The Crucible of Francoism
The July 1936 coup d'tat against the Spanish Second Republic brought together a diversity of anti-Republican political and social groups under the leadership of rebel Africanista military officers. In the ensuing Civil War this coalition gradually came under the rule of Generalissimo Franco. This volume explores the hypothesis that the violence and combat experiences of the war were the fundamental ideological crucible for the Francoist regime. The rebels were a group of reactionary and anti-liberal forces with little ideological or political coherence, but they emerged from the conflict not only victorious but ideologically united under the dictator's power. Key to understanding this transi...
Raising an Empire
Raising an Empire takes readers on a journey into the world of children and childhood in early modern Ibero-America.
Cerámica Y Cultura
By examining both historic and contemporary examples, the editors move discussion of the enameled earthenware known as mayolica beyond its stylistic merits in order to understand it in historic and cultural context. It places the ceramics in history and daily life, illustrating their place in trade and economics.
The Formation of the Child in Early Modern Spain
Drawing on history, literature, and art to explore childhood in early modern Spain, the contributors to this collection argue that early modern Spaniards conceptualized childhood as a distinct and discrete stage in life which necessitated special care and concern. The volume contrasts the didactic use of art and literature with historical accounts of actual children, and analyzes children in a wide range of contexts including the royal court, the noble family, and orphanages. The volume explores several interrelated questions that challenge both scholars of Spain and scholars specializing in childhood. How did early modern Spaniards perceive childhood? In what framework (literary, artistic) ...
A Planetary Avant-Garde
A Planetary Avant-Garde explores how experimental poetics and literature networks have aesthetically and politically responded to the legacy of Iberian colonialism across the world. The book examines avant-garde responses to Spanish and Portuguese imperialism across Europe, Latin America, West Africa, and Southeast Asia between 1909 and 1929. Ignacio Infante critically traces the hegemony and resistance to the colonial regimes of Spain and Portugal across particular avant-garde networks, expanding our understanding of Western colonial and imperial ideologies of the early twentieth century. The book extends geopolitical dimensions of the historical avant-garde into a wider transnational and p...
Political Exile in the Global Twentieth Century
This book focuses on the political exile of Catholic Christian Democrats during the global twentieth century, from the end of the First World War to the end of the Cold War. Transcending the common national approach, the present volume puts transnational perspectives at center stage and in doing so aspires to be a genuinely global and longitudinal study. Political Exile in the Global Twentieth Century includes chapters on continental European exile in the United Kingdom and North America through 1945; on Spanish exile following the Civil War (1936–39), throughout the Franco dictatorship; on East-Central European exile from the defeat of Nazi Germany and the establishment of Communist rule (1944–48) through the end of the Cold War; and Latin American exile following the 1973 Chilean coup. Encompassing Europe (both East and West), Latin America, and the United States, Political Exile in the Global Twentieth Century places the diasporas of twentieth-century Christian Democracy within broader, global debates on political exile and migration.
Sevilla: crónicas del siglo XX (1841-1960).
En este recorrido por el siglo XX sevillano, escrito con perspectiva y estilo periodísticos, como unos modernos anales, de fácil lectura y consulta, se ofrecen unas crónicas del pasado más reciente, tan cercano en el tiempo y tan lejano en la memoria colectiva sometida a la vorágine informativa de nuestra época.
De cómo se improvisó el franquismo durante la Guerra Civil
La autora analiza la íntima relación existente entre prensa y franquismo a partir de esta conocida cabecera. “La elección de ‘ABC’ de Sevilla viene de la observación del valor como fuente que adquirió en el momento de la crisis política más importante de la reciente historia española”, aclara en el prólogo, y añade: “Es indudable que el diario ‘ABC’, en sus dos ediciones de Madrid y Sevilla, ocupa un lugar notable en la historia española del siglo XX. Y, sin embargo, es la etapa vivida entre 1936 y 1939 una de las más interesantes de su existencia porque, además de ser posiblemente la única ocasión en que una misma cabecera se publica en dos bandos enfrentados en una guerra, su edición sevillana alcanzó un más que notorio protagonismo en el territorio ocupado por las tropas sublevadas”.
Historias de las «terceras Españas» (1933-2022)
Se empezó a hablar de la “tercera España” en los años treinta. A continuación, con la Guerra Civil y el franquismo casi se le perdió el rastro y hasta la memoria. El sintagma volvió a emerger tímidamente en el exilio republicano y, sorprendentemente, no durante la transición a la democracia, sino a partir de los años ochenta. Desde entonces, el concepto se discute de vez en cuando sin que se definan su consistencia y su perímetro. El abanico de las posturas es muy amplio: hay quien niega su existencia o la circunscribe a un pequeño grupo de intelectuales favorables a la mediación durante la Guerra Civil, quien la identifica con la mayoría de los españoles durante aquel conf...
