Centenary of the Russian Revolution (1917-2017)
This collection of essays provides an historical, plural and original analysis of the Russian Revolution to mark its first centenary. It focuses on both regional aspects – such as the impact of the Revolution in Spain and Latin America – and major events, ideas and phenomena, including the importance of World War I, the birth of the Communist International and the definition of revolution and counterrevolution. The book will mainly appeal to academic audiences, as well as non-specialized readers interested in the major issues of the contemporary world. It offers new insights into an event that contributed to the shaping of the twentieth century and that is still fundamental to understanding the world of today.
El falso documental
El falso documental ha pasado de ser una producción anecdótica a convertirse en una categoría cinematográfica reconocida por el gran público. Aunque su popularidadactual es incuestionable, no se trata de una forma nueva, sino que podemos rastrearla desde el inicio del cinematógrafo. Este libro recopila algunos de los títulos más emblemáticos, buscando a través de su estudio las características y la estructura que lo definen como modelo documental.En sus páginas se mantiene que todo fake puede ser estudiado no solo por los códigos tradicionalmente adscritos a los relatos de realidad que parasita, sino también por el contexto de su producción, su recepción y por la actitud mantenida por el texto. Alguno de los aspectos que mejor definen el falso documental es su falta de vocaciónde engaño y su insistencia en retratar los medios de comunicación de una manera subversiva.
"Visual Propaganda, Exhibitions, and the Spanish Civil War "
Visual Propaganda, Exhibitions, and the Spanish Civil War is a history of art during wartime that analyzes images in various media that circulated widely and were encountered daily by Spaniards on city walls, in print, and in exhibitions. Tangible elements of the nation?s past?monuments, cultural property, and art-historical icons?were displayed in temporary exhibitions and museums, as well as reproduced on posters and in print media, to rally the population, define national identity, and reinvent distant and recent history. Artists, political-party propagandists, and government administrators believed that images on the street, in print, and in exhibitions would create a community of viewer...
The Resilient City in World War II
The fate of towns and cities stands at the center of the environmental history of World War II. Broad swaths of cityscapes were destroyed by the bombing of targets such as transport hubs, electrical grids, and industrial districts, and across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, urban environments were transformed by the massive mobilization of human and natural resources to support the conflict. But at the same time, the war saw remarkable resilience among the human and non-human residents of cities. Foregrounding the concept of urban resilience, this collection uncovers the creative survival strategies that city-dwellers of all kinds turned to in the midst of environmental devastation. As the first major study at the intersection of environmental, urban, and military history, The Resilient City in World War II lays the groundwork for an improved understanding of rapid change in urban environments, and how societies may adapt.

Rerouting Galician Studies
This book—aimed at both the general reader and the specialist—offers a transatlantic, transnational, and multidisciplinary cartography of the rapidly expanding intellectual field of Galician Studies. In the twenty-one essays that comprise the volume, leading scholars based in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand engage with this field from the perspectives of queer theory, Atlantic and diasporic thought, political ecology, hydropoetics, theories of space, trauma and memory studies, exile, national/postnational approaches, linguistic ideologies, ethnographic poetry and photography, Galician language in the US academic curriculum, the politics of children’s books, film and visual studies, the interrelation of painting and literature, and material culture. Structured around five organizational categories (Frames, Routes, Readings, Teachings, and Visualities), and adopting a pluricentric view of Galicia as an analytical subject of study, the book brings cutting-edge debates in Galician Studies to a broad international readership.

Transformacions
Aquest volum reuneix un conjunt de reflexions sobre la incidència de les dinàmiques de transformació en les pràctiques culturals dels darrers quaranta anys. El llibre analitza com les dinàmiques de canvi social han interactuat amb les institucions culturals i, específicament, amb les literàries. Així mateix, estudia com aquesta imbricació entre cultura i canvi social ha condicionat l'evolució dels gèneres literaris, la percepció de la identitat cultural i de gènere, la dramatúrgia i les possibilitats de l'art i de la literatura de redefinir l'espai públic. En suma, el volum és fruit d'una recerca de noves vies per conceptualitzar la relació productiva i dinàmica entre textos i contextos, entre els marcs disciplinaris i la multiplicitat de mirades crítiques a què ens obliga l'anàlisi de la societat i la cultura contemporània.
