Crónica de un dandy español en el 15 aniversario de su muerte. La publicación de El frío de una vida, en 2004, marcó un antes y un después en el dominio del género de la biografía española. La brillante y rigurosa interpretación que se hacía de la escritura umbraliana a partir de los obstáculos y dificultades reales que no dejaron de asediar al escritor a lo largo de su vida (1932-2007) -y que hasta entonces habían permanecido ocultos- supuso una novedad y también un desafío. Anna Caballé fijó las circunstancias en las que transcurrieron la infancia y adolescencia de Francisco Umbral y su llegada a Madrid. También analizó y contextualizó en profundidad su incansable labor...

NUEVA EDICIÓN AMPLIADA DE LA BIOGRAFÍA DEFINITIVA DE UNA MUJER ÚNICA. La vida de Carmen Laforet cambió en enero de 1945, cuando, contratodo pronóstico, se le concedió el Premio Nadal en su primera edición. Este galardón significó un antes y un después para una joven de veintitrés años que había sorprendido a todo el mundo con Nada, una de las grandes novelas españolas de posguerra. Se abría ante ella un mundo de expectativas y exigencias que nunca se llegaron a colmar. En la nueva edición de esta documentadísima biografía, Anna Caballé e Israel Rolón-Barada levantan por fin el halo de misterio que, con el paso de los años, envolvió a Carmen Laforet, una mujer esquiva que tomó la decisión de desaparecer de la esfera pública e intelectual de su época para que prevalecieran su intimidad y silencio en busca de independencia y libertad. Una biografía esencial para entender la atormentada realidad de la misteriosa autora de Nada. Lejos de ser una obra superficial sobre la protagonista, nos asomamos a la vida de Carmen Laforet con profundidad y sensibilidad. En la vida singular de la autora se reconoce la trama de toda una época.

La biografía definitiva de la madre del feminismo español. Ganadora del Premio Nacional de Historia de España. De una inteligencia fuera de lo común, Concepción Arenal fue la pensadora española más importante, original y adelantada a su tiempo del siglo XIX, y la de mayor proyección internacional. Dedicó su vida a la defensa de la mujer, la reforma penal y la causa obrera. Esta biografía reconstruye por primera vez su trayectoria vital, sus aspiraciones y sus aciertos. Al igual que ocurre con la vida de Goethe, su biografía se podría dividir en dos épocas muy marcadas: una juventud nerviosa, sensible y arrogante, con dificultades para encontrar el equilibrio entre la razón y el...

Feeling Strangely in Mid-Century Spanish and Latin American Women’s Fiction

An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library as part of the Opening the Future project with COPIM. The early twentieth century was awash in revolutionary scientific discourse, and its uptake in the public imaginary through popular scientific writings touched every area of human experience, from politics and governance to social mores and culture. Feeling Strangely argues that these shifting scientific understandings and their integration into Hispanic and Lusophone society reshaped the experience of gender. The book analyzes gender as a felt experience and explores how that experience is shaped by popular scientific discours...

Art from Trauma

What is the role of aesthetic expression in responding to discrimination, tragedy, violence, even genocide? How does gender shape responses to both literal and structural violence, including implicit linguistic, familial, and cultural violence? How might writing or other works of art contribute to healing? Art from Trauma: Genocide and Healing beyond Rwanda explores the possibility of art as therapeutic, capable of implementation by mental health practitioners crafting mental health policy in Rwanda. This anthology of scholarly, personal, and hybrid essays was inspired by scholar and activist Chantal Kalisa (1965–2015). At the commemoration of the nineteenth anniversary of the genocide in ...

First English translation of these important works by two of Spain’s most gifted writers and intellectuals. Following the defeat of the Second Spanish Republic, María Zambrano (1904–1991) and Rosa Chacel (1898–1994), two of Spain’s most gifted intellectuals and writers, wrote compelling meditations on the meaning of confession in life and literature. Noël Valis and Carol Maier provide the first complete English-language translations of these essays. Zambrano and Chacel were friends, if not always amicably so; supporters of the Republic; and exiles. Both disciples of the philosopher Ortega y Gasset, they were nevertheless able to establish their own creative independence in their writing. Not only do the essays address national issues centered on Spanish literature, culture, and history, they also offer a unique philosophical-spiritual and literary approach to confession within the areas of philosophy, literature, religion, autobiography, women’s and gender studies, and cultural studies. The translators’ introduction, afterword, and meticulous annotations supplement the texts.

Most accounts of the Spanish transition to democracy have been celebratory exercises at the service of a stabilizing rather than a critical project of far-reaching reform. As one of the essays in this volume puts it, the “pact of oblivion,” which characterized the Spanish transition to democracy, curtailed any serious attempt to address the legacies of authoritarianism that the new democracy inherited from the Franco era. As a result, those legacies pervaded public discourse even in newly created organs of opinion. As another contributor argues, the Transition was based on the erasure of memory and the invention of a new political tradition. On the other hand, memory and its etiolation h...
