El estado social
La compatibilidad entre el Estado de Derecho y el Estado social no es una premisa teórica. Tiene unas exigencias insoslayables, que pasan por la obligación para el Estado de crear las condiciones socio-económicas que hagan realidad los derechos fundamentales proclamados en la Constitución. En el desarrollo concreto del Estado constitucional democrático de nuestros días, parece cada vez más certera la opinión que se inclina por superar la eventual contraposición entre los derechos que son expresión del principio liberal puro, los que son manifestación del principio democrático y los derechos de prestación. Desde esta perspectiva, adquiere importancia el análisis de las concretas...

Painting Words
Painting Words: Aesthetics and the Relationship between Image and Text addresses the importance of dialogue between art and literature, text and image in our image-saturated era. In a globalized world, isolation and compartmentalization hinder us back, whereas the Romantic idea of belonging urges us to look beyond and to build bridges. Bearing this Romantic spirit in mind, rather than focusing on a traditional paragonal approach, this book puts forward the benefits of alliance by offering an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspective. Illustrations are included to guide the reader into comparativism and intermedial encounters, while providing an inspiring overview of the literary an...
Diaspora and Exile
The different contributions of this body of work attemp to demonstrate that the concept of diaspora (exile) has acquired a renewed currency among scholars by examining that to be in exile, at least in some way, is to live a disjoint life. Thus, to live in exileor diaspora implies to take up the difficult task of kee-ping one`s dignity and one ́s story, despite the on slaught of a colonial power. The relationship with a past, often through stories of the mother/land or through remembrance and (re)creation, becomes a means of survival. Futhermore, the sense (or absence) of community, and the positioning in language generate an ever more complex and dialogic definition of Canadian and American nationalities and identities.
A Descent Into Edgar Allan Poe and His Works
Today Edgar Allan Poe is a well-known and highly regarded author. When, a hundred years ago (1909), a group of Poe acquaintances, fans and scholars got together at the University of Virginia to commemorate Poe's birth centenary, they had to do so in order to modify the persistent misstatements of his earlier biographers, and to correct the unsettled judgment of his literary rank. Now, in 2009, many Poe fans and scholars are gathering together once more to honour Poe on the second centenary of his birth. Different types of events (theatrical and musical performances, book auctions, etc.) and academic conferences have been celebrated on both sides of the Atlantic, acclaiming Poe's literary ran...
Administración pública y menores de edad
En 2015 se llevó a cabo una profunda modificación del sistema de protección a la infancia y la adolescencia vigente en nuestro país desde 1996, tras la aprobación de la Ley Orgánica de Protección Jurídica del Menor. No debe sorprender que, entre los elementos que pusieron de manifiesto los importantes cambios sociales que se habían producido en la situación de los menores en los casi veinte años transcurridos, y que demandaban una mejora de sus instrumentos de protección jurídica, se mencionen dos importantes informes monográficos del Defensor del Pueblo. Dejando al margen la actividad del Comité de los Derechos de Niño en el control de la observancia de la Convención de Nac...
Reading and Interpreting the Works of Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poes poems and short stories may be familiar to students, but the life that inspired these tales may still remain a mystery. This text provides readers with an understanding of how Poes writing was influenced by the time period in which he lived and the circumstances of his tragic life. Students will learn how to ponder, interpret, and comprehend Poes work through critical analysis of his themes, word choice, and style and through direct quotations from Poe himself.
On the Trail of Don Quixote: The Route Followed by Romantic Travellers
La publicación de este volumen representa un caso relativamente insólito. Un pequeño grupo de jóvenes investigadores de menos de treinta años convence a un grupo mucho más numeroso de la misma edad para celebrar en Salamanca la First Conference of Young Researchers on Anglophone Studies. El resultado es deslumbrante. No solo demuestran una gran capacidad organizativa, sino que los resultados individuales de las aportaciones científicas son sobresalientes. Este volumen, Current Trends in Anglophone Studies, recoge una selección revisada de las propuestas presentadas en el Encuentro y gira en torno a una estructuración tripartita clásica: estudios culturales, lingüísticos y literar...
Global Frankenstein
Consisting of sixteen original essays by experts in the field, including leading and lesser-known international scholars, Global Frankenstein considers the tremendous adaptability and rich afterlives of Mary Shelley’s iconic novel, Frankenstein, at its bicentenary, in such fields and disciplines as digital technology, film, theatre, dance, medicine, book illustration, science fiction, comic books, science, and performance art. This ground-breaking, celebratory volume, edited by two established Gothic Studies scholars, reassesses Frankenstein’s global impact for the twenty-first century across a myriad of cultures and nations, from Japan, Mexico, and Turkey, to Britain, Iraq, Europe, and North America. Offering compelling critical dissections of reincarnations of Frankenstein, a generically hybrid novel described by its early reviewers as a “bold,” “bizarre,” and “impious” production by a writer “with no common powers of mind”, this collection interrogates its sustained relevance over two centuries during which it has engaged with such issues as mortality, global capitalism, gender, race, embodiment, neoliberalism, disability, technology, and the role of science.
