Carmen de Burgos Seguí. Réplica a sus Impresiones de la Argentina (1913)
El discurso de Carmen de Burgos Seguí (noviembre, 1913) pronunciado a su regreso de la Argentina titulado "Impresiones de la Argentina", dio origen a este ensayo con réplica a sus dichos mediante una investigación histórica. El estilo crítico e injurioso hacia el país, habitantes e instituciones provocó en la autora el deseo de dar respuesta a esos asuntos que involucran a la Argentina y sus relaciones con España. En vísperas del Centenario de 1910 arribaron a la Argentina escritores, periodistas, pintores y conferenciantes con interés por conocer estas tierras. En este marco histórico llegó a Buenos Aires Colombine patrocinada por el gobierno español a fin de realizar visitas y...
Influencers, Activists, and Women's Rights
The newspaper columnist Carmen de Burgos Seguí caused a sensation in 1903 when she called for a public discussion on divorce, then illegal in Spain. The fierce debate that ensued among Spain's leading thinkers--politicians, academics, feminists, journalists, and others--is collected in Divorce in Spain. This milestone volume ultimately contributed to Spain's legalizing divorce in the 1930s--a victory for women's rights that was subsequently rolled back by the Franco dictatorship and not regained for over fifty years. The opinions showcased here illuminate the uniqueness of feminism in early-twentieth-century Spain: because ideas about marriage and the role of women in society were anchored in Catholic teachings, feminist arguments focused on rights to education, divorce, and employment instead of on suffrage.

Geographies of Urban Female Labor and Nationhood in Spanish Culture, 1880–1975
Mar Soria presents an innovative cultural analysis of female workers in Spanish literature and films. Drawing from nation-building theories, the work of feminist geographers, and ideas about the construction of the marginal subject in society, Soria examines how working women were perceived as Other in Spain from 1880 to 1975. By studying the representation of these marginalized individuals in a diverse array of cultural artifacts, Soria contends that urban women workers symbolized the desires and anxieties of a nation caught between traditional values and rapidly shifting socioeconomic forces. Specifically, the representation of urban female work became a mode of reinforcing and contesting ...
Carmen de Burgos
This is a scholarly edition of three stories by Carmen de Burgos (1867-1932), including the unabridged texts, vocabulary, notes, chronology, bibliography, 'temas de debate y discusión', and a critical introduction. De Burgos, also known by her pen-name of 'Colombine', was an influential journalist, socio-political activist, and a key literary figure in the cultural ferment of pre-war Madrid. She is currently being rediscovered, having languished in a long and regrettable oblivion during the Franco years. Confidencias (1920) is the fictional diary of a young married woman, describing her first adulterous relationship and exploiting the narratological possibilities of the diary form. La mujer...
Transnational Modernity in Southern Europe
This book explores women’s editorial and salon activities in Southern Europe and provides a comparative view of their practices. It argues that women in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece used their double role as editors and salonnières to engage with foreign cultures, launch the careers of promising young authors and advocate for modernization and social change. By examining a neglected body of periodicals edited between 1860 and 1920, this book sets out to explore women’s editorial agendas and their interest in creating a connection between salon life and the print press. What purpose did this connection serve? How did women editors use their periodicals and their salons to create opp...
Science in Translation
Despite the crucial role played by translation in the history of scientific ideas and the transmission of knowledge, historians of science have seldom been interested in the translation activity which enabled the spread of those ideas and exerted influence on structures and systems of knowledge. Translation scholars, too, have traditionally shown little interest in theorizing scientific translation. Recent conceptualizations of science as public culture, institution, narrative and rhetorical practice open the way for research on the translation of science to take conceptual and methodological inspiration from studies of discourse, rhetoric, the sociology of science, the history of science, t...
La mirada serena
Unamuno escribió que «la mirada glauca y serena de Miró ilumina cuanto mira». No está mal aludir desde la cubierta del libro a esta frase, porque el escritor alicantino ha figurado de manera destacada entre las preferencias del profesor Miguel Ángel Lozano, y a él están dedicados varios estudios contenidos en este libro. Y también porque, en el fondo, es a lo que aspiramos quienes nos dedicamos a los estudios literarios: a iluminar, más que lo que miramos, lo que leemos.
Spanish National Identity, Colonial Power, and the Portrayal of Muslims and Jews During the Rif War (1909-27)
Runner-up for the 2017-18 AHGBI-Spanish Embassy Publication Prize This book examines how anxieties about colonial power and national identity are reflected in Spanish literature, journalism, and photography of Moroccan Muslim and Jewish cultures during the Spanish colonisation of Northern Morocco from 1909 to 1927. This understudied period, known as the Rif War, is highly significant because of its role in shaping the identities that came into conflict in the Spanish Civil War (1936-39). Furthermore, the book makes a key contribution to Spanish colonial studies by offering a comparative analysis of Spanish representations of the Iberian Peninsula's cultural and historical relationship with Moroccan Muslims and Jews in this context, showing how conflicting visions of Spanish identity are portrayed through and in relation to them.
