“The Op-Ed Novel not only elegantly recounts a vital intellectual and cultural history of post-Franco Spain. Carefully exploring the careers of Spain’s most eminent writers, it demonstrates, too, the osmotic links between political journalism and literary fiction—salutary reading in the English-speaking countries, where politics and literature are still regarded as strangers to each other.”—Pankaj Mishra, author of Run and Hide A new history of contemporary Spanish fiction through the prism of novelists’ newspaper columns. Public intellectuals come in many different stripes, but most of them gain a following at least in part from their writing, whether in the form of magazine art...
Tradicionalmente, se ha señalado que las manifestaciones pro autonomía del 4 de diciembre de 1977 fueron sorpresivas, ya que sus organizadores no se esperaban el éxito que tuvieron. Sin embargo, las causas de esa respuesta popular, aparentemente salida de la nada, se fueron construyendo años atrás. Todo ello gracias a la difusión de una literatura de denuncia de los problemas de Andalucía, la actuación de formaciones políticas regionalistas, la contribución de artistas a la reflexión sobre Andalucía, la aparición de colectivos andalucistas como Solidaridad Andaluza o la promoción de la cultura andaluza a través de actividades de asociaciones vecinales y culturales. Especialmen...
La obra se centra en el análisis de tres aspectos esenciales de la comunicación andaluza. En primer lugar, se hace un estudio de la historia de la prensa, radio, publicidad, periodismo gráfico y TV. A continuación, se analiza la estructura de la comunicación: las empresas periodísticas, audiovisuales, editoriales, la prensa gratuita, la radio local, etc. La tercera parte está dedicada a las nuevas tecnologías que constituyen el presente de la comunicación. Este trabajo supone una compilación actualizada de la comunicación andaluza que tiene como objetivo convertirse en soporte de referencia para las investigaciones futuras en este ámbito de estudio.
Flamenco dance and bullfighting are parallel arts with shared traditions, performance conventions and vocabularies of movement. This volume introduces readers to an ongoing discussion in Spanish scholarship about the links between these two quintessentially Spanish arts. The author--a dancer and a student of bullfighting--describes the informal practice of both arts in private settings and their emergence as formal public rituals in the bullfighting arena and on the flamenco stage. Key bullfighting techniques and their influence on flamenco dance style are discussed in the context of understanding the worldview and kinesthetic culture of Spain.

Historians have only recently established the scale of the violence carried out by the supporters of General Franco during and after the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939. An estimated 88,000 unidentified victims of Francoist violence remain to be exhumed from mass graves and given a dignified burial, and for decades, the history of these victims has also been buried. This volume brings together a range of Spanish and British specialists who offer an original and challenging overview of this violence. Contributors not only examine the mass killings and incarcerations, but also carefully consider how the repression carried out in the government zone during the Civil War - long misrepresented in Francoist accounts - seeped into everyday life. A final section explores ways of facing Spain’s recent violent past.
Andalucia is the quintessence of Spain and yet, historically and culturally, it is surprisingly unlike the rest of the country. Its literary history began to develop with the Romans and reached an early flowering when Arabic poets drew on centuries of literary tradition, together with the landscapes and passions of Moorish Spain. Later, Prosper Mérimée, Byron and Washington Irving forged legends of exotic southern Spain that persist to this day and Spanish writers themselves captured the rich tapestry of Andalucian culture, from Cervantes' Seville to the Córdoba of Baroque poet Luis de Góngora and Lorca's 'hidden Andalucia'. With the advent of the Civil War, a new generation flocked to Andalucia and were inspired to write some of the twentieth century's most iconic works of literature, from Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls to Gerald Brenan's The Spanish Labyrinth and Laurie Lee's trilogy of books. As vibrant and compelling as the region itself, Andalucia: A Literary Guide for Travellers illuminates the very soul of Spain.
This book is a comprehensive 2002 analysis of the Spanish left during the civil war of 1936-9.
