Researching Newsreels
This volume addresses the underscrutinised topic of cinema newsreels. These short, multi-themed newsfilms, usually accompanied by explanatory intertitles or voiceovers, were a central part of the filmgoing experience around the world from 1910 through the late 1960s, and in many cases even later. As the only source of moving image news available before the widespread advent of television, newsreels are important social documents, recording what the general public was told and shown about the events and personalities of the day. Often disregarded as quirky or trivial, they were heavily utilised as propaganda vehicles, offering insights into the socio-political norms reflected in cinema during the first half of the twentieth century. The book presents a range of current research being undertaken in newsreel studies internationally and makes a case for a reconsideration of the importance of newsreels in the wider landscape of film history.
Unwritten Afro-Iberian Memories and Histories
This book sketches out an innovative Afro-Iberian mosaic that puts forgotten memories and histories into circulation, constructing an Afro-Iberian past that is critical of the cultural racialization of Spaniards and Portuguese. It builds an early late modern and contemporary Afro-Iberian history and approaches African and Maghrebi experiences and memories in order to explain the close relation between race, class, ethnicity and gender in Portugal and Spain between 1850 and 2021. The book approaches the African presence in the Iberian Peninsula by identifying and documenting the traces of these population groups in Spain and Portugal. Cultural Studies, Anthropology and Sociology are some of t...
Colonialist Gazes and Counternarratives of Blackness
Building on the growing field of Afropean Studies, this interdisciplinary and intermedial collection of essays proposes a dialogue on Afro-Spanishness that is not exclusively tied to immigration and that understands Blackness as a non-essentialist, heterogeneous and diasporic concept. Studying a variety of twentieth- and twenty-first-century cultural products, some essays explore the resilience of the colonialist paradigms and the circulation of racial ideologies and colonial memories that promote national narratives of whitening. Others focus on Black self-representation and examine how Afro-Spanish authors, artists, and activists destabilize colonial gazes and constructions of national identity, propose decolonial views of Spain and Europe’s literature and history, articulate Afro-Diasporic knowledges, and envision Afro-descendance as an empowering tool.
Afro-Latinx Digital Connections
This volume presents examples of how digital technologies are being used by people of African descent in South America and the Caribbean, a topic that has been overlooked within the field of digital humanities. These case studies show that in the last few decades, Black Latinx communities have been making themselves visible and asserting long-standing claims and rights through digital tools and platforms, which have been essential for enacting discussions and creating new connections between diverse groups. Afro-Latinx Digital Connections includes both research articles and interviews with practitioners who are working to create opportunities for marginalized communities. Projects discussed ...
Personas Africanas y Afrodescendientes en España Ayer y Hoy
Este libro se propone deconstruir el discurso de la "homogeneidad" de la Península Ibérica para resignificar esta área geográfica como espacio multirracial y multicultural en continua redefinición a través de los siglos. Examina cómo se negocia la presencia de personas racializadas como negras desde sus primeras apariciones históricas en la literatura, el arte y otras prácticas culturales hasta la actualidad. Ejemplos de representaciones de personas racializadas en la literatura española apuntan a que las prácticas racistas y las representaciones estereotipadas han conformado y conforman la forma en la que la sociedad española trata a las personas negras tanto entonces como ahora...
Hispanos en el mundo
Moving elsewhere is a moving thing. This volume sheds light on the interdependence of emotion and the migration of Hispanics in the world. The essays, written in Spanish and English and departing from various perspectives and disciplines, analyze different media in which Spanish-speaking individuals express their feelings about their travels, their personal experience with migration, and the repercussions of historic migration movements.
Les Francophonies « noires »
Cet ouvrage fait suite au colloque Les Francophonies « noires » qui s’est tenu les 26 et 27 janvier 2017 à l’Université de Haute-Alsace. Trois axes principaux structurent ce volume. C’est d’abord la « poétique des langues » qui est interrogée, selon une double perspective imaginaire et pragmatique, dans les contributions de P. Boizette, P. Fandio, J.-M. Devésa, B. Urbani et J. Serghini. V. Mendou, M. Anagonou et E. Sall posent ensuite la question du rapport (problématique) entre couleur et identité. Enfin, c’est en termes de stratégie que la couleur est pensée, autour des concepts de storytelling, d’appartenance et d’esthétisation.
Ambiguität und Geschlecht in der Neuzeit
Was geschieht, wenn das binäre Geschlechtermodell irritiert wird, also die gesellschaftlich etablierte Unterscheidung zwischen Mann und Frau nicht greift? Wird geschlechtliche Ambiguität toleriert oder werden die Unterscheidung und die Unterscheidbarkeit erzwungen? Die Beiträger*innen besprechen dazu Fallanalysen aus dem Zeitraum vom 17. Jahrhundert bis zur Gegenwart. Aus unterschiedlichen Fachperspektiven zeigen sie auf, wie Ambiguität eine epistemische Offenheit generiert, deren Auflösung sich kulturabhängig und epochenübergreifend verschieden gestaltet - von einer Bereicherung und Etablierung neuer Werte bis zu Zurückweisung und Widerstand.
Digitaler Habitus
Dieser Band erkundet in einem interdisziplinären Zuschnitt, inwiefern das Habituskonzept auch im digitalen Bereich als explanatorische Kategorie für die Theoriebildung wie auch empirische Ansätze fruchtbar gemacht werden kann. Der Fokus liegt auf der Analyse von Lern- und Bildungskontexten. Im Zentrum stehen Formen der Selbstpräsentation in digitalen Medien, die digitalen Fähigkeiten verschiedener Gruppierungen sowie die Wechselwirkungen des Digitalen Habitus mit literalen Praktiken. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.de
Beyond Gender
Scholars and activists often narrate the history of gender and feminism as a progression of "waves," said to mark high points of innovation in theory and moments of political breakthrough. Arguing for the notion of multiple futurities over that of progressive waves, Beyond Gender combines theoretical work with practical applications to provide an advanced introduction to contemporary feminist and sexuality research and advocacy. This comprehensive monograph documents the diversification of gender-related disciplines and struggles, arguing for a multidisciplinary approach to issues formerly subsumed under the unified field of gender studies. Split into two parts, the volume demonstrates how t...
