Crosses of Memory and Oblivion
This book explores the history and legacy of monuments to the fallen from the Francoist side in the Spanish Civil War. Del Arco Blanco studies thousands of monuments in towns and cities across Spain to provide a detailed account of the history and memory of the civil war, Francoism, and the transition to democracy. Chapters in the book focus on the myth of those said to have 'fallen for God and for Spain'—a phrase that encapsulated and shaped the dichotomy between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ Spaniards. They also focus on the use of monuments to control political and ideological ideals and to legitimise the Francoist dictatorship. Further chapters study Spanish society’s struggle to deal wit...
¡Viva la muerte!
¡Viva la muerte! es el grito de Millán Astray, fundador de la Legión. En efecto, vive la muerte podía ser la triste constatación de su rival, Miguel de Unamuno, en la ceremonia que tiene lugar en la Universidad salmantina en 1936. Pese a su disparidad, entre la mística necrófila del fascismo y el pesimismo de la inteligencia, se aprecia una base común: la abrumadora presencia de lo macabro en la cultura y política españolas del siglo XX. Sus raíces son profundas. Lo macabro desempeña un papel crucial en nuestra cultura, desde las danzas de la muerte medievales a la vanitas barroca (Valdés Leal), desde el suicidio romántico (Larra) a la recreación de la España negra (Regoyos),...
Métodos de propaganda activa en la Guerra Civil española
Analiza, desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar, y siempre buscando la necesaria objetividad, las diversas expresiones culturales en las que, tanto republicanos como alcistas, se apoyaron para apuntalar su ideario. Ofrece así un extenso recorrido en el que a los dos artífices mayores de la propaganda cultural, Partido Comunista de España y Falange Española Tradicionalista y de las JONS, se une un gran número de intérpretes.

El Hierro Island
This book presents an in-depth review of El Hierro Island, the youngest and most southwesterly volcano of the Canary Islands. In October 2011, a submarine eruption started offshore El Hierro Island. The 2011–2012 El Hierro eruption has probably been the best monitored and studied submarine eruption to date and has sparked interest in the study of this young ocean island volcano. During the last decade, multidisciplinary investigations, e.g., on the geological and volcanological character of its past and latest onshore and offshore eruptions, the geophysical and geochemical signatures of its magmatic plumbing system structure and dynamics, as well as the bio-geophysical interactions and consequences of submarine eruptions in the ocean, have been conducted. This book provides an authoritative review of many of these scientific advances as well as multiple remaining unknowns for the study of El Hierro Island and its 2011–2012 submarine eruption. Such knowledge should be of great interest to specialists not only in the Canary Islands volcanism but also in similar ocean island intraplate volcanoes.
Metaphors of Spain
The history of twentieth-century Spanish nationalism is a complex one, placing a set of famously distinctive regional identities against a backdrop of religious conflict, separatist tensions, and the autocratic rule of Francisco Franco. And despite the undeniably political character of that story, cultural history can also provide essential insights into the subject. Metaphors of Spain brings together leading historians to examine Spanish nationalism through its diverse and complementary cultural artifacts, from “formal” representations such as the flag to music, bullfighting, and other more diffuse examples. Together they describe not a Spanish national “essence,” but a nationalism that is constantly evolving and accommodates multiple interpretations.
