Framing Majismo
Majismo, a cultural phenomenon that embodied the popular aesthetic in Spain from the second half of the eighteenth century, served as a vehicle to “regain” Spanish heritage. As expressed in visual representations of popular types participating in traditional customs and wearing garments viewed as historically Spanish, majismo conferred on Spanish “citizens” the pictorial ideal of a shared national character. In Framing Majismo, Tara Zanardi explores nobles’ fascination with and appropriation of the practices and types associated with majismo, as well as how this connection cultivated the formation of an elite Spanish identity in the late 1700s and aided the Bourbons’ objective to...

Documenting Spain: Artists, Exhibition Culture, and the Modern Nation, 1929Ð1939
The news media have given us potent demonstrations of the ambiguity of ostensibly truthful representations of public events. Jordana Mendelson uses this ambiguity as a framework for the study of Spanish visual culture from 1929 to 1939--a decade marked, on the one hand, by dictatorship, civil war, and Franco's rise to power and, on the other, by a surge in the production of documentaries of various types, from films and photographs to international exhibitions. Mendelson begins with an examination of El Pueblo Español, a model Spanish village featured at the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona. She then discusses Buñuel's and Dalí's documentary films, relating them not only to Fren...
Teaching Representations of the Spanish Civil War
It was the stuff of Capa, Hemingway, Orwell, Picasso, Rodoreda, Sender, and a host of others working in Catalan, German, Irish and Spanish from both sides of the Atlantic. It is also very difficult to teach, not only because the Spanish Civil War is perceived as the precursor to World War II but also because it has been heavily romanticized. This collection of articles and resources cuts to the events and their real impact on history, literature and the arts and includes commentary on contexts, rhetoric, ideology, writing, film, music, iconography and the visual, memory and displacement. This stands alone as a series of accounts of the ways the war was and is represented, giving narratives of such elements as the memories of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and the uses of allegory, but it is also particularly valuable through its lists of resources and course syllabi.

Spanish Laughter
Presenting a cultural and interdisciplinary study of humor in Spain from the eighteenth century to the present day, this book examines how humour entered public life, how it attained a legitimacy to communicate ‘serious’ ideas in the Enlightenment and how this set the seed for the key position that humor occupies in society today. Through a range of case studies that run from Goya’s paintings, humor, and gender representations in radio programmes during the first Franco regime, developmentalist cinema of the sixties and seventies, to the transformation of female humor in social media, the book traces the core role that the comical has played in the public sphere. The contributors to this volume represent a wide range of disciplines including gender studies, humour studies and Hispanic studies and offer international perspectives on Spanish laughter.
La cultura en la Universitat de València: 1985-2019
Con motivo del XX Aniversario del Centre Cultural La Nau y del 520 de la Universitat de València, este libro recoge la historia de su actividad cultural entre 1985 y 2019. Toma como punto de partida la aprobación de sus Estatutos, que supusieron el inicio de su andadura democrática y autónoma, y que ya la definían como una institución difusora de cultura en el seno de la sociedad. Para cumplir con esta misión, la Universitat de València ha desarrollado innumerables iniciativas y programas en el terreno de las artes escénicas, la literatura, el cine, la música, las exposiciones, la cultura científica, el debate público o el patrimonio cultural. Esta obra recoge, por primera vez en un único volumen, el camino recorrido en cumplimiento de la que constituye una de sus principales funciones: el desarrollo de una cultura crítica transformadora de la realidad social y favorecedora de la convivencia democrática, plural y en igualdad.
