The Poetry and Music of Joaquín Sabina: An Angel with Black Wings is a thoroughly researched exploration of the life, music, and song lyrics of the celebrated Spanish singer-songwriter Joaquín Sabina. Often called "the Spanish Dylan," Sabina has established his own highly poetic space over the course of his forty-plus years as a recording artist. Using selected song lyrics from his fifteen studio and three major live albums, Daniel J. Nappo analyzes Sabina's use of antithesis, simile, metaphor, synesthesia, rhyme, and other rhetorical and poetic devices. Nappo also devotes a chapter to Sabina's ability as a narrator and concludes the book with a comparison of Sabina's best work with that of the American singer-songwriter and Nobel laureate, Bob Dylan.
Toward a Cultural Archive of la Movida revisits the cultural and social milieu in which laMovida, an explosion of artistic production in the late 1970s and early 1980s, was articulated discursively, aesthetically, socially, and politically. We connect this experience with a broader national and international context that takes it beyond the city of Madrid and outside the borders of Spain. This collection of essays links the political and social undertakings of this cultural period with youth movements in Spain and other international counter-cultural or underground movements. Moving away from biographical experiences or the identification of further participants and works that belong to laMo...

La obra, tanto literaria como plástica, del poeta salmantino Aníbal Núñez (1944-1987), tuvo durante su vida una difusión muy reducida y se situó casi sin excepción en la marginalidad, lo que provocó que su publicación y reconocimiento se produjesen tardíamente. El problema de la heterogeneidad estética de la obra de Aníbal Núñez, su constante y frenética evolución estética, así como su ausencia de los centros culturales españoles, además de los aspectos más sombríos de su biografía y su gusto por situarse en lugares fronterizos, son los motivos por los que no se le prestó la suficiente atención. Sin embargo, la originalidad y la belleza de su obra poética, así como...
Cada año se publican, sólo en España, varios centenares de libros sobre distintos aspectos de la Historia de la Comunicación, sean el cine, la prensa, la televisión, la fotografía, la radio, el comic, la propaganda o la publicidad, incluso el vídeo, internet, el cartel o la música de consumo. Esta obra es una reflexión crítica sobre cómo se ha venido haciendo la historia de la Comunicación, su ubicación en la historia general y los problemas específicos que presenta su estudio y muestra como lo que en sus inicios fue entretenimiento o crónica se ha convertido en nuestros días en disciplina científica. A una perspectiva general, con mirada que abarca los principales países de nuestro entorno, se une el estudio pormenorizado de cada uno de los componentes de esa amplia historia de los medios de comunicación. Una generosa bibliografía, con las obras básicas en cada uno de ellos, complementa un estudio ambicioso con escasos precedentes.
Made in Spain: Studies in Popular Music will serve as a comprehensive and rigorous introduction to the history, sociology and musicology of 20th century Spanish popular music. The volume will consist of 16 essays by leading scholars of Spanish music and will cover the major figures, styles and social contexts of pop music in Spain. Although all the contributors are Spanish, the essays will be expressly written for an international English-speaking audience. No knowledge of Spanish music or culture will be assumed. Each section will feature a brief introduction by the volume editors, while each essay will provide adequate context so readers understand why the figure or genre under discussion is of lasting significance to Spanish popular music. The book first presents a general description of the history and background of popular music, followed by essays organized into thematic sections.
