Disremembering the Dictatorship
Most accounts of the Spanish transition to democracy have been celebratory exercises at the service of a stabilizing rather than a critical project of far-reaching reform. As one of the essays in this volume puts it, the “pact of oblivion,” which characterized the Spanish transition to democracy, curtailed any serious attempt to address the legacies of authoritarianism that the new democracy inherited from the Franco era. As a result, those legacies pervaded public discourse even in newly created organs of opinion. As another contributor argues, the Transition was based on the erasure of memory and the invention of a new political tradition. On the other hand, memory and its etiolation h...
Aurora Bertrana
Silvia Roig explores the narrative of Aurora Bertrana (1892-1974), an unknown writer today, but a successful and recognized female author in Catalonia and Spain during the 20th century. Aurora Bertrana's works are almost never mentioned in manuals of literature. Her rich, intellectual work has not received the attention it deserves, relegated almost to absolute oblivion. The author reviews and studies twenty-four of Bertrana's novels written in Catalan and Spanish, including: Ariatea (1960), "El pomell de les violes" (MS), L'inefable Philip (MS), La aldea sin hombres (mn.), La madrecita de los cerdos (MS), Entre dos silencis (1958), La ninfa d'argila (1959), Frac s (1966) and La ciutat dels ...

Carmen and the Staging of Spain
Georges Bizet's Carmen and its staging of an exoticized Spain was progressively reimagined between its 1875 Paris premiere and 1915. This book explores Carmen's dynamic interaction with Spanishness in this cosmopolitan age of spectacle, across operatic productions, parodies, and theatrical adaptations from Spain to Paris, London, and New York.
Les exils catalans en France
Contrairement à une idée reçue, les Catalans connurent, à l'égal de leurs compatriotes de la péninsule, exodes et migrations tout au long du XIXe siècle. Cet ouvrage tente d'appréhender, au travers d'approches tant historiques que littéraires, les pratiques politiques et culturelles de l'exil catalan de 1939 en le comparant à ceux qui l'avaient précédé ou en soulignant ses spécificités.
La cultura catalana
Joan Samsó fa per primera vegada la història de la lluita silenciosa a favor de la cultura catalana duta a terme entre el 1939 i el 1951, fonamentalment a la ciutat de Barcelona. En aquest segon i darrer volum tracta de les revistes i de les editorials que continuaren, en la clandestinitat o en la tolerància sempre relativa, la vida de la cultura catalana.
