Exile and Gender I
This new volume in the series Yearbook of the Research Centre for German and Austrian Exile Studies, entitled Exile and Gender: Literature and the Press, edited by Charmian Brinson and Andrea Hammel, focuses on the work of exiled women writers and journalists as well as on gendered representations in the writing of both male and female exiled writers. The contributions are in English or German. The seventeen contributions set out to both celebrate and critically examine the concepts of gender and sexuality in exile in a wide range of texts by well-known and lesser known authors, and throw light on many different aspects of gendered authorship and gendered relations. Our volume also looks at ...
Spanish Civil War and Its Memory, The
The CASB Occasional Papers is intended as a platform for the dissemination of research focused on Spanish topics carried out by young American university students. Many students come to Spain to complete their academic studies, discover the complexity of the local society and its history and, as a consequence, some of them address their academic interest in Hispanic issues in writing. In this sense, CASB Occasional Papers aims to contribute to the evolution of a new generation of “Hispanistas” from different fields and backgrounds in the very early steps of their academic careers and, at the same time, offer the results of their junior research to broader and non-specialized audiences. W...
Spanish Republicans and the Second World War
Spanish Republicans and the Second World War tells the stories of the 500,000 Spanish Republicans that fled across the Pyrenees in 1939 as Catalonia fell to Franco’s victorious army in the final weeks of the Civil War. Many of the exiles played an active part in the Second World War. Some joined the French and British armed forces and saw action in various theatres including Africa and Europe (both in 1940 and after D-Day). In August 1944, Spanish Republicans in the La Nueve Company of General Leclerc’s Deuxième Blindée were the first Allied troops into Paris during the liberation of the French capital. Those that had remained in Vichy France were active in the early days of the French...

Living Anarchism
"Magnificent."—Paul Preston, author of The Spanish Holocaust Brick maker by trade, revolutionary anarchist and historian by default; this is a study of the life of José Peirats (1908–1989) and the labor union that gave him life, the CNT. It is the biography of an individual but also of a collective agent—the working class Peirats was born into—and the affective ties of kinship, friendship, and community that cemented into a movement, the most powerful of its type in the world. Chris Ealham is the author of Anarchism and the City: Revolution and Counter-revolution in Barcelona, 1898–1937.
Fear and Progress
Utilizing hundreds of confidential documents from authorities in the Franco government, Fear and Progress: Ordinary Lives in Franco's Spain, 1939-1975 recounts the experiences of Spanish citizens who lived during the 40-year Franco dictatorship. Rejects traditional explanations of the length of Franco's power and the dictator's legacy Utilizes hundreds of confidential documents from authorities in the Franco government Provides insights into life during the Franco era: how political violence and repression were experienced; how the dictatorship exploited illusions of peace and prosperity for its own benefit; and how the regime's legacy was manipulated Reveals the Franco government's social callousness and manipulation of events
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.
Història de Sant Boi de Lluçanès
Es n'adonem o no, vivim del passat molt més del que imaginem, tot i que cal aprofitar bé el present per preparar un futur molt millor als qui vindran. Maneres de pensar i de fer, que diferencien un poble d'un altre, tenen arrels molt més fondes del que pensem. Fins n'hi ha que provenen de la prehistòria, com ara les petites variants dialectals, sobretot les fonètiques, diferents d'una comarca a l'altra i, a vegades, fins d'un poble a l'altre, pel fet d'haver estat territori de tribus històriques diferents. Però no hem d'anar pas tan enllà: les facècies i canvis de jurisdicció en l'edat mitjana van ser l'origen dels actuals límits parroquials primer, i dels nostres municipis, després. [...] Conèixer el que hem estat és imprescindible per conèixer a fons el que som i el que volem i hauríem d'esdevenir.
Maquis en el Alto Aragón
Maquis en el Alto Aragón. La guerrilla en los Pirineos Centrales (1944-1949) es unviaje transversal a la resistencia armada antifascista entre el verano de 1944 y el otoño de 1949 que pivota sobre un erudito y exuberante trabajo del movimiento guerrillero en el Aragón septentrional: su historia, su geografía, rutas, bases, enlaces, sucesos.
Metges i medicina d'Occitània
La relació entre la medicina catalana i occitana té un origen bastant comú a l’edat mitjana. Aleshores fou molt intensa i després, separades per la política que fa la història, ha estat intermitent. Hi hagué períodes de gran separació i desconeixement, i d’altres amb esforços de proximitat. El setè centenari de la mort d’Arnau de Vilanova, que s’ha escaigut l’any 2011, indueix, gairebé obliga, a un record d’aquesta activitat comuna que Arnau, metge dels reis d’Aragó a Barcelona, metge de papes a Avinyó i professor a Montpeller, simbolitza més bé que cap altre. El fet que des de l’Estatut de 2006, l’occità, en la seva forma aranesa, sigui llengua oficial a C...
