Women on War in Spain’s Long Nineteenth Century
The ways in which women have historically authorized themselves to write on war has blurred conventionally gendered lines, intertwining the personal with the political. Women on War in Spain’s Long Nineteenth Century explores, through feminist lenses, the cultural representations of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Spanish women’s texts on war. Reshaping the current knowledge and understanding of key female authors in Spain’s fin de siècle, this book examines works by notable writers – including Rosario de Acuña, Blanca de los Rios, Concepción Arenal, and Carmen de Burgos – as they engage with the War of Independence, the Third Carlist War, Spain’s colonial wars, a...
Social Alternatives in Southern Europe and Latin America
This book deals with the evolution of initiatives connected to the social and solidarity economy and their political cultures and educational implications in the south of Europe and in Latin America. Employing a comparative perspective, the contributors present 11 studies of these trajectories in Argentina, Chile, Portugal, France, Italy, Spain, and Catalonia in order to engender familiarity with social tributary practices and projects in the Latin world. As the cyclical crises of capitalism and their resulting inequalities have created proposals of reform and brought them into action, certain shared ideological influences and policies have emerged across these societies. Faced with the interpretative schemes used for the Anglo-Saxon sphere, which have been the usual reference in international research, this volume’s geographical and cultural matrix of analysis helps fill a longstanding gap in this field. The book will be of interest to scholars, educators, and students specialising in the history and political science of the social and solidarity economy sectors, as well as professionals involved in cooperatives, mutual aid societies, and associations.

Rethinking the History of Democracy in Spain
Focusing on the processes of political socialisation and democratisation that took place in Spain during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this book brings together specialists who propose the need to rethink the contemporary history of democracy in Spain to build a new narrative. To do so, the authors go down to the local level, where they are able to trace a political culture that forged the foundations of a process of political "modernization" much more complex than what conventional historiography has conveyed, even though it was not always transferred institutionally to the national level. The idea of a rural Spain that was backward, apolitical, violent and unprepared for democrac...

Vint anys de Periodisme a la Universitat de València
La implantació de la titulació de Periodisme a la Universitat de València no va ser una comesa fàcil, però un pla d’estudis innovador –fins i tot experimental– i un equip docent competent ho va fer possible amb escreix. Els estudis combinaven la tradició del periodisme de qualitat amb algunes noves tendències, com el periodisme científic i tecnològic, el periodisme digital o el periodisme d’investigació i precisió. Quant al professorat, estava integrat per acadèmics i professionals dels principals mitjans de comunicació valencians. En l’actual ecosistema comunicatiu, era tot un repte formar periodistes graduats altament professionals que, més enllà de les teories i les habilitats tècniques, entengueren la informació com un bé públic i el periodisme com un instrument imprescindible per a una democràcia deliberativa i sostenible. Aquest recull de textos constitueix una polifonia testimonial de la gran majoria del professorat que, al llarg d’aquests primers vint anys, ha fet possible aquesta interessant i engrescadora experiència de docència i formació per a periodistes.
Os desafios da pesquisa em história da comunicação: entre a historicidade e as lacunas da historiografia
Os desafios da pesquisa em História da Comunicação – compreendendo os meios e as empresas em seus diversos suportes, os personagens, os contextos, assim como os processos e as práticas de um fazer comunicativo e/ou informativo e, obviamente, as transformações que ocorrem na essência de cada prática, a partir de sua relação com a sociedade e das intervenções tecnológicas que se impõem a cada dia – revelam que de forma contumaz os investigadores se debruçam sobre temáticas históricas e sociais que podem ser localizadas no jornalismo e em outras práticas de comunicação. Foca-se em uma história do campo concentrada na história das empresas de comunicação ou de seus pe...
