Memory, Subjectivities, and Representation
This collection presents diverse scholarly approaches to oral narratives in the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking worlds. Eleven essays, originally written in Spanish, Portuguese, and English, coalesce around major themes that have long concerned oral historians and social scientists: collective memories of conflictive national pasts, subjectivity in re/framing social identities, and visual and performative re/presentations of identity and public memory.
The School of Salamanca: A Case of Global Knowledge Production
Over the past few decades, a growing number of studies have highlighted the importance of the ‘School of Salamanca’ for the emergence of colonial normative regimes and the formation of a language of normativity on a global scale. According to this influential account, American and Asian actors usually appear as passive recipients of normative knowledge produced in Europe. This book proposes a different perspective and shows, through a knowledge historical approach and several case studies, that the School of Salamanca has to be considered both an epistemic community and a community of practice that cannot be fixed to any individual place. Instead, the School of Salamanca encompassed a variety of different sites and actors throughout the world and thus represents a case of global knowledge production. Contributors are: Adriana Álvarez, Virginia Aspe, Marya Camacho, Natalie Cobo, Thomas Duve, José Luis Egío, Dolors Folch, Enrique González González, Lidia Lanza, Esteban Llamosas, Osvaldo R. Moutin, and Marco Toste.
Los grados de la universidad de Irache en el siglo XVIII (1701-1824)
Este libro estudia los graduados de la Universidad de benedictina de Irache durante el siglo XVIII, que mantuvo la misma tónica que la centuria anterior, aunque con una lenta disminución hasta 1751. Desde entonces hasta su extinción, los grados fueron cada vez más restringidos. El elenco de graduados aporta un número destacado de egresados, especialmente en Artes y Medicina, aunque también en Teología y Cánones y, en menor medida, en Leyes. Cada una de las fichas permite ulteriores estudios prosopográficos, especialmente de las élites de la Congregación benedictina de Valladolid, y de las diócesis de Burgos, Pamplona y Calahorra en el siglo XVIII.

Una mujer de Prahova
Dana es Una mujer de Prahova. Las difíciles relaciones familiares en un ambiente de extrema pobreza durante los estertores del régimen de Ceau ş escu provocan su huida del país y unas incursiones tempranas en la prostitución y la economía informal.

Migration in an Era of Restriction and Recession
We live in an age of global migration. The number of immigrants worldwide is large and growing. At the same time, public and political reactions against immigrants have grown in the US, the UK, Canada, and other traditional and non-traditional receiving nations. In response to this trend, this book assembles an interdisciplinary group of scholars to better understand two dimensions of contemporary immigration policy – a growing enforcement and restriction regime in receiving nations, and the subsequent effects on sending nations. It begins with three background chapters on immigration politics and policies in the United States, Europe, and Mexico. This is followed by eleven chapters about ...
