Women, Children, and the Collective Face of Conflict in Europe, 1900-1950
Europe was in turmoil during the first half of the twentieth century. The political stability that emanated from nineteenth-century political liberalism began to break down, reaching climaxes in the Great War, the Spanish Civil War, and the Second World War. Revolutions in Russia and Spain threatened parliamentary governments, and the Armenian genocide that began in 1915 foreshadowed the systematic destruction of European Jews in the 1930s and 1940s. Dictators seized power and established authoritarian regimes that stymied democratic expression and censored the press. Much of the scholarship on each of the conflicts has tended to focus on the military (male) and the civilian (female) binary....
El arte español fuera de España
En noviembre del 2002 y bajo el título de El arte español fuera de España, se celebraron en Madrid las XI Jornadas de Arte, primera convocatoria de la nueva centuria y, al mismo tiempo, undécima de la serie de un congreso que, con carácter bienal y diferentes propuestas de análisis y reflexión sobre la Historia del Arte, viene organizando el Departamento de Historia del Arte del Instituto de Historia del CSIC, desde comienzos de los pasados años ochenta. El presente volumen colectivo, en consecuencia, recoge los trabajos que se presentaron en la edición del congreso, singularizando -dado el propio tema propuesto- por la entusiasta participación extranjera.
The Politics of Revenge

Archer M. Huntington
At the turn of the twentieth century, New York City philanthropist, arts patron, and scholar Archer M. Huntington became the foremost collector and face of Spanish art in the United States with the founding of the Hispanic Society of America. This organization, which served as a bridge between artists in Spain and wealthy patrons in the States, was the culmination of a lifetime of scholarship and passion for Spanish culture for Huntington, one he would grapple with throughout his public and intellectual life. In Archer M. Huntington: Founder of the Hispanic Society of America, Patricia Fernández Lorenzo offers, for the first time in English, a complete biography of Huntington, tracing his enthusiasm for Spain and the arts from his childhood, to his marriage to sculptor Anna Hyatt and his crisis of conscience in the wake of the violence of the Spanish Civil War. Drawing heavily from Archer’s correspondence and from Anna Hyatt Huntington’s papers, housed at Syracuse University, Fernández Lorenzo offers a full, deeply human portrait of one of the great patrons of Spanish art, giving a comprehensive look at Huntington’s role in defining Hispanicism in the United States.

The Franco Regime, 1936–1975
The history of modern Spain is dominated by the figure of Francisco Franco, who presided over one of the longest authoritarian regimes of the twentieth century. Between 1936 and the end of the regime in 1975, Franco’s Spain passed through several distinct phases of political, institutional, and economic development, moving from the original semi-fascist regime of 1936–45 to become the Catholic corporatist “organic democracy” under the monarchy from 1945 to 1957. Distinguished historian Stanley G. Payne offers deep insight into the career of this complex and formidable figure and the enormous changes that shaped Spanish history during his regime.
Las Brigadas Internacionales
Las Brigadas Internacionales forman parte indisociable de nuestra memoria histórica asociada a la Guerra Civil, una memoria histórica bien distinta según de qué lado de las trincheras se estuviera, así como de la ideología y valores de los que nos hagamos partícipes los españoles y cuantos extranjeros los asuman como propios. Sobre ellas no dejan de aparecer estudios e investigaciones como los que hoy se reúnen aquí, que tienen su origen en algunas de las ponencias y comunicaciones presentadas en el Congreso Internacional del Antifascismo Combatiente, desde las Brigadas Internacionales a la “resistencia”, que tuvo lugar en Barcelona con motivo del 75.º aniversario de la creación de las Brigadas los días 27, 28 y 29 de octubre de 2011. Participaron en tal evento destacados especialistas españoles y extranjeros que abordaron la cuestión desde diversas perspectivas enriqueciendo así nuestro cocimiento de su participación en la GCE y su significación histórica.

Politics and Paintings at the Venice Biennale 1948-64
Although cultural exchanges were named within the Council of Europe in the mid- 1950's as being second only in importance to the military as a tool for ensuring a stable and integrated Western Europe in the aftermath of the Second World War, European-led initiatives have generally been overlooked in the historiography of art of the immediate post-war period. Popularly remembered as the era of the United States' cultural "triumph", American Abstract Expressionism in particular is commonly identified as the cultural "weapon" by which that nation conquered Western European culture.
