Transatlantic Battles
How did overseas Europeans participate in the two world wars’ effort? Which were the tensions around mobilization? How did the war affect their identity and their descendants? What were their mobilization’s effects on the relationship with the adopted homelands? These closely intertwined issues connect to the central argument of the book: war exerted a crucial influence on the configuration – and reconfiguration – of those European communities’ national or ethnic identities and made evident their transnational nature. Through different case studies, this volume approached the multi-faceted, complex, and fluid nature of immigrant collective identities under the pressures and challenges of total wars. Contributors are: Juan Pablo Artinian, Juan Luis Carrellán Ruiz, Hernán M. Díaz, Norman Fraser Brown, Marcelo Huernos, Milagros Martínez-Flener, Norman Fraser Brown, Germán C. Friedmann, María Inés Tato, and Stefan Rinke. Transatlantic Battles: European Immigrant Communities in South America and the World Wars is now available in paperback for individual customers.

The Soul of the Nation
Religion and politics have historically clashed in modern Spain but the complexity of the controversial and sometimes violent relationships between Catholic values and modern political regimes continue to ride a precarious line of spiritual accommodation versus public policy. Leading experts on religious Spanish tradition and recent historiographic findings set out to define and interrogate grey areas in the last two centuries beyond the reductive conventional notion of an ever-warring "Two Spains." The Soul of the Nation unravels the role of religion in the country's public life following the imperial crisis of 1808 when the Catholic Monarchy put the role of the Church at heart of political and cultural debates.
Edición universitaria. Cuestión de estilo
Se ha dicho mucho sobre libros, editores y ediciones, pero muy poco sobre edición universitaria. En esta obra se aclaran las diferencias y se aprecian las semejanzas. Adicionalmente, se abordan temas interesantes, pero menos habituales, como las encuadernaciones históricas y artísticas o cuestiones cruciales presentadas desde una perspectiva eminentemente práctica: cuáles son los derechos y los deberes de autores y editores; si las obras se ponen en abierto o no, si las investigaciones deben ubicarse en repositorios, de acuerdo con la ley de la Ciencia o si se puede optar por no hacerlo... Junto a todo ello, el lector puede encontrar respuestas a interrogantes o dudas que con tanta frec...
Estudios y ensayos de literatura hispánica de los Siglos de Oro
La importancia y significación de los estudios y ensayos de Antonio Rodríguez-Moñino siguen teniendo una importancia capital en el panorama actual de la literatura hispánica de los Siglos de Oro. Se reúnen en este libro cinco de sus trabajos más valiosos, que representaron una aportación de primer orden en la crítica literaria y bibliográfica sobre la cultura áurea española. La noticia y la edición de un manuscrito inédito delAmadís de Gaula (1957), cambió radicalmente la historia literaria del texto; su famosísima conferencia sobre la Construcción crítica y realidad histórica en la poesía española del los siglos XVI y XVII (1965), revolucionó los estudios sobre las tra...
El gato y su cubanía: José Agustín Goytisolo, embajador de la poesía cubana en la España del tardofranquismo
Es posible que estemos familiarizados con los estudios en torno a la poesía del escritor catalán José Agustín Goytisolo (1928-1999), así como de su generación del cincuenta; que sepamos de su posicionamiento político como intelectual de izquierdas y de su compromiso con diferentes causas sociales y políticas, situación que plasmó no solo en su activismo sino también en sus letras. No obstante, ¿cuánto ignoramos de su interés por América latina, su historia y sus letras; y particularmente de su relación con la Cuba revolucionaria y su poesía?, ¿cuánto desconocemos de la relación intelectual y editorial-profesional que tuvo con diferentes figuras; así como de sus labores d...
Spain and the Wider World since 2000
This book offers the first comprehensive study of Spanish foreign policy since 2000. Based on privileged access to some of Spain’s most important foreign policy actors – including Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and Foreign Minister Miguel Ángel Moratinos – the book offers an insider account of how Spanish foreign policy was shaped within the context of international diplomacy.

The volume considers the changes on the international stage since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, showing how regional conflicts and tensions affected the policy ag...
Soldados de la fe o amantes del progreso: Catolicismo y modernidad en Vizcaya (1890-1923)
Pocos lugares comunes están tan asentados en la narración del pasado vasco como la enorme trascendencia del catolicismo en los siglos XIX y XX. Sin embargo, el conocimiento de la evolución del hecho religioso a lo largo de la contemporaneidad sigue siendo bastante precario. Este libro intenta llenar este vacío analizando el enfrentamiento impulsado por las desavenencias entre el clericalismo y el anticlericalismo entre los años 1890 y 1923 en una Vizcaya que se estaba transformando a un ritmo acelerado. Soldados de la fe o amantes del progreso pretende reivindicar la complejidad historiográfica contra las interpretaciones reduccionistas que ahogan la pluralidad.
Researching Newsreels
This volume addresses the underscrutinised topic of cinema newsreels. These short, multi-themed newsfilms, usually accompanied by explanatory intertitles or voiceovers, were a central part of the filmgoing experience around the world from 1910 through the late 1960s, and in many cases even later. As the only source of moving image news available before the widespread advent of television, newsreels are important social documents, recording what the general public was told and shown about the events and personalities of the day. Often disregarded as quirky or trivial, they were heavily utilised as propaganda vehicles, offering insights into the socio-political norms reflected in cinema during the first half of the twentieth century. The book presents a range of current research being undertaken in newsreel studies internationally and makes a case for a reconsideration of the importance of newsreels in the wider landscape of film history.
Marian Devotions, Political Mobilization, and Nationalism in Europe and America
This volume examines the changing role of Marian devotion in politics, public life, and popular culture in Western Europe and America during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The book brings together, for the first time, studies on Marian devotions across the Atlantic, tracing their role as a rallying point to fight secularization, adversarial ideologies, and rival religions. This transnational approach illuminates the deep transformations of devotional cultures across the world. Catholics adopted modern means and new types of religious expression to foster mass devotions that epitomized the catholic essence of the “nation.” In many ways, the development of Marian devotions across the world is also a response to the questioning of Pope Sovereignty. These devotional transformations followed an Ultramontane pattern inspired not only by Rome but also by other successful models approved by the Vatican such as Lourdes. Collectively, they shed new light on the process of globalization and centralization of Catholicism.
