Culpables por la literatura
Han pasado cuarenta años de las elecciones de 1977 y el mito de la transición se ha desmoronado. ¿Pero sabemos lo que ocultaba?. Este libro plantea que, entre 1968 y 1986, existió una ciudadanía luchando por una democracia real más allá del estado y los partidos y cuyas ideas, a veces, recuerdan a las del 15M. En la contracultura, política y cultura se unían radicalmente y la democracia era una nueva sensibilidad que lo afectaba todo: el amor, el trabajo, los cuerpos, el espacio público y el privado. Aquella creatividad fue reprimida y cooptada: política y cultura se dividieron e institucionalizaron mediante la Constitución de 1978 y La Movida de los ochenta. Sólo en el ámbito ...
Postgrowth Imaginaries
Postgrowth Imaginaries brings together environmental cultural studies and postgrowth economics to examine radical cultural shifts sparked by the global financial crisis. The globalization of an economic culture addicted to constant growth destroys the ecological planetary systems while failing to fulfil its social promises. A transition toward what Prádanos calls ‘postgrowth imaginaries’—the counterhegemonic cultural sensibilities that are challenging the growth paradigm—is well underway in the Iberian Peninsula today.
Lost in Transition
This book examines contemporary recollection of Spain's transition to democracy in the late 1970s and its connection to the country's current political, financial and cultural crises through fiction, film, and television.
Sex, Drugs, and Fashion in 1970s Madrid
Sex, Drugs, and Fashion in 1970s Madrid explores changes in urban planning, narratives of sexual and gender identity, recreational drug use, and fashion design during the seventies.
Inhabiting the In-Between
Although children have proliferated in Spain's cinema since its inception, nowhere are they privileged and complicated in quite the same way as in the films of the 1970s and early 1980s, a period of radical political and cultural change for the nation as it emerged from almost four decades of repressive dictatorship under the rule of General Francisco Franco. In Inhabiting the In-Between: Childhood and Cinema in Spain's Long Transition, Sarah Thomas analyses the cinematic child within this complex historical conjuncture of a nation looking back on decades of authoritarian rule and forward to an uncertain future. Examining films from several genres by four key directors of the Transition - Ca...
Poetics of Opposition in Contemporary Spain
Pairing cultural analysis in urban contexts with interdisciplinary approaches to political culture, this book argues that recent cultural production in Spain grapples with the conditions and possibilities for social transformation in dialogue with the ongoing crisis, neoliberal governance, and political culture in Spain's democratic history.
Gender, Displacement, and Cultural Networks of Galicia
This book, bringing together a multi-voiced dialogue between academic scholars and professionals from diverse fields, shares a comprehensive and heterogeneous look at the interdisciplinarity of Galician Studies while examining a chronologically broad range of subjects from the 1800s to the present. This volume carves out a distinct approach to gender studies investigating issues of culture, language, displacement, counterculture artists, and community projects as related to questions of politics, gender and class. Women, conceived as both individual and political bodies, are studied, among other things, as an example of what it means to struggle from the margins emphasizing the importance of looking at the opposition between the center and the peripheries when studying the relationship between space and culture.
Performing the Transition to Democracy
This book examines troupes, plays, festivals, performative practices, and audiences active during the final years of the Franco dictatorship and the beginning of the transition to democracy. This period, spanning 1968 to 1982, is considered the historical moment that most directly shaped contemporary Spanish politics and society. The dominant narrative of the Transition has long portrayed it as a normalized, non-confrontational, and consensual process steered by political elites. But the world of Spanish theater tells a very different story - one in which ordinary Spaniards played a vital role in the transition to democracy. The chapters of this book draw on censorship files, photographs, au...
