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.
Centennial Fever
Commemorations that shaped major elements of Spanish identity at the beginning of the 20th century are full of centennials and anniversaries that elaborate and renew the Spanish national mythology. In Centennial Fever Javier Moreno-Luzón, one of the most prominent Spanish historians of his generation, studies the milestones that defined transnational dimensions of celebration at the beginning of the 20th century including the Peninsular War, the first Spanish Constitution, the independence of Latin American States, the “discovery” of the Pacific Ocean and the death of Miguel de Cervantes and the publication of Don Quixote of La Mancha. Through these truly global events, a cultural community is created, called “Hispanoamerica” or “La Raza”, on which Spanish nationalism has become dependent.
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...
Otherness and National Identity in 19th-Century Spanish Literature
A comprehensive exploration of the several subaltern types and social groups that were placed at the margins of national narratives in Spain during the nineteenth century. Una mirada profunda a los diversos tipos y grupos sociales que fueron relegados a los márgenes del relato nacional en la España decimonónica.
A New Companion to Hispanic Mysticism
The canon of Hispanic mysticism is expanding. No longer is our picture of this special brand of early modern devotional practice limited to a handful of venerable saints. Instead, we recognize a wide range of marginal figures as practitioners of mysticism, broadly defined. Neither do we limit the study of mysticism necessarily to the Christian religion, nor even to the realm of literature. Representations of mysticism are also found in the visual, plastic and musical arts. The terminology and theoretical framework of mysticism permeate early modern Hispanic cultures. Paradoxically, by taking a more inclusive approach to studying mysticism in its marginal manifestations, we draw mysticism---in all its complex iterations---back toward its rightful place at the center of early modern spiritual experience. Contributors: Colin Thompson, Alastair Hamilton, Christina Lee, Clara Herrera, Darcy Donahue, Elena del Rio Parra, Evelyn Toft, Fernando Duran Lopez, Piancisco Morales, Freddy Dominguez, Glyn Redworth, Jane Ackerman, Jessica Boon, Jose Adriano de Freitas Carvalho, Luce Lopez-Barat, Maria Mercedes Carrion, Maryrica Lottman, and Tess Knighton.

Isabel II y la mujer en el siglo XIX
La subida al trono de Isabel II supuso la iniciación de signos de avance, como la implantación del ferrocarril o la incipiente revolución industrial en algunos territorios. Siguiendo la estela de la Reina, la mujer relegada hasta entonces a la esfera privada, al cuidado del hogar y de los hijos, trasciende a la esfera pública iniciando una tímida incursión en el ámbito político, en el cultural y en el trabajo fabril. Este libro pretende analizar los claroscuros de la segunda mitad del XIX así, el acercamiento a los diversos aspectos históricos, económicos, sociales, políticos, biográficos y artísticos nos permitirá tener una nueva visión en torno a ciertos aspectos esenciales acerca de la figura de la Reina Isabel II y al papel de la mujer en este período. Esta obra es una ayuda para todos los profesores que imparten Historia o Historia del Arte en ESO, Bachillerato, Enseñanzas Artísticas o Módulos de Ciclos Formativos relacionados con estas materias.
Formar hombres de bien
El siglo XIX dio cuenta de los progresos, también de los fracasos, de la implantación de una educación pública nacional. Este estudio utiliza, con acierto, el único método válido para ir más allá de las bondades del pensamiento pedagógico y de los buenos propósitos legales, realizando un minucioso estudio evolutivo de la implantación de la red educativa en El Puerto de Santa María.
Modernas, cultas y profesionales
El libro es un reconocimiento textual y visual de la presencia y relevancia de las mujeres académicas de la Universidad de Zaragoza, cuyo distrito universitario comprendía las provincias de Zaragoza, Huesca, Teruel, Logroño, Soria y Navarra. Capítulo a capítulo, traza biografías personales o colectivas de las tituladas en Derecho, Filosofía, Ciencias, Medicina, Magisterio, Enfermería, Matronas, Practicantas, y Terapia Ocupacional. Las trayectorias profesionales analizadas muestran dos grandes modelos: cultas amas de casa, esposas y madres de familia o modernas profesionales diseminadas por toda España y fuera de ella. Historiográficamente considerado, este libro es un buen modelo para otras instituciones, puesto que la Universidad de Zaragoza es la primera en ofrecer su genealogía femenina.
