Spanish Modernism and the Poetics of Youth
In Spanish Modernism and the Poetics of Youth: From Miguel de Unamuno to La Joven Literatura, Leslie J. Harkema analyzes the literature of the modernist period in Spain in light of the emergence of youth culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Harkema argues for the prominent role played by Miguel de Unamuno--as a poet, essayist, and public figure--in Spanish writers' response to this phenomenon. She demonstrates how early twentieth-century Spanish literature participated in the glorification of adolescence and questioning of Bildung seen elsewhere in European modernism, in ways that were not only aesthetic but also political. Harkema critically re-examines the relationship between Unamuno and several Spanish writers associated with the so-called Generation of 1927 (known as at the time as "la joven literatura" or "the young literature"). By situating this period within the wider framework of European modernism, Spanish Modernism and the Poetics of Youth brings to light the central role that the early twentieth century's re-imagining of adolescence and youth played in the development of literary modernism in Spain.

Spanish Civil War and Its Memory, The
The CASB Occasional Papers is intended as a platform for the dissemination of research focused on Spanish topics carried out by young American university students. Many students come to Spain to complete their academic studies, discover the complexity of the local society and its history and, as a consequence, some of them address their academic interest in Hispanic issues in writing. In this sense, CASB Occasional Papers aims to contribute to the evolution of a new generation of “Hispanistas” from different fields and backgrounds in the very early steps of their academic careers and, at the same time, offer the results of their junior research to broader and non-specialized audiences.

Una ciutat dormitori sota el franquisme
La manca d’infrastructures, la corrupció i les pugnes pel poder al Consistori, en un temps en que el país sencer es mobilitzava contra el Dictador, donà lloc a Santa Coloma a importants lluites veïnals, rebent per això l’apel·latiu de “ciutat roja”. D’aquest i d’altres temes tracta aquest llibre.” “Santa Coloma constitueix un interessant exemple de ciutat dormitori, objecte d’estudi durant el franquisme. Va patir a la immediata postguerra el dur exili, la repressió i depuració dels seus habitants, amb execucions de personatges tant destacats com un dels seus darrers alcaldes durant la República. L’especulació urbana i el grans negocis a l’empara i complicitat dels polítics municipals, caracteritzen un llarg període que, iniciat als anys 60, amb una onada migratòria sense precedents fruit del desenvolupament de l’època, configuren una ciutat dormitori que des del punt de vista urbà, econòmic i social, presenta característiques molt particulars.
