The Age of Mass Child Removal in Spain

Forensic cultures in modern Europe
This edited volume examines the performance and role of scientific experts in modern European courts of law and police investigations. It discusses cases from criminal, civil and international law to parse the impact of forensic evidence and expertise in different European countries. The contributors show how modern forensic science and technology are inextricably entangled with political ideology, gender norms and changes in the law and legal systems. Discussing fascinating case studies, they highlight how the ideology of authoritarian and liberal regimes has affected the practical enactment of forensic expertise. They also emphasise the influence of images of masculinity and femininity on the performance of experts and on their assessment of evidence, victims and perpetrators. This book is an important contribution to our knowledge of modern European forensic practices.
Getting it Wrong in Spain
This book brings together different and interdisciplinary perspectives on the Spanish Civil War, its victims, its contentious ending, and its aftermath. In exploring the slow demise of republican ideals, contributors range over many diverse historical and cultural topics — discussing, for instance, the attitudes of both Left and Right to the poet Federico García Lorca and to his assassination, examining the documentary evidence offered in surviving memoirs of the Civil War, and assessing the major characteristics of the new order in Spain under Franco. Cinematic and literary depictions of the Civil War and its consequences are also studied. Other topics investigated include: contemporary ...
Tots a l'escola?
Tots a l'escola? és un títol que juga amb la ironia de les intencions educatives liberals de la primera meitat del segle XIX. El llibre pretén explicar els avenços en matèria educativa del XIX espanyol des de la crítica objectiva que permet la distància del temps. La lectura del text descobreix un evident esforç legal del liberalisme per implantar l'ensenyament general, crear el mitjà i reorganitzar el superior, però també palesa una limitació, perceptible en l'estudi local de Lleida a l'hora de concretar les infraestructures materials i humanes planificades. Amb tot i amb això, fou mèrit dels liberals vuitcentistes la plasmació del sistema educatiu espanyol contemporani, el qual, com s'aprecia en aquest volum, resultà del debat i l'enfrontament entre les tendències polítiques del moment. Aquest treball fou guardonat amb el XXII Premi Ferran Soldevila de Biografies i Investigacions Històriques convocat per la Fundació Congrés de Cultura Catalana.
Romance and Exemplarity in Post-war Spanish Women's Narratives
A reading of women's post-war literary representations in terms of exemplarity. The effects of General Francisco Franco's authoritarian rule (1939-1975) on the production and reception of cultural texts can be gauged by the silence that now surrounds them. This is especially true of works which enjoyed considerable popularity when first published. Most of the novels in question belong to the sentimental genre known as novela rosa, whose authors-mostly women-and heroines Academe has consistently treated as literary pariahs. This volume represents the first serious effort to question the categories used to assess the value and meaning of texts previously presumed to be devoid of both. It does ...
Disability and Tourism in Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Italy
Attention to the issue of disabilities has intensified in recent decades, prompting States and organizations to respond with appropriate measures to promote inclusion of persons with disabilities in all social environments. This book’s thesis is that the seeds of this inclusivity were planted by the development of tourism for people with disabilities in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The book explores the development of tourism for people with disabilities in Italy during this time period. It adds an important tessera to the mosaic of international literature that has rarely considered the history of tourism and the history of disabilities in a unified manner. While certainly of g...
