Histories, Cultures, and National Identities
Issues around national identities have been central in Hispanism in recent years. However, scholarship remains pending on women's contributions to Spanish national agendas. This book addresses the visions of history, culture, and national identity articulated by Rosario de Acuna (1851-1923), angela Figuera (1902-1984), and Rosa Chacel (1898-1994). Their works elucidate the contested formation of Spanish democracy and the gendered politics of culture. Types of liberalism in late nineteenth-century Spain are debated in Acuna's theater and essays in part 1. Figuera's poetry, the focus of part 2, highlights the notion of history as trauma resulting from the Spanish Civil War and Franco dictatorship, to privilege the recovery of historical memory. Part 3 explores Chacel's re-invention, in Barrio de Maravillas and Acropolis, of the liberal cultures of early twentieth-century Spain, from within a post-Franco era eager to reclaim those histories. The conclusion addresses the relevance of the writers' projects for present-day Spain. Christine Arkinstall is Associate Professor in Spanish at The University of Auckland.
The Feminist Encyclopedia of Spanish Literature: A-M
"Spanish literature includes some of the world's greatest works and authors. It is also one of the most widely studied. This reference looks at the literature of Spain from the perspective of women's studies. Though the volume focuses on the literature of Spain written in Castilian, it also includes survey entries on the present state of women's literature in Catalan, Galician, and Basque. Included are hundreds of alphabetically arranged entries for numerous topics related to Spanish literature, including literary periods and genres, significant characters and character types, major authors and works, and various specialized topics. Each entry discusses how the topic relates to women's studies. Entries for male authors discuss their attitudes toward women. Female writers are considered for the restrictive cultural contexts in which they wrote. Specific works are examined for their representations of female characters and their handling of women's issues. Each entry is written by an expert contributor and closes with a brief bibliography. The volume concludes with a list of works for further reading."--Back cover.
Rosa Chacel
La autora de este estudio en dos volumenes repasa desde una perspectiva psicologica las obras de rosa chacel, apuntando simbolos y lenguajes comunes entre ellas: La tendencia de los personajes a buscar rituales propios de la identidad de la mujer, la busqueda de un lenguaje que se corresponda con la naturaleza femenina, asi como los simbolos sexuales y las imagenes primitivas esparcidas por sus novelas.
María Zambrano, 1904-1991
Catálogo de la exposición organizada por la Residencia de Estudiantes el Ministerio de Cultura, la Fundación María Zambrano y la Sociedad Estatal de Conmemoraciones Culturales y dedicada a la figura de María Zambrano en el año de su centenario. El volumen aspira a convertirse en obra de referencia para quienes deseen adentrarse en el multiforme y luminoso mundo de la filósofa malagueña y culmina la larga tarea, emprendida a principios de los años ochenta y, especialmente, tras la concesión del Premio Cervantes en 1988, de restitución del pensamiento y la obra de María Zambrano al lugar que le corresponde en la historia de la cultura española contemporánea. La monografía incluy...
