Regarding the Popular
Regarding the Popular charts the complex relationship between the avant-gardes and modernisms on the one hand and popular culture on the other. Covering (neo-)avant-gardists and modernists from various European countries, this second volume in the series European Avant-Garde and Modernism Studies explores the nature of so-called “low” culture, dealing with aspects as diverse as the everyday and the folkloric. Regarding the Popular charts the many ways in which the allegedly “high” modernists and avant-gardists looked at and represented the “low”. As such, this book will appeal to all those with an interest in the dynamic of modern experimental arts and literatures.
Reflections through the Convex Mirror of Time / Reflexiones tras el Espejo Convexo del Tiempo
In this poignant bilingual collection, preeminent New Mexican poet E. A. “Tony” Mares posthumously shares his passionate journey into the broken heart and glimmering shadows of the Spanish Civil War, whose shock waves still resonate with the political upheavals of our own times. Mares engages in dialogue with heroes and demons, anarchists and cardinals, and beggars and poets. He takes us through the convex mirror of history to the blood-stained streets of Madrid, Guernica, and Barcelona. He interrogates the assassins of Federico García Lorca for their crimes against poetry and humanity. Throughout the collection the narrator is participant and commentator, and his language is both lyrical and direct. In addition to Mares’s parallel Spanish and English poems, the book includes a prologue by Enrique Lamadrid, an introduction by Fernando Martín Pescador, and an epilogue by Susana Rivera. Lovingly shepherded and completed by friends and family, this book will appeal to Mares enthusiasts and readers interested in poetry and history, who will be glad to have this unexpected gift from a master’s voice.
Surveying the Avant-Garde
Surveying the Avant-Garde examines the art and literature of the Americas in the early twentieth century through the lens of the questionnaire, a genre as central as the manifesto to the history of the avant-garde. Questions such as “How do you imagine Latin America?” and “What should American art be?” issued by avant-garde magazines like Imán, a Latin American periodical based in Paris, and Cuba’s Revista de Avance demonstrate how editors, writers, and readers all grappled with the concept of “America,” particularly in relationship to Europe, and how the questionnaire became a structuring device for reflecting on their national and aesthetic identities in print. Through an an...
Literatura española contemporánea (1898-1950)
Esta edición rescata una de las realizaciones más ambiciosas del exilio republicano y, por extensión, de la España de posguerra. Publicada en La Habana, en 1952. La obra no puede comprenderse en su total significación sin atender al compromiso socio-político que representa así como al método que aplica, que no son otros, en primer lugar, que la concreción de una crítica militante y, en segundo, la coherente conjunción de la Estilística y los principios de la doctrina marxista.
Les mythes des avant-gardes
Dans leur quête d'un art radicalement neuf, les avant-gardes ont souvent prétendu au refus du mythe. Elles ont cependant maintenu une relation paradoxale avec lui. Ce qu'elles ont le mieux réussi à capter, du mythe, c'est son historicité, son métissage constant des traditions, sa capacité à exprimer un but impossible à atteindre.

Avant-Garde Cultural Practices in Spain (1914-1936)
This book offers a critical reinterpretation of the Spanish avant-garde, focusing on narrative, transculturality, and intermediality. Narrative, because it prioritizes the analysis of prose over poetry, against the traditional use of critical literature on the subject up to this point. Transculturality, because the Spanish avant-garde simply cannot be understood without the acknowledgement of its multi-linguistic reality and the transnational scope of the experience of Modernism in Europe – of which Spain was an integral yet underexposed component. And intermediality, because the interrelations of painting, photography, film, and literature articulate a correlation and mutual affect among different media, creating a rich cultural tapestry that needs to be addressed. Contributors: Rosa Berland, Jennifer Duprey, Marcos Eymar, Regina Galasso, Eduardo Gregori, Juan Herrero-Senés, John McCulloch, Andrés Pérez-Simón, Lynn Purkey, Domingo Ródenas de Moya, Evelyn Scaramella and Antonio Sáez Delgado.
DE MUSAS, AEROPLANOS Y TRINCHERAS (POESÍA ESPAÑOLA CONTEMPORÁNEA)
De musas, aeroplanos y trincheras reúne veinte estudios sobre poesía y poetas españoles contemporáneos de los últimos cien años, desde el influjo de Juan Ramón Jiménez y Antonio Machado en los jóvenes poetas del 27 hasta el último libro de Lorenzo Oliván, Nocturno casi (2014). Responden a enfoques diversos: histórico unos, de carácter transversal (un tema, una tendencia estética o una característica de la época) otros. Algunos analizan una trayectoria o una obra individuales. En otras ocasiones, en fin, tratan del contexto condicionante del hecho poético. Pero todos responden a una identidad metodológica sustentada en algunas convicciones complementarias: la necesidad del rigor investigador en la búsqueda concienzuda y el contraste de los datos, el respeto del análisis textual al sentido literal y la necesidad de una exposición coherente y fluida que facilite el acceso del lector a la comprensión y al disfrute de la poesía.
