L'Espagne contemporaine et la question juive
La 4e de couv. indique : "Après plusieurs siècles d'oubli consécutifs à l'expulsion des juifs d'Espagne, ce pays a redécouvert, voici quelque cent cinquante ans, la diaspora judéo-espagnole et le lien historique avec les descendants des exilés de 1492. Rencontres et évitements ; nostalgie envers une culture survivant hors des frontières et visées néo-coloniales en Méditerranée ; solidarité affichée à l'égard des "Espagnols sans patrie", mais refus de rapatriements aux heures sombres des pogroms et de la Shoah : d'innombrables ambiguïtés ponctuent les étapes du rapprochement hispano-juif, jusqu'au sauvetage des juifs par Franco durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. La « ques...
L'épuisement du biographique?
Pourquoi penser le biographique? N'est-il pas épuisé? Le siècle passé semble l'avoir vidé de son contenu et de sa substance et l'a réduit à un état d'affaiblissement presque complet dans le domaine des sciences sociales comme dans celui de la critique littéraire. L'enjeu de cet ouvrage est d'affirmer que le biographique déborde la biographie et de considérer le biographique comme une condition du retour de la biographie au moyen de son dépassement. Cet ouvrage rassemble des travaux abordant ...
An Introduction to the Politics and Philosophy of José Ortega Y Gasset
This book provides a general survey of the life and work of the Spanish philosopher and essayist Ortega y Gasset (1183-1955), author of the widely read The Revolt of the Masses. Dr Dobson divides his study into sections devoted to Ortega's political thinking and to his philosophy, rooting these in the context of contemporary Spain and discussing the wider implications of their influence. He examines Ortega's position with regard to the Civil War, his ambivalent espousal of socialism, his emphasis on the importance of the select individual in the modernisation of society and creation of a nació vital; the appropriation of his ideas by Primo de Rivera in the cause of fascism. This book is intended to be accessible to both Hispanists and general readers with an interest in literature, history, intellectual and political thought and philosophy.

La civilización de lo impreso
La prensa de información llega a ser una industria y el periodismo una profesión. Se dirigen a todo tipo de lectores a los que permiten entender el mundo moderno. También evoluciona el estatuto del libro y del escritor, con la lectura pública y la aparición de nuevas editoriales. El vínculo creado por la democratización de la expresión escrita promete otro contrato social, mientras el poder intenta también valerse de la expansión de este medio para ejercer un control político. Se afirman pues, hasta los años treinta, la dinámica, aparentemente contradictoria, de la modernidad social en la que se conjugan las nuevas fuerzas del mercado, los anhelos de una sociedad de masas y los deseos individuales de emancipación.
Propagande et culture dans l'Espagne franquiste
Mettant en lumière les rapports étroits que tisse la propagande du franquisme avec le substrat culturel sur lequel elle s'appuie, cet ouvrage montre comment un certain nombre de mythes et de notions appartenant à un fonds culturel commun sont instrumentalisés au service de la justification du régime.
Prizefighting and Civilization
In Prizefighting and Civilization: A Cultural History of Boxing, Race, and Masculinity in Mexico and Cuba, 1840-1940, historian David C. LaFevor traces the history of pugilism in Mexico and Cuba from its controversial beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century through its exponential rise in popularity during the early twentieth century. A divisive subculture that was both a profitable blood sport and a contentious public spectacle, boxing provides a unique vantage point from which LaFevor examines the deeper historical evolution of national identity, everyday normative concepts of masculinity and race, and an expanding and democratizing public sphere in both Mexico and Cuba, the United States' closest Latin American neighbors. Prizefighting and Civilization explores the processes by which boxing--once considered an outlandish purveyor of low culture--evolved into a nationalized pillar of popular culture, a point of pride that transcends gender, race, and class.
Fictions of the Feminine in the Nineteenth-Century Spanish Press
How was the female body perceived in the popular culture of late nineteenth-century Spain? Using a wide array of images from popular magazines of the day, Lou Charnon-Deutsch finds that women were typically presented in ways that were reassuring to the emerging bourgeois culture. Charnon-Deutsch organizes the 190 images reproduced in this book into six broad categories, or &"fictions of the feminine&": she reads women's bodies as a romantic symbol of beauty or evil, as a privileged link with the natural order, as a font of male inspiration, as a mouthpiece of bourgeois mores, as a focalized point of male fear and desire, and as an eroticized expression of Spanish exoticism and political ambi...
