Changes, Conflicts and Ideologies in Contemporary Hispanic Culture
This book is formed by various chapters studying the manner in which conflicts, changes and ideologies appear in contemporary Hispanic discourses. The contributions analyze a wide variety of topics related to the manner in which ideological and epistemological changes of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries are reflected in, and shape, Spanish language, literature, and other cultural expressions in both Spain and Latin America. The 19th century was conducive to various movements of independence, while, in Europe, radical changes of different types and in all contexts of life and knowledge occurred. Language was certainly affected by these changes resulting in new terminology and discourse strat...

Rethinking Democracy
For years, intellectuals have argued that, with the triumph of capitalist, liberal democracy, the Western World has reached “the end of history.” Recently, however, there has been a rise of authoritarian politics in many countries. Concepts of post-democracy, anti-politics, and the like are gaining currency in theoretical and political debate. Now that capitalist democracies are facing seismic and systemic challenges, it becomes increasingly important to investigate not only the inherent antagonism between liberalism and the democratic process, but also socialism. Is socialism an enemy of democracy? Could socialism develop, expand, even enhance democracy? While this volume seeks a reappraisal of existing liberal democracy today, its main goal is to help lay the foundation for new visions and practices in developing a real socialist democracy. Amid the contradictions of neoliberal capitalism today, the responsibility to sort out the relationship between socialism and democracy has never been greater. No revival of socialist politics in the twenty-first century can occur without founding new democratic institutions and practices.

Sport and National Identities
While globalisation has undoubtedly occurred in many social fields, in sport the importance of ‘the nation’ has remained. This book examines the continuing but contested relevance of national identities in sport within the context of globalising forces. Including case studies from around the world, it considers the significance of sport in divided societies, former global empires and aspirational nations within federal states. Each chapter looks at sport not only as a reflection of national rivalries but also as a changing cultural tradition that facilitates the reimagining of borders, boundaries and identities. The book questions how these national, state and global identifications are ...
Anónimos
En 1937, y en medio de la Campaña del Frente Norte de la Guerra Civil española, Agustín Mañeru, un combatiente carlista, es reclutado para una misión que no tiene nada clara. Esto le lleva a cruzar las líneas enemigas e infiltrarse en un Bilbao prohibido, donde conoce a cierto personaje ambiguo que le llevará a una situación confusa. Pronto se verá envuelto en una historia de espionaje y negociaciones ocultas que trascienden su conocimiento. Ochenta años después, en su lecho de muerte, entrega a su nieto, Julián, una pista: la pista clave de su historia. El joven decide viajar al norte de España en busca de alguna respuesta a las cuestiones que siempre le han obsesionado. Al final, lo que parecía un sencillo viaje introspectivo se transforma en un encuentro sorprendente.
