A Taste of Barcelona
Widely associated with avant-garde gastronomy and lavish food markets, Barcelona has become a top destination for gourmands and chefs around the world, especially after the spectacular rise of chef Ferran Adrià of the famed elBulli, soon to be reborn as elBulli1846.

Toward a Cultural Archive of la Movida
Toward a Cultural Archive of la Movida revisits the cultural and social milieu in which laMovida, an explosion of artistic production in the late 1970s and early 1980s, was articulated discursively, aesthetically, socially, and politically. We connect this experience with a broader national and international context that takes it beyond the city of Madrid and outside the borders of Spain. This collection of essays links the political and social undertakings of this cultural period with youth movements in Spain and other international counter-cultural or underground movements. Moving away from biographical experiences or the identification of further participants and works that belong to laMo...
Disrupting Maize
Disrupting Maize undertakes a critical interrogation of maize, the staple food and symbol of the Mexican nation. As the centre of origin and genetic diversification of maize, the Mexican territory is regarded today as being under threat of irreversible ‘contamination’ by genetically engineered maize, an imported biotechnological product. When the first evidences of such ‘contamination’ were found in 2001, an anti-GM movement was born that quickly became articulated as a defence of cultural identity and national sovereignty. Disrupting Maize mobilizes contemporary theoretical resources in a critical examination of the cultural politics at work in the Mexican defence of maize. From such an examination ‘biotechnological disruption’ emerges provocatively as constitutive of Mexican nationalism rather than externally imposed to it by corporate players. Furthermore, it is provocatively conceptualized as a gift, that is, as the promise of a more democratic Mexico.

La crítica de arte en España (1939-1976)
El presente libro aborda el estudio de la crítica de arte en España durante la Dictadura de Franco, período en el que sufrió el proceso de reconversión que, a consecuencia del resultado de la Guerra Civil, afectó al sistema artístico español, muy apoyado a partir de entonces en la tradición y el españolismo. A lo largo de sus páginas se revisan los argumentos utilizados por la crítica, así como el papel que desempeñó en el sistema. El texto se complementa con una antología de textos.
AUTORRETRATOS DEL ESTADO III
Durante el reinado de Juan Carlos I la producción de sellos postales en España ha evolucionado tanto en aspectos técnicos como estéticos. La introducción de las tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (T.I.C.) no solo han colaborado en mejorar los sistemas de producción sino también en la casi desaparición de la vida cotidiana de este objeto. El sello postal es un artefacto gráfico que no solo constata el pago en origen de un envío sino, también, el país de su procedencia. Es en este segundo aspecto donde se centran los estudios de este tercer volumen de Autorretratos del Estado, en cómo se representa en Estado emisor a sí mismo en el periodo que abarca el reinado de Juan Carlos I, desde 1975 a 2014. En el presente volumen veremos cómo la autorrepresentación estatal sigue marcada por la conmemoración de acontecimientos, personajes, artistas, obras, monumentos que ayuden a completar la imagen que el Estado quiere mostrar tanto dentro como fuera de sus fronteras.
Del fotoconceptualismo al fototableau
Interactions between photography and performance during a chronological period ranging from the so-called “nuevos comportamientos artísticos” (Spanish conceptual art) at the beginnings of 70s, to the definitive institutionalization of the “tableau form” in the 80s, are analyzed in this research. This is a complex and not lineal trip, with particular interest in the Spanish context, since some important changes affecting political and cultural life took place during this period, conditioning the process object of the present work. The work tries to discuss those performance theories that emphasize the “liveness”, and doing so, pushed the photography into the background. By puttin...
Al-Andalus
The exciting historical novel by Howard Headworth takes us to the 1480s in Spain. For the Spaniards it is the dawn of the golden age of the country. For the moors of Al-Andalus in the south, it is the beginning of a bitter harvest. And Far west, a new world beckons..... Glorious descriptions of battles and conflicts, the horrors of the Spanish Inquisition, the tracing of historical events leading to the entrance of the Catholic monarchs in Granada in 1492, a panoply of characters, profiles of the traditions and skills of the Muslim peasants in Al-Andalus, and finally the first voyage of Christopher Columbus to the Indies, make this book a unique treasure. Howard Headworth lives in Almeria, Spain, for twenty years. He was born in Wales and studied geology at the university there and in London. He uses his great experience as a scientific director as well as his passion for the history of his adopted country in this historical novel.
