Historia del feminismo
La conquista de la igualdad por las mujeres es un proceso en marcha. Ha transcurrido entre obstáculos constantes. Hoy, en los países democráticos, en gran medida se acepta la igualdad. Persisten, sin embargo, cuestiones ineludibles por solucionar, tal y como se exponen en este libro. Por eso es necesario conocer la historia de un movimiento sociopolítico tan determinante como el feminismo. La palabra "feminismo" suscita todavía bastantes recelos; hay resistencias a que las mujeres se sacudan las desigualdades impuestas por un modo patriarcal de organización social. Ahora bien, sin las aportaciones del feminismo no se puede comprender nuestro pasado ni nuestro presente. Gracias al femin...
Memoria histórica
Desde su mismo nacimiento la Historia, como la ciencia social, ha consistido en un relato selectivo de los hechos del pasado, y ese proceso de selección ha estado acompañado, necesariamente, de un componente ideológico y cultural, explícito o tácito. Es obvio que la Historia no puede registrar todos los hechos sucedidos, de la misma forma que los mapas no pueden reflejar todos los accidentes geográficos. El historiador se ve obligado a seleccionar los acontecimientos y a construir a partir de ellos uno solo de los relatos posibles. La verdad es que cada época se ve en la obligación de reescribir su propio relato del pasado, porque el pasado necesita ser revisado de manera continua, pero con todas las garantías de un riguroso método analítico y sin apriorismos ni manipulaciones elementales.
La gestión de la memoria
Recentísimos debates -políticos y profesionales- han llevado al primer plano de la actualidad qué tipo de historia enseñar, qué contenidos transmitir y qué finalidades cumplir. Este libro, escrito desde la investigación y reflexión sobre la función social de la historia de España nos explica en términos muy claros cómo se ha venido gestionado la enseñanza de la historia en la España de hoy y disecciona los diversos intentos de construir una memoria ciudadana desde la perspectiva de los nacionalismos, ya sea el españolista estatal, el catalanista, el galleguista, el andalucista... Ante las intenciones manifestadas por el gobierno de replantear los contenidos de las Humanidades y especialmente el de la enseñanza de la historia, los autores propugnan la superación de una vez por todas de la pugna interminable de los nacionalismos para abrir nuevos horizontes que liguen la enseñanza de la historia de España a las auténticas necesidades de los hombres y mujeres del siglo XXI.
Crosses of Memory and Oblivion
This book explores the history and legacy of monuments to the fallen from the Francoist side in the Spanish Civil War. Del Arco Blanco studies thousands of monuments in towns and cities across Spain to provide a detailed account of the history and memory of the civil war, Francoism, and the transition to democracy. Chapters in the book focus on the myth of those said to have 'fallen for God and for Spain'—a phrase that encapsulated and shaped the dichotomy between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ Spaniards. They also focus on the use of monuments to control political and ideological ideals and to legitimise the Francoist dictatorship. Further chapters study Spanish society’s struggle to deal wit...
Madrid's Forgotten Avant-Garde
This book explores the role played by artists and intellectuals who constructed and disseminated various competing images of national identity which polarized Spanish society prior to the Civil War. The convergence of modern and essentialist discourses and practices, especially in literature and poetry, in what is conventionally called in Spanish letters "The Generation of '27", created fissures between competing views of aesthetics and ideology that cut across political affiliation. Silvina Schammah exposes the paradoxes facing Madrid's cultural vanguards, as they were torn by their ambition for universality, cosmopolitanism and transcendence on the one hand and by the centripetal forces of nationalistic ideologies on the other. Taking upon themselves roles to become the disseminators and populizers of radical positions and world-views first elaborated and conducted by the young urban intelligentsia, their proposed aim of incorporating diverse identities embedded in different cultural constructions and discourse was to have very real and tragic consequences as political and intellectual lines polarized in the years prior to the Spanish Civil War.
The Divine Charter
Although Mexico began its national life in the 1821 as one of the most liberal democracies in the world, it ended the century with an authoritarian regime. Examining this defining process, distinguished historians focus on the evolution of Mexican liberalism from the perspectives of politics, the military, the Church, and the economy. Based on extensive archival research, the chapters demonstrate that--despite widely held assumptions--liberalism was not an alien ideology unsuited to Mexico's traditional, conservative, and multiethnic society. On the contrary, liberalism in New Spain arose from Hispanic culture, which drew upon a shared European tradition reaching back to ancient Greece. This...
Painting and the Turn to Cultural Modernity in Spain
Cultural modernity has habitually been defined as a focus on the means of representation themselves, as opposed to art that imitates external reality or expresses its maker's inner life. The crucial moment is usually considered the emergence of Edouard Manet in mid-nineteenth-century France, and the features of French developments have been seen as defining terms in the theory of modernity. However, recent art and cultural history have often spoken of plural modernities, distinct from the pattern set in France. For the first time, this study in cultural history explores how Spanish culture took a radical turn toward the medium of representation itself in the 1850s and early 1860s. It argues that this happened in a way that is critically at odds with many fundamental theoretical suppositions about modernity.
Apologia and Criticism
This book is the first modern overview of the history of historiography in Spain. It covers sources from Juan de Mariana's History of Spain, written at the end of the sixteenth century, up to current historical writings and their context. The main objective of the book is to shed light on the continuities and breaks in the ways that Spanish historians represented ideas of Spain. The concept of historiography used is wide enough to span not only academic works and institutions but also public uses of history, including the history taught in schools. The methodology employed by the author combines the tradition of studies of national identity with those of historiography. One of the key themes in the book is the role of the historical profession in Spain and its influence on national discourse from the nineteenth century onwards.
