The Subversive Tradition in Spanish Renaissance Writing
"The seven texts in this cross-section of fiction and nonfiction reveal a nation at the brink of modernity, embracing revolutionary ideas and reeling in their explosive impact. The opening chapters establish the theoretical framework for Perez-Romero's analysis, describing the intellectual and social environments of medieval Spain and tracing the developments in Spanish historical and literary scholarship that point to the existence of a new path of investigation."--Jacket.
Les Beguines
Sorgit a la darreria del segle XII, el moviment de les beguines, que a Catalunya van rebre també el nom de rescluses, es va estendre per tot Europa occidental. Laiques i religioses alhora, van viure a cavall entre tots dos mons, integrant-los, sense escindir-se i sense subjectar-se a les jerarquies masculines. La seva llibertat comportà a moltes beguines, sospites, desterraments i persecucions de la Inquisició; algunes van ser cremades a la foguera acusades d’heretgia.
L'activitat femenina a Molins de Rei
Encara no ha estat reconegut de forma pública l’esforç i el treball gegantí de les dones des de la perspectiva de la vida quotidiana, des de les pràctiques de creació i recreació de la vida i de la convivència humana que les dones exerceixen habitualment i que en el període de la guerra civil van assolir unes característiques transcendentals. Aquest llibre neix del desig i la necessitat de pal·liar aquesta injustícia històrica a l’Estat espanyol i sobretot a Molins de Rei. En col·laboració amb l’Ajuntament de Molins de Rei
Per una rivoluzione degli affetti
La monogamia ha un ruolo centrale nella storia occidentale, ed è intorno a questa che si sono sviluppati concetti portanti come amore, relazioni, famiglia. Questo libro riflette proprio su come molti dei meccanismi che pensiamo legati all’amore non siano altro che forme imposte, non determinate liberamente e tuttavia intimamente radicate nella società e in ciascun individuo. Capiamo così che intorno alla monogamia si sono formati anche i nostri concetti di Stato, di nazione, di identità, tutti rapporti fondati, in scala più o meno grande, sull'esclusività, sul possesso e sulle gerarchie. Ma non è tutto: alla critica del pensiero monogamo l'autrice, con lunga esperienza nell'attivismo poliamoroso, non risparmia una profonda critica diretta proprio al poliamore: un approccio che, nella prospettiva di questo libro, non riesce ancora a evitare di riprodurre forme di pensiero monogamo. Vasallo, facendo breccia in uno dei pilastri più solidi di tutta la storia occidentale, ci mostra le possibilità di un approccio diverso per un mondo diverso, per una radicale rivoluzione nelle relazioni, che siano erotiche, familiari o comunitarie.

Legacies of Violence in Contemporary Spain
This book provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary study of the multiple legacies of Francoist violence in contemporary Spain, with a special focus on the exhumations of mass graves from the Civil War and post-war era. The various contributions frame their study within a broader reflection on the nature, function and legacies of state-sanctioned violence in its many forms. Offering perspectives from fields as varied as history, political science, literary and cultural studies, forensic and cultural anthropology, international human rights law, sociology, and art, this volume explores the multifaceted nature of a society’s reckoning with past violence. It speaks not only to those interested in contemporary Spain and Western Europe, but also to those studying issues of transitional and post-transitional justice in other national and regional contexts.
