Here And Beyond
The chapters included in this volume examine a number of modern and contemporary travel and mobility narratives produced in the different languages of Iberia, whether they offer accounts of Iberia itself or portray other geographical or human contexts. Illustrating the diversity of forms characteristic of travel writing, the texts discussed in the book feature representations of travel and mobility as presented in novels, films and other literary and cultural manifestations such as comics, plays and journalistic chronicles. Additionally, the volume incorporates a section of creative responses to the tropes of travel and mobility by contemporary Iberian authors in English translation. Thus, t...
Habitat

Gaur egun, luxuzko produktua ere bada. Hipotekak. Alokairuaren komeriak. Auzokoekin gatazkak. Feng Shuiaren esperantza.

Women in Neoliberal Postfeminist Television Drama
“In this insightful book, Cat Mahoney offers a fascinating analysis of contemporary TV dramas such as Home Fires, Land Girls and The Bletchley Circle. Developing the idea that history is told through the preoccupations of the present, she argues compellingly that these are postfeminist dramas which work through troubling ideas about heteronormative romance, domesticity, beauty and whiteness, while reinforcing the idea that feminism as a political movement is not necessary. A bold and original contribution to television studies, gender studies and popular history.” ̶ Rosalind Gill, City, University of London, UK By examining contemporary television drama set during and immediately after ...
The Politics of Being a Woman
What does it mean to be a woman in the 21st century? The feminist movement has a long and rich history, but is its time now passed? This edited collection is driven by the question, why is feminism viewed by some (we would add a majority) as outdated, no longer necessary and having achieved its goals, and what role have the media played in this?
Serial Authorship and New Directions in Spanish Female Detective Fiction
This collection of essays expands our understanding and appreciation of the body of work by established female authors of Spanish crime fiction series by analyzing recent narratives that, in some cases, contribute in novel ways to the ongoing reformulation of the genre and, in others, provide readers with a temporary hiatus from it. The studies offer students and scholars of crime fiction new perspectives on the works of well-known authors, as well as analyses of their often less-known narratives that may not fit within the genre. Readers will engage in an exploration of gender dynamics and sexuality, a variety of psychological and social issues, and the consequences of the indiscriminate consumption of media and abuse of the environment and animals in narratives that exhibit the versatility of these outstanding authors. The volume will appeal to a wide audience of literary and cultural studies critics, as well as crime fiction enthusiasts and newcomers to this popular genre.
Cinematic Digital Television
Chris Comerford explores cinematic digital television as an artistic classification and an academic object of study, and illuminates the slippage in definitions of previously understood media forms. The growth of television as an artistic, informative medium has given rise to shifts in the aesthetic style of the programmes we watch, and this book outlines these shifts along with the contemporary debates and critical theory surrounding them. Comerford looks at the forms and aesthetics of television, the production standards influencing streaming television and the agency of audiences, and provides case studies of key TV shows illustrating these shifts, including Twin Peaks: The Return, WandaVision, Hacks and Russian Doll. Navigating the levels of production and reception in cinematic digital television, the book uses film-inspired TV as a lightning rod for understanding our narrative screen media landscape and the classifications we use to negotiate it. As an essential reading for both scholars and students of media and television studies, this book provides a much-needed consideration of the changing landscape of television.
Esta herida llena de peces
Una madre y su niño viajan en canoa por el caudaloso río Atrato. La madre es blanca, el niño es negro. Entre manglares, frutas y trenzas, la narradora le va contando a la pasajera de al lado su infancia, sus recuerdos y cómo el pequeño llegó a su vida una mañana calurosa. La lancha avanza, la inquietud se acrecienta. La mujer preferiría no llegar o dar la vuelta. Esta es una historia sobre el arraigo, el miedo y la maternidad en un contexto de violencia, sobre los peligros de la selva colombiana. A través del lirismo de su prosa, Lorena Salazar Masso crea una atmósfera adictiva y nos traslada a un mundo a veces onírico y otras descarnadamente realista en el que la ternura y la belleza de las imágenes salpica.
Reverso
Reverso es un ejercicio de análisis y empoderamiento feminista colectivo. Uxue Alberdi y las quince bertsolaris entrevistadas rompen el silencio sobre la violencia de género en una cultura popular minoritaria. Tejen desde los márgenes lingüísticos y culturales una herramienta útil y transgresora para cualquier otro sector en el que se quiera promover una articulación feminista y una transformación antipatriarcal. La autora entrevista a quince bertsolaris, y apoyando esos testimonios en un marco teórico sólido —compuesto por autoras como Joanna Russ, Mary Beard, Celia Amorós, Judith Butler, Mari Luz Esteban o Pierre Bourdieu— hace una contribución fundamental: desgranar los me...
