Women on War in Spain’s Long Nineteenth Century
The ways in which women have historically authorized themselves to write on war has blurred conventionally gendered lines, intertwining the personal with the political. Women on War in Spain’s Long Nineteenth Century explores, through feminist lenses, the cultural representations of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Spanish women’s texts on war. Reshaping the current knowledge and understanding of key female authors in Spain’s fin de siècle, this book examines works by notable writers – including Rosario de Acuña, Blanca de los Rios, Concepción Arenal, and Carmen de Burgos – as they engage with the War of Independence, the Third Carlist War, Spain’s colonial wars, a...
Sacred Realism
In this thoughtful and compelling book, leading Spanish literature scholar Noël Valis re-examines the role of Catholicism in the modern Spanish novel. While other studies of fiction and faith have focused largely on religious themes, Sacred Realism views the religious impulse as a crisis of modernity: a fundamental catalyst in the creative and moral development of Spanish narrative.
Unsettling Colonialism
Unsettling Colonialism illuminates the interplay of race and gender in a range of fin-de-siècle Spanish narratives of empire and colonialism, including literary fictions, travel narratives, political treatises, medical discourse, and the visual arts, across the global Hispanic world. By focusing on texts by and about women and foregrounding Spain's pivotal role in the colonization of the Americas, Africa, and Asia, this book not only breaks new ground in Iberian literary and cultural studies but also significantly broadens the scope of recent debates in postcolonial feminist theory to account for the Spanish empire and its (former) colonies. Organized into three sections: colonialism and women's migrations; race, performance, and colonial ideologies; and gender and colonialism in literary and political debates, Unsettling Colonialism brings together the work of nine scholars. Given its interdisciplinary approach and accessible style, the book will appeal to both specialists in nineteenth-century Iberian and Latin American studies and a broader audience of scholars in gender, cultural, transatlantic, transpacific, postcolonial, and empire studies.
Transnational Modernity in Southern Europe
This book explores women’s editorial and salon activities in Southern Europe and provides a comparative view of their practices. It argues that women in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece used their double role as editors and salonnières to engage with foreign cultures, launch the careers of promising young authors and advocate for modernization and social change. By examining a neglected body of periodicals edited between 1860 and 1920, this book sets out to explore women’s editorial agendas and their interest in creating a connection between salon life and the print press. What purpose did this connection serve? How did women editors use their periodicals and their salons to create opp...
Challenges to Legal Theory

The volume is based on a collection of essays, published in Spanish, in honour of Professor José Iturmendi Morales, of Complutense University, Madrid, and brings the rich scholarship of pre-eminent Spanish scholars of law and legal theory to an international audience.
El republicanismo en el espacio ibérico contemporáneo
La historia de la democracia en el espacio ibérico es inseparable de los pioneros esfuerzos del movimiento republicano por ensanchar la esfera pública y construir una sociedad de ciudadanos iguales en derechos y oportunidades. El estudio de las culturas republicanas en la historia contemporánea de Portugal y España se ha consolidado como una importante corriente de investigación en las últimas décadas. Evaluar la distancia recorrida era una tarea inaplazable que este volumen ha pretendido alcanzar. Sin embargo, esta aproximación historiográfica quedaría incompleta sin una exploración de las líneas de investigación que el republicanismo ofrece en la actualidad. Con este fin, se presentan un conjunto de trabajos que abren novedosas vías de análisis desde el marco local.
Giner de los Ríos. Poder, Estética y Pedagogía
Obsesión pedagógica, republicanismo, laicismo, visión hipercrítica de España y la sustitución de la ética por el esnobismo estético… Ese es el legado de Francisco Giner de los Ríos (1839-1915) a la izquierda española. La biografía de José María Marco es la única completa que se ha escrito del personaje y cambió de arriba abajo la idea que se tenía sobre él. Describe la estrategia política, la fundación y el desarrollo de la Institución Libre de Enseñanza, sus orígenes krausistas, así como el gran amor frustrado y la apasionada relación de Giner con sus discípulos. Giner triunfó en la creación de una vanguardia radical. ¿Salió ganando su país?
Neomarxismo
Neomarxismo pretende dar una explicación de la situación de convulsión social y política que se está viviendo no solo en algunos países de Europa sino en todo el espectro cultural de Occidente. El agrupamiento producido desde el movimiento feminista, la filosofía marxista y las denominadas minorías sexuales integradas en el colectivo LGTBI+ han dado origen a la creación de la ideología de género, cuyos principios doctrinales se han ido imponiendo en Occidente desde órganos de poder supranacionales como la ONU en todo el mundo, y más concretamente en Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea. La obra se centra en el proceso histórico de esta fusión y de su activa propagación entre la...
