This book analyzes the formation of a mass anarchist movement in Spain over the turn of the twentieth century. In this period, the movement was transformed from a dislocated collection of groups and individuals into the largest organized body of anarchists in world history: the anarcho-syndicalist National Confederation of Labour (Confederación Nacional del Trabajo: CNT). At the same time, anarchist cultural practices became ingrained in localities across the whole of Spain, laying foundations which maintained the movement’s popular support until the end of the Spanish Civil War in 1939. The book shows that grassroots print culture was central to these developments: driving the developmen...
The Hispanic and Anglo worlds are often portrayed as the Cain and Abel of Western culture, antagonistic and alien to each other. This book challenges such view with a new critical conceptual framework – the ‘Hispanic-Anglosphere’ – to open a window into the often surprising interactions of individuals, transnational networks and global communities that, it argues, made of the British Isles (England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) a crucial hub for the global Hispanic world, a launching-pad and a bridge between Spanish Europe, Africa, America and Asia in the late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries. Perhaps not unlike today, that was a time ...
Explores the contributions of three female free-thinkers to the development of feminist consciousness and democracy, examining their lives and works to discover their contributions to the Generation of 1898 in Spain.
Al hablar de "vanguardias artisticas", o "vanguardias historicas", no es extrano el empleo del adjetivo calificativo "anarquico" que, a veces ambiguamente, alude a cierta atmosfera rupturista en el primer tercio del siglo XX. En el caso espanol esta situacion remite a la coexistencia, durante la Segunda Republica (1931–1939), de ismos esteticos muy politizados y un importante movimiento anarquista. Donde convergen o se distancian el vanguardismo de galerias, pabellones o revistas y las acciones revolucionarias de la Confederacion Nacional del Trabajo (CNT)? Hasta que punto las practicas del obrerismo libertario se corresponden con el teatro experimental de Garcia Lorca, el cine de Luis Bun...

Die Ehe stellt das Sozialmodell par excellence der bürgerlichen Moderne dar. Mit der Integration von Liebe, Freundschaft und Sexualität schafft sie den Brückenschlag zwischen Privatheit und Öffentlichkeit. Doch so prädestiniert sie hinsichtlich der Absorption der politischen, wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Bedingungen und Bedürfnisse der bürgerlichen Moderne scheint, so sehr steht sie auch in der Kritik. Die Beiträger*innen nehmen diskursive Infragestellungen der Ehe in kulturellen Artefakten der Romania von 1870 bis 1930 in den Blick und analysieren sie aus kultur- und literaturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive.
