Culture and Power
Questions of identity and identification are among the most important evolving concerns of contemporary cultural studies. Through processes of personal identification with discursively constructed subject positions, identities emerge across a wide range of cultural practices in the course of social interactions involving the use of language and other semiotic systems manifested in cultural artefacts of various kinds. The present collection includes a selection of papers on the topic of identity and identification in cultural studies today. Incorporating theoretical contributions and practical case studies, this monograph adds to contemporary debates on identity-forging practices from various...
The Spanish Craze
The Spanish Craze is the compelling story of the centuries-long U.S. fascination with the history, literature, art, culture, and architecture of Spain. Richard L. Kagan offers a stunningly revisionist understanding of the origins of hispanidad in America, tracing its origins from the early republic to the New Deal. As Spanish power and influence waned in the Atlantic World by the eighteenth century, her rivals created the “Black Legend,” which promoted an image of Spain as a dead and lost civilization rife with innate cruelty and cultural and religious backwardness. The Black Legend and its ambivalences influenced Americans throughout the nineteenth century, reaching a high pitch in the ...

Norteamericanas con voz propia
Análisis de la vida y obra de veintiuna mujeres excepcionales de la historia de Estados Unidos llevado a cabo desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar, abierta al diálogo. Se ha pretendido profundizar y reflexionar sobre el papel que dichas mujeres han desempeñado y las distintas estrategias que han tenido que adoptar con el fin de obtener la suficiente libertad de acción y creación. Agrupadas en activistas, artistas, literatas, músicas, políticas y profesionales de la técnica y la ciencia estas mujeres provienen de muy diversos contextos socioeconómicos e ideológicos, pero tienen el coraje y la coherencia como elementos comunes. Recordar su historia implica recuperar su voz.
Mímesis O Idealización
En este estudio se analiza en que medida tanto la actitud de las heroinas de la novela inglesa del siglo XVIII (1719-1761) como sus caracteristicas y su destino final confluyen en una representacion estereotipada. Asimismo, se pretende desentranar la significacion profunda de dicha representacion dentro de la estructura ideologica y social del siglo XVIII. En este sentido se ha procurado definir el "horizonte de expectativas" de los sectores medios de la sociedad de la epoca y estudiar en que medida las obras analizadas se someten a los modelos imperantes o los modifican. Tras describir y valorar el destino final de la protagonista femenina, se reflexiona sobre la recompensa que aguarda a la heroina virtuosa (o al menos reformada), una recompensa que conlleva la asimilacion o anulacion de una personalidad potencialmente subversiva.
Norteamérica y España
Sus autores forman parte del proyecto de investigación de la Universidad Complutense sobre Historia y Cultura de los Estados Unidos y abordan su análisis desde disciplinas tan diversas como la antropología cultural, la historia política, la historia diplomática, la historia del arte, de las ideas, de la literatura e incluso de la comunicación social. A la variedad de enfoques y planteamientos se añade la diversidad de contenidos, que abarcan, cronológicamente, desde las culturas tradicionales del Pacífi co norteamericano del siglo XVIII a distintos aspectos de la presidencia de Barack H. Obama. Dicha riqueza temática se articula en torno a dos conceptos fundamentales: la percepción, que hace referencia tanto a la recepción de impresiones recogidas en una serie de testimonios personales como a la interpretación de dichas impresiones, y la relación, que implica conexión, enlace, vínculo, o comunicación entre dos espacios geográfi cos y culturales distintos y distantes pero históricamente entrelazados: América del Norte y España.
