Migrascapes: paisajes étnicos, mediáticos y de ideas
La imaginación no es equivalente a lo ilusorio, es una parte constituyente de lo social. De hecho, todos vivimos en comunidades imaginadas, y habitamos un mundo que va más allá de nuestra experiencia o conocimiento empírico. En la actualidad, la imaginación social de la realidad, como campo productivo, está marcada por la relación entre las cotidianeidades localizadas y los diversos flujos globales: financieros, ideológicos, étnicos, mediáticos y tecnológicos. Las articulaciones cambiantes e incompletas entre estos flujos han sido llamadas paisajes (scapes), una metáfora para recordarnos su dimensión percibida y construida, dinámica e interdependiente. Migrascapes, los paisajes migratorios, es una investigación colectiva que nació de nuestra preocupación por las transformaciones de distintos flujos globales durante y a partir de la pandemia de COVID-19. El presente libro recopila distintos ensayos que llaman la atención sobre algunas de las más acuciantes transformaciones en el ámbito de la imaginación política, ideológica, mediática, de representación y de gobierno.
Catharine Macaulay's Republican Enlightenment
The ‘celebrated’ Catharine Macaulay was both lauded and execrated during the eighteenth century for her republican politics and her unconventional, second marriage. This comprehensive biography in the 'life and letters' tradition situates her works in their political and social contexts and offers an unprecedented, detailed account of the content and influence of her writing, the arguments she developed in her eight-volume history of England and her other political, ethical, and educational works. Her disagreements with conservative opponents, David Hume, Edmund Burke, and Samuel Johnson are developed in detail, as is her influence on more progressive admirers such as Thomas Jefferson, J...

Seneca and Celestina
This book examines the reason and intent behind the many Senecan and pseudo-Senecan quotations in Fernando de Rojas' masterpiece Celestina (1499), which enjoyed enormous popularity in sixteenth-century Europe. The author considers the importance attached to Senecan thought in the oral, scholarly and literary traditions of fifteenth-century Spain and demonstrates how readers' tastes and sensibilities were shaped by it. The main themes of Celestina, such as self-seeking friendship and love, pleasure and sorrow, gifts and riches, greed, suicide and death, are shown to be rooted in this intellectual background. The Senecan tradition, albeit treated in a satirical vein, is also seen as underlying the later additions and interpolations to the text, with a shift towards Seneca's tragedies in response to changes in fashion; Professor Fothergill-Payne reveals that even the Petrarchan quotations in Celestina have Senecan sources. Seneca and Celestina thus offers a fresh perspective on the literary and intellectual sources that shaped this famous book.
