Otherness and National Identity in 19th-Century Spanish Literature
A comprehensive exploration of the several subaltern types and social groups that were placed at the margins of national narratives in Spain during the nineteenth century. Una mirada profunda a los diversos tipos y grupos sociales que fueron relegados a los márgenes del relato nacional en la España decimonónica.
The Soul of the Nation
Religion and politics have historically clashed in modern Spain but the complexity of the controversial and sometimes violent relationships between Catholic values and modern political regimes continue to ride a precarious line of spiritual accommodation versus public policy. Leading experts on religious Spanish tradition and recent historiographic findings set out to define and interrogate grey areas in the last two centuries beyond the reductive conventional notion of an ever-warring "Two Spains." The Soul of the Nation unravels the role of religion in the country's public life following the imperial crisis of 1808 when the Catholic Monarchy put the role of the Church at heart of political and cultural debates.
Buying Into Change
Buying into Change examines how the development of a mass consumer society under the dictatorship of General Francisco Franco (1939–1975) inserted Spain into transnational consumer networks and set the stage for Spain’s transition to democracy during the late 1970s. This transition is broadly significant to both a Spanish public still struggling to redefine their society after Franco and to scholars who have long debated the origins of Spain’s current democracy, yet many aspects of it remain largely unexamined. Buying into Change incorporates mass consumption into our understanding of Spain’s democratic transition by tracing the spread and social impact of new foreign-influenced depa...
Formas de comunicación en el siglo XXI
El origen del lenguaje ha cautivado desde tiempos remotos a la humanidad. El historiador griego Herodoto ya ofreció reminiscencias acerca de un experimento realizado por el rey egipcio Psamético I, quien vivió en el siglo VII a. C., y constató que los Frigios, habitantes de la península de Anatolia, en la actual Turquía, eran el pueblo más antiguo de la humanidad en utilizar el lenguaje. Así, la adquisición del lenguaje ha preocupado a todas las culturas ya que, en casi todas ellas, pueden encontrarse relatos que lo asocian a un don divino. Fuentes orales, revistas digitales especializadas en Ciencias de la Comunicación, anuncios publicitarios, museos virtuales, centros culturales,...
Colonialist Gazes and Counternarratives of Blackness
Building on the growing field of Afropean Studies, this interdisciplinary and intermedial collection of essays proposes a dialogue on Afro-Spanishness that is not exclusively tied to immigration and that understands Blackness as a non-essentialist, heterogeneous and diasporic concept. Studying a variety of twentieth- and twenty-first-century cultural products, some essays explore the resilience of the colonialist paradigms and the circulation of racial ideologies and colonial memories that promote national narratives of whitening. Others focus on Black self-representation and examine how Afro-Spanish authors, artists, and activists destabilize colonial gazes and constructions of national identity, propose decolonial views of Spain and Europe’s literature and history, articulate Afro-Diasporic knowledges, and envision Afro-descendance as an empowering tool.
La necesidad de conocer África.
Ahora que se plantea un nuevo modelo de Selectividad y que sigue abierto el debate sobre la necesidad de que las organizaciones políticas debatan y acuerden un nuevo modelo educativo, parece necesario que los profesores de Historia, Comunicación, Documentación y Lengua, y también otros profesionales vinculados a la Universidad, reflexionemos y aportemos ideas sobre los contenidos de los planes de estudio y los manuales utilizados por los alumnos. Y también que ofrezcamos al alumnado contenidos relacionados con la España del Presente que no han sido atendidos, o no de forma suficiente, durante el período lectivo. Por eso nuestro deseo de atender a la realidad de España en África y a la importancia de las relaciones políticas, económicas, culturales y en materia de seguridad de España con el resto de África.
Private Enforcement of Competition Law
The private enforcement of competition law through damages actions and/or injunctions before ordinary courts of justice is currently the preferred system in the United States. It is playing an increasingly important role in Europe by supplementing a still predominantly public system based on disciplinary rules enforced by public authorities that do not entail compensation for victims. Compensation can only be achieved through private enforcement, which is already viewed as an alternative to the public system. This work, whose origins lie in the International Conference on the private enforcement of Competition Law held at the University of Valladolid's School of Law offers a comprehensive, p...
