This book contributes to the ongoing discussion of the place of contemporary Galician writer Blanca Andreu’s work within the 1980s post-“novísimo” movement, as part of a larger resurgence of the Surrealist in Spanish poetry and its possible placement in the more recent mystical poetry of Spain. It provides a detailed textual analysis of her poetry, and in doing so reveals not only that her work encompasses notions of the surreal and the mystical but also, although Andreu has so far written entirely in Castilian (Spanish), that her poetry utilizes a variety of traditional Galician and Portuguese symbols and images. In this way her work challenges the boundaries between what we as readers may accept as a solely Castilian, Galician, or Spanish poetic. It bases its transtheoretical framework on findings from such fields as Galician studies, Iberian studies, mysticism studies, paradigm shift studies, and regional studies over the past two decades. Ultimately, this comprehensive and unique study shows how Andreu’s multifaceted transnational work may pertain to, and expand, our knowledge of each of these areas of focus.
A pesar de constituir una de las realidades televisivas más complejas de Europa, pocos trabajos han tomado la realidad de las televisiones autonómicas en su totalidad y la mayoría se han centrado en el estudio de casos concretos. Este libro pretende contribuir a colmar ese vacío a partir de un enfoque pluridisciplinar sobre la totalidad de las televisiones autonómicas. Como el resto del sistema audiovisual, los medios autonómicos públicos se encuentran en el medio de importantes cambios de diferente índole: reglamentarios (leyes), tecnológicos (TDT, Internet, redes sociales), gobernanza (transparencia, independencia, externalización, FORTA) que son analizados en diferentes capítul...
La educación para el mercado consiste en estudiar los comportamientos de segmentos de población más o menos amplios y actuar desde los medios de comunicación (los tradicionales más otros como videoclips y videojuegos) sobre dichos comportamientos. Cuando la población comienza a actuar por sí misma, fuera del círculo establecido, el sistema de adoctrinamiento activa de inmediato nuevos estudios y estrategias de acción para adaptarse y agrandar dicho círculo, de forma que se cambia una parte o el todo para que el conjunto continúe igual. Se trata de una persecución «asfixiante» contra el consumidor en potencia –cuanto más cons-ciente, más asfixiante- que no puede escapar a el...

Un ensayo que nos conmina a recordar que debemos mantenernos vigilantes, porque las conquistas no son incuestionables ni inamovibles. Desde la trinchera: microbatallas feministas quiere contar las batallas de una chica joven en un mundo masculino y masculinizado. Es un conjunto de vivencias que llevan lo personal a lo político, lo doméstico al espacio público. Ellas luchan cada día las batallas que surgen en las aulas, en las barras de los bares, las mesas familiares o las oficinas de nuestro país. Ellas aprenden a asumir las reivindicaciones de los precarios, de los racializados, de los oprimidos y practican la modalidad más descarnada de resistencia al macho alfa, un microfeminismo de batalla, que pretende cambiar las cosas desde dentro, focalizado en la lucha diaria. Porque solo ganando todas las batallas se puede aspirar a ganar la guerra. Laura Martínez se sitúa en primera línea de ataque dentro de una nueva revolución que descansa sobre los hombros de decenas de miles de mujeres jóvenes, hijas de una cultura heteronormativa, que han decidido que hasta aquí han llegado.
