The study of popular culture has come of age, and is now an area of central concern for the well-established domain of cultural studies. In a context where research in popular culture has become closely intertwined with current debates within cultural studies, this volume provides a selection of recent insights into the study of the popular from cultural studies perspectives. Dealing with issues concerning representation, cultural production and consumption or identity construction, this anthology includes chapters analysing a range of genres, from film, television, fiction, drama and print media to painting, in various contexts through a number of cultural studies-oriented theoretical and m...
This volume contends that young individuals across Europe relate to their country’s history in complex and often ambivalent ways. It pays attention to how both formal education and broader culture communicate ideas about the past, and how young people respond to these ideas. The studies collected in this volume show that such ideas about the past are central to the formation of the group identities of nations, social movements, or religious groups. Young people express received historical narratives in new, potentially subversive, ways. As young people tend to be more mobile and ready to interrogate their own roots than later generations, they selectively privilege certain aspects of their identities and their identification with their family or nation while neglecting others. This collection aims to correct the popular misperception that young people are indifferent towards history and prove instead that historical narratives are constitutive to their individual identities and their sense of belonging to something broader than themselves.
WOMEN NOVELISTS. Young narrators of the nineties - A critical study on Spanish writers born after 1960 who have published their works in the decade of the nineties. In the analysis the literary production of writers in Castilian, Catalan and Galician are contemplated, and the complementary bibliographies of writers in Basque and Latin American novelists are introduced.
Laura Mintegi's Nerea and I provides a unique viewpoint from which to examine women's role in the world of Basque nationalism, and Linda White's translation gives us a rare example in English of this late twentieth century novel by a prominent Basque writer and political activist. This volume also includes White's examination of the role of women in Basque society, and the rise of the women's movement in the Basque country of Spain.
Welche Faktoren bestimmen den Literatur- und Kulturtransfer aus Spanien in die Welt? Die Antwort ist zweiteilig: Einerseits sind es Mechanismen und Instanzen, die vor allem die Internationalisierung regionaler Literaturen, z. B. aus Galicien, Katalonien und dem Baskenland, steuern. Andererseits sind es die Übersetzungsprozesse und die Rezeption in den Empfängerkulturen. Wie diese genau aussehen, zeigen die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes. Abweichend vom Konzept der Nationalliteratur richten sie ihren Blick bewusst auf die vielfältigen Regionalliteraturen Spaniens. Die höchst komplexen Dynamiken und Machtverhältnisse des Literatur- und Kulturtransfers offenbart eine Analyse des zweifachen Mittlungsprozesses – zunächst ins Spanische, dann erst in die Zielsprachen und -kulturen anderer Länder. Übersetzung ist somit deutlich mehr als nur ein Medium zwischen Kulturen: Übersetzung ist Austragungsort und -objekt von Aushandlungsprozessen mit kulturellen, sozialen, ökonomischen und politischen Koordinaten.
Si la profundización democrática requiere de una memoria robusta, consciente de los desastres de la historia española del siglo XX y sin miedo de ofender ni de reescribirse, necesita por igual de una identidad apartada del encierro en lo íntimo o en lo más propio de la tribu. Memoria e identidad se combinan para integrar al disidente y al diferente, y alumbrar formas de ser y de estar más abiertas y ajenas a lo uniforme. Txetxu Aguado enseña literatura española y comparada en Dartmouth College (EE.UU.). Su anterior libro se titula La tarea política: narrativa y ética en la España posmoderna (2004).
Desde que en 2003 se publicó el libro Análisis de narrativas infantiles y juveniles (Lluch 2003), este modelo de análisis narratológico se ha utilizado en estudios, investigaciones, trabajos finales de grado, de máster o en tesis doctorales. Cada aplicación ha aportado preguntas, dudas y mejoras. Analizar relato LIJ es una actualización del modelo presentado en 2003.
