Properties of Modernity
Spanish Romantic discourse that highlights ways in which the mythic story of Western modernity was shaped by transnational European power-politics.
The Art of Witnessing
Widely acknowledged as a major turning point in the history of visual depictions of war, Francisco de Goya’s renowned print series The Disasters of War remains a touchstone for serious engagement with the violence of war and the questions raised by its artistic representation. The Art of Witnessing provides a new account of Goya’s print series by taking readers through the forty-seven prints he dedicated to the violence of war. Drawing on facets of Goya’s artistry rarely considered together before, the book challenges the notion that documentary realism and historical testimony were his primary aims. Michael Iarocci argues that while the depiction of war’s atrocities was central to Goya’s project, the lasting power of the print series stems from the artist’s complex moral and aesthetic meditations on the subject. Making novel contributions to longstanding debates about historical memory, testimony, and the representation of violence, The Art of Witnessing tells a new story, print by print, to highlight the ways in which Goya’s masterpiece extends far beyond conventional understandings of visual testimony.
The Art of Witnessing
The Art of Witnessing offers a compelling new framework for understanding Francisco de Goya's famous print series, The Disasters of War.

Transnational Modernity in Southern Europe
This book explores women’s editorial and salon activities in Southern Europe and provides a comparative view of their practices. It argues that women in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece used their double role as editors and salonnières to engage with foreign cultures, launch the careers of promising young authors and advocate for modernization and social change. By examining a neglected body of periodicals edited between 1860 and 1920, this book sets out to explore women’s editorial agendas and their interest in creating a connection between salon life and the print press. What purpose did this connection serve? How did women editors use their periodicals and their salons to create opp...
Alexander von Humboldt
Alexander von Humboldt: Perceiving the World provides an interdisciplinary exploration into Humboldt’s approach to seeing and describing the many subjects he pursued. Though remembered primarily as an environmental thinker, Humboldt’s interests were vast and documented not just in his published works, but also in his extensive correspondence with scientists, artists, poets, and philosophers internationally. Perceiving the World covers Humboldt’s perceptions during intercontinental travels and scientific discoveries, as well as how he visualized nature, geography, environments, and diverse cultures, including Indigenous Peoples. This collection draws heavily on the English translations ...
Cultural Authority in Golden Age Spain
"Over the past several years, a series of extraordinary cutting edge developments have taken place in Golden Age Spanish studies. Important new issues have been addressed--and conceived--in innovative ways: questions of gender and sexuality; concepts of self and other; political and social contexts of literary production and reception. While these investigations have already begun to have a significant impact on our current reconceptualization of culture in general and Spanish culture in particular, they have until now been somewhat overly dispersed, even fragmented--in large part because of their very nature as rethinkings, as experimental. The present volume constitutes a collective examin...
Teoría y análisis de los discursos literarios
La calidad de la persona resulta también relevante para la enseñanza. El buen profesor posee siempre unos sólidos principios éticos que dirigen su conducta profesional. Don Ricardo es poco amigo de apartes y trapicheos, moneda de cambio habitual en nuestros claustros, jurados y redacciones. Tampoco huye de saborear con risas una anécdota, quizás contada a medias con Marcela. Tiene la justa rectitud de conducta de quien sabe ser independiente. Resulta difícil en el laberinto español poseer la suficiente fuerza moral para autoestimarse sin necesidad de halagos, o sustentar una personalidad estable cuyas manifestaciones, opiniones y juicios, no varíen según el interlocutor. Los estudi...
