Walking the city. Barcelona as an urban experience
This book presents an exciting and colorful route for Barcelona and his neighborhoods. Written by recognised specialists in architecture, urbanism or art history, and based in an awarded and exported teaching and research project which uses the city as a classroom and laboratory, its aim is to deepen one’s knowledge about the city, through tours as a way of approaching architecture, urbanism, sociology and history.
Foreign Women Authors under Fascism and Francoism
This collection of essays highlights cultural features and processes which characterized translation practice under the dictatorships of Benito Mussolini (1922-1940) and Francisco Franco (1939-1975). In spite of the different timeline, some similarities and parallelisms may be drawn between the power of the Fascist and the Francoist censorships exerted on the Italian and Spanish publishing and translation policies. Entrusted to European specialists, this collection of articles brings to the fore the “microhistory” that exists behind every publishing proposal, whether collective or individual, to translate a foreign woman writer during those two totalitarian political periods. The nine chapters presented here are not a global study of the history of translation in those black times in contemporary culture, but rather a collection of varied cases, small stories of publishers, collections, translations and translators that, despite many disappointments but with the occasional success, managed to undermine the ideological and literary currents of the dictatorships of Mussolini and Franco.

L'escultura sublimada
La història de Sant Pere dels Bigats és marcada per un acte de transgressió popular. Des dels seus orígens al segle XIII-XIV, l’escultura de Sant Pere, de tradició goticitzant, va suscitar la veneració de la gent de la vall del riu Corb, que peregrinaven anualment vers l’estàtua fins que fou traslladada a Vallfogona. La devoció dels vilatans era tal que, al segle XVIII, en un gest heroic, erigiren el Sant Pere, de 360 kg de pes, al capdamunt de la teulada de l’església -amb el consegüent desconcert de les autoritats eclesials-. L’escultura religiosa adquirí una insòlita dimensió profana i s’integrà a la quotidianitat de la comarca amb el nom de Sant Pere de la Teulada. Després de l’estat de deterioració en què va quedar arran de la guerra del 1936, se’n preservaren unes restes que n’han permès la reproducció integral.
Ideology, Censorship and Translation
This volume invites us to revisit ideology, censorship and translation by adopting a variety of perspectives. It presents case studies and theoretical analyses from different chronological periods and focuses on a variety of genres, themes and audiences. Focusing on issues that have thus far not been addressed in a sufficiently connected way and from a variety of disciplines, they analyse authentic translation work, procedures and strategies. The book considers the ethical and ideological implications for the translator, re-examines the role of the ideologist or the censor—as a stand-alone individual, as representative of a group, or as part of a larger apparatus—and establishes the tran...
Editar la memòria
Poques empreses editores dels anys seixanta han sobreviscut a les crisis econòmiques i a l’evolució del gust dels lectors. En tenim una prova tangible en l’editorial Pòrtic, nascuda el 1963 i acomboiada per Josep Fornas. Amb una aportació com aquesta, l’estudi de Pòrtic ens ha de permetre completar la cartografia editorial dels anys seixanta i setanta, revalorar l’impacte politicocultural de les iniciatives que endegà i aportar dades inèdites sobre l’activitat de la intel lectualitat catalana.

Bibliophiles, Murderous Bookmen, and Mad Librarians
The word "bibliophilia" indicates a love of books, both as texts to be read and objects to be cherished for their physical qualities. Throughout the history of Iberian print culture, bibliophiles have attempted to explain the psychological experiences of reading and collecting books, as well as the social and economic conditions of book production. Bibliophiles, Murderous Bookmen, and Mad Librarians analyses Spanish bibliophiles who catalogue, organize, and archive books, as well as the publishers, artists, and writers who create them. Robert Richmond Ellis examines how books are represented in modern Spanish writing and how Spanish bibliophiles reflect on the role of books in their lives and in the histories and cultures of modern Spain. Through the combined approaches of literary studies, book history, and the book arts, Ellis argues that two strains of Spanish bibliophilia coalesce in the modern period: one that envisions books as a means of achieving personal fulfilment, and another that engages with politics and uses books to affirm linguistic, cultural, and regional and national identities.
