Landscape and Identity in the Modern Basque Country, 1800 to 1936

Landscape and Identity in the Modern Basque Country, 1800 to 1936 studies the relationship between landscape and modern identities in the Basque Country. Using an interdisciplinary approach that combines cultural history and geography, it analyses the process of historical construction of the Basque landscape, highlighting its multiple political, social and cultural meanings. The book is divided into two parts: the first examines the discourses, images and representations of the Basque landscape; the second examines landscape practices through tourism, hiking and mountaineering. Focusing on the Basque case but establishing numerous connections with comparable phenomena in Western Europe, the...

An interdisciplinary analysis of gender, race, empire, and colonialism in fin-de-siècle Spanish literature and culture across the global Hispanic world.

By focusing on texts by and about women and foregrounding Spain’s pivotal role in the colonization of the Americas, Africa, and Asia, this book not only breaks new ground in Iberian literary and cultural studies but also significantly broadens the scope of r...

The Russian Revolution of 1917, born of the collapses of the War, exerted its influence all along the globe and for a long time. In Europe and the Mediterranean world, the effects of World War I were overwhelming. Taking as point of departure the year of the Russian revolutions, this book focus on the consequences of the imperial and state collapses after 1917 in spatial and chronological dialogue, researching the changing of institutions that created narratives and representations of national memories, exploring the nationalist movements that shaped the new countries and describing the communist activists that helped to transform the old world within the framework of a tragedy of terrible dimensions. José M. Faraldo is Associate Professor in the Department of Modern and Contemporary History of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid.

The neutral status in the Great War turned out to be a transformative reality as the conflict itself, acquiring top political importance from its origins. As shown by most of the compiled works in this book, the dilemma between neutrality and belligerency shaped national self-identities and collective emotions long after the war ended.

La región sospechosa. La dialéctica hispanocatalana entre 1875 y 1939

«Andreu Navarra nos recorre, con precisión, las confrontaciones dialécticas entre centro y periferia a través de las polémicas de los intelectuales de uno y otro lado del Ebro. La bipolaridad de las dos Españas, la centralista y la periférica, se nos refleja en las confrontaciones dialécticas entre Cánovas y Pi y Margall, Castelar y Balaguer, Núñez de Arce y Almirall, Ortega y Maragall, Castro y Bosch-Gimpera, Azaña y Companys… Visiones dispares de la significación en los conceptos de España y Cataluña. Las fracturas en la intelectualidad se van agravando inquietan-temente a lo largo del tiempo, desde el punto de partida del recorrido intelectual que empieza con la simbólica llegada de los restos de Antoni de Capmany, desde Cádiz, a Barcelona el 15 de julio de 1857.» Ricardo García Cárcel

Vitale Mystik

Vor dem Hintergrund eines heterogenen Modernekonzeptes erhält die Frage nach dem mystischen Moment in der Literatur des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts neues Reflexionspotenzial, denn an ihr zeigen sich Brüche und Ambivalenzen. Die Studie untersucht Formen und Rezeptionsweisen mystischen Schreibens in der Lyrik von Anna de Noailles (Frankreich, 1876–1933), Ernestina de Champourcin (Spanien, 1905–1999) und Antonia Pozzi (Italien, 1912–1938) aus der Perspektive aktueller transsäkularer Ansätze, kulturwissenschaftlicher Mystikforschung, feministischer Literaturwissenschaft und (neo-) vitalistischer Philosophie. Dabei stehen die Spannungen in Bezug auf Körper und Geist, Immanenz und Transzen...

El Siglo Futuro. Un diario carlista en tiempos republicanos (1931-1936)

Durante la II República se asistió a la penúltima resurrección carlista, por la que trabajó una de sus piedras angulares, el rotativo El Siglo Futuro (1875-1936). Curtido en polémicas durante más de medio siglo que le valieron para la posteridad una proyección de signos oscurantistas, este diario experimentó entre 1931 y 1936 sucesivas metamorfosis no exentas de contradicciones. En este libro se estudia, además de la evolución de la empresa periodística, el papel del periódico en la construcción de la cultura política tradicionalista, de liderazgos como el de Manuel Fal Conde, las disensiones en el seno del carlismo o el discurso beligerante contra el régimen y su política laicizadora.

Music and Democracy

Music and Democracy explores music as a resource for societal transformation processes. This book provides recent insights into how individuals and groups used and still use music to achieve social, cultural, and political participation and bring about social change. The contributors present outstanding perspectives on the topic: From the promise and myth of democratization through music technology to the use of music in imposing authoritarian, neoliberal or even fascist political ideas in the past and present up to music's impact on political systems, governmental representation, and socio-political realities. The volume further features approaches in the fields of gender, migration, disability, and digitalization.

Disenso y melancolía

En la obra de Unamuno y Ortega son bien visibles el disenso reformista y los recurrentes ataques de melancolía. En la España franquista percibimos una figuración triple del intelectual. Cada uno de estos modelos imagina, también desde el disenso, su propia versión de sociedad ideal: entre los vencidos en la Guerra Civil encontramos al intelectual liberal, que apela a valores universales, y al intelectual comprometido de izquierdas, enredado en la utopía socialista-comunista de emancipación del cuerpo social. Entre los vencedores, al intelectual nacionalista, especialmente al falangista, progresivamente crítico y desencantado con el franquismo. A partir de los años sesenta, los filó...
