The Op-Ed Novel
“The Op-Ed Novel not only elegantly recounts a vital intellectual and cultural history of post-Franco Spain. Carefully exploring the careers of Spain’s most eminent writers, it demonstrates, too, the osmotic links between political journalism and literary fiction—salutary reading in the English-speaking countries, where politics and literature are still regarded as strangers to each other.”—Pankaj Mishra, author of Run and Hide A new history of contemporary Spanish fiction through the prism of novelists’ newspaper columns. Public intellectuals come in many different stripes, but most of them gain a following at least in part from their writing, whether in the form of magazine art...

Young Talent Innovation Telefónica Scholarship. Measuring the Impact of Innovation on Corporations
In this research project we will try to measure the impact of innovation in corporations by using a statistical device known as the Technology Acceptance Model. In order to cover a sample we will focus on Generation Z, which is set to be the future investment force. The objective of the project is to obtain a reliable behavioral pattern and consumer profile acquired through a process of survey research and testing. In these surveys we will measure the relevance of key Industry 4.0 technologies for the selected sample, as well as the most relevant aspects they value when using them. Once the survey has been collected, we will weigh the results and try to interpret the relationships between the different answers, seeking to corroborate the questions posed at the beginning of the project. This work lays the foundations for further research due to the multiple limitations we have encountered, among which time and knowledge limitations stand out. The future project will provide answers to the unknowns that have not yet been corroborated and require complex statistical processes.
Inger Enkvist. Controversias educativas
Modas, tópicos y lugares comunes se han apoderado de la escuela. Se dice que ya no tiene sentido aprender las cosas de memoria porque pueden buscarse en Google. Se repite que los alumnos deben construir su propio proceso de aprendizaje y el profesor tiene que limitarse a acompañarlos. Y se insiste en que estamos educando a jóvenes para puestos de trabajo que aún no se han inventado y que por ello hay que formarlos en habilidades -las famosas skills- y no en conocimientos concretos. Contra todas estas afirmaciones se rebela la experta educativa sueca Inger Enkvist, que destapa la caja de Pandora que guarda todas las polémicas educativas en una larga conversación con la periodista Olga R...
The Afterlife of al-Andalus
The first study to undertake a wide-ranging comparison of invocations of al-Andalus across the Arab and Hispanic worlds. Around the globe, concerns about interfaith relations have led to efforts to find earlier models in Muslim Iberia (al-Andalus). This book examines how Muslim Iberia operates as an icon or symbol of identity in twentieth and twenty-first century narrative, drama, television, and film from the Arab world, Spain, and Argentina. Christina Civantos demonstrates how cultural agents in the present ascribe importance to the past and how dominant accounts of this importance are contested. Civantoss analysis reveals that, alongside established narratives that use al-Andalus to create exclusionary, imperial identities, there are alternate discourses about the legacy of al-Andalus that rewrite the traditional narratives. In the process, these discourses critique their imperial and gendered dimensions and pursue intercultural translation.
