La obra que aquí se presenta aborda el estudio de la II República española a través de un acercamiento a los discursos novelados sobre la experiencia republicana pergeñados desde la guerra civil hasta nuestros días. Su propósito es indagar el papel desempeñado por la narrativa y la historiografía literaria en la configuración del significado de la primera democracia española y, con él, de nuestro presente. Se trata de ofrecer una visión panorámica de la evolución de un denso, «hojaldrado» y casi secular «conflicto de interpretaciones», por medio del análisis de un mosaico de historias de la II República que contribuya a la mejor comprensión de los discursos sobre la II ...
Hoy prácticamente olvidado, Gonzalo Arias es el autor de la singular “novela programa” Los encartelados, que comenzó a circular de forma clandestina en España en abril de 1968, como preludio de la performance realizada seis meses después por el propio escritor, con el fin de incitar al pueblo español a salir a la calle para pedir, encartelados, que “se convoquen elecciones libres a la jefatura del Estado”. Ello dio lugar a la primera acción política ensayada en España inspirada en las doctrinas de la noviolencia, umbral de los nuevos movimientos sociales de desobediencia civil del tardofranquismo y el posfranquismo. Las Cartas y circulares inéditas del autor, recogidas en es...
Although Spain is an important member of the EU, relatively little is known about its economy and its interrelationship with political forces. This book, the first of its kind, offers a long-term view and analyzes this ever-changing relationship throughout the 20th century with its various upheavals such as the crisis of the democratic republic and the civil war in the 1930s, the long General Franco dictatorship from the 1940s until the 1970s and the subsequent transition to democracy. From the detailed studies of individual cases, specific companies as well as entrepreneurial organizations, a very diverse picture emerges, contradicting widespread simplistic interpretations of politico-economic linkages, which demonstrates both the pluralism of the economic interests as well as the complexity of their relationship to the political class.

This pioneering and comprehensive survey is the first overview of current themes in Latin American archaeology written solely by academics native to the region, and it makes their collected expertise available to an English-speaking audience for the first time. The contributors cover the most significant issues in the archaeology of Latin America, such as the domestication of camelids, the emergence of urban society in Mesoamerica, the frontier of the Inca empire, and the relatively little known archaeology of the Amazon basin. This book draws together key areas of research in Latin American archaeological thought into a coherent whole; no other volume on this area has ever dealt with such a diverse range of subjects, and some of the countries examined have never before been the subject of a regional study.
