The Necessary Dream
The Latin American novelist Manuel Puig is perhaps best known for his novel Kiss of the Spider Woman. The Necessary Dream provides an introduction to and interpretation of his seven novels written from 1968 to 1982. While each novel is given a separate chapter, the homogenious thread of attitudes and themes which touch on psychology, feminism, Argentine politics and popular culture, is clearly displayed. Contents: Introduction; 'La Vie est ailleurs': ^R La traiciÛn de Rita Hayworth (1968); 'The Rules of the Game': Boquitas pintadas (1969); 'The Divided Self': The Buenos Aires Affair (1973); 'The Kiss of Death': El beso de la mujer aran?ía (1976); 'Only Make-Believe': Pubis angelical (1979); 'Les Liaisons dangereuses': MaldiciÛn eterna a quien lea estas p-ginas (1980); 'Life's a Dream': Sangre de amor correspondido (1982); Notes; Bibliography; Index
Women Readers and Writers in Medieval Iberia
This book is devoted to medieval Iberian women, readers and writers. Focusing on the stories and texts women heard, visually experienced or read, and the stories that they rewrote, the work explores women’s experiences and cultural practices and their efforts to make sense of their place within their familial networks and communities. The study is based on two methodological and interpretive threads: a new paradigm to represent premodern reading and, a study of women’s writing, or, more precisely, women’s textualities, as a process of creating words but also acts, social practices, emotions and, ultimately, affectus, understood here as the embodiment of the ability to affect and be affected.
Greening the Earth
Greening the Earth is a rare anthology that brings together global poetic responses to one of the major crises faced by humanity in our time: environmental degradation and the threat it poses to the very survival of the human species. Poets from across the world respond here in their diverse voices-of anger, despair, and empathy-to the present ecological damage prompted by human greed, pray for the re-greening of our little planet and celebrate a possible future where we live in harmony with every form of creation.
Cosmopolitan Baroque
This book examines the cultural relations between the Spanish and Austrian Habsburg monarchies in the seventeenth century and explores the central role of transnational aristocratic networks in cultural transfer processes between Spain and Central Europe. It tells the story of Central European aristocrats who embraced new foreign fashions, commodities, and practices to demonstrate their wealth and superior social position, thereby contributing significantly to the emergence of a cosmopolitan aristocratic Baroque culture. It shows that a new type of aristocrat emerged during this period: the cultured and educated aristocratic connoisseur, who knew how to use cultural imports and practices for...
Carajicomedia
A study and edition of one of the most ignored works of early Spanish literature because of its strong sexual content, this work examines the social ideology that conditioned the reactions of people to the events it describes as well as Fernando de Rojas's masterpiece, Celestina.
The Crown of Aragon
The Crown of Aragon. A Singular Mediterranean Empire recovers the history of an empire which was of great importance in the late medieval Mediterranean, but which has since been relegated almost to oblivion by the course of history. The Crown of Aragon was a Mediterranean crossroads: between west and east for the economy, and between north and south for culture and religion, drawing in many different peoples, covering Iberia to Greece. A new vision of the Crown of Aragon as a framework of overlapping identities facilitates its historiographical recovery, showcased in the chapters of this volume which analyse the economy, institutions, social evolution, political strategy and cultural expression in literature and art of the Crown of Aragon. Contributors are David Abulafia, Lola Badia, Xavier Barral-i-Altet, Pere Benito, Maria Bonet, Jesús Brufal, Alessandra Cioppi, Damien Coulon, Luciano Gallinari, Isabel Grifoll, Adam J. Kosto, Esther Martí-Setañés, Sebastiana Nocco, Antoni Riera, Flocel Sabaté and Antoni Simon.

Fa setanta anys
Aquest volum recull les intervencions presentades a l'encontre científic, celebrat a Gandia l'any 2006, organitzat pel Departament d'Història Contemporània de la Universitat de València amb el suport de la Càtedra Alfons Cucó de Reflexió Política Europea. Pretenien reunir els historiadors valencians que havien fet recerca sobre la Guerra Civil per a bastir un estat de la qüestió, avaluar allò aconseguit, reflexionar sobre documentació i nous itineraris de recerca o debatre sobre com encarar els estudis locals. El resultat és el llibre que ara es publica, on la contesa bèl·lica al País Valencià s'aborda atenent els processos revolucionaris de la reraguarda i l'impacte en la cultura i la societat, tant des d'una perspectiva general com des dels àmbits locals. Finalment, l'obra es clou amb les reflexions sobre la relació entre la memòria i la Guerra Civil.
L'anomenat lo neutre
Aquest llibre fa una aproximació diacrònica a un dels temes més controvertits de la gramàtica del català contemporani: l'anomenat "lo neutre". La recerca es basa en el despullament i en l'estudi d'un corpus textual constituït sobretot per materials del català antic; atén també documentació més tardana i els parlars vius a fi de dibuixar l'evolució dels diversos recursos per a l'expressió de l'abstracció en català, entre altres: l'article definit davant adjectiu, participi, possessiu i relatiu, i amb construccions comparatives i superlatives; l'article salat; els demostratius abstractes, etc. El llibre aplica un mètode descriptiu fonamentat en l'aportació de materials documentals.
