This study explores the interaction of language, culture and identity in contemporary Catalonia and rejects the exclusion of Castilian as a language capable of expressing 'Catalan-ness'. This study, charting the construction of a Catalan identity from the nineteenth-century cultural renaissance until the present day, explores the interaction of language, culture and identity in contemporary Catalonia. Drawing on postcolonial and multicultural literary theories, it argues that Castilian- and Catalan-language narratives are expressions of the same culture. Through detailed analyses of texts by Terenci Moix, Francisco Candel, Ignasi Riera, Montserrat Roig, Juan Marsé, Ramon Pallicé, and Manue...
Active participation in processes of change are an essential aspect of community participation, and proper recognition of opportunities for participation facilitate community engagement nationally and internationally. Education and its relation to citizenship in recent years has become one of the most important fields of research. From different areas and contexts, it has been revealed that there is a prevailing need for education for citizens to take part actively in the processes of change and improvement that the current global situation requires. The Handbook of Research on Education for Participative Citizenship and Global Prosperity is a pivotal reference source focusing on the product...
This book examines how and why sport in general, and football in particular, entered the country and developed successfully between 1890 and the 1920s, while placing that growth within the context of Spain’s larger historical experience. The introduction of sport in the late 19th century permanently changed the day-to-day lives of thousands of Spaniards. Initially, the country’s growing urban middle-classes embraced the new activity as they built community identities and were introduced to it through economic and educational connections to foreigners. To justify this, these proponents argued that the adoption of physical education and sport would physically regenerate the nation. In resp...
This book presents the first focused investigation of Francisco Goya's (1746–1828) graphic output. Spanning six decades, Goya’s works on paper reflect the transformation and turmoil of the Enlightenment, the Inquisition, and Spain's years of constitutional government. Two essays, a detailed chronology, and more than 100 featured artworks illuminate the remarkable breadth and power of Goya's drawings and prints, situating the artist within his historical moment. The selected pieces document the various phases and qualities of Goya's graphic work—from his early etchings after Velázquez through print series such as the Caprichos and The Disasters of War to his late lithographs, The Bulls of Bordeaux, and including albums of drawings that reveal the artist’s nightmares, dreams, and visions.
Jaume Guillamet planteja una lectura global de l’evolució del periodisme, des dels fulls de notícies manuscrites i impreses dels segles XVI i XVII fins a la diversitat present de mitjans impresos i electrònics, textuals i audiovisuals. L’objectiu d’aquest llibre, concebut com a manual per a universitaris i com a lectura d’interès per a un públic ampli, és marcar les línies principals d’aquesta evolució, posant atenció als orígens, els moments de canvi, les tendències principals, els mitjans més significatius i les personalitats més influents. Per les dimensions del volum, el propòsit no és ser exhaustiu sinó fer una síntesi orientadora dels cinc segles llargs que van des de l’aparició de la impremta fins a la d’Internet, referida als principals països de referència.
Aquest llibre sorgeix de l’experiència docent en les dues assignatures de programació del primer semestre a la titulació d’Enginyeria Informàtica de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Així, a les pàgines del llibre, el lector hi podrà trobar no només una descripció rigorosa de l’ús del llenguatge C, sinó també l’explicació de conceptes fonamentals de programació que ajudaran a entendre millor tant la utilització del llenguatge C com les estructures genèriques que s’utilitzen en la programació d’ordinadors. Al llarg de tot el llibre, la teoria es barreja amb exemples senzills que ajuden a entendre millor els conceptes del llenguatge. Així, en cada capítol el...
The Going Romance conferences are a major European annual discussion forum for theoretically relevant research on Romance languages. Selected papers are published in the Romance Languages and Linguistic Theory volumes. This is the fourth such volume, containing a selection of the papers that have been presented at the 2002 conference, which was held at the State University of Groningen. The three-day program included a workshop on Acquisition. The articles in this volume focalize on specifics of one or more Romance languages or varieties: clausal structure, verb-movement, topic, focus and reinforcement constructions, nominal ellipsis, (absence of) pronouns in child language, and other current issues in Romance linguistics.
