The Right and the Nation
This book explores the influence of right-wing political cultures (including conservatism, political Catholicism, reactionary nationalism and fascism) on nation-building processes and the creation of national identities in modern times. The chapters extend the focus of analysis across the different cultures and movements of the Right, their broad geographical spread, as well as cultural factors. Adopting a transnational perspective, this volume highlights the significance of a series of processes – such as the growth of nationalist imaginaries and political cultures – that extended beyond national boundaries and were often articulated via cross-border dynamics. Special attention is paid ...
Argentina
By the end of the twentieth century, Argentina's complex identity-tango and chimichurri, Eva Perón and the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, the Falklands and the Dirty War, Jorge Luis Borges and Maradona, economic chaos and a memory of vast wealth-has become entrenched in the consciousness of the Western world. In this wide-ranging and at times poetic new work, Amy K. Kaminsky explores Argentina's unique national identity and the place it holds in the minds of those who live beyond its physical borders. To analyze the country's meaning in the global imagination, Kaminsky probes Argentina's presence in a broad range of literary texts from the United States, Poland, England, Western Europe, and ...
Madrid's Forgotten Avant-Garde
This book explores the role played by artists and intellectuals who constructed and disseminated various competing images of national identity which polarized Spanish society prior to the Civil War. The convergence of modern and essentialist discourses and practices, especially in literature and poetry, in what is conventionally called in Spanish letters "The Generation of '27", created fissures between competing views of aesthetics and ideology that cut across political affiliation. Silvina Schammah exposes the paradoxes facing Madrid's cultural vanguards, as they were torn by their ambition for universality, cosmopolitanism and transcendence on the one hand and by the centripetal forces of nationalistic ideologies on the other. Taking upon themselves roles to become the disseminators and populizers of radical positions and world-views first elaborated and conducted by the young urban intelligentsia, their proposed aim of incorporating diverse identities embedded in different cultural constructions and discourse was to have very real and tragic consequences as political and intellectual lines polarized in the years prior to the Spanish Civil War.
València: Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Development Goals
University and university students of various disciplines (health, technology and engineering, humanities, social sciences or basic sciences) have set their sights on certain cultural references to return them to the citizenry and invite us to reflect on these manifestations of collective and diachronic solidarity, of how those people in the past did or created things that have contributed to our welfare, but that above all-, they are manifestations of the personal and collective drive of so many people to improve their living conditions and enrich themselves with the creativity of others, thus generating human development. The texts and references presented here are the results of a University Workshop on Cultural Heritage and Human Development. This is a civic reflexive exercise that anyone can do about the cultural and scientific references of their environment or the place they visit.

Entre aquella España nuestra... y la peregrina, 2a ed.
Las memorias de Arturo García Igual son un relato que evoca los acontecimientos vividos y las personas conocidas que más trascendencia han tenido en su vida o en la de su época, trasladándonos con sus recuerdos a tiempos, espacios y personajes vividos y conocidos. Entre ellos, destacan los que explican sus orígenes en la Valencia de principios del siglo xx, los que dan cuenta de la trágica experiencia que marcó su vida, la Guerra Civil y la derrota republicana, y los que permiten reconstruir su consolidación como empresario en el México del «milagro económico». La publicación de esta segunda edición se debe al enorme interés que despertó la primera, publicada en 2005, y constituye un homenaje a Arturo, fallecido en 2010, como miembro de una generación admirable de personas que han seguido, hasta el fin de sus días, dando ejemplos de compromiso cívico.
Historia de las relaciones entre España y México, 1821-2014
México y España afrontan a comienzos de 2016 retos importantes. En ambos países, el desarrollo económico debe ir acompañado de una mejor distribución del ingreso, de mayor equidad social, de unas relaciones internacionales más equilibradas y de un aumento de la transparencia en el funcionamiento de las instituciones para alcanzar Estados de Derecho dignos de tal nombre. Los datos indican que México y España ocupan en este comienzo del siglo xxi un lugar estratégico en el escenario occidental atlántico. Los historiadores recordamos, además, que conviene revisar la historia de unas relaciones construidas a través de los siglos, comprobando dónde hubo oportunidades y dónde estrangulamientos, para ser capaces de vislumbrar con mayor libertad sus respectivos futuros.
