The first anthology in English on modern Spanish women's history and identity formation.
Art History and Visual Studies in Europe
Reflection on the history and practice of art history has long been a major topic of research and scholarship, and this volume builds on this tradition by offering a critical survey of many of the major developments in the contemporary discipline, such as the impact of digital technologies, the rise of visual studies or new initiatives in conservation theory and practice. Alongside these methodological issues this book addresses the mostly neglected question of the impact of national contexts on the development of the discipline. Taking a wide range of case studies, this book examines the impact of the specific national political, institutional and ideological demands on the practice of art history. The result is an account that both draws out common features and also highlights the differences and the plurality of practices that together constitute art history as a discipline.

Historia del arte en España
En esta Historia Valeriano Bozal logra integrar en una evolución coherente las expresiones artísticas -pintura, escultura, arquitectura- en relación con la sociedad en que se han desarrollado, ofreciendo un panorama sistemático de las artes de sus comienzos prehistóricos hasta los movimientos más recientes, y donde se abarcan, asimismo, algunas manifestaciones del arte popular.
El tiempo del estupor
Después de 1945 el arte no podía ignorar ni asumir todo lo que había sucedido en los años inmediatamente anteriores, la violencia ejercida sobre la población civil, el genocidio, las masacres. Todos estos acontecimientos suponían un fracaso crítico de las esperanzas ilustradas en el papel humanizador del arte y la cultura. El estupor se tradujo en una actividad pictórica y escultórica, poética y literaria, que transformó el lenguaje establecido y alteró la confianza en una tradición vanguardista que ya no parecía efectiva. Las obras creadas por los artistas europeos durante los años cuarenta y cincuenta poseen una originalidad que sólo ahora empieza a ser reconocida y estudiada, sus imágenes se preguntan por las razones y la misma posibilidad de lo sucedido. Este libro analiza el estupor de Giacometti, Bacon, Artaud, Tàpies, Millares y Saura, entre otros, es decir, de aquellos artistas que trazan un perfil definido y actual del arte europeo.
Borrowed Words
The book contends that the acceptance of translation and imitation in the literary life of a country does not imply denying the specific conditions created by political borders in the constitution of a national literature, that is, the existence of national borders framing literary life. What it does is recognize new and different frontiers that destabilize the national confines (as well as the nationalistic values) of literary history. In translation and imitation, borders are experienced not as the demarcation of otherness, but rather as crossroads in the quest for identity."--Jacket.
