Historia mínima de la España contemporánea (1808-1940)
La Constitución de 1812 vendría a incorporar dos de los rasgos característicos del Antiguo Régimen: La naturaleza sagrada e inviolable del rey en un sistema político de cosoberanía y la definición del catolicismo como la única religión verdadera. Lo que vendría a conformar una alianza entre el Trono y el Altar durante el siglo XIX, que se remontaba a la formación del Estado Moderno del XVI. Lo que daría lugar a una confusión sobre el relato de la historia que llegaría hasta nuestros días, de un pasado que dramáticos acontecimientos nos indicarían no haber concluido: qué es lo que dejamos en los libros, en los museos o en los sentimientos de injusticia insatisfechos quebrado...
Expressing Identities in the Basque Arena
Redresses the balance on the human and cultural aspects of the idea of being Basque in the modern world. Everyday nationalism, the human and cultural aspects of identity, is a neglected subject in the literature on nationalism in Europe. Jeremy MacClancy redresses the balance in this unusual and sharp book on the human and cultural aspects of the idea of being Basque in the modern world. The style is fresh and colloquial, dealing with several of the kinds of issues that usually appear in popular magazines - cuisine, football, art and graffiti - but the treatment is serious and illustrative of underlying currents in social life. MacClancy argues that the ethnographic understanding of nationalisms, rather than the orthodox studies of ideology, political parties, social classesand centre-periphery clashes - offers a more nuanced comprehension of the lived reality of people in areas where nationalism is a significant force. This is very much nationalism from the bottom up. JEREMY MACCLANCY is Professor of Social Anthropology at Oxford Brookes University Series editors: Wendy James & Nick Allen
A Sourcebook of Gauguin's Symbolist Followers
Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) played a seminal role in Post-Impressionist France. In his writings and work, he favored emotional responses to nature over intellectual uses of lines, color, and composition. In 1888 he and Emile Bernard developed a new style called Synthetism. Three groups of Gauguin's symbolist followers—Pont Aven, Les Nabis, and Rose + Croix pursued and extended the Synthetist vision. This sourcebook focuses on the most prominent adherents of the three schools directly affected by Gauguin's symbolism. This is the first comprehensive, single-volume guide and bibliography of artists in these three important French avant-garde movements. This work covers the entire careers of 16 artists by providing biographical sketches, chronologies, citations to primary and secondary literature and exhibitions.
Encounters in Video Art in Latin America
With insightful essays and interviews, this volume examines how artists have experimented with the medium of video across different regions of Latin America since the 1960s. The emergence of video art in Latin America is marked by multiple points of development, across more than a dozen artistic centers, over a period of more than twenty-five years. When first introduced during the 1960s, video was seen as empowering: the portability of early equipment and the possibility of instant playback allowed artists to challenge and at times subvert the mainstream media. Video art in Latin America was—and still is—closely related to the desire for social change. Themes related to gender, ethnic, ...
