Download or read book La doble transici n written by Ramón Buckley and published by Siglo XXI de España Editores. This book was released on 1996 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No se puede entender la transición de 1975 si no se relaciona con una transición anterior a ella, la revolución ideológica de 1968. En esta “doble transición” está la clave del comportamiento de nuestra clase política, así como de nuestra clase intelectual, en esos azarosos años setenta. Los escritores e intelectuales españoles efectuaron su propia “transición” -una transición ideológica- a partir de 1968 y, en cierta medida, se desentendieron de la transición de 1975. Los políticos pensaron que la transición a la democracia estaba exclusivamente en sus manos y actuaron en consecuencia. Nacía así, a partir de 1975, una democracia perfectamente urdida por la clase política pero no suficientemente arropada por la clase intelectual, una democracia más producto de la ciencia que de un verdadero estado de conciencia. A diferencia de lo que ocurrió en la República, la clase intelectual no supo estar a la altura de las circunstancias y no supo -o no pudo- ejercer su autoridad moral, actuando de mediador entre el poder político y la opinión pública. La doble transición indaga en las raíces mismas de un proceso ideológico que determinó, en buena medida, el desarrollo de los acontecimientos políticos de aquella década. Ramón Buckley es profesor visitante en diversas universidades americanas, así como del College for International Studies en Madrid. Es hijo de Henry Buckley, corresponsal extranjero en la guerra civil española y decano de la prensa extranjera en Madrid hasta su retiro en 1968. Tiene sus raíces y su residencia habitual en Sitges, de donde procede su madre. Ha publicado diversos libros (Problemas formales de la novela) sobre la narrativa española del siglo XX y ha colaborado en numerosas publicaciones y revistas. Es autor de traducciones de clásicos de la literatura inglesa (Alicia en el país de las maravillas) al castellano.

Download or read book Sites of Memory in Spain and Latin America written by Marina Llorente and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-09-03 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sites of Memory in Spain and Latin America isa collection of essays that explores historical memory at the intersection of political, cultural, social, and economic forces in the contexts of Spain and Latin America. The essays here focus on a variety of forms of memory—from the most concrete to the performative—that resist forgetting and unite individuals against hegemonic memory. The volume comprises four thematic sections that focus on Chile, Spain, Argentina, Venezuela, Mexico, Peru, and the Dominican Republic. Keeping in line with the concept informing this collection, that the past returns politically to haunt the present, the four sections move from the contemporary context to the colonial and pre-Columbian eras in Latin America. For all its diversity, the researchers’ interdisciplinary methodology displayed in this collection brings to light processes that would otherwise have remained illegible under a more narrow interpretative approach to historical memory. This volume focuses on the processes of remembering in geographies that have been transformed by violence and conflict in Spain and Latin America. In the cases investigated witnessing, trauma, and testimony speak to the urgency of truth and justice; historical memory, therefore, is ultimately a political act.

Download or read book Carmen Mart n Gaite written by Ester Bautista Botello and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2019-01-09 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reconstructs the poetics of Carmen Martín Gaite by viewing the concept of journey as a fundamental principle upon which she bases and elaborates her narrative writing of the 1990s. Five novels published in this period receive critical attention, all of which coincide with the last trips taken by the writer to New York: Caperucita en Manhattan (1990), Nubosidad variable (1992), La reina de las nieves (1994), Lo raro es vivir (1996) and Irse de casa (1998). To the extent that the journey is the essence of the narrative under consideration, the concept is analysed as an aesthetic practice and an attempt to identify a series of actions, which allow us to link the writer’s novels with two areas that have previously received only scant critical scrutiny: geography and the visual dimension. This book presents a comparative and interdisciplinary analysis of space in Martín Gaite’s narrative as well as in her collages, drawings and paintings.
Download or read book Queer Transitions in Contemporary Spanish Culture written by Gema Pérez-Sánchez and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gema Pérez-Sánchez argues that the process of political and cultural transition from dictatorship to democracy in Spain can be read allegorically as a shift from a dictatorship that followed a self-loathing "homosexual" model to a democracy that identified as a pluralized "queer" body. Focusing on the urban cultural phenomenon of la movida, she offers a sustained analysis of high queer culture, as represented by novels, along with an examination of low queer culture, as represented by comic books and films. Pérez-Sánchez shows that urban queer culture played a defining role in the cultural and political processes that helped to move Spain from a premodern, fascist military dictatorship to a late-capitalist, parliamentary democracy. The book highlights the contributions of women writers Ana María Moix and Cristina Peri Rossi, as well as comic book artists Ana Juan, Victoria Martos, Ana Miralles, and Asun Balzola. Its attention to women's cultural production functions as a counterpoint to its analysis of the works of such male writers as Juan Goytisolo and Eduardo Mendicutti, comic book artists Nazario, Rubén, and Luis Pérez Ortiz, and filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar.
Download or read book Transatlantic Mysteries written by William J. Nichols and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2011 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transatlantic Mysteries presents a comparative study that brings together authors Paco Ignacio Taibo II and Manuel Vázquez Montalbán --from two specific political contexts: post-1968 Mexico and post-Franco Spain-- who both work in one specific genre--"noir" detective fiction. In this so called age of globalization, Spain and Mexico have witnessed an explosion in the production of "noir" detective fiction which these authors choose purposefully in order to infiltrate the market with formulaic "popular" literature while simultaneously critiquing the effects of the neoliberal strategies embraced by their countries. By locating themselves at the crossroads where literature meets the market, they not only underscore the effects of capital onliterary and cultural production but also explore the possibility for their writing to resist the influences of capital and question the role of an intellectual in an era of globalization. At the core of their writing Taibo and Vázquez Montalbánexamine the revolutionary possibilities of literature and popular culture to offer a new kind of Marxist project that revitalizes the Left by redefining the role of socially engaged literature in a globalized landscape.

Download or read book Memory Battles of the Spanish Civil War written by Sebastiaan Faber and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to forget the violent twentieth-century past was long seen as a virtue in Spain, even a duty. But the common wisdom has shifted as increasing numbers of Spaniards want to know what happened, who suffered, and who is to blame. Memory Battles of the Spanish Civil War shows how historiography, fiction, and photography have shaped our views of the 1936–39 war and its long, painful aftermath. Faber traces the curious trajectories of iconic Spanish Civil War photographs by Robert Capa, Gerda Taro, and David Seymour; critically reads a dozen recent Spanish novels and essays; interrogates basic scholarly assumptions about history, memory, and literature; and interviews nine scholars, activists, and documentarians who in the past decade and a half have helped redefine Spain's relationship to its past. In this book Faber argues that recent political developments in Spain—from the grassroots call for the recovery of historical memory to the indignados movement and the foundation of Podemos—provide an opportunity for scholars in the humanities to engage in a more activist, public, and democratic practice.
