Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early twenty-first century, nationalism has seen a surprising resurgence across the Western world. In the Catalan Autonomous Community in northeastern Spain, this resurgence has been most apparent in widespread support for Catalonia’s pro-independence movement, and the popular assertion of Catalan symbols, culture and identity in everyday life. Nourishing the Nation provides an ethnographic account of the everyday experience of national identity in Catalonia, using an essential, everyday object of consumption: food. As a crucial element of Catalan cultural life, a focus on food provides unique insight into the lived realities of Catalan nationalism, and how Catalans experience and express their national identity today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely associated with avant-garde gastronomy and lavish food markets, Barcelona has become a top destination for gourmands and chefs around the world, especially after the spectacular rise of chef Ferran Adrià of the famed elBulli, soon to be reborn as elBulli1846. Barcelona is a city that attracts millions of visitors in search of art and culinary experiences while cookery apprentices from around the world arrive looking to perfect their skills and expand their gastronomic horizon. The city offers an unequaled combination of restaurants, chefs, restauranteurs, media and local government initiatives to help those who arrive seeking an extraordinary culinary experience. But how has the city established itself as a global culinary referent while becoming synonymous with cutting-edge cuisine? This book narrates Barcelona’s urban and culinary development from the Middle Ages to the present, tracing the origins and the growth of the culinary prestige of this part of Catalonia. Barcelona has been a cosmopolitan center since the 1700s because of its location and busy port. The city has always been well supplied with food, and its residents built a strong culinary tradition enlivened by its contact with other cuisines and novel products afforded by its geographic location and the people who migrated to the area. With literature, painting, music and architecture, cooking has been a crucial activity in creating and maintaining a Catalan identity. Past, present and future visitors of the city will find a fascinating history of the unforgettable culinary importance of one of the most popular cities of Spain.

Download or read book The Emergence of National Food written by Atsuko Ichijo and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-21 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do deep fried mars bars, cod, and Bulgarian yoghurt have in common? Each have become symbolic foods with specific connotations, located to a very specific place and country. This book explores the role of food in society as a means of interrogating the concept of the nation-state and its sub-units, and reveals how the nation-state in its various disguises has been and is changing in response to accelerated globalisation. The chapters investigate various stages of national food: its birth, emergence, and decline, and why sometimes no national food emerges. By collecting and analysing a wide range of case studies from countries including Portugal, Mexico, the USA, Bulgaria, Scotland, and Israel, the book illustrates ways in which various social forces work together to shape social and political realities concerning food. The contributors, hailing from anthropology, history, sociology and political science, investigate the significance of specific food cultures, cuisines, dishes, and ingredients, and their association with national identity. In so doing, it becomes clearer how these two things interact, and demonstrates the scope and direction of the current study of food and nationalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Pau Camins surt de casa al matí com cada dia per anar a treballar. El que no pot imaginar és que aquell serà el dia més inversemblant de la seva vida. Després que el seu veí i company de feina li comuniqui que han estat tot acomiadats, decideix vagabundejar sense rumb ni sentit per la ciutat, allargant així el màxim possible el retorn a casa seva. Allà l'espera la Rosa, la seva dona, a qui li fa autèntic pànic explicar-li la seva nova situació. Mentrestant, tant la Rosa com els seus fills i amics, quan són conscients de la seva desaparició, mouen cel i terra per trobar-lo. Vint-i-quatre hores de la família Camins és una novel·la curta escrita en un to còmic i desenfadat, però que amaga una punyent i dramàtica crítica social.

Download or read book Pere Gimferrer written by Pere Gimferrer and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bilingual edition of poems by the award-winning Spanish poet. Pere Gimferrer has been writing poetry for more than fifty years in several languages, restoring and expanding upon avant-garde tendencies in poetry that had been abandoned in Spain after the Spanish Civil War. Of his second book, The Sea Aflame, Octavio Paz wrote: “Our language will be, already is, larger by one poet.” In 1970, with Mirrors, Gimferrer turned to Catalan, his mother tongue. Since then, he has won major Catalan and Spanish prizes for his work, which, along with poetry, includes writings on film and art history, translations, and novels. This bilingual volume, the first to draw on all phases of Gimferrer’s career as a poet—from Message from the Tetrarch, published when he was eighteen, to selections from his recent verses in Italian—is an ideal introduction to a writer who, in the words of Roberto Bolaño, “is a great poet and also knows everything.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Com ha de ser un enterrament en primavera? El protagonista del primer relat està convençut que ha de ser gris i plujós. I si haguessis de dibuixar la teva dona ideal, la dibuixaries com una deessa, o com un àngel caigut? Com actuaran en Llobet i el seu equip quan comencen a aparèixer cadàvers sense cap repartits per Barcelona i voltants? En les nou històries que es descabdellen en aquest llibre, hi ha difunts, assassinats, dibuixants de còmics, contraban i, fins i tot, un ostatge que es dedica a filosofar sobre el destí en el moment més inoportú. I, no podia faltar, un assassí en sèrie. Sovint amb ironia, a vegades amb cruesa, anirem seguint les passes d'un mosso d'esquadra que ens mostrarà que la vida i la mort tenen estranyes maneres de sorprendre'ns. A vegades, més d'una.

Download or read book Antonio Chavarr as written by Elisabet Cabeza and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El cineasta de l'ombra Director, guionista i productor, Antonio Chavarrías ha tingut sempre la quotidianitat en el punt de mira, encara que la seva filmografia vagi de la mà de morts poc accidentals i crims més propis del cinema negre. El títol de la seva opera prima, Una ombra al jardí, resumia aquest esperit dual, contradictori només a primera vista, que ha marcat la seva filmografia. Els seus personatges, de pel·lícules que van de Manila a Susanna, de Volverás a Las vidas de Celia o Dictado, han seguit jugant amb foc sota l'atenta mirada d'un cineasta a la recerca constant de la veritat en la llum, el so i el rostre de l'actor. Director inquiet, Chavarrías estrena pel·lícula pensant ja en la següent i ho compagina amb una intensa activitat com a productor que deixa oberta la porta d'aquest llibre a unes quantes pàgines més.
