Abstract

Esta obra aborda los procesos de cambio institucional en España e Hispanoamérica durante los años que fueron desde la guerra de los Siete Años hasta la formación de los estados nacionales. Para mantener el hilo de esta historia global, dichos procesos se analizan a través del prisma de la historia de las finanzas, examinando los problemas fiscales en su interdependencia con transformaciones económicas, sociales y culturales más amplias. Resultado de dos proyectos del programa ECOS que reunieron a especialistas argentinos, franceses y mexicanos, así como a colegas de Alemania, España e Italia invitados a distintos encuentros, el libro ha intentado situarse en diferentes escalas de observación: la de la Monarquía, que negocia y reforma los mecanismos de acceso y de circulación de recursos, transformando así sus propios equilibrios políticos; o, en el otro extremo, la de las arenas locales, donde la cooperación y el conflicto de sus actores producían reconfiguraciones institucionales y territoriales; o aun el ámbito de los dispositivos que atravesaban las diferentes escalas —los derechos de propiedad, los cuerpos y las articulaciones comunitarias, o las dimensiones fiscales de la ciudadanía— cuyas evoluciones acompasaban el tránsito del Antiguo Régimen al orden republicano. Dans ce livre l’histoire de la fiscalité est replacée dans le contexte des évolutions économiques, sociales et culturelles. Elle sert ainsi de fil conducteur à l’analyse des transformations institutionnelles et politiques qui ponctuent la complexe transition de l’empire hispanique aux nouvelles nations qui en sont issues, en Amérique latine et en Espagne. Cette analyse suit une démarche multiscalaire en s’attachant d’abord aux tentatives de réforme de la monarchie et l’émergence des libéralismes, puis aux acteurs locaux et aux conflits dans lesquels ils s’impliquent et enfin au rôle des corps et communautés, de la propriété, du financement de la guerre posant la question de la citoyenneté fiscale.

Abstract

The mendicant friars, especially the Dominicans and the Franciscans, made an enormous impact in thirteenth-century Spain influencing almost every aspect of society. In a revolutionary break from the Church's past, these religious orders were deeply involved in earthly matters while preaching the Gospel to the laity and producing many of the greatest scholars of the time. Furthermore, the friars reshaped the hierarchy of the Church, often taking up significant positions in the episcopate. They were prominent in the establishment of the Inquisition in Aragon and at the same time they played a major part in interfaith relations between Jews, Muslims and Christians. In addition, they were key contributors in the transformation of urban life, becoming an essential part of the fabric of late medieval cities, while influencing policies of monarchs such as James I of Aragon and Ferdinand III of Castile. Their missions in the towns and their educational role, as well as their robust associations with the papacy and the crown, often raised criticism and lead to internal tensions and conflict with other clergymen and secular society. They were to be both widely admired and the subjects of biting literary satire. As this collection demonstrates, the story of medieval Spain cannot possibly be fully told without mention of the critical role of the friars.

Abstract

El libro recupera un gran desconocido de la España contemporánea: el exilio republicano en Argelia. Para dar a conocer la odisea de estos 15.000 exiliados, este estudio propone un viaje a través de las escrituras del yo de los que la vivieron en primera persona. En este recorrido, que abarca desde 1939, con el análisis de los diarios redactados en los campos de concentración en los que se vieron internados, hasta 2016, haciendo lo propio con las memorias de los -entonces- niños del exilio, se examinan las articulaciones identitarias de los autores en su llamamiento a que (les) recordemos (y) que "escriben, luego son".

Abstract

The Two cines con niño is the first genre study of Spanish-language child-starred cinemas. It illuminates continuities in the political use of the child protagonist in over fifty years of Spanish cinema and how the child-starred genres use the concept of childhood to retrospectively define the nation and its future.

Abstract

Examines Spain's contribution to international interest in Gothic culture, film and literature.

With the success of novels such as The Shadow of the Wind and films like The Others, contemporary Spanish culture has contributed a great deal to the imagery and experience of the Gothic, although such contributions are not always recognised as being specifically Spanish in origin. Contemporary Spanish Gothic is the first book to study how the Gothic mode intersects with cultural production in Spain today, considering some of the ways in which such production feeds off and simultaneously feeds into Gothic production more widely. Examining the works of writers and filmmakers like Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Arturo Pérez-Reverte, Pedro Almodóvar and Alejandro Amenábar, as well as the further reaches of Spanish Gothic influence in the Twilight film series, the book considers images and themes like the mad surgeon and the vulnerable body, the role of the haunted house, and the heritage biopics of Francisco de Goya.

Abstract

"Cognitive Disability Aesthetics explores the invisibility of cognitive disability in theoretical, historical, social, and cultural contexts. Benjamin Fraser's cutting edge research and analysis signals a second-wave in disability studies that prioritizes cognition. Fraser expands upon previous research into physical disability representations and focuses on those disabilities that tend to be least visible in society (autism, Down syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia). Moving beyond established literary approaches analyzing prose representations of disability, the book explores how iconic and indexical modes of signification operate in visual texts. Taking on cognitive disability representations in a range of visual media (painting, cinema, and graphic novels), Fraser showcases the value of returning to impairment discourse. Cognitive Disability Aesthetics successfully reconfigures disability studies in the humanities and exposes the chasm that exists between Anglophone disability studies and disability studies in the Hispanic world."--
