Engaging the Emotions in Spanish Culture and History is a critical analysis of the cultural significance of the emotions in Spain from the 18th century to the present, stressing their historical specificity and social effects. The essays discuss history, history of medicine, politics, literature, cinema, television, art, photography, and new media. Rather than being properties of the individual self, emotions are socially produced and deployed in specific cultural contexts, as this collection documents with unusual richness. All the essays show emotions to be a form of thought and knowledge, and a major component of social life--including in the nineteenth century, which attempted to relegate them to a feminine intimate sphere. The collection ranges across topics such as eighteenth-century sensibility, nineteenth-century concerns with the transmission of emotions, early twentieth-century cinematic affect, and the contemporary mobilization of political emotions including those regarding nonstate national identities. The complexities and effects of emotions are explored in a variety of forms--political rhetoric, literature, personal letters, medical writing, cinema, graphic art, soap opera, journalism, popular music, digital media--with attention paid to broader European and transatlantic implications.

Los trabajos aquí reunidos abordan las intervenciones de la literatura en los procesos históricos de transición del siglo XX al siglo XXI, en el momento en que la democracia está por construir o consolidar. En el contexto actual, en el que tanto la discursividad como la representación democrática atraviesan una profunda crisis, escribir la democracia pasa a ser una tarea política, cultural y estética central. El presente libro propone un estudio comparativo inédito de la literatura en régimen democrático, desde el final de la Guerra Fría hasta las Primaveras Árabes. A través de estudios de casos que abordan la justicia literaria y la democracia en España, América latina, la India o el Maghreb, y mediante un diálogo final con cuatro novelistas españoles, esta aproximación transnacional cuestiona la pérdida de centralidad del modelo español de «transición consensual» y sus líneas de fractura recientes que revelan la emergencia de nuevas relaciones entre literatura y democracia. Cet ouvrage questionne la place et le rôle de la littérature dans les processus de transition de la troisième vague démocratique des années 1974-2005, depuis les transitions latino-américaines des années 1980 jusqu’aux expériences les plus récentes des révolutions démocratiques des printemps arabes. Les études de spécialistes venus de disciplines et d’horizons culturels divers (France, Espagne, Portugal, États-Unis, Royaume-Uni) permettent de saisir à l’échelle globale les mutations contemporaines des enjeux de la démocratisation dans le champ littéraire, et explorent la construction politique d’un monde commun dans l’expérience de la littérature.
