La cultura en la Universitat de València: 1985-2019
Con motivo del XX Aniversario del Centre Cultural La Nau y del 520 de la Universitat de València, este libro recoge la historia de su actividad cultural entre 1985 y 2019. Toma como punto de partida la aprobación de sus Estatutos, que supusieron el inicio de su andadura democrática y autónoma, y que ya la definían como una institución difusora de cultura en el seno de la sociedad. Para cumplir con esta misión, la Universitat de València ha desarrollado innumerables iniciativas y programas en el terreno de las artes escénicas, la literatura, el cine, la música, las exposiciones, la cultura científica, el debate público o el patrimonio cultural. Esta obra recoge, por primera vez en un único volumen, el camino recorrido en cumplimiento de la que constituye una de sus principales funciones: el desarrollo de una cultura crítica transformadora de la realidad social y favorecedora de la convivencia democrática, plural y en igualdad.

Neoliberalism and the Media
This book examines the multiple ways that popular media mainstream and reinforce neoliberal ideology, exposing how they promote neoliberalism’s underlying ideas, values and beliefs so as to naturalize inequality, undercut democracy and contribute to the collapse of social notions of community and the common good. Covering a wide range of media and genres, and adopting a variety of qualitative textual methodologies and theoretical frameworks, the chapters examine diverse topics, from news coverage of the 2016 U.S. presidential election to the NBC show Superstore (an atypical instance in which a TV show, for one brief season, challenged the central tenets of neoliberalism) to "kitchen porn." The book also takes an intersectional approach, as contributors explore how gender, race, class and other aspects of social identity are inextricably tied to each other within media representation. At once innovative and distinctive in its illustration of how the media is complicit in perpetuating neoliberal ideology, Neoliberalism and the Media offers students and scholars alike an incisive portrait of the intersection between media and ideology today.
Music, Race, and Nation
Long a favorite on dance floors in Latin America, the porro, cumbia, and vallenato styles that make up Colombia's música tropical are now enjoying international success. How did this music—which has its roots in a black, marginal region of the country—manage, from the 1940s onward, to become so popular in a nation that had prided itself on its white heritage? Peter Wade explores the history of música tropical, analyzing its rise in the context of the development of the broadcast media, rapid urbanization, and regional struggles for power. Using archival sources and oral histories, Wade shows how big band renditions of cumbia and porro in the 1940s and 1950s suggested both old traditions and new liberties, especially for women, speaking to a deeply rooted image of black music as sensuous. Recently, nostalgic, "whitened" versions of música tropical have gained popularity as part of government-sponsored multiculturalism. Wade's fresh look at the way music transforms and is transformed by ideologies of race, nation, sexuality, tradition, and modernity is the first book-length study of Colombian popular music.
