Art and Identity in Spain, 1833–1956
Richly illustrated, this is the first study in English to explore the longevity of Orientalist art in Spain over a period of 120 years. It highlights how artists in Spain shaped perceptions of Al-Andalus (Iberia under Islam 711–1492) and northern Morocco, from Spain's liberal revolution of the 1830s to the end of the Protectorate of Morocco in 1956. Combining art history with a cultural studies approach, and using exemplary case studies, Hopkins foregrounds the diverse issues that underpin Orientalist expression: reflections on history and the nation, cultural nationalism, gender and sexuality, aesthetics and art commerce, colonialism and racial thinking. In the process, the book challenge...
The Routledge Hispanic Studies Companion to Nineteenth-Century Spain
The Routledge Hispanic Studies Companion to Nineteenth-Century Spain brings together an international team of expert contributors in this critical and innovative volume that redefines nineteenth-century Spain in a multi-national, multi-lingual, and transnational way. This interdisciplinary volume examines questions moving beyond the traditional concept of Spain as a singular, homogenous entity to a new understanding of Spain as an unstable set of multipolar and multilinguistic relations that can be inscribed in different translational ways. This invaluable resource will be of interest to advanced students and scholars in Hispanic Studies.
Archaeozoology of Southwest Asia and Adjacent Areas XIII
Southwest Asia is at the epicenter of zooarchaeological research on pivotal changes in human history such as animal domestication and the emergence of social complexity. This volume continues the long tradition of the ASWA conference series in publishing new research results in the zooarchaeology of southwest Asia and adjacent areas. The book is organized in three thematic areas. The first presents new methodological tools and approaches in the study of animal remains exemplified through studies on domestication, butchery practices, microdebris, intrasite contextual comparisons and age-at-death recording. Besides offering interesting insights into our past, these methodological developments ...
Casal Selvatà
Tal com afirma l'escriptor Albert Manent en el pròleg, el paper de les parròquies va ser fonamental en la represa cultural i nacional de Catalunya durant el franquisme. A través del llibre que teniu a les mans coneixereu la vitalitat d'un centre parroquial d'una vila del Camp de Tarragona, un exemple de com es concretaren la vessant pastoral de l'Església en els moviments d'acció catòlica i la preservació de la identitat catalana. És un llibre de microhistòria, on hi consta el funcionament de les seccions, on es recullen les múltiples activitats dutes a terme, els noms i cognoms de les persones que les feren possible, des del rector fins al taquiller del cinema. És una etapa molt propera de la història que els més grans encara guarden en la memòria, però ja no els joves, i és per això que esdevé un testimoni indispensable per entendre el passat. L'aportació recupera documents i sobretot experiència, viscuda en forma de converses que posen al descobert molts fets fins ara ignorats per la majoria de convilatans.

Justícia, no venjança
L'any 2002 l'Associació Pro-Memòria als Immolats per la Llibertat a Catalunya va encarregar l'actualització del cens dels executats pel franquisme a Barcelona entre el 1939 i el 1952, amb un resultat de 1717 casos documentats. Darrera aquests fets hi ha la història silenciada, amagada i obviada de 1717 famílies que encara tants anys després es plantegen interrogants sobre què va passar i com va passar. A través de la documentació s'ha pogut donar una resposta sobre com es legislava, s'organitzava i s'executava la repressió franquista. A més, s'ha donat l'oportunitat a les famílies perquè expliquin la seva història, que sempre havia quedat en un àmbit reduït, familiar o local. Elles són les que han conservat com a tresors les darreres paraules que els seus familiars els escrivien poc abans de ser executats. Tots coincideixen en una idea: volem justícia, no venjança.
