Embodying Memory in Contemporary Spain
This innovative book examines the emergence of a memory discourse in Spain since the millennium, taking as its point of departure recent grave exhumations and the "Law of Historical Memory." Through an analysis of exhumation photography, novels, films, television, and comics, the volume overturns the notion that Spanish history is pathological.
Relational Responses to Trauma in Twenty-First-Century French and Spanish Women's Writing
Relational Responses to Trauma in Twenty-First-Century French and Spanish Women's Writing offers new insight into what it means to write relational lives. It broadens the parameters of existing discussions in terms of geography as well as genre, drawing together two literatures whose prominence in life-writing theory to date could hardly be more different: while French women's writing has long been at the centre of international discussions of autobiography, the relative invisibility of Spanish women's writing remains striking. The dialogue that thus underpins this study, between diverse twenty-first-century case studies and broader approaches to life-writing, shines a light on what is gaine...
Francoist Repression and Incarceration in Contemporary Spanish Culture
This book examines the cultural articulation of Spanish History (and histories (remembered, meaningful experiences). It analyzes how real people and fictional characters experience the rupture of post-war repression, as their vindicating collective memory counters the authoritarian narrative and laws that demonized and criminalized them. The book, that breaks the persistent cycle of denial of Francoist malfeasance, is a resource for scholars and students who research the representation of Spain’s dictatorship, its aftermath and the recovery of postdictatorial memory.
Memory and Spatiality in Post-Millennial Spanish Narrative
Focusing on literary texts produced from 2000 to 2009, Lorraine Ryan examines the imbrication between the preservation of Republican memory and the transformations of Spanish public space during the period from 1931 to 2005. Accordingly, Ryan analyzes the spatial empowerment and disempowerment of Republican memory and identity in Dulce Chacón’s Cielos de barro, Ángeles López’s Martina, la rosa número trece, Alberto Méndez’s ’Los girasoles ciegos,’ Carlos Ruiz Zafón ́s La sombra del viento, Emili Teixidor’s Pan negro, Bernardo Atxaga’s El hijo del acordeonista, and José María Merino’s La sima. The interrelationship between Republican subalternity and space is redefine...
Mujeres a la conquista de espacios
Mujeres a la conquista de espacios es el cuarto libro del Seminario sobre Literatura y Mujer (siglos XX y XXI) y está dedicado a la representación de los espacios físicos y simbólicos de las mujeres. Hasta el siglo XIX, los espacios en la literatura eran simplemente un lugar de paso, una realidad más o menos formal, pero con los cambios sociales y los nuevos enfoques de pensamiento de los siglos XX y XXI, el espacio pasará a ser entendido desde otro punto de vista: ocupar un espacio define nuestro estar en el mundo, conseguir una realidad espacial significa ocupar un lugar en el tiempo, con todo lo que comporta ejercer algún tipo de poder o sufrir alguna pérdida.
La Guerra Civil como moda literaria
En las últimas décadas hemos asistido a una proliferación tan considerable de novelas sobre la Guerra Civil española quem sin duda, podemos claificar este fenómeno como una suerte de moda literaria. David Becerra se pregunta: ¿a qué se debe esta eclosión de títulos que parecen cuestionar el pacto de silencio y olvido de la Transición? Pero, ¿verdaderamente lo cuestionan?, ¿son novelas que reivindican la memoria histórica o, al contrario, solamente utilizan la Guerra Civil como telón de fondo? ¿Cómo nos están contando la Guerra Civil las novelas que se escriben en la actualidad? La respuesta es este libro. "La Guerra Civil como moda literaria propone un estudio riguroso de no...
El fracaso de la otredad y las narrativas de la frontera
¿Cuál es el papel de la inmigración en la narrativa española? ¿Tiene potencial transformador en la literatura nacional? ¿Tiene la capacidad de generar empatía y aceptación de la diversidad de los sujetos migrantes? En el presente libro se indagan las cuestiones de la identidad y las implicaciones temáticas, estilísticas y lingüísticas de la narrativa relacionada con la inmigración marroquí en España, así como las implicaciones político-culturales que éstas aportan en el desarrollo de nuevos patrones narrativos a inicios del siglo XXI.
Reconsidering Science Learning
This informative book looks at science learning in a wide range of contexts. It is divided into three parts. Part one deals with the arguments put forward for studying science, and includes a discussion on what science learners need to know about the nature of science and how decisions about what forms science curricula are made. Part two includes articles on the processes by which science is learned and part three deals with inclusivity and diversity in science learning and what widening participation means for science education. This is a companion book to Mediating Science Learning through ICT also published by RoutledgeFalmer. Reconsidering Science Learning will be of particular interest to teachers on masters courses in science education and academics with an interest in science education.
