The Signifying Self
The Signifying Self: Cervantine Drama as Counter-Perspective Aesthetic offers a comprehensive analysis of all eight of Cervantes's Ocho comedias (published 1615), moving beyond conventional anti-Lope approaches to Cervantine dramatic practise in order to identify what, indeed, his theatre promotes. Considered on its own aesthetic terms, but also taking into account ontological and socio-cultural concerns, this study compels a re-assessment of Cervantes's drama and conflates any monolithic interpretations which do not allow for the textual interplay of contradictory and conflicting discourses which inform it. Cervantes's complex and polyvalent representation of freedom underpins such an appro...
Postgrowth Imaginaries
Postgrowth Imaginaries brings together environmental cultural studies and postgrowth economics to examine radical cultural shifts sparked by the global financial crisis. The globalization of an economic culture addicted to constant growth destroys the ecological planetary systems while failing to fulfil its social promises. A transition toward what Prádanos calls 'postgrowth imaginaries'--the counterhegemonic cultural sensibilities that are challenging the growth paradigm--is well underway in the Iberian Peninsula today.
Post-war Spanish Women Novelists and the Recuperation of Historical Memory
The passing of Spain's Law of Historical Memory (2007) marked the official recognition of the need to confront a violent and painful past. Article 2 makes reference to specific groups who experienced discrimination including religious and ethnic communities; no reference is made to the gender repression endured by women, enforced by a patriarchal regime through its legislation and policies, with the active support of the Church and the Women's Section of the Falange. Revised narratives of the period that have emerged in recent decades have raised issues in relation to the reliability and selectivity of memory, and its ongoing mediation by intervening events. While documentary sources of the ...

El recurso del método
Según el propio Carepentier, El recurso del método es un simple juego de palabras sobre el Discurso del método de Descartes [...]. Los capítulos aparecen enlazados por citas del gran filósofo francés que vienen a justificar arbitrariamente los actos de personas totalmente anticartesianas, porque no hay nada más anticartesiano que el continente latinoamericano, su mentalidad y su trayectoria histórica. Por tanto, se trata de un simple juego de palabras. El dictador personaje central de mi novela, recurre siempre a un método que consiste en no tener ninguno.

Divination on stage
Magicians, necromancers and astrologers are assiduous characters in the European golden age theatre. This book deals with dramatic characters who act as physiognomists or palm readers in the fictional world and analyses the fictionalisation of physiognomic lore as a practice of divination in early modern Romance theatre from Pietro Aretino and Giordano Bruno to Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca and Thomas Corneille.
Tristana
En 1868 la sociedad española se vio conmocionada por una revolución que habría de modificarla profundamente. El derrocamiento de Isabel II desembocaría en última instancia en la proclamación de la Primera República y en una nueva organización de la vida del país. Sin embargo, la alianza entre la gran burguesía que había crecido a la sombra de estos cambios y los viejos valores del Antiguo Régimen acabaría en brevísimo tiempo con aquella esperanza. La Restauración borbónica estableció una sociedad inmovilista basada en la hegemonía incuestionable del poder económico y moral que la controlaba. En esta situación, Benito Pérez Galdós hace nacer a Tristana como personaje incapacitado para integrarse en la sociedad de su época. Desde su posición marginal, Tristana imagina un futuro mejor y más libre, con una clara conciencia de su condición femenina. Con la incomprensión de sus dos amantes y la falta de preparación a la que, por ser mujer, la condena la España de finales del siglo XIX, Tristana será finalmente asimilada, quedando mutilada en cuerpo y alma.
The Nineteenth-Century Theatre in Spain
First Published in 2002. The present volume forms part of a major Bibliography of the Hispanic Theatre, forthcoming in several volumes by different specialists. As such, it is one of the products of a still larger computer-assisted Project of Hispanic Research Bibliographies. The aim has been to give as wide a coverage to the area as possible, listing not only books and articles in periodicals but also data of a documentary character such as items on playbills and the local regulation of theatres. Annotation is confined to information, and critical appraisal is excluded.
