In recent years, much Spanish literary criticism has been characterized by debates about collective and historical memory, stemming from a national obsession with the past that has seen an explosion of novels and films about the Spanish Civil War and Franco dictatorship. This growth of so-called memory studies in literary scholarship has focused on the representation of memory and trauma in contemporary narratives dealing with the Civil War and ensuing dictatorship. In contrast, the novel of the postwar period has received relatively little critical attention of late, despite the fact that memory and trauma also feature, in different ways and to varying degrees, in many works written during ...
A celebrity in his own day, who gave lectures dressed as Napoleon or seated on the back of an elephant, Ramón Gómez de la Serna is the most representative writer of the interwar Spanish avant-garde. This book explores Gómez de la Serna's art and his quest to break down the barriers between literature and life, addressing two elements - already present in his work - of radical relevance in today's cultural debates: the relation of humans to the material world and the reduction of all experience to a singular individuality. Bringing Gómez de la Serna to an Anglophone audience, it reveals him to be the embodiment of a new kind of art on both sides of the Atlantic.
Taking into account politics, history, and aesthetics, this edited volume explores the main expressions of primitivism in Iberian and Transatlantic modernisms. Ten case studies are thoroughly analyzed concerning both the circulations and exchanges connecting the Iberian and Latin American artistic and literary milieus with each other and with the Parisian circles. Chapters also examine the patterns and paradoxes associated with the manifestations of primitivism, including their local implications and cosmopolitan drive. This book opens up and deepens the discussion of the ties that Spain and Portugal maintained with their imperial pasts, which extended into European twentieth-century colonia...
“Neutrosophic Sets and Systems” has been created for publications on advanced studies in neutrosophy, neutrosophic set, neutrosophic logic, neutrosophic probability, neutrosophic statistics that started in 1995 and their applications in any field, such as the neutrosophic structures developed in algebra, geometry, topology, etc. Neutrosophy is a new branch of philosophy that studies the origin, nature, and scope of neutralities, as well as their interactions with different ideational spectra.

José María Escrivá llega a Madrid en 1927. Al año siguiente funda el Opus Dei, y en menos de diez años es ya un sacerdote conocido en buena parte de los ambientes eclesiásticos y universitarios de la capital española. Su actividad se describe en este libro día a día, evento a evento: sucesos que hilvanaron su vida, personas con quienes mantuvo un trato frecuente o esporádico, lugares que frecuentó y ocupaciones desarrolladas al servicio de los demás para extender el mensaje cristiano de la Obra. Los editores ofrecen este estudio con la intención de facilitar a los lectores una mayor aproximación a una destacada figura de la Iglesia católica en el siglo XX.
La tematización de la propia infancia es una constante en la lírica española del siglo XX. Con un corpus de más de trescientos poemas, este estudio analiza algunas de las circuns-tancias históricas, culturales y literarias que revitalizaron este tema en la lírica del siglo pasado. Asimismo, describe de manera teórica los rasgos principales que se repiten de manera sistemática en las evocaciones poéticas de la niñez. En los textos analizados, gracias a la confluencia de la lírica con las escritu-ras autobiográficas, los poetas hacen del recuerdo de su infancia tema lite-rario y establecen un muy particular pacto de lectura autorreferencial, por el que son identificados con la voz poética y con el personaje de su texto, sin dejar por ello de participar de la ficcionalidad inherente a cualquier género lírico.
