Regeneration through Sport
This book examines how and why sport in general, and football in particular, entered the country and developed successfully between 1890 and the 1920s, while placing that growth within the context of Spain’s larger historical experience. The introduction of sport in the late 19th century permanently changed the day-to-day lives of thousands of Spaniards. Initially, the country’s growing urban middle-classes embraced the new activity as they built community identities and were introduced to it through economic and educational connections to foreigners. To justify this, these proponents argued that the adoption of physical education and sport would physically regenerate the nation. In resp...
Romance Languages and Linguistic Theory 2002
The Going Romance conferences are a major European annual discussion forum for theoretically relevant research on Romance languages. Selected papers are published in the Romance Languages and Linguistic Theory volumes. This is the fourth such volume, containing a selection of the papers that have been presented at the 2002 conference, which was held at the State University of Groningen. The three-day program included a workshop on Acquisition. The articles in this volume focalize on specifics of one or more Romance languages or varieties: clausal structure, verb-movement, topic, focus and reinforcement constructions, nominal ellipsis, (absence of) pronouns in child language, and other current issues in Romance linguistics.

The Nasrid Kingdom of Granada between East and West
The Nasrid Kingdom of Granada (1232-1492) was the last Islamic state in al-Andalus. It has long been considered a historical afterthought, even an anomaly, but this impression must be rectified: here we place the kingdom in a new context, within the processes of change that were taking place across all Western Islamic societies in the late Middle Ages. Despite being the last Islamic entity in the Iberian Peninsula, Granada was neither isolated nor exclusively associated with the nearest Islamic lands. The special relationship between Nasrid territory and the surrounding Christian states accelerated historical processes of change. This volume edited by Adela Fábregas examines the Nasrid king...
Pau Audouard. Fotografia en temps de Modernisme
Pau Audouard és, sens dubte, un dels fotògrafs més eminents de la Barcelona de principis de segle, no sols per la qualitat, la varietat i el volum de la seva obra, sinó també per la participació que ell mateix va tenir en els mitjans artístics de la ciutat. Prenent com a fil conductor la seva trajectòria professional, Núria F. Rius desplega una diversitat de temes que passen, sobretot, per l’estudi de la professió de fotògraf —des dels tallers familiars fins a les indústries— i per les relacions artístiques i socials de pintors, escriptors i fotògrafs, però que igualment atenyen aspectes més sociològics, com ara la satisfacció del professional que troba un guanyapà en un ofici nou o el tedi del retratista amb inquietuds artístiques. En definitiva, aquesta primera monografia dedicada a Audouard, rigorosa i amena, representa una aportació cabdal tant per a l’estudi de la fotografia com per a la història de la cultura dels segles XIX i XX.
Imatges d'atac
Abans del segle XVIII, hi ha algun artista conegut pel missatge polèmic de les seves obres, com ho són posteriorment Hogarth, Daumier o Goya? Si bé ningú no dubta del contingut crític d’algunes obres i de la capacitat de l’artista d’atacar, a partir d’aquest segle, a través del seu art, aquesta qüestió semblava menys clara en l’art dels segles XVI i XVII. Aquest llibre tracta de la funció crítica de les arts visuals a l’època moderna, de les obres que contenen una polèmica oberta en contra d’un personatge, una institució o un fet concret. Els segles en els quals els fastuosos programes iconogràfics realitzats pels grans artistes de cort mostraven imatges de triomf...
Islamisation
The spread of Islam and the process of Islamisation (meaning both conversion to Islam and the adoption of Muslim culture) is explored in the twenty-four chapters of this volume. Taking a comparative perspective, both the historical trajectory of Islamisation and the methodological problems in its study are addressed, with coverage moving from Africa to China and from the seventh century to the start of the colonial period in 1800. Key questions are addressed. What is meant by Islamisation? How far was the spread of Islam as a religion bound up with the spread of Muslim culture? To what extent are Islamisation and conversion parallel processes? How is Islamisation connected to Arabisation? What role do vernacular Muslim languages play in the promotion of Muslim culture? The broad, comparative perspective allows readers to develop a thorough understanding of the process of Islamisation over eleven centuries of its history.
