Tiempos de ausencias y vacíos

Si la profundización democrática requiere de una memoria robusta, consciente de los desastres de la historia española del siglo XX y sin miedo de ofender ni de reescribirse, necesita por igual de una identidad apartada del encierro en lo íntimo o en lo más propio de la tribu. Memoria e identidad se combinan para integrar al disidente y al diferente, y alumbrar formas de ser y de estar más abiertas y ajenas a lo uniforme. Txetxu Aguado enseña literatura española y comparada en Dartmouth College (EE.UU.). Su anterior libro se titula La tarea política: narrativa y ética en la España posmoderna (2004).

En todo lugar la huella

Este libro estudia algunas de las maneras en que las principales voces poéticas del grupo Mito (1955-1962) representan el periodo de "La Violencia" (1948-1958). Más concretamente, el trabajo identifica y posteriormente examina ciertas perspectivas temáticas y estrategias retóricas –es decir, las diferentes poéticas– a través de las cuales estas voces reflexionaron sobre las diferentes dislocaciones (sean estas corporales, afectivas, simbólicas, sociopolíticas, históricas o estéticas) que la violencia rural bipartidista del siglo pasado trajo consigo. En el marco de dichas discusiones y a modo de propósito ulterior, el libro intenta constatar que la relación que sostuvo el dis...

Shattered Pictures of Places and Cities in George Santayana's Autobiography

Shattered Pictures of Places and Cities se adentra por las páginas autobiográficas, filosóficas y narrativas más relevantes de George Santayana discurriendo por sus viajes y geografías físicas en paralelo a sus viajes y geografías morales. Es un intento de ir más allá de la reflexión entorno a los orígenes biográficos del filósofo; de ahí que se recupere una indagación sobre su habitar el lenguaje y el arte. Santayana reconsidera los fundamentos del arte de la memoria clásica en su autobiografía, para formular una nueva propuesta estética donde el arte y la vida se funden y se confunden, estimulándose recíprocamente. Hila una filosofía del viaje y del lugar, donde se privilegia una noción del habitar que ilumina nuestra condición de nómadas -en la vida y en el pensamiento-, y nuestra trágica estable inestabilidad en este mundo.

Toward a Cultural Archive of la Movida

Toward a Cultural Archive of la Movida revisits the cultural and social milieu in which laMovida, an explosion of artistic production in the late 1970s and early 1980s, was articulated discursively, aesthetically, socially, and politically. We connect this experience with a broader national and international context that takes it beyond the city of Madrid and outside the borders of Spain. This collection of essays links the political and social undertakings of this cultural period with youth movements in Spain and other international counter-cultural or underground movements. Moving away from biographical experiences or the identification of further participants and works that belong to laMo...
