Feminism, National Identity and European Integration in Modern Spain
Author: Kathryn L. Mahaney
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350195138
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
This book explores the evolution of Spanish feminism in the context of European feminisms and institutions from the 1960s to recent times. Beginning with Sección Femenina, the official Francoist women's organization, Feminism, National Identity and European Integration in Modern Spain traces the interplay between Spanish women's policy and international policymaking. In some cases, as with the Sección Femenina-championed Law of Political Rights (Ley de Derechos) in 1961, Spanish women's policy at least appeared more progressive than what Western democracies offered – notable at a time when Spain was considered backward. After Franco's death in 1975, Spain's democratic transition seemingly consolidated forward-thinking women's policy with a Constitution that guaranteed equality of the sexes in 1978, and with the creation of a national bureau charged with crafting women's policy, the Instituto de la Mujer (Women's Institute), in 1983. Yet feminists found themselves marginalized in Spanish political decision-making, as Kathryn L. Mahaney argues so successfully in this study. Mahaney reveals that women ultimately influenced domestic policy not by acting within national networks but by leveraging European connections, particularly after Spain joined the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1986. The book shows that Spanish feminists worked through the EEC to gain international approval of policies that had met domestic opposition, and did so by representing them as necessary litmus tests of nations' democratic integrity. Their proposals were shaped by the specific context of Spanish feminism, but also by Spanish debates about what rights democracies should grant women and what equality in a post-fascist nation should encompass. This ground-breaking study explains that, in turn, these processes shaped both Spain's and the European Union's much-prized self-identities as democratic communities.

The Chronique d’Ernoul and the Colbert-Fontainebleau Continuation of William of Tyre (Volume 2)
Author: Peter Edbury
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004547592
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 559
Book Description
Volume 2 of the two-volume set MMed 135: These volumes offer the first critical edition of the Chronique d’Ernoul and the so-called Colbert-Fontainebleau (or Acre) Continuation of William of Tyre in over 150 years. The material is accompanied by an extensive introduction, glossary and bibliography. These two thirteenth-century narratives recount the story of the crusades and the Latin East. Both are anonymous; both employed the French vernacular and both contain accounts that are essential for anyone studying the subject. The Chronique d’Ernoul was completed in the 1230s in northern France. The main part of the Colbert-Fontainebleau Continuation of William of Tyre dates to the late 1240s and is a reworking of Ernoul with material going up to 1277; it was composed in the Latin East.

Doña Bárbara Unleashed
Author: Jenni M. Lehtinen
Publisher: University of Wales Press
ISBN: 1786836882
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
It is the first sustained scholarly work on screen adaptations of Doña Bárbara. This study suggests a new way of studying film adaptations by paying consistently attention to how these adaptations have been received by audiences: in fact, the monograph is the first work to combine screen adaptation theories with the more recent approaches of fandom studies. By focussing on Spanish-language case studies and fan communities, Doña Bárbara Unleashed makes an important contribution to fandom studies scholarship, which is predominantly Anglophone.

Intellectual Philanthropy
Author: Aurélie Vialette
Publisher: Purdue University Press
ISBN: 161249546X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
What's in a nineteenth-century philanthropist? Fear of an uprising. But the frightened philanthropist has a remedy. Aware that the urban surge of the working-class masses in Spain would create a state of emergency, he or she devises a means to seduce the masses away from rebellion by taking on himself or herself the role of the seducer: the capitalist intellectual hero invested in the caretaking of the unpredictable working class. Intellectual Philanthropy examines cultural practices used by philanthropists in modern Iberia. It explains the meaning and role of intellectual philanthropy by focusing on the devices and apparatuses philanthropists devised to realize their projects. Intellectual philanthropists considered themselves activists in that they aimed to impact social structures and deployed a rhetoric of the affect to convince the workers to join their philanthropic enterprise. Philanthropy, in the nineteenth century, was not necessarily linked to money. Motivations could be moral or political; they could arise from a desire to enhance social status or to acquire influence. To explicitly designate this conceptualization of the philanthropic act, the author proposes its own name: intellectual philanthropy. Intellectual philanthropy is the use of philanthropic platforms by intellectuals to deploy cultural and educational structures in which workers could acquire a cultural capital constructed and organized by the philanthropists. Vialette argues that intellectual philanthropy appeared as a reaction to the feared political and cultural organization of the working class, rather than as a process of worker emancipation. These philanthropic processes aimed at organizing the workers emotionally and rationally into what she calls micro-societies. Philanthropists used the technique of seduction and expressed love to and for a targeted class. However, this seduction prevented real communication, and created a moral and symbolic indebtedness. This process was perverse in that, through its cultural and educational structures, philanthropy would give workers cultural capital that was not just emancipatory, but also a way to restrict their agency.

El Huerfanito
Author: Victor Enr Quez
Publisher: Palibrio
ISBN: 1463329180
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
En esta narración puse todo mi empeño en contar las fantasías y costumbres de la población, y con muchas verdades que vislumbra en los estratos más sensibles de la localidad. La historia del maléfico y terrible: "Pombero", que es un verdadero espíritu, aunque a veces se presenta como fantasía. Como verán lo que sucedió a una joven de 14 año de edad, de la que se puede palpar minuciosamente lo sucedido a ella, y además con un niño recién nacido de madre desconocida, que lleva como único nombre conocido, como "El Huerfanito" en un populoso y nutrido pueblo llamado "San Jaimito de la Misión". El Huerfanito es una de las tanta historia verdadera que con mucho dolor llegó a ser parte de una historia del abuso familiar y social del lugar, y como novela dramática se presenta para el relato los ingredientes literarios, además ni corta ni extensa se presenta, en la que volcado todo mi entusiasmo de lo palpado y visto. Para caracterizar una serie de personajes, que a veces parecen escapados del paraíso, y otras veces del mismo infierno, aunque siempre tienen algo que decir y enseñar desde el principio hasta el fin lo mucho que sucedió en ese lugar. Además están escritas con la intención real de provocar el suspenso y mantener la atención del lector en todo el desarrollo de la trama, que es a la vez fascinante y evocadora, para llevar un buen recuerdo del contenido literario.
