Book Description
This is an annotated critical edition of Artículos de costumbres by the Romantic journalist Mariano José de Larra (1809–37), presented with a critical introduction, study guide, glossary and chronology. Larra is still one of the most widely studied Spanish Romantic authors, and his satire of customs and manners in articles such as El castellano viejo, Vuelva usted mañana and Nochebuena de 1836 offers an insight into nineteenth century Spanish culture, while probing issues that are still seen as defining of Spanish identity today. Artículos de costumbres, presented here with an extensive annotation that identifies references that have not been previously elucidated, is a central text in the Spanish canon, opening up questions about modern Spain and issues such as political revolution, class identities, social change and the inclusion of Spain within European modernity.

A New History of Spanish Literature
Author: Richard E. Chandler
Publisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 9780807117354
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
First published in 1961, A New History of Spanish Literature has been a much-used resource for generations of students. The book has now been completely revised and updated to include extensive discussion of Spanish literature of the past thirty years. Richard E. Chandler and Kessel Schwartz, both longtime students of the literature, write authoritatively about every Spanish literary work of consequence. From the earliest extant writings though the literature of the 1980s, they draw on the latest scholarship. Unlike most literary histories, this one treats each genre fully in its own section, thus making it easy for the reader to follow the development of poetry, the drama, the novel, other prose fiction, and nonfiction prose. Students of the first edition have found this method particularly useful. However, this approach does not preclude study of the literature by period. A full index easily enables the reader to find all references to any individual author or book. Another noteworthy feature of the book, and one omitted from many books of this kind, is the comprehensive attention the authors accord nonfiction prose, including, for example, essays, philosophy, literary criticism, politics, and historiography. Encyclopedic in scope yet concise and eminently readable, the revised edition of A New History of Spanish Literature bids fair to be the standard reference well into the next century.

Henri Lefebvre and the Spanish Urban Experience
Author: Benjamin Fraser
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1611483689
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Henri Lefebvre and the Spanish Urban Experience is the first book to thoroughly apply the French urban philosopher's thought on cities to the culture and literature of Spain. Fraser shows how Lefebvre's complex view of the city as a mobile phenomenon is relevant to understanding a variety of Spanish cultural products--from urban plans and short writing on the urban experience during the nineteenth century to urban theories, cultural practices and literary fiction of the twentieth century, pushing on to interrogate even the appearance of Mediterranean space and Barcelona in recent video games.

The Culture of Cursilería
Author: Noël Valis
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 0822384280
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 423
Book Description
Not easily translated, the Spanish terms cursi and cursilería refer to a cultural phenomenon widely prevalent in Spanish society since the nineteenth century. Like "kitsch," cursi evokes the idea of bad taste, but it also suggests one who has pretensions of refinement and elegance without possessing them. In The Culture of Cursilería, Noël Valis examines the social meanings of cursi, viewing it as a window into modern Spanish history and particularly into the development of middle-class culture. Valis finds evidence in literature, cultural objects, and popular customs to argue that cursilería has its roots in a sense of cultural inadequacy felt by the lower middle classes in nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Spain. The Spain of this era, popularly viewed as the European power most resistant to economic and social modernization, is characterized by Valis as suffering from nostalgia for a bygone, romanticized society that structured itself on strict class delineations. With the development of an economic middle class during the latter half of the nineteenth century, these designations began to break down, and individuals across all levels of the middle class exaggerated their own social status in an attempt to protect their cultural capital. While the resulting manifestations of cursilería were often provincial, indeed backward, the concept was—and still is—closely associated with a sense of home. Ultimately, Valis shows how cursilería embodied the disparity between old ways and new, and how in its awkward manners, airs of pretension, and graceless anxieties it represents Spain's uneasy surrender to the forces of modernity. The Culture of Cursilería will interest students and scholars of Latin America, cultural studies, Spanish literature, and modernity.

Historia de la Comunicación Social del Ecuador: prensa, radio, televisión y cibermedios (1792-2013)
Author: Antonio Checa Godoy
Publisher: Dykinson
ISBN: 8413776740
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 678
Book Description
¿Quién fue el Gutemberg de Guayaquil? ¿Cómo nace el periodismo en Guayaquil y el litoral ecuatoriano? ¿Quiénes fueron los Murillo, Irisarri, Sixto Juan Bernal, José Antonio Campos, Pérez Pazmiño? ¿Qué papel jugó la prensa guayaquileña en la independencia, en las dictaduras del s. XIX y en las del s. XX? El periodismo obrero, la caricatura, prensa y radicalismo alfarista, prensa y mujer, revolución anti esclavista, etc… son temas que también vertebran el periodismo de Manabí, Esmeraldas, Los Ríos y Santo Domingo. Todo ello aborda el tercer volumen de la colección Historia de la Comunicación Social del Ecuador, en este caso dedicado a Guayas y a las cuatro provincias del litoral. El valor general de esta obra radica, por un lado, en la rigurosa recopilación de fuentes primarias (que ascienden, entre todas las provincias del país, a cerca de 10.000, entre publicaciones periódicas, radios, televisiones y cibermedios) y fuentes secundarias; por otro lado, en contar la historia de la comunicación en relación no solo con la afiliación política de las publicaciones, sino con los hechos históricos, económicos, sociales y culturales. De este modo, estudiar la historia de la comunicación de un país es estudiar a la vez su economía, su sociedad, su pensamiento, sus creencias, su cultura, y dejar que los mismos periódicos y medios “hablen” de su razón de ser, sus ideas de país y del mundo, su visión de futuro. Se enfatizan, además, elementos a menudo ignorados en la historiografía -que a veces ha incurrido en la catalogación- como los hombres, mujeres o familias enteras que estaban detrás de aquellos primeros periódicos. La intrahistoria periodística. También la historia de los impresores que los hicieron posible, de modo muy particular en la saga de los Murillo de Guayaquil. En el caso de las provincias de Guayas, Manabí, Esmeraldas, Los Ríos y Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, este libro nos descubre muchos aspectos desconocidos o inexplorados del rico periodismo allí gestado. Por todo ello, seguro que será del interés no solo de periodistas y comunicadores, coterráneos o no, sino de todos aquellos atraídos por las raíces y valores de los pueblos de la costa ecuatoriana, en los que la lucha por la independencia y la libertad define su aguerrida personalidad y, por ende, su combativo periodismo.
