This article wants to be a close reading of La Victoria, Federica Montseny’s novel published in 1925, in order to achieve two objectives: on the one hand, to break down the cliches that normally appear in Montseny’s work –her “revolutionary melodrama”- as a perfect example of the eternal “ethic-aesthetic” paradox and, on the other hand, to point out the capability of this kind of study to dynamize the so-called “women’s literature” in the context of the XX Century Spanish literature.
Campo y ciudad en la España de Fin de siglo: una lectura simmeliana de <i>El árbol de la ciencia</i> (1911) de Pío Baroja
2013
The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the dialectical relationship between the countryside and the city —taking the case of Madrid as an example— and in turn Spain at the end of the 19th century from the reading of Pio Baroja’s novel El arbol de la ciencia (1911). To do this, I try to locate the reader in the historical context of the period to then proceed with the analysis of the Barojian view of the relationship between the countryside and the city, taking the personal trajectory of Andres Hurtado, the autobiographical main character of this novel, as a paradigmatic case.
A Valencian-style Coalition Government: el Botànic
2020
Coalition governments are common in the European political landscape in various tiers ofgovernment. However, such coalitions were an exception in the history of the Valencian Autonomy until 2015, which marked a new stage with the so-called El Botànic governments. Which factors explain this change in the Valencian political system? What are the features of such coalition governments? Can this model be applied to other political systems? This paper addresses these and other issues. First, it looks at what led to coalition governments in both 2015 and 2019. Second, it studies the model of coalition government. The hypothesis tested is this: El Botànic is a coalition government whose success in…

Los Coloquios Latinoamericanos de Fotografía : hacia una definición de la fotografía hecha en Latinoamérica
2020
En el presente artículo nos proponemos reflexionar sobre los Coloquios Latinoamericanos de Fotografía que tuvieron lugar entre los años 1978 y 1996, en los que se buscó definir y categorizar a la fotografía latinoamericana. Dichos Coloquios se propusieron situar a la fotografía latinoamericana en el contexto de las actividades de la fotografía internacional, y propiciar una reflexión crítica sobre la identidad visual de las prácticas fotográficas de la región. En este sentido, buscamos indagar los documentos y actas de los coloquios a fin de proporcionar una lectura sobre el pensamiento sobre la fotografía latinoamericana en aquel contexto, partiendo del Primer Coloquio Latinoamericano de F…
De la presencia impuesta a la presente ausencia: traducción de la teoría cultural rusa en Cuba por Desiderio Navarro 1960-2009
2015
Desiderio Navarro logra de manera autodidacta convertirse en traductor, luego de ser expulsado de la universidad por sus vinculos catolicos en la Cuba revolucionaria de los anos 1960.

Remembering and Forgetting, Discovering and Cherishing
2018
The events of the Second World War left considerable material remains in Finnish Lapland, ranging from the remnants of structures that were destroyed in the 1944–45 Lapland War, through to small, portable objects connected to soldiers, prisoners of war and civilians. These material remains have variously been saved and cherished by survivors and their families, disregarded as ‘war junk’, ‘discovered’ by hobbyists exploring the landscape, amassed and exchanged by private collectors, and accessioned into official museum collections. These various processes represent transformations of material culture to take on various meanings and embodiments, depending on the different individuals and orga…
Ciudades creativas y pueblos con encanto: los nuevos procesos patrimoniales del siglo XXI
2017
Durante las últimas décadas hemos asistido a un crecimiento espectacular del fenómeno patrimonial. La eclosión patrimonial, entre otras cosas, puede ser leída como una cara más del tercer espíritu del capitalismo. El desembarco de la economía de los intangibles y el acento en la producción del valor de lo inmaterial ha cambiado las reglas del juego de la economía mundial. Nuestra hipótesis de partida es que hemos asistido a una importante transformación en las activaciones patrimoniales: del nacionalismo político, que impulsó el patrimonio colectivo en el XIX, hemos pasado al nacionalismo de consumo en el siglo XXI. En este contexto, este artículo analiza el distinto impacto que tienen los …
Fashion and Eroticism Men's Underwear in the Context of Eroticism
2001
What is the process when historically obviously neutral things are becoming loaded with mental meanings, associations and qualities, getting a new turn of expression? The article deals with the changing of men’s underwear from garments of pure utility to high fashionable, visible things. The context in which the change has taken place, the language which supports the new meanings, the forms, colours and use of the “unmentionable” are studied from an ethnological viewpoint. The author emphasises the aspects of new adaptations of the meaning of fashion in relation to changing gender roles, new ideals of the body and new mechanisms in consumer culture.
Post memory and cinematic affect in The Midwife
2017
The Second World War has proved a rich source of inspiration for fiction films worldwide. The Finnish fiction film The Midwife (Kätilö, Antti J. Jokinen, 2015) is aimed at an international audience with a story that takes place in the context of the Lapland War in Finland in 1944. The film tells of a romantic relationship between a local woman and a member of the German army, in a highly affective manner. This article argues that the film downplays elements that might have interested the national, or local, audience, and that it privileges affect over knowledge. To bring out the film’s transnational character, the article begins by analysing it in the context of national, or local, and glob…
