This book made the concept of "Spanish Cultural Studies" completely clear to me. "Cultural Studies" as a term remains hazy at times, and the case of Spain is particularly murky because of the tight ties between the literary and artistic intelligentsia and the political machinery of the country (in its many incarnations). The book is arranged chronologically and provides a narrative in which short, concise, specific articles are placed that highlight certain aspects of Modern/Contemporary Spanish culture. For example, within the section on the early years of Franco's dictatorship, there is an article about the importance of sport, and its promotion as a state activity (similar to the sport-cult of Nazi Germany). The book claims it is an introduction, in which case it is an EXTREMELY thorough introduction to the field. Highly recommended for anyone teaching a civilization or culture course, for background. I would not recommend students buy the whole book unless they are planning on following the path of the PhD. Also recommended for PhD students studying for their Qualifying Exams. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Spanish cultural studies are still in their infancy and to date, there has been little interdisciplinary work. Spanish Cultural Studies: An Introduction maps out the new terrain, taking into account the major changes which have been taking place in the context of Spanish Studies in bothsecondary and higher education. The focus is now upon a broader range of cultural forms, hence this book adopts an interdisciplinary approach in its wide-ranging study of twentieth-century Spanish culture and society, emphasizing recent and contemporary developments.This single volume gives the English-speaking reader unprecedented access to the latest research and key debates on twentieth-century Spanish culture. All the essays draw on international expertise across a range of specialisms, and include suggestions for further reading. While the book'sinnovative and challenging content will recommend it to Hispanists, its European perspective and the availability of quotations in translation make it a crucial volume for comparative work in cultural studies. Its format - editorial introductions, glossary, chronology and copious illustrations -also ensures accessibility to the reader who is new to the field.The volume will be essential reading for anyone interested in modern and contemporary Spanish society and its culture.
