Cultura y conciencia imperial en la España del siglo XIX available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Mitjançant una exploració de diverses representacions culturals que es van dur a terme en la segona meitat del segle XIX, aquest volum mostra que en l'imaginari de l'Espanya metropolitana de l'època existia una identitat imperial que ha desaparegut quasi per complet de la historiografia contemporània. L'autora analitza les petjades de l'imperi que es troben en l'Exposició de les Illes Filipines a Madrid (1887) i la commemoració del IV Centenari del Descobriment d'Amèrica (1892), entre altres representacions del repertori simbòlic de l'imaginari nacional, i explora una sèrie de textos, objectes i pràctiques culturals que posen de manifest aquella consciència imperial que, fins a ben entrat el segle XX, estava imbricada en la identitat de la nació malgrat haver patit l'imperi dues importants descolonitzacions en 1824 i en 1898.

Download and read online ebook Raising Heirs to the Throne in Nineteenth-Century Spain write by Richard Meyer Forsting. This book was released on 2018-05-31. Raising Heirs to the Throne in Nineteenth-Century Spain available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book analyses royal education in nineteenth-century, constitutional Spain. Its main subjects are Isabel II (1830- 1904), Alfonso XII (1857-1885) and Alfonso XIII (1886-1941) during their time as monarchs-in-waiting. Their upbringing was considered an opportunity to shape the future of Spain, reflected the political struggles that emerged during the construction of a liberal state, and allowed for the modernisation of the monarchy. The education of heirs to the throne was taken seriously by contemporaries and assumed wider political, social and cultural significance. This volume is structured around three powerful groups which showed an active interest, influenced, and significantly shaped royal education: the court, the military, and the public. It throws new light on the position of the Spanish monarchy in the constitutional state, its ability to adapt to social, political, and cultural change, and its varied sources of legitimacy, power, and attraction.

Approaches to Teaching the Writings of Emilia Pardo Bazán available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "Emilia Pardo Bazán (1851-1921) was the most prolific and influential woman writer of late nineteenth-century Spain," write the editors of this volume in the MLA's Approaches to Teaching World Literature series. Contending with the critical literary, cultural, and social issues of the period, Pardo Bazán's novels, novellas, short stories, essays, plays, travel writing, and cookbooks offer instructors countless opportunities to engage with a variety of critical frameworks. The wide range of topics in the author's works, from fashion to science and technology to gender equality, and the brilliance of her literary style make Pardo Bazán a compelling figure in the classroom. Part 1, "Materials," provides biographical and critical resources, an overview of Pardo Bazán's vast and diverse oeuvre, and a literary-historical time line. It also reviews secondary sources, editions and translations, and digital resources. The twenty-three essays in part 2, "Approaches," explore various issues that are central to teaching Pardo Bazán's works, including the author's engagement with contemporary literary movements, feminism and gender, nation and the late Spanish empire, Spanish and Galician identities, and nineteenth-century scientific and medical discourses. Film adaptations and translations of Pardo Bazán's works are also addressed. Highlighting the artistic, social, and intellectual currents of Pardo Bazán's writings, this volume will assist instructors who wish to teach the author's works in courses on world literature, nineteenth-century literature, and gender studies as well as in Spanish-language courses.

This book was released on 2016-09. Intersections of Race, Class, Gender, and Nation in Fin-de-siècle Spanish Literature and Culture available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This volume focuses on intersections of race, class, and gender in the formation of the fin-de-siècle Spanish and Spanish colonial subject. Despite the wealth of research produced on gender, race (largely as it relates to the themes of nationhood and empire), and social class, few studies have focused on how these categories interacted, frequently operating simultaneously to reveal contexts in which dominated groups were dominating and vice versa.
