Mujeres y educación en la España Contemporánea

Autor: Raquel Vázquez Ramil

Número de Páginas: 290

La Institución Libre de Enseñanza ha sido estudiada por numerosos pedagogos e historiadores con diferente fortuna, sobre todo a partir de la instauración de la democracia; pero hay un aspecto fundamental que no se ha tratado de forma exhaustiva, en parte por falta de interés y en parte por dificultad de acceso a las fuentes: el papel esencial de la Institución Libre de Enseñanza en la promoción de la educación de la mujer española desde finales del siglo XIX hasta la guerra civil. Papel que conserva hoy plena vigencia. La preocupación por la dignificación de la mujer se inicia en España a mediados del siglo XIX con los krausistas, grupo de filósofos y profesores reunidos en torno a Julián Sanz del Río, que adaptaron la filosofía del alemán Karl C. F. Krause a la realidad de nuestro país y la difundieron a través del Ideal de la Humanidad para la vida. La Residencia de Señoritas comenzó modestamente con treinta alumnas, pero gracias a la colaboración americana y a la iniciativa de la directora, María de Maeztu, creció de forma vertiginosa al tiempo que crecía la incorporación de la mujer a las aulas universitarias, llegando a rozar el techo de las...

Género y coeducación

Autor: Carmen Heredero De Pedro

Número de Páginas: 178

Un libro que llega a tiempo ¿Género? ¿Coeducación? He aquí dos conceptos con los que muchas maestras y profesoras llevamos años trabajando, pensando, imaginando, para proponer un conjunto de cambios fundamentales en la educación, para hacerla realmente igualitaria entre niños y niñas, entre chicas y chicos. A menudo hemos oído: "pero, ¿por qué? La educación ya es igualitaria, ya van a las mismas escuelas, las chicas tienen mejores notas...". Comentarios bien intencionados pero mal informados, porque nosotras sabemos que la educación sigue siendo sesgada, pensada para los chicos, portadora y transmisora de unos géneros estereotipados que perpetúan y naturalizan diferencias y desigualdades entre hombres y mujeres. Ha llegado el momento de cambiar sistemáticamente la educación. Por suerte, no partimos de cero. El trabajo callado de tantos años ha permitido analizar el cómo y por qué se produce la transmisión de los géneros, y ha permitido también crear modelos de acción para introducir y evaluar los cambios. Es ya una larga historia: el diagnóstico está hecho, por lo menos en gran parte; las soluciones están pensadas, sólo falta aplicarlas profusamente....

Multiple Modernities

Autor: Michelle Sharp , Anja Louis

Número de Páginas: 374

This collection of essays confirms Carmen de Burgos’s pivotal place in Spanish feminist history by bringing together eminent international scholars who offer new readings of Burgos’s work. It includes the analyses of a number of lesser-known texts, both fictional and non-fictional, which give us a more comprehensive examination of Burgos’s multipronge feminist approach. Burgos’s works, especially her essays, are essential feminist reading and complement other European and North American traditions. Gaining familiarity with the breadth and depth of her work serves not only to provide an understanding of Spanish firstwave feminism, but also enriches our appreciation of cultural studies, gender studies, subaltern studies and travel literature. Looking at the entirety of her life and work, and the wide-ranging contributions in this volume, it is evident that Burgos embodied the tensions between tradition and modernity, depicting multiple representations of womanhood. Encouraging women to take ownership of their personal fashion, the design of their homes and the decorum of their families were steps towards recognizing a female population that was cognizant of its own desires.

Modernity and Epistemology in Nineteenth-Century Spain

Autor: Ryan A. Davis , Alicia Cerezo Paredes

Número de Páginas: 243

The fraught tension between science and religion has loomed large in scholarship about the nineteenth century in Spain, especially given the prominence of the Catholic Church and the discoveries made by Wallace and Darwin. The struggle for epistemological superiority between these two discourses (science and religion) has served to overshadow certain corners of the cultural landscape that, though prominent sites of intellectual exploration in their day, have received comparatively less scholarly attention until recently. Fringe Discourses brings together a group of essays that seeks to restore a sense of the epistemological richness of nineteenth-century Spain. By exploring the relationship between epistemology, modernity, and subjectivity, these essays recover significant efforts by Spanish authors and intellectuals to explain human nature and their world, which seemed to be changing so radically before their eyes. In doing so the essays also reveal just how elastic the relationship was between science and pseudoscience, genius and quackery. Offering a veritable Wunderkammer, the authors collected here train their sights both on curious fields of study (from pogonolgy, the...

Women and the Law

Autor: Anja Louis

Número de Páginas: 198

Given the remarkable similarities between Burgos's critical analysis and recent feminist legal theory, her writings are still disturbingly relevant today. This study also explores the relationship between melodrama as a genre of manichean worldviews and law as a system of binary oppositions and discusses Burgos's subversion of the former as a means to criticise the latter."--Jacket.

Feminismos y antifeminismos

Autor: Anna Maria Aguado Higón

Número de Páginas: 369

Ambiciosa monografia que aborda les relacions entre les identitats de gènere i les cultures polítiques que es van succeir en l'Espanya del segle XX. Les seves autores han aprofundit en qüestions vinculades a pràctiques i representacions simbòliques entorn del gènere, i analitzat aspectes relatius als canvis socials i culturals, i a la transformació de l'espai polític-públic. També plantegen nous interrogants sobre les respostes que les espanyoles van oferir, davant la persistència de tradicionals i preconcebuts rols sexuals així com davant l'aparició de nous models de gènere presents en els discursos elaborats per unes cultures polítiques d'aclaparant hegemonia masculina. La seva adaptació, la seva assumpció i la seva resistència a la clàssica divisió sexual va propiciar l'aparició de dones inconformistes amb la realitat i l'emergència de noves cultures polítiques.

Quixotic Modernists

Autor: Louise Ciallella

Número de Páginas: 316

Quixotic Modernists gives close readings of two novels by two little-studied writers of the early twentieth century in Spain, Felipe Trigo's Las ingenuas (1901) and Maria Martinez Sierra's Tu eres la paz (1906), in relation to the canonical Tristana by Benito Perez Galdos, Spain's greatest nineteenth-century novelist. This study shows the modern message (regarding gender), and modernist qualities of the prose of these works. Included are discussions of Quijote intertexts, proverbial language and tactics, the angel and the mujer-nina, flower, water, and animal imagery, and visual arts in relation to gender definition. Also included are contemporary responses to the novels and material about the authors' lives and Spain's social conditions in the early twentieth century. Quixotic Modernists integrates these themes into a study of the novelization of difficulties in transforming contemporary gender and class roles. In all three authors' works, this process of change in roles for both men and women becomes a quixotic enterprise, in which artists as/and characters search to reconnect with an elusive material, social body.

Approaches to Teaching the Writings of Emilia Pardo Bazán

Autor: Margot Versteeg , Susan Walter

Número de Páginas: 232

"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 ...

Latin American and Iberian Perspectives on Literature and Medicine

Autor: Patricia Novillo-corvalán

Número de Páginas: 263

This is the first study to examine the representation of illness, disability, and cultural pathologies in modern and contemporary Iberian and Latin American literature. Innovative and interdisciplinary, the collection situates medicine as an important and largely overlooked discourse in these literatures, while also considering the social, political, religious, symbolic, and metaphysical dimensions underpinning illness. Investigating how Hispanic and Lusophone writers have reflected on the personal and cultural effects of illness, it raises central questions about how medical discourses, cultural pathologies, and the art of healing in general are represented. Essays pay particular attention to the ways in which these interdisciplinary dialogues chart new directions in the study of Hispanic and Lusophone cultures, and emerging disciplines such as the medical humanities. Addressing a wide range of themes and subjects including bioethics, neuroscience, psychosurgery, medical technologies, Darwinian evolution, indigenous herbal medicine, the rising genre of the pathography, and the ‘illness as metaphor’ trope, the collection engages with the discourses of cultural studies, gender...

The Routledge Companion to the Hispanic Enlightenment is an interdisciplinary volume that brings together an international team of contributors to provide a unique transnational overview of the Hispanic Enlightenment, integrating both Spain and Latin America.

The interdisciplinary approach makes it an invaluable resource for students of Hispanic studies and researchers unfamiliar with the Hispanic Enlightenment, introducing them to the varied aspects of this rich cultural period including the literature, visual art, and social and cultural history.

Sex and Society in Early Twentieth-century Spain

Autor: Alison Sinclair

Número de Páginas: 279

Examines issues of sex and society in early twentieth-century Spain, using a specific case history, namely that of Hildegart Rodriguez (1914-1933) who came to be one of the central players in the Spanish chapter of the World League for Sexual Reform (WLSR) and made famous by her dramatic demise when murdered by her mother.

Enemies Within

Autor: María Sierra

Número de Páginas: 234

Can citizenship rights be denied to significant groups in a society that regards itself as civilized and self-governing? Is it possible to exclude such people in the name of freedom and reason? Is it plausible to explain classifications that differentiate between first- and second-class citizens as “natural”? This is the paradox inherent in modern politics, born of the revolutions that ended the Ancien Régime in the western world. Throughout the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth, liberalism inspired a representative form of government that appealed to citizenship, yet marginalized many social groups, including natives, women, immigrants, workers, slaves and nomads. In the Hispanic dimension of the Atlantic world that this book deals with, modern politics was based on exclusions explained as natural and necessary. In both Europe and America, a distinction was made between the responsible citizen and those “others” in society, potential “enemies within”, who had to be controlled and supervised. This book explains the success of this political operation by analysing the historical construction of figures of alterity that were fundamental to the...

El siglo XX. Historiografía e historia

Autor: María Cruz Romeo Mateo , Ferran Archilés I Cardona

Número de Páginas: 288

Nuestro pasado inmediato, ese siglo XX de múltiples rostros, es el centro de atención de los estudios publicados en este volumen. No se puede dudar de la trascendencia y proyección de un siglo que ha sido el de los totalitarismos y de los procesos masivos de exterminio, pero también el de las dinámicas democratizadoras y la emergencia y visibilidad de nuevos protagonistas sociales. Los desafíos a los que los ciudadanos de esta centuria nos hemos enfrentado han sido tantos y tan complejos que la reflexión académica no ha permanecido al margen de su análisis. Historia e historiografía se entrecruzan así en esta contribución, para, de este modo, conocer mejor y en sus diversas dimensiones los problemas y los retos de la contemporaneidad.

Writing Teresa

Autor: Denise Dupont

Número de Páginas: 307

Writing Teresa: The Saint from Ávila at the fin-de-siglo examines the Teresa de Jesús “boom” of roughly 1880–1930, and offers an in-depth study of five major Spanish participants in the turn-of-the-twentieth-century explosion of literary treatments of St. Teresa. This historical period’s interest in the Saint from Ávila relates to popularization and nationalization of aspects of Catholicism, technological advances, a modernist fascination with saintly heroes, the search for new Spanish identities, and the evolving role of women writers and intellectuals. Teresa was mysticism in its historical context, energy in a time of doubt, the possibility of reconciling science and spirituality, a new vision for writing, and a maternal figure linked to the religion of the past for those who had lost the faith of their childhood.

Imagined Truths

Autor: Mary Coffey , Margot Versteeg

Número de Páginas: 411

Imagined Truths provides a twenty-first-century analysis of stylistic and philosophical manifestations of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Spanish literary realism. Bringing together the work of the foremost specialists in the field of contemporary Spanish letters, this collection offers new approaches to literary and cultural criticism and reveals how Spanish realism, far from imitative of other European movements, engaged in complex and modern concepts of representation and mimesis. Imagined Truths acknowledges the critical importance of women writers and contemporary approaches to questions of gender. The essays address the impact of economics on our perceptions of reality and our constructions of everyday life, and they argue for the importance of emotions in the social construction of individual identity. Most importantly, the essays acknowledge the post-imperial turn in literary studies. Addressing a broad range of authors, works, and topics, including the continued relevance of Cervantes's Don Quijote and the way Spanish realism moved beyond narrative to inhabit the spaces of both theatre and film, Imagined Truths comprises a series of meditations on new ways of...

Días de lluvia

Autor: Montserrat Lunati

Número de Páginas: 431

Writers, publishers, readers and scholars have stopped apologising for the short story: the genre is no longer a bad investment, a trial-exercise for a novel or a minor entertainment, as demonstrated by exceptional writers with an almost exclusive dedication to it, such as Jorge Luis Borges, Alice Munro, Quim Monzó or Cristina Fernández Cubas. With deep roots in classic and medieval literatures, and great achievements in the nineteenth- and twentieth-centuries, the genre of the short story, which benefits from the linguistic tightness of poetry and the narrative comforts of the novel, has finally been recognised as having a (hybrid) identity of its own. This volume re-edits and expands a previous bilingual collection published in 1997. The first edition included stories by twelve writers: Pilar Cibreiro, Cristina Fernández Cubas, Paloma Díaz-Mas, Adelaida García Morales, Lourdes Ortiz, Laura Freixas, Marina Mayoral, Mercedes Abad, Rosa Montero, Maruja Torres, Soledad Puértolas and María Eugenia Salaverri. The present edition adds another four: Nuria Amat, Juana Salabert, Luisa Castro and Berta Marsé. The stories gathered in this second edition were written between 1980 and ...

Geographies of Urban Female Labor and Nationhood in Spanish Culture, 1880–1975

Autor: Mar Soria

Número de Páginas: 350

Mar Soria presents an innovative cultural analysis of female workers in Spanish literature and films. Drawing from nation-building theories, the work of feminist geographers, and ideas about the construction of the marginal subject in society, Soria examines how working women were perceived as Other in Spain from 1880 to 1975. By studying the representation of these marginalized individuals in a diverse array of cultural artifacts, Soria contends that urban women workers symbolized the desires and anxieties of a nation caught between traditional values and rapidly shifting socioeconomic forces. Specifically, the representation of urban female work became a mode of reinforcing and contesting dominant discourses of gender, class, space, and nationhood in critical moments after 1880, when social and economic upheavals resulted in fears of impending national instability. Through these cultural artifacts Spaniards wrestled with the unresolved contradictions in the gender and class ideologies used to construct and maintain the national imaginary. ? Whether for reasons of inattention or disregard of issues surrounding class dynamics, nineteenth- and twentieth-century Spanish literary and ...
