Ever since the early 1970s when Foucault identified Don Quixote as the first "modernist" novel and, more recently, Milan Kundera positioned Cervantes at the crux of an alternative historical trajectory of the Western novel, the legacy of Cervantes has figured prominently in discussions about problems of representation and production in contemporary literature. In this work, Spadaccini and Talens take the metaphor of the mirror (which has played central roles in various conceptions of the Western novel) to open up Cervantes' writings (fiction, poetry, drama) to history: specifically, to the urbanization and commodification of culture and the emergence of diverse marginal groups. The authors argue and demonstrate, convincingly through close intertextual readings, that one is compelled to connect Cervantes' body of work to political, ideological, and social economies in order to understand its operation. Seeking to dispel the notion prevalent in both Hispanic and comparative literary circles that Cervantes' genius is to be found largely in his work as a practising novelist, "Through the Shattering Glass" argues for a study that cuts synchronically along generic lines and that examines Cervantes' writing both within the theoretical and practical parameters of his time and in terms of present-day discussions.

Modes of Representation in Spanish Cinema (Volume 16) (Institute for Adminstrative Officers of Higher Ins)

As with Italian neorealism and the French nouvelle vague, Spanish cinema developed distinctive style and content from the 1930s to the 1970s. However, Spanish film evolved largely without reference to its international counterparts, isolated as it was by the repressions and censorship of Franco's regime. Through a series of close readings of films made in the Republican period, under Franco, in transition, and more recently under socialism, these contributors seek to present a clearer picture of Spanish national cinema.

<p>Alberto García-Alix (born 1956) is widely considered Spain's most popular contemporary photographer. Emerging from the post-Franco era of free expression known as <i>La Movida</i>, García-Alix vividly captured Madrid's countercultural revolution in the late 1970s and 80s. Surveying the artist's career, this publication spans that pivotal period to the present, examining his work in multiple genres.</p>
