About the Book

This volume is designed to further the study of Spanish culture in the broad sense of the network of symbolic systems through which social groups construct and negotiate a sense of identity or identities. The emphasis is on culture as a set of practices rather than as a corpus of texts. The aim is to introduce readers to current theoretical debates in a range of disciplines, as well as to inform them about specific areas of twentieth-century Spanish culture. The four sections on 'Ethnicity and Migration', 'Gender', 'Popular Culture', and 'The Local and the Global' cover ethnography, music, TV, advertising, popular literature, medical discourse, film, posters, museums, and urban development.

Review :
Review from other book by this author The authors include both established and young academics and the essays are readable and informative./Forum for Modern Language Studies 35 : 4 1999 `a challenge to Hispanists to broaden our perspectives and a practical aid in our everyday teaching and research ... a major contribution to resources for the study of twentieth-century Spain ... The editors are to be complimented on their thoughtful use of illustrations ... a brilliantly-conceived and well-executed volume which will no doubt be indispensable to all students, teachers and enthusiasts of Spanish culture.' Kathryn Crameri, JHR 4 (1995-1996) `I look forward to using this text; a book dealing so comprehensively with such a wide range of issues is well overdue.' Cathy Warshall, Staffordshire University `Because of the scope and quality of its approach this is a textbook which lays the foundations for Spanish Cultural Studies ... The volume is both informative and accessible and will become a key reference work for a large spectrum of curricular disciplines and comparative courses.' Tesserae `Because of the scope and quality of its approach this is a textbook which lays the foundations for Spanish Cultural Stuies and marks the entry of this discipline into a movement within the humanities long established in other academic departments and especially dominant in Latin-American studies. The volume is both informative and accessible and will become a key reference work for a large spectrum of curricular disciplines and comparative courses.' Xon De Ros, King's College, London, Tesserae 2 (1996) `the breadth of the fields and topics covered is to be applauded, for the book is in fact tightly structured ... The need for brevity in each article has forced a concise style upon the authors who have pared down and concentrated their material, which makes for a stimulating read. The book is enlivened by apt illustrations with useful explanatory captions, a good glossary and politico-cultural chronology. Altogether a must for the Reading List.' Monica Threlfall, Loughborough University, Journal of Area Studies 9: 1996
