Book Description
Catalonia Un país conegut pel seu esperit competitiu Durant els últims 300 anys, Catalonia ha estat una regió singular d'Europa. Ni espanyola, ni francesa: catalana. La seva singularitat és evident per la llengua, tot i que és molt més real per la forma que té de plantejar-se el comerç, el desenvolupament econòmic, l'educació i la política. Catalonia va ser una de les primeres regions del món que va adoptar una metodologia enfocada a estimular la competitivitat en una zona geogràfica concreta, millorant l'estratègia i el context laboral de les seves empreses. Actualment, hi ha arguments econòmics i empresarials de pes per defensar la independència de Catalonia. Històricament, el desenvolupament de Califòrnia deu molt a Catalonia i a dos catalans, Juníper Serra i Gaspar de Portolà. El 16 de juliol de 1769, Serra va iniciar la seva primera missió a San Diego, abans de dur-ne a terme nou més tot resseguint la costa californiana fins a San Francisco. Gaspar de Portolà va néixer a Os de Balaguer (Lleida) l'any 1716, era soldat i va ser governador de Califòrnia.

Phonographic Encounters
Author: Elodie A. Roy
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000427293
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
This cross-disciplinary volume illuminates the history of early phonography from a transnational perspective, recovering the myriad sites, knowledge practices, identities and discourses which dynamically shaped early recording cultures. With case studies from China, Australia, the United States, Latin America, Russia, Sweden, Germany, Spain, Portugal, France, and Italy, Phonographic Encounters explores moments of interaction and encounter, as well as tensions, between local and global understandings of recording technologies. Drawing on an array of archival sources often previously unavailable in English, it moves beyond western-centric narratives of early phonography and beyond the strict confines of the recording industry. Contributions from media history, musicology, popular music studies, cultural studies, area studies and the history of science and technology make this book a key and innovative resource for understanding early phonography against the backdrop of colonial and global power relations.

Feeding Barcelona, 1714-1975
Author: Montserrat Miller
Publisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 0807156485
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
The food markets of Barcelona host thousands of customers daily, from tourists eager to sample fresh fruits and grilled seafood to neighborhood cooks in search of high-quality ingredients. While other countries experienced major shifts away from the public-market model in the twentieth century, Barcelona's food markets remained fundamental to the city's identity, economy, and culture. Montserrat Miller's Feeding Barcelona, 1714-1975 examines the causes behind the extraordinary vibrancy and tenacity of the Barcelonan market system. Miller argues that recurrent revolutionary uprisings in Barcelona, beginning in the mid-eighteenth century, forced ongoing collaboration between the public and private sectors to ensure adequate and effective food distribution. Municipal support permitted small-scale food sellers in Barcelona to survive in a period more commonly characterized by increasing capitalization in food retail, while the importance of food markets to Barcelona's social networks enhanced vendors' ability to recognize and adapt to changing customer demands. In addition, a high number of stalls owned by women contributed both to the financial well-being of vendor families and to the sociability patterns that placed neighborhood food markets at the center of daily life in the city. The shared commitment of vendors, shoppers, and government officials to a market model of food sales created the lasting and unique market system that persists in Barcelona to this day. Drawing from extensive archival research and numerous interviews with individuals at all levels of the market system, Feeding Barcelona, 1714-1975 is the first detailed history of the historical and social influences that create urban food markets.

Tourism and the Power of Otherness
Author: David Picard
Publisher: Channel View Publications
ISBN: 1845414160
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
This book explores the paradoxes of Self–Other relations in the field of tourism. It particularly focuses on the 'power' of different forms of 'Otherness' to seduce and to disrupt, and, eventually, also to renew the social and cosmological orders of 'modern' culture and everyday life. Drawing on a series of ethnographic case studies, the contributors investigate the production, socialisation and symbolic encompassment of different 'Others' as a political and also an economic resource to govern social life in the present. The volume provides a comparative inductive study on the modernist philosophical concepts of time, 'Otherness', and the self in practice, and relates it to contemporary tourism and mobility.
