Book Description
The acute processes of globalisation at the turn of the century have generated an increased interest in exploring the interactions between the so-called global cultural products or trends and their specific local manifestations. Even though cross-cultural connections are becoming more patent in filmic productions in the last decades, cinema per se has always been characterized by its hybrid, transnational, border-crossing nature. From its own inception, Spanish film production was soon tied to the Hollywood film industry for its subsistence, but other film traditions such as those in the Soviet Union, France, Germany and, in particular, Italy also determined either directly or indirectly the development of Spanish cinema. Global Genres, Local Films: The Transnational Dimension of Spanish Cinema reaches beyond the limits of the film text and analyses and contextualizes the impact of global film trends and genres on Spanish cinema in order to study how they helped articulate specific national challenges from the conflict between liberalism and tradition in the first decades of the 20th century to the management of the contemporary financial crisis. This collection provides the first comprehensive picture of the complex national and supranational forces that have shaped Spanish films, revealing the tensions and the intricate dialogue between cross-cultural aesthetic and narrative models on the one hand, and indigenous traditions on the other, as well as the political and historical contingencies these different expressions responded to.

Book Description
El título de este libro describe, en cierto modo, su contexto de origen: un foro de debate y discusión abierto a distintas aproximaciones al campo de los “estudios culturales” y a la reflexión sobre la validez disciplinaria y la utilidad interpretativa de este tipo de enfoques para el análisis de los fenómenos sociales, políticos y culturales de América Latina. Dichas reflexiones, no obstante, fueron hechas desde el contexto académico español, un espacio de enunciación que hasta muy recientemente ha sido particularmente reacio a la introducción de la in-disciplina que entraña la aproximación inter-trans-disciplinaria a los fenómenos del campo de la cultura propia de los Estudios Culturales. Si bien hoy en día cuenta con un número considerable de partidarios, la realidad sigue siendo la de rechazo, principalmente por parte de las instituciones que regulan los quehaceres académicos en base a un sistema de puntuación y competencias regladas que no contemplan la posibilidad que ofrecen los estudios que sortean esas barreras disciplinares impuestas, condenándoles así al olvido. En este sentido, el presente volumen pretende ser a la vez un compendio de algunas de las principales aportaciones que los estudios culturales y la teoría postcolonial han hecho al campo de los estudios latinoamericanos en las últimas décadas, y también una propuesta y una apuesta a favor de la pertinencia de este tipo de aproximaciones a la hora de abrir nuevos campos de análisis y nuevos debates transdisciplinares en la academia española.

Book Description
The Routledge Hispanic Studies Companion to Early Modern Spanish Literature and Culture introduces the intellectual and artistic breadth of early modern Spain from a range of disciplinary and critical perspectives. Spanning the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (a period traditionally known as the Golden Age), the volume examines topics including political and scientific culture, literary and artistic innovations, and religious and social identities and institutions in transformation. The 36 chapters of the volume include both expert overviews of key topics and figures from the period as well as new approaches to understudied questions and materials. This invaluable resource will be of interest to advanced students and scholars in Hispanic studies, as well as Renaissance and early modern studies more generally.

Book Description
The discovery of the New World raised many questions for early modern scientists: What did these lands contain? Where did they lie in relation to Europe? Who lived there, and what were their inhabitants like? Imperial expansion necessitated changes in the way scientific knowledge was gathered, and Spanish cosmographers in particular were charged with turning their observations of the New World into a body of knowledge that could be used for governing the largest empire the world had ever known. As María M. Portuondo here shows, this cosmographic knowledge had considerable strategic, defensive, and monetary value that royal scientists were charged with safeguarding from foreign and internal enemies. Cosmography was thus a secret science, but despite the limited dissemination of this body of knowledge, royal cosmographers applied alternative epistemologies and new methodologies that changed the discipline, and, in the process, how Europeans understood the natural world.

Book Description
The first comprehensive collection of its kind, this handbook addresses the problem of knowledge production in criminology, redressing the global imbalance with an original focus on the Global South. Issues of vital criminological research and policy significance abound in the Global South, with important implications for South/North relations as well as global security and justice. In a world of high speed communication technologies and fluid national borders, empire building has shifted from colonising territories to colonising knowledge. The authors of this volume question whose voices, experiences, and theories are reflected in the discipline, and argue that diversity of discourse is more important now than ever before. Approaching the subject from a range of historical, theoretical, and social perspectives, this collection promotes the Global South not only as a space for the production of knowledge, but crucially, as a source of innovative research and theory on crime and justice. Wide-ranging in scope and authoritative in theory, this study will appeal to scholars, activists, policy-makers, and students from a wide range of social science disciplines from both the Global North and South, including criminal justice, human rights, and penology.
