Book Description
The term “gastrocracy” refers to the appropriation of discourses and practices related to the sourcing, preparation, distribution, and consumption of food for political purposes. The intersections of gastronomy and governance, dating in Spain to the last quarter of the nineteenth century, have become highly visible over the past decade, when political debates around nationalism in its different forms have taken the guise of discussions about regional and local cuisines. Concomitant with the rise of the “slow food” movement and following UNESCO’s addition in 2011 of “Gastronomic Meal of the French” to its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, public and private associations all around Spain have been established with the goal of achieving recognition by UNESCO for Spanish, Catalan, and other national cuisines. In 2016, Gastro Marca España—an association and a web portal—was launched to raise the profile of food in Spain’s national brand. Eliciting wide public participation, co-opted for political purposes, regarded as a factor of economic development on any scale, and integrated into every so-called banal nationalism, the production, distribution, and consumption of food are highly relevant for historical analysis. Seeking to encourage a broader discussion about Peninsular gastrocracies, this book brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars from different sides of the Atlantic and the Pacific who have spearheaded research on gastronomy and governance in Spain.

Book Description
In the continuing U.S. debate over illegal immigration, a human face has rarely been shown. The topic has been presented as a monolithic abstraction, a creation of statistics, political rhetoric, and fear. This collection of letters between undocumented immigrants in California and their families back home reveals the other side of the story. Published for the first time in paperback, Between the Lines reveals the often poignant human drama currently being played out along the U.S.-Mexico border. The letters, presented in Spanish and English, express powerful feelings of hope, uncertainty, and fear among the undocumented travelers as they arrive in the United States and seek work, social support and legal status. The letters from their families in Mexico, Guatemala, and El Salvador return feelings of hope, love, and support. Translator/editor Siems provides a powerful and lyrical introductory essay that sets the stage for the letters that follow.

Book Description
Es muy curioso el modo en que empleamos las palabras. Hay un diccionario secreto que cada uno guarda en su corazón, como un eco feliz o sombrío de un sonido que encierra significados difíciles de comunicar. Mientras suponemos que hablamos deslizándonos sobre un código compartido, todos guardamos sentidos propios que los demás ignoran. Esta sensible percepción impulsó una serie de encuentros convocados por un verbo: “comer”, “pensar”, “amar”. Se invitó a personas de diversas disciplinas a contar lo que esa palabra significaba para ellas. La experiencia resultó de una intensidad impensada, los significados estallaron, y por algún motivo –o por muchos– el encuentro “Comer” fue uno de los más convocantes y de los más intensos. Patrica Aguirre, Mónica Katz y Matías Bruera hicieron detonar muchas certezas, y así nació este libro. Aquí está la palabra impresa para acceder a ella con la pausa reflexiva que la lectura permite, para volver sobre estas ideas todas las veces que sea necesario. Para el disfrute, pues el pensamiento también es una forma de la belleza. Porque aunque tengamos la sensación de que vivimos atormentados por la estupidez, aún hay personas que pueden sustraerse a la trivialidad imperante, y lectores dispuestos a compartir esa vivencia.

Book Description
This volume explores the concepts of reference and identity in public discourses. Its contributions study discourse-specific reference and labelling patterns, both from a historical and present-day perspective, and discuss their impact on self- and other-representation in the construction of identity. They combine multiple methodological approaches, including corpus-based quantitative as well as qualitative ones, and apply them to a range of text types that are or were (intended to be) public, such as letters, newspapers, parliamentary debates, and online communication in the form of reader comments, discussion pages, and tweets. In addition to English, the languages studied include Polish as well as European and Latin American Spanish. The volume is aimed at researchers from different research paradigms in linguistics and related disciplines, such as media communication or the social and cultural sciences, who are interested in the interplay of reference and identity.
