Book Synopsis Per una casa gran del catalanisme by : Artur Mas
Download or read book Per una casa gran del catalanisme written by Artur Mas and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aquest llibre del líder de Convergència Democràtica de Catalunya conté alhora una reflexió i una proposta. L'autor convida, d'una banda, a repensar la trajectòria històrica, l'abast i el futur del catalanisme en aquest inici del nou segle. I, de l'altra, conscient de la necessitat de cercar una sortida que permeti superar la fase actual del projecte autonòmic, proposa els camins que han de permetre, en un horitzó no llunyà, que Catalunya pugui exercir el dret a decidir sobre el seu futur. L'obra és també una invitació a cercar, a través d'allò que anomena la Casa Gran del catalanisme, el màxim consens nacional que faci possible l'avenç del país -tant des del punt de vista nacional com del de l'estat del benestar- cap a un futur millor. Aquest llibre constitueix, doncs, una de les a-portacions conceptuals i una de les propostes més sòlides que hagi fet, en els darrers anys, un dirigent català amb una alta responsabilitat política.

Book Synopsis The Politics of Chemistry by : Agustí Nieto-Galan
Download or read book The Politics of Chemistry written by Agustí Nieto-Galan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agust Nieto-Galan argues that chemistry in the twentieth century was deeply and profoundly political. Far from existing in a distinct public sphere, chemical knowledge was applied in ways that created strong links with industrial and military projects, and national rivalries and international endeavours, that materially shaped the living conditions of millions of citizens. It is within this framework that Nieto-Galan analyses how Spanish chemists became powerful ideological agents in different political contexts, from liberal to dictatorial regimes, throughout the century. He unveils chemists' position of power in Spain, their place in international scientific networks, and their engagement in fierce ideological battles in an age of extremes. Shared discourses between chemistry and liberalism, war, totalitarianism, religion, and diplomacy, he argues, led to advancements in both fields.

Book Synopsis Spanish in Bilingual and Multilingual Settings around the World by : Gregory Thompson
Download or read book Spanish in Bilingual and Multilingual Settings around the World written by Gregory Thompson and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook is unique in its focus on bilingual theories, issues on the teaching of bilinguals, bilingual policies abroad, and current research on bilinguals as all of this related in some way to the Spanish-speaking world. There is currently no other book like it available, despite the growing number of courses teaching Spanish Bilingualism. It is anticipated that this new handbook will be of great interest to linguists, sociolinguists, language acquisitionists, as well as teachers who deal with topics relating to bilingualism as it relates to Spanish speakers around the world. Though work has been done looking at bilingualism and multilingualism, this book provides a valuable addition that deals with an area where a comprehensive work such as this is indeed lacking.

Book Synopsis A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula by : Fernando Cabo Aseguinolaza
Download or read book A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula written by Fernando Cabo Aseguinolaza and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2010-05-26 with total page 766 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula is the second comparative history of a new subseries with a regional focus, published by the Coordinating Committee of the International Comparative Literature Association. As its predecessor for East-Central Europe, this two-volume history distances itself from traditional histories built around periods and movements, and explores, from a comparative viewpoint, a space considered to be a powerful symbol of inter-literary relations. Both the geographical pertinence and its symbolic condition are obviously discussed, when not even contested. Written by an international team of researchers who are specialists in the field, this history is the first attempt at applying a comparative approach to the plurilingual and multicultural literatures in the Iberian Peninsula. The aim of comprehensiveness is abandoned in favor of a diverse and extensive array of key issues for a comparative agenda. A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula undermines the primacy claimed for national and linguistic boundaries, and provides a geo-cultural account of literary inter-systems which cannot otherwise be explained.
Book Synopsis Escribir la catalanidad by : Stewart King
Download or read book Escribir la catalanidad written by Stewart King and published by Tamesis Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the interaction of language, culture and identity in contemporary Catalonia and rejects the exclusion of Castilian as a language capable of expressing 'Catalan-ness'. This study, charting the construction of a Catalan identity from the nineteenth-century cultural renaissance until the present day, explores the interaction of language, culture and identity in contemporary Catalonia. Drawing on postcolonial and multicultural literary theories, it argues that Castilian- and Catalan-language narratives are expressions of the same culture. Through detailed analyses of texts by Terenci Moix, Francisco Candel, Ignasi Riera, Montserrat Roig, Juan Marsé, Ramon Pallicé, and Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, among others, the author demonstrates that such writers share similar preoccupations and points of view and also engage in a complex literary and cultural dialogue that cuts across the established linguistic divisions that characterise cultural politics in Catalonia. The Catalan literary establishment's exclusion of Castilian as a language capable of expressing 'Catalan-ness' ischallenged and the author proposes redefining traditional understandings of Catalan literature to take into account texts produced by all members of Catalan society. Stewart King is a lecturer in Hispanic Studies at Monash University, Australia.
Book Synopsis Formació del Sistema Disseny Barcelona (1914-2014), un camí de modernitat, La. Assaigs d'història local by : Anna Calvera
Download or read book Formació del Sistema Disseny Barcelona (1914-2014), un camí de modernitat, La. Assaigs d'història local written by Anna Calvera and published by Edicions Universitat Barcelona. This book was released on 2014-04-11 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Els precedents del disseny gràfic a Catalunya es remunten a les primeres dècades del segle xx, quan les arts de la modernitat vivien un moment de maduresa (cartellisme, gràfica, perfumeria, interiorisme, entre d’altres) i els artistes catalans participaven amb entusiasme en les avantguardes europees. Tots aquests fenòmens són tractats a La formació del Sistema Disseny Barcelona, com també la implementació de la indústria, l’aparició d’institucions creades pels dissenyadors i la reivindicació d’una professió que aspirava a convertir-se en disciplina, les quals han obert noves perspectives històriques i ens ofereixen una lectura transversal de l’evolució recent d’aquest art. Aquest llibre no sols aplega aportacions de procedències diverses, sinó que és, sens dubte, una obra de referència per a entendre el paper del disseny en un dels països en què gaudeix de més bona acollida.

Download or read book Waltz written by Francesc Trabal and published by Dalkey Archive Press. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An occasionally absurd comedy of indecision and indolence from a maverick early modern. First published in 1936, and considered one of the most innovative and significant novels written in Catalan, Waltz tells the tale of an idle, introspective, and somewhat oblivious young “man without qualities” as he stumbles through a milieu of civic upheaval and bourgeois tragedy as he waltzes from one prospective bride to another, never willing to compromise his ideals, and so never quite becoming an adult. With one foot in the romanticism of Goethe or Kleist, and another in the wildly differing takes on the modern novel provided by Aldous Huxley, James Joyce, and Marcel Proust, respectively, Waltz is an occasionally absurd comedy of indecision and indolence structured in imitation of the dance from which it takes its title.

Book Synopsis Manual of Catalan Linguistics by : Joan A. Argenter
Download or read book Manual of Catalan Linguistics written by Joan A. Argenter and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 796 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual is intended to fill a gap in the area of Romance studies. There is no introduction available so far that broadly covers the field of Catalan linguistics, neither in Catalan nor in any other language. The work deals with the language spoken in Catalonia and Andorra, the Balearic Islands, the region of Valencia, Northern Catalonia and the town of l'Alguer in Sardinia. Besides introducing the ideologies of language and nation and the history of Catalan linguistics, the manual is divided into separate parts embracing the description – grammar, lexicon, variation and varieties – and the history of the language since the early medieval period to the present day. It also covers its current social and political situation in the new local and global contexts. The main emphasis is placed on modern Catalan. The manual is designed as a companion for students of Catalan, while also introducing specialists of other languages into this field, in particular scholars of Romance languages.
