Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Reform and Its Complexities in Modern Britain

The essays in this volume, taken together, span the era of British history from 1780 to the present that has engrossed the attention of Brian Harrison in a career of more than fifty years. In keeping with his diverse interests, they vary widely in subject matter. Yet each contributes, in some fashion, to an appreciation of the complexities of reform in modern Britain. Throughout his career Harrison has demonstrated an unwavering interest in social movements and pressure groups. He has analysed the organisation of reform movements and their bases of support; explored the aspirations and beliefs motivating individuals to start or join such movements; and examined the ideas and ideals shaping their conception of human improvement. No one has done more to show that the significance of a reform movement's triumphs and disappointments can be grasped only in relation to the forces amassed to resist its claims. The essays gathered here, on the Harrisonian theme of reform and its complexities, form an acknowledgment of the massive mark their honouree has made on the study of modern British history. They are preceded by a Foreword composed by Keith Thomas and an editorial Introduction tracing the course of Harrison's scholarship and connecting that scholarship to the substance of the essays. The volume encompasses both wide-ranging analytical investigations and telling case studies. All have new things to say on the subject of reform and its complexities in modern Britain.

Los garcas

Libro Los garcas

“Un garca es una persona que tiene gravemente perturbadas sus relaciones con la alteridad. Un garca establece con los demás, con el otro, una relación de sujeción y explotación y, en cualquier caso, de prejuicio y perjuicio.” La palabra garca, construida en el revés característico del lunfardo, tiene una variedad de significados en el lenguaje popular. Sin embargo, este libro anclará uno, a la vez político y sociológico en la medida en que considera que la palabra pasa a describir una tipología nacional. Dicen los autores con una claridad que el lector agradece que el...

Las estrategias de la imaginación

Libro Las estrategias de la imaginación

Juan Cano Ballesta estudia en lúcidos y rigurosos ensayos -con gran despliegue teórico y documental, de figuras y textos- el discurso político de años muy turbulentos de nuestra historia. La utopía es un eficaz recurso retórico que “recorre todo el espectro intelectual de la modernidad” (Calinescu) para suscitar simpatías por una causa. Si las ideologías de izquierda cantaban la “aurora roja” como el soñado paraíso que iba a traer la revolución, la Falange invocaba insistentemente el feliz “amanecer” y el “imperio” en el ensayo, la poesía, el periodismo y en los...
