New Readings in Latin American and Spanish Literary and Cultural Studies


Book Description

Presenting and interrogating an array of texts and discourses, this collection brings into focus a broad range of topics whose common denominator is the intersection between cultural productions and politics in different moments of the history of Latin America and Spain. From the struggles of class distinction, identity and community in 19th and 20th century and contemporary Latin America as explored in photography, literature and film, to how political and sexual transgressions from medieval times to the present are portrayed in Hispanic literature, and the ways that canonical and non-canonical texts in Spain have been defying hegemonic power relations in the 20th century and beyond. This volume provides fresh approaches from well-established scholars, as well as from a new generation of researchers whose works enlighten the reader about the rich facets of such intersections. This publication also offers a background to pursue further research in these areas and to serve the general public interested in Latin American and Spanish literary and cultural studies, and those seeking a greater understanding of social and economic change in both Latin America and Spain: specifically, issues of inclusion and citizenship; the constraints on state power in the neoliberal era; the strategies used by texts to create subjects that are not bound to conventional identity formations; and the challenges and possibilities of subverting the gaze of the institutional spectator.

Calidad en sitios web


Book Description

Calidad, evaluación, análisis, sitios web? ¿Qué tienen en común todas estas palabras clave para que merezcan la atención del público de esta colección? El punto que lo une todo es la necesidad de un amplio y a la vez muy diverso colectivo profesional de saber qué es lo que hace que un sitio web responda a criterios de calidad. Pongamos el ejemplo de un profesional de la web que recibe el encargo de auditar los sitios web de una empresa de comercio electrónico: quiere estar segura de que está a la altura de sus competidores internacionales; o el de un equipo de investigadores académicos que se pregunta cómo están incorporando las webs de turismo las más recientes posibilidades de interacción debidas a la web 2.0. Lo que tienen en común escenarios y objetivos tan diversos es que, en todos ellos, sus protagonistas necesitarán disponer de alguna herramienta que los ayude a determinar qué necesitan saber en relación con una web determinada o un conjunto de sitios web. Este libro intenta aportar esos instrumentos.
