Dark Laughter

Spanish Film, Comedy, and the Nation

By: Juan F. Egea

In Dark Laughter, Juan F. Egea provides a remarkable in-depth analysis of the dark comedy film genre in Spain, as well as a provocative critical engagement with the idea of national cinema, the visual dimension of cultural specificity, and the ethics of dark humor. Egea begins his analysis with General Franco's dictatorship in the 1960s—a regime that opened the country to new economic forces while maintaining its repressive nature—exploring key works by Luis García Berlanga, Marco Ferreri, Fernando Fernán-Gómez, and Luis Buñuel. Dark Laughter then moves to the first films of Pedro Almodóvar in the early 1980s during the Spanish political transition to democracy before examining Alex de la Iglesia and the new dark comedies of the 1990s. Analyzing this younger generation of filmmakers, Egea traces dark comedy to Spain's displays of ultramodernity such as the Universal Exposition in Seville and the Barcelona Olympic Games. At its core, Dark Laughter is a substantial inquiry into the epistemology of comedy, the intricacies of visual modernity, and the relationship between cinema and a wider framework of representational practices.

Framing Europe

Attitudes to European Integration in Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom

By: Juan Díez Medrano

This book provides a major empirical analysis of differing attitudes to European integration in three of Europe's most important countries: Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom. From its beginnings, the European Union has resounded with debate over whether to move toward a federal or intergovernmental system. However, Juan Díez Medrano argues that empirical analyses of support for integration--by specialists in international relations, comparative politics, and survey research--have failed to explain why some countries lean toward federalism whereas others lean toward intergovernmentalism. By applying frame analysis to a unique set of primary sources (in-depth interviews, newspaper articles, novels, history texts, political speeches, and survey data), Díez Medrano demonstrates the role of major historical events in transforming national cultures and thus creating new opportunities for political transformation. Clearly written and rigorously argued, Framing Europe explains differences in support for European integration between the three countries studied in light of the degree to which each realized its particular "supranational project" outside Western Europe. Only the United Kingdom succeeded in consolidating an empire and retaining it after World War II, while Germany and Spain each abandoned their corresponding aspirations. These differences meant that these countries' populations developed different degrees of identification as Europeans and, partly in consequence, different degrees of support for the building of a federal Europe.

Ideas y poder

30 biografías del siglo XX

By: Juan Pablo Fusi

Las grandes tormentas ideológicas han empezado con las ideas, recuerda Isaiah Berlin, y los grandes hechos históricos del siglo xx son un reflejo de ello. La igualdad, el psicoanálisis, el feminismo, el fascismo, el comunismo, el europeísmo, la relatividad... La acción histórica requiere siempre, además, algún nivel de organización articulada a través de decisiones y actos individuales. La historia, escribió Carlyle, no es sino la esencia de innumerables biografías. Las recogidas en este libro son en muchos sentidos claves necesarias para entender y explicar el siglo XX. Aparecen, entre otras, personalidades tan fundamentales como Freud, Pankhurst, Trotski, Einstein, Keynes, Ortega y Gasset, Hitler, Churchill, Gandhi, Mao Zedong, Jean Monnet, Ben-Gurión, Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Martin Luther King, Mandela, Hannah Arendt, Isaiah Berlin... Cada una de sus vidas refleja su personalidad, su capacidad de liderazgo, sus ideas y el contexto en el que se desarrollaron, de manera que cada biografía aspira a ofrecer, siguiendo a Dilthey, "el hecho histórico fundamental, de una manera pura, completa, en su realidad".
