Through contextual analysis and a disability studies approach, this article examines El doctor Wolski’s interrogation of medical genealogies and restrictions of reproductive rights, drawing attention to Casanova’s awareness of the potential for eugenic initiatives to target women and the lower classes. The article concludes that El doctor Wolski not only anticipates the full-fledged eugenic debates that would develop in the following decades, but also refutes specific eugenic strategies and offers a vision of social progress that values ethics of care and includes a future for subjects with incurable illnesses.","PeriodicalId":42561,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic Research Journal-Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"22 1","pages":"595 - 613"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41672678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Marsé himself has talked extensively in interviews about his passion for Hollywood cinema and the important role it played during his childhood in Barcelona. Critics such as Samuel Amell, Kwang-Hee Kim, and Jorge Marí have studied the influence of cinema on Marsé’s writing, both aesthetically and in terms of subject-matter. One aspect of Marsé’s relationship to twentieth-century cinema culture that has been overlooked by scholars, however, is his engagement with the medium’s Orientalism. Hollywood cinema has a long and sustained history of employing orientalist tropes and capitalizing on the widespread yellow peril discourse. An analysis of three of Marsé’s most critically-acclaimed novels, Si te dicen que caí (1973), El amante bilingue (1990), and El embrujo de Shanghai (1993), demonstrates how Marsé has recycled transnational tropes associated with the yellow peril, such as the figure of Fu Manchu, in ways that address concerns particular to the twentieth-century Spanish and Catalan contexts. Using Homay King’s theorization of orientalist mise-en-scène, this article argues that Marsé employs tropes borrowed from Hollywood cinema to highlight questions of identity, truth, and survival, themes that constitute an important through line in his writing.","PeriodicalId":42561,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic Research Journal-Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"22 1","pages":"614 - 630"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47965357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Not only did these years witness the transition from an absolute monarchy to a liberal parliamentary system, but Spanish liberals also began to divide into several factions, leading to uprisings and several changes in government. At the same time, the nation had to fend off the military advances of the anti-liberal Carlists in the North. This article compares and contrasts two novels from the period that chronicle this turbulence: Los cortesanos y la revolución (1838–39) by Eugenio de Tapia and El poeta y el banquero (1842) by Pedro Mata. It examines how these works represent and comment on the upheaval of the period through their plot, structure, and character systems. What elements of this political transition are included or omitted in the two novels? How do they analyse these historical changes? Finally, what relationship do they establish between revolution and romanticism, the dominant aesthetic of the period?","PeriodicalId":42561,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic Research Journal-Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"22 1","pages":"559 - 577"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46692585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By reading lesser-known images alongside his more canonical production, I argue that his wider archive in fact shows a gradated engagement with the racial complexities of late-colonial Mozambique and provides a key source of material for a post-colonial analysis of its capital, Lourenço Marques. To wit, Rangel’s images permit both a nuanced reflection on his own intermedial status and a critique of colonialism that goes beyond the sheer fact of native exploitation and marginalization.","PeriodicalId":42561,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic Research Journal-Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"22 1","pages":"517 - 541"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41318959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Once the star work of King Louis-Philippe’s Galerie Espagnole (1838–48), where it captured the attention of art critics, painters, and poets, the painting was acquired by the National Gallery, London, in 1853. This essay seeks to sharpen our understanding of Zurbarán’s artistic construction of the work through an exploration of its various ambiguities. It argues that the tensions between surface and depth, so prominent in the painting, operate both visually and metaphorically. Adopting the practice of “slow looking”—a sustained and engaged visual analysis to produce a nuanced interpretation—this essay illuminates how the painting shapes its own reading as a commentary on the problem of sight.","PeriodicalId":42561,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic Research Journal-Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"22 1","pages":"414 - 438"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44442589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

El trigo que se muestra es el candeal o harinero, apreciado por su alta calidad para hacer pan blanco, aut entico signo de distinci on como gran parte de los alimentos representados. Seguidamente se trata del agua y el vino, indagando la procedencia y elaboraci on de tan preciados l ıquidos, su consumo, la vajilla... En cuanto a las carnes y el queso, a pesar de la importancia del cerdo, su consumo en Sevilla fue inferior al del ganado ovino y bovino: la vaca era la m as barata y popular de todas las carnes mientras la ternera era la m as cotizada. No obstante, cochinillo, cordero lechal y cabrito eran las carnes tiernas y sabrosas al alcance solo de las clases pudientes; entre los platos especiales, estaban las manitas. El estudio sigue por la caza, la volateria, pescados y marisco, verduras y hortalizas, fruta fresca y frutos secos, para terminar con dulces y pasteles. Entre las ausencias se encuentran sorprendentemente la aceituna —con su derivado el aceite—, y las legumbres. Estas carencias parecen debidas a motivos culturales: la asociaci on de la cocina del aceite a las comunidades musulmana y jud ıa, al estar vedado el consumo del cerdo y sus derivados, fue raz on para que en ocasiones la estigmatizara la comunidad cristiana aunque Sevilla fue desde la colonizaci on fenicia un gran centro productor y exportador de aceite y el cabildo era propietario de grandes olivares. En cuanto a las legumbres, se consideraban la carne de los pobres —estigma que las ha acompa~ nado tambi en hasta epoca reciente—, siendo el garbanzo la m as consumida dada la alta producci on local; recu erdese la repugnancia que sinti o Richard Ford por el cocido. La dieta, claramente mediterr anea, ofrece los alimentos que se establecieron durante la romanizaci on y los producidos por las mejoras introducidas por los arabes —az ucar, naranja amarga, lim on, berenjena y alcachofa—; y se apuntan los grandes descubrimientos que ir ıan ampliando la variedad de alimentos como la gallina de Guinea, reintroducida por los portugueses, y los pimientos americanos aportados por Col on tras su primer viaje.
