{"title":"The resituated rural: exploring narratives beyond the empty Spain","authors":"Enric Castelló","doi":"10.1080/14636204.2023.2272044","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14636204.2023.2272044","url":null,"abstract":"The controversies surrounding the rural have generated a lively discussion in Spain. Notions of “empty Spain” have gained momentum since the second half of the 2010s while the mainstream media have continued to replicate negative stereotypes and narratives about the countryside: the lack of opportunities, abandoned villages, economic depression and impoverished cultural life. These clichés, though grounded in the difficult realities of these spaces, come from a background of stigmatized depictions of the rural. However, these mainstream narratives may conceal alternative perspectives that allow new representations. The author proposes the notion of the resituated rural to refer to these new narratives and identifies three markers: the determination to leave behind victimization; the rejection of rural stereotyping; and the commitment to values rooted in cultural identities, sustainability concerns, social justice and gender equity. To illustrate this notion, the author reviews cultural works ranging from novels and feature films to documentaries about agriculture and nature, as well as magazines producing quality journalism on a variety of media platforms and social networks. The article argues that the resituated rural provides alternatives to hegemonic storytelling, avoids polarized apocalyptic or idyllic scenarios and explains the Spanish countryside as a “livable space”, thus offering critical insights for the construction of acceptable futures.","PeriodicalId":44289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spanish Cultural Studies","volume":"9 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135479999","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}

Con él, su autor inaugura la filosofía de la liberación en el Archipiélago Canario desde un enfoque que combina las tesis marxistas con el psicoanálisis freudiano. En este artículo se propone una genealogía crítica de su obra, la cual plantea sus límites a la vez que revindica su potencial para comprender la realidad de las Islas desde un punto de vista descolonial. A través del análisis de algunos de sus planteamientos fundamentales, como la negación de la africanidad de Canarias, el papel subalterno que este archipiélago ocupa en el sistema mundial capitalista o la incidencia que el racismo y el clasismo tienen en su sociedad, se evalúa críticamente el proceso de construcción de su conciencia e identidad colectivas. Se concluye afirmando que Alemán marca un antes y un después en el pensamiento canario, abriendo espacios inéditos para la reflexión y la praxis en un territorio cuyo futuro aún contempla la posibilidad de su descolonización.PALABRAS CLAVE: CanariasmarxismopsicoanálisiscolonialidadManuel Alemán AgradecimientosQuiero expresar mi gratitud a los investigadores Daniel Barreto y José Miguel Perera por su atenta lectura de este trabajo y las inestimables sugerencias que hicieron sobre sus contenidos.

Están situadas al costado noroccidental de África y poseen importantes vínculos culturales con Latinoamérica, especialmente con el Caribe. Ello es debido a que la historia del archipiélago tiene numerosos elementos en común con dichos territorios, como que su conquista y colonización tuviera lugar durante el siglo XV o que las Islas sirvieron desde entonces como puesto avanzado para el flujo de bienes y población entre África, América y Europa. La presencia en ellas en distintos periodos de emisarios de los principales proyectos imperiales las ha convertido, como diría Juan Bosch, en una “frontera imperial” de Occidente en el Norte de África (ver Gil Citation2022, 34).

La Segunda Celestina de Feliciano de Silva (1534) sigue con la caracterización de las discípulas de la alcahueta, Elicia y Areúsa, e introduce un personaje nuevo, la prostituta de burdel Palana. A través de estas figuras podemos observar las dos caras de la prostitución en el siglo XVI: la prostitución pública, tolerada e incluso potenciada por las autoridades, y la prostitución clandestina, perseguida por la ley. La caracterización de estas mujeres y la concepción que tiene de ellas el resto de personajes son dicotómicas: las clandestinas son descritas como mujeres bellas que pertenecen a una clase superior a la de Palana, una vieja “borracha, bellaca y establera”. Este artículo quiere analizar estas dos realidades con el objetivo de llevar a cabo una primera aproximación a la caracterización de la prostituta literaria. Se observarán las similitudes y divergencias entre ellas para contribuir a la fijación de una tipología de los personajes femeninos marginales de la literatura, en este caso, del personaje de la prostituta, que permita entender de una forma más amplia al tipo de la ramera y al ciclo celestinesco.PALABRAS CLAVE: Segunda CelestinaFeliciano de Silvacelestinescaprostitutatipología Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).FinanciaciónEste artículo está financiado por el programa predoctoral de formación de personal investigador no doctor del Departamento de Educación del Gobierno Vasco.

{"title":"Becoming white(r): skin-whitening creams for white women? Contradictory cosmetics in early twentieth-century Spain","authors":"Monica Lindsay-Pérez","doi":"10.1080/14636204.2023.2272039","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14636204.2023.2272039","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThe market for skin-whitening creams in Spain exploded in the early twentieth century. Marketing whiteness presented a particular challenge because of the contradictory nature of the pursuit: if even white people had to strive for whiteness, it was surely exposed as a construction, rather than a natural state of being. Skin-whitening products thus went against the “ordinary, neutral, even universal” manner in which whiteness was traditionally represented, as outlined in Dyer’s White (2017, xvi). How could skin-whitening creams sell whiteness without stripping it of the invisibility that made it so powerful? To add to the challenge, marketing whiteness presented a particular problem in Spain, a country so sensitive about its whiteness. Studying the changes in the advertising approaches of two case studies in Spain, Crema Tokalon and Cera Aseptina, reveals that the term blanquear was introduced very gradually, only appearing explicitly as a unique selling point in 1930. By 1933, it was removed almost as quickly as it was added. Despite this retraction, I argue that the colour white remained central to the appeal of skin-whitening products in Spain. Whiteness had not become unsellable; rather, it had become invisible, woven into other desirable traits, such as religiosity, cleanliness and suitability for marriage.KEYWORDS: Skin-whiteningSpaincosmeticsadvertisingwhiteness AcknowledgementsI am deeply indebted to my PhD supervisors: Professor Jo Labanyi, Dr. Kirsten Lloyd and Dr. Julius Ruiz.

By offering locals’ perspectives on lives tied to the excesses of low-cost tourism, the film traces their respective desires to withstand, break and transform the Faustian pact through which this part of Calvià municipality has made its living. Tourism infrastructure visually organizes the picture, with one space in particular – the hotel balcony – playing an important aesthetic and thematic role. Yet, while the overt references to balconing – the often-fatal tourist practice of jumping into a pool from one’s room – seem to parrot media-driven coverage, I argue that Blanca’s picture instead offers a counternarrative that challenges stereotypes by destabilizing the traditional tourist gaze through the mise-en-scène. By further cloaking his critique in the supernatural, the director plays with documentary tropes in a way that spurs the viewer to think about tourism beyond the news. In giving space to individual local voices and experiences, he lets us explore the deep affect that the tourist landscapes evoke in a constituency that is all too often left outside the frame.","PeriodicalId":44289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spanish Cultural Studies","volume":"232 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136103761","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}
