Sus temas han pasado a la see more historia del rock y han entrado en el imaginario de varias generaciones: no hay nadie que no tararee «Bohemian Rhapsody», que no cante a voz en grito «We Are The Champions» ni siga el ritmo con «We Will Rock You» cuando suenan en la radio.

This book explores multilingualism as an imaginative articulation of the experience of modernity in twentieth-century Spanish and American literature. It argues that while individual multilingual practices are highly singular, literary multilingualism exceeds the conventional bounds of modernism to become emblematic of the modern age. The book explores the confluence of multilingualism and modernity in the theme of barbarism, examining the significance of this theme to the relationship between see more language and modernity in the Spanish-speaking world, and the work of five authors in particular. These authors – Ramón del Valle-Inclán, Ernest Hemingway, José María Arguedas, Jorge Semprún and Juan Goytisolo – explore the stylistic and conceptual potential of the interaction between languages, including Spanish, French, English, Galician, Quechua and Arabic, their work reflecting the eclecticism of literary multilingualism while revealing its significance as a mode of response to modernity.

In this volume you will find 13 illustrated Popular Tales from the Basque region of Spain. Here you will find tales like Aquelarre, Arguiduna, The Song of Lamia, the Prophecy of Lara, the Virgin of the Five Towns in which mermaids, heroes, magical horns and ghosts abound.

If you have ever travelled through the province of Galicia in North Western Spain, you can’t fail to notice the Celtic influences in the region’s art and culture. So it is therefore not surprising to also find see more the story of Jaun-Zuria - A Prince Of Erin included in this volume.

So take some time out and travel back to a period before television, or even radio for that matter, to a time when families would gather around a crackling and spitting hearth and granddad or grandma,  or an uncle or aunt, would delight and captivate their audience with stories passed on to them from their parents and grandparents.

This collection of Basque legends, fairy tales, ballads, and popular stories having their origin in the ancient traditions which formed a portion of the sacred inheritance bequeathed to the Basque people by their forefathers, and handed down by word of mouth from generation to generation. These tales constitute the archives of the Basque people, the treasures of their science and of their beliefs; they are the records of the lives of their forefathers, the landmarks of the grandeur of their past history.

In the midst of the great revolutions which have agitated the whole of Europe, causing radical changes, levelling to the ground or converting into ruins great empires, powerful nationalities, monuments; sweeping away languages, and even the very races themselves--the Basques have somehow passed unscathed through the many storms of devastation, preserving intact their nationality, institutions, laws, language, and customs.

Descripción / Resumen (Español / Castellano): Con la entrada en vigor de la Ley Orgánica 3/2007 (conocida como la Ley de Igualdad), la imposición de cuotas de representación paritaria en las candidaturas españolas supuso una alteración de la composición de género en la administración local (por ser el nivel más amplio y elemental de la organización política española), en donde los individuos han tenido que reconfigurar y redefinir tanto sus prácticas como su imaginario, para see more adaptarse a un escenario forzosamente heterogéneo.En esta tesis se evalúa el estado de la igualdad de género en la política municipal gallega para conocer en qué medida la Ley de Igualdad ha resultado efectiva para generar entornos de participación igualitaria y, al mismo tiempo, para detectar prácticas encubiertas de discriminación que reduzcan su efectividad.
A través de una metodología desarrollada específicamente para esta investigación, se presenta un análisis detallado de la situación del acceso femenino al poder, así como de las diferentes situaciones de vulnerabilidad con la que se topan las mujeres en las distintas fases del proceso político: desde la selección de candidatos, pasando por la designación de cargos y también en el reparto de la gestión de las áreas municipales. Así, esta tesis contribuye a identificar situaciones potenciales de riesgo para las mujeres surgidas de este nuevo escenario de participación política, para que puedan ser corregidas a partir de la implementación de medidas específicas para reducir la desigualdad y, de este modo, ayudar a conseguir una igualdad de género efectiva.
 Descripción / Resumen (Inglés): The Spanish Organic Law 3/2007, on women and men equality, establishes a double quota of gender representation on electoral lists. This fact changed the gender composition of local governments at the most general and elementary level of the Spanish political organization. Politicians have had to reconfigure and redefine both their practices and their imaginary, to adapt to this new necessarily heterogeneous social stage.
This dissertation evaluates the gender equality situation in Galician local governments in order to know if the Gender Equality Law has been an effective tool to create an equal participation environment. At the same time this research analyzes and discerns covert practices of discrimination against women.
Through a specifically developed methodology, this research presents a detailed analysis of the female access to municipal power, as well as of the different situations of vulnerability in which women are found in the different stages of the political process: from the selection of the candidates, to the appointment of political positions and in the distribution of the management of the work’s areas. This dissertation contributes to identify potential risk situations for women arising from this new stage of gender political participation. In consequence, these bad practices could be corrected through the implementation of specific measures to reduce inequality and, contributing to achieve effective gender equality.
