Cultural Criticism

Insurrección Cultural explora los distintos panoramas (culturales, ecológicos, naturales) para encontrar un camino a seguir: la construcción de una ecología de la cultura. Jonathan Nossiter se inspira en la viticultura rebelde y en el gesto fraternal de muchos productores de vino natural que hace tiempo vienen generando nuevas propuestas para una mejora de la calidad de vida y de la cultura, artesanos de la tierra, verdaderos artistas que volvieron a retomar el papel de la protesta, la disidencia, últimamente abandonado por los artistas.

Award-winning author Colm Tóibín turns his incisive gaze to three of the world's greatest writers, Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats, and James Joyce, and their earliest influences: their fathers. In Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know, Colm Tóibín illuminates not only the complex relationships between three of the greatest writers in the English language and their fathers, but also illustrates the surprising ways they surface in their work.

Monica Jones was Philip Larkin's partner for more than four decades and was arguably the most important woman in his life. She was cruelly immortalised as Margaret Peel in Kingsley Amis's Lucky Jim and widely vilified for destroying Larkin's diaries and works in progress after his death. She was opinionated and outspoken, widely disliked by his friends and Philip himself was routinely unfaithful to her. But Monica Jones was also a brilliant academic and an inspiring teacher in her own right.
