    The codes of the global in the twenty-first century (2021)
    Publicacions i Edicions de la Universitat de Barcelona
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: At the start of the twenty-first century, the contemporary implies a clear desire to affirm a type of art that is expanding across the globe, challenging old geographical borders, and reclaiming narratives of place and displacement; in other words, new cultural practices that transfigure the relationship between the global and the local, and articulate the discourse of difference. Being in the place of here and now, working with others in simultaneous and specific practice, and contemplating the production of work in the experience of connection means raising the value of the performative aspect of practice and displacing the reflective role of cultural production. In the new cartography of this multifarious global art, the author, who combines theoretical and curatorial discourse with creative practice, defines how global concepts circulate from the critical analysis of transnational contemporary art to the global.

    Arabic manuscripts in the Maronite Library of Aleppo (Syria) (2021)
    Publicacions i Edicions de la Universitat de Barcelona
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: The Maronite Library of Aleppo houses one of the most important collections of manuscripts in the Syrian Arab Republic. Comprising more than 1600 copies, the collection contains many different works on Bible, theology, philosophy, history, grammar, literature and sciences, and a great variety of other subjects. The contents of the Library have long been known to Western researchers, but were never fully catalogued. This work seeks to remedy that situation, as the last in a series of three inventories. The first volume (2008) presented a detailed record and description of the Syriac manuscripts held in the Library, and the second one (2011) did the same for those in Karshuni. Following the model established by those two previous publications, this book presents the Arabic manuscripts of the collection. The author offers a short, concise description of each copy, including title or titles, names of the author and copyist, place and date of the copy, and any formal features useful in the proper identification of the manuscripts. This edition also includes 50 images, and full indices of titles, personal names and places.

    Considering and interpreting leisure: pastimes, entertainments, hobbies and addictions in the Barcelona of 1900 (2021)
    Publicacions i Edicions de la Universitat de Barcelona
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: In the throes of modernization, the Barcelona of 1900 was buzzing with energy and an unprecedented culture of leisure emerged. The city’s residents made full use of their free time, forging relationships with one another through a highly varied range of initiatives and activities, taking advantage of existing opportunities and creating new ones. In addition to the traditional celebration of civic festivals, popular meals and various types of processions, innovative new forms of cultural consumption sprang up to satisfy all tastes and budgets. Numerous cinemas opened, the first amusement parks threw open their gates and new theatres raised their curtains. Thanks to these developments, the vicinity around the avenue Paral·lel became the epicentre of Barcelona nightlife. This book offers a panoply of images of the diversions, entertainments and hobbies of that fascinating era of contrasts, the turn-of-the-century Barcelona of Modernisme.

    Document sobre bioètica i Big Data de salut: explotació i comercialització de les dades dels usuaris de la sanitat pública (2021)
    Publicacions i Edicions de la Universitat de Barcelona
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-01-31
    Description: En aquest volum del Grup d’Opinió de l’Observatori de Bioètica i Dret, coordinat per les doctores María Casado, Maria Rosa Llàcer i Lídia Buisan, s’analitzen, des de la perspectiva bioètica, els inconvenients de l’explotació i la comercialització de dades dels usuaris de la sanitat pública arran dels problemes detectats en el projecte VISC+ de la Generalitat de Catalunya, tant en relació amb possibles vulneracions dels drets dels ciutadans com amb la manca de transparència i de debat públic informat en una qüestió de tanta importància com és el tràfic de dades personals. El document posa de manifest que la implementació de les tecnologies Big Data en l’àmbit sanitari, associada a una eventual comercialització d’aquestes dades, impacta directament en el nostre sistema sanitari i investigador i afecta de ple a l’àmbit privat dels ciutadans.

    LinkAge (2023)
    Publicacions i Edicions de la Universitat de Barcelona
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: The current intersection of long-term economic restructuring and demographic adjustments across Europe has produced major patterns of inequality in the labour market, with a distinctly uneven impact depending on the age of workers. The dismissal of older workers and the blockage of occupational integration of youngsters have led to a dramatic decline of labour market participation at both ends of the age spectrum; a context in which trade unions have become a vital inclusive instrument. LinkAge analyses the extent to which social dialogue represents the interests of younger and older workers in a mapping of six European countries, addressing challenging questions such as: What is the impact of welfare retrenchment policies for these workers? Is a zero-sum approach applied as a cost-distribution strategy? and What are unions’ approaches to tackle age discrimination? Relying on the ethnographic insights from workers, experts, trade unions and employers’ representatives, the research explores the effects of demographic and intergenerational dynamics on the working population, and society as a whole.

    Public space and memory (2024)
    Publicacions i Edicions de la Universitat de Barcelona
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: This publication aims to generate an open arena for debate dealing with memory and public space; issues which are highly complex in both theoretical and practical terms. The broad scope of perspectives presented in the papers helps us understand some of the current lines of thinking on memory and the city from an interdisciplinary point of view (art, urban design, history), looking at the politics and management of memory in public space. Ruins, remains and immaterial spaces of memory or heritage may be understood as elements which organise space in relation to its connections with the events of the past and the future; stimulating debate about current political consensus and dissent. The remnants of the past, John Berger would say, are not just those which remain when something has disappeared: they may also in themselves form the mark of a project.

    Studies in Sumerian Civilization. Selected writings of Miguel Civil (2021)
    Publicacions i Edicions de la Universitat de Barcelona
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Miguel (or Miquel) Civil’s oeuvre has been unanimously acclaimed by the entire Assyriological community, from his first contributions in the 1960s to the most recent publications today. This volume gathers together his principal articles, which have been published in the most prestigious series and periodicals in the field of cuneiform studies. Every expert in the civilizations of ancient Mesopotamia has been influenced by Civil’s profound researches: the perspicacity of his proposals, the novelty of his suggestions and the originality of his solutions. Cuneiform studies would be a completely different discipline were it not for the stimulus and impact of the work of a scholar who created his own school, and who will be leaving a mark on many generations to come.

    Modern sculpture and the question of status (2021)
    Publicacions i Edicions de la Universitat de Barcelona
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: One of the most fascinating yet least explored questions in art history is that of status in art. The analysis of how artists and artworks achieve recognition or not, both during their lifetimes and beyond, leads us into sociology of art, a field that, regarding modern sculpture, has received little attention internationally, and is largely untouched in terms of the Catalan and Spanish contexts. This objective of this volume is to contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms of status and success in nineteenth- and twentieth-century sculpture, especially in Spain and Catalonia. The authors, experts from Europe and America, address the topic both from theoretical viewpoints, and considering the impact on the construction of artists’ careers. They also explore the possibilities of sculpture as an object on the path to artistic recognition, and the particularities of status in specific historical circumstances, such as under Franco’s dictatorship, in which art is not always put at the service of an ideology.
