{"product_id":"9780826521941","title":"The Rise of Euroskepticism: Europe and Its Critics in Spanish Culture","description":"\u003cbr\u003eCovering from 1915 to the present, this book deals with the role that artists and intellectuals have played regarding projects of European integration. Consciously or not, they partake of a tradition of Euroskepticism. Because Euroskepticism is often associated with the discourse of political elites, its literary and artistic expressions have gone largely unnoticed. This book addresses that gap.\u003cp\u003eTaking Spain as a case study, author Luis Martín-Estudillo analyzes its conflict over its own Europeanness or exceptionalism, as well as the European view of Spain. He ranges from canonical writers like Unamuno, Ortega y Gasset, and Zambrano to new media artists like Valeriano López, Carlos Spottorno, and Santiago Sierra. Martín-Estudillo provides a new context for the current refugee crisis, the North-South divide among EU countries, and the generalized disaffection toward the project of European integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe eclipsed critical tradition he discusses contributes to a deeper understanding of the notion of Europe and its institutional embodiments. It gives resonance to the intellectual and cultural history of Europe's \"peripheries\" and re-evaluates Euroskeptic contributions as one of the few hopes left to imagine ways to renew the promise of a union of the European nations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vanderbilt University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47026889621744,"sku":"9780826521941","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780826521941","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
