My graduate career in Minnesota has been a life-changing experience, and I would not have missed it for anything. Financial support from the department to study at the Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid, to study Portuguese at the Universidade de Lisboa in Lisbon and to contribute to a conference at Universidad Complutense in Madrid helped significantly in rounding out my graduate student experience, as well as enabling me to collect essential material for this dissertation. I should like to thank my adviser, Ofelia Ferrán, for her help and guidance and to record my additional debt to Toni Dorca and Jaime Hanneken, who listened generously and counseled. To Toni Dorca I owe my introduction to Galdós‘s Naturalist novels which has formed the background of this dissertation. I have seen myself fundamentally as a galdosista at heart ever since. I should like to thank J.B. Shank for allowing me to prevail upon him to direct me in a course of reading that proved invaluable preparation for the study of biological and medical thought in eighteenth and nineteenth century France.

  • A Debate on Prostitution in Spain: Barcelona's Bylaw on Coexistence
    Oñati Socio-legal Series, v. 8, n. 8 (2018) – Sex Work in the Early 21st Century – Law, Policy and Reality ISSN: 2079-5971 A Debate on Prostitution in Spain: Barcelona’s Bylaw on Coexistence PAULA ARCE BECERRA∗ Arce Becerra, P., 2018. A Debate on Prostitution in Spain: Barcelona’s Bylaw on Coexistence. Oñati Socio-legal Series [online], 8 (8), 1197-1214. Received: 14-07-2017; Accepted: 10-04-2018. Available from: https://doi.org/10.35295/osls.iisl/0000-0000- 0000-0984 Abstract The article describes and analyzes the Spanish policies to deal with street prostitution since the end of 2005 when Barcelona’s Bylaw on Coexistence was passed. This local bylaw prohibits and sanctions offering, negotiating or requesting of sexual services in public spaces. Most Spanish municipalities have adopted similar bylaws prohibiting prostitution in the street in recent years. The article aims to analyze the impact of these regulations and their implementation on the rights of people working in prostitution. In order to achieve this it takes into consideration contributions that feminist movements have made to debates on prostitution and public policies. Key words Prostitution; sex work; human rights Resumen El presente artículo describe y analiza las políticas que se han venido implantando en España para tratar la prostitución en la calle, desde que, a finales de 2005, el Ayuntamiento de Barcelona aprobara la Ordenanza de Medidas para Fomentar y Garantizar la Convivencia Ciudadana. Dicha ordenanza prohíbe y castiga la oferta, negociación o solicitud de servicios sexuales en espacios públicos. Muchas ciudades españolas han adoptado ordenanzas similares en años recientes.

    Domination, masculine sexuality and prostitution in Spain: why do Spanish men consume paid sex? Águeda Gómez-Suárez / [email protected] Silvia Pérez-Freire / [email protected] University of Vigo, Spain Rosa Mª Verdugo-Matés / [email protected] University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain Abstract: This paper focuses on the study of clients of prostitution in Spain in order to understand why these men pay for sex. We analyzed the narratives of clients of prostitution through in-depth semi- directed interviews, group interviews, and discussion groups. This material is given structure by the application of the theory of frame analysis. We obtained four ideal client types of clients were obtained, namely: misogynist (hatred of women), consumerist (everything is for sale), friend (affectionate but abusive), and critic (occasional and repentant). We reach the conclusion that From this point of view the purchase of sex has nothing to do with is not due to the searching for quality sex, fun and hedonistic pleasure, but rather it is a strategy to that reinforces a masculine identity that conforms molded by to the expectations of the peer group. Key words: gender, prostitution clients, frame analysis, theories of masculinity. Resumen: Este artículo se centra en el estudio de los clientes de prostitución en España, con el propósito de entender por qué los hombres acuden al sexo de pago. Para responder a esta interrogante, se analizaron los discursos de los hombres consumidores de prostitución mediante entrevistas en profundidad semidirigidas, entrevistas grupales y grupos de discusión. Con el fin de estructurar coherentemente las narraciones obtenidas y clasificarlas en categorías se aplicó el marco teórico del “frame analysis”.

  • Thesis Submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
    WRITING IN FRANCO’S SPAIN: CENSORSHIP, GENDER AND SOCIAL CRITICISM IN THE POSTWAR NOVEL BY JULIA VAN LUIJK A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2014 Abstract Following the Nationalist victory in the Spanish Civil War (1936–39), General Francisco Franco’s authoritarian regime ruled Spain in a dictatorship that lasted almost forty years. In order to preserve the dominance of the regime and its ideology in Spain, all cultural activity was strictly censored, with censorship being particularly severe in the immediate postwar years. The regime’s censorship board, often with the involvement of Catholic clergy, had to approve all types of public communication, from poetry to television, before it could be published or broadcast. The censor was to ensure that the material in question was not critical of the regime or its ideology and that it did not challenge Catholic morals and traditional Spanish family values. Despite the regime’s efforts, however, writers who wished to convey their opposition to the dictatorship turned to a realist, objective narrative style that would allow them to denounce Francoist society without causing concern for the censors. In this thesis, I examine five Spanish postwar novels, published between 1945 and 1961, that provide a critique of Francoism and its associated values: Carmen Laforet’s Nada (1945), Luis Romero’s La noria (1952), Ignacio Aldecoa’s El fulgor y la sangre (1954), Juan García Hortelano’s Nuevas amistades (1959) and Dolores Medio’s Diario de una maestra (1961).

[email protected] Recibido el 11 de octubre de 2012. Aceptado el 11 de mayo de 2013. BIBLID [1134-6396(2013)20:2; 345-368] RESUMEN Transcurrido cerca de medio siglo de férreo reglamentarismo en materia prostitucional en España, a principios del siglo XX comienza a abrirse paso con fuerza la necesidad de adoptar una nueva política que tuviera por objetivo la desaparición de la reglamentación. La campaña abolicionista desarrollada por Josephine Butler en Inglaterra en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y su repercusión en otros países; el desarrollo del movimiento feminista, y las grietas y numerosas críticas que comienzan a vertirse en torno al sistema de férreo control de la prostitución, darán como consecuencia la aprobación, en la Segunda República, del decreto de 28 de junio de 1935 por el que se suprime el sistema reglamentarista imperante en nuestro país desde mediados del siglo XIX, al tiempo que la prostitución pasa a con- siderarse como un medio no lícito de vida. La ley fue compleja, de corta duración y sus consecuencias escasas, si bien, esto no debe ocultar, que la Segunda República realizará no pocos esfuerzos en materia prostitucional. Palabras claves: II República. Prostitución. Reglamentarismo. Abolicionismo. ABSTRACT After a century of hard regulation about prostitution in Spain, at the begining of twentieth century is become necesary to adopt a new politic to make desappear reglamentation.
