Los medios de comunicación ocupan un papel preponderante en la sociedad actual, adquiriendo cada vez más poder, a la par que los gobiernos y aquellos que tienen acceso al podio discursivo social (Aguaded y Romero-Rodríguez, 2016). Su capacidad de influencia en la opinión pública, gracias al uso de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, su presencia ubicua y su maximización de alcance por parte de los prosumidores (Civila et ál., 2020), es aprovechada por diferentes agentes, para sus propios fines, como en el caso de los partidos políticos para modificar la intención de voto, las empresas para incidir en el consumo de sus productos, a través de la publici-dad y el marketing, o los influencers a través de las redes sociales, entre otros.

Bodas de Sangre meant the definitive success -both of public and critique- for playwright Federico Garcia Lorca. As a playwright he succeeded at staging the great issues of his poetry, his symbols, images and ideas, while creating a dramatic performance that captivated the audiences of Spain, Europe and the Americas. With this play Lorca achieved his most cherished ambition: to reach the masses, to impassionate with his plays vast and differently cultured audiences of diverse origins, nationalities and customs, without debasing himself to «commercial theater» commonplaces and vulgarity. Lorca succeeded with a different and suggestive play, deeply rooted in the classic tragedy concept and staged in modern times.

Though being the forerunner to the brilliant Spanish short story period (Becquer, Valera, Alarcon, etc.), it has stood widely ignored. Throughout this anthology prof. Borja Rodriguez Gutierrez answers some basic questions: what constitutes a short story? What does romantic mean? When and how was the Spanish romanticism movement? Where there romantic short stories written in Spain? The analysis of these questions lead to the unearthing of thousands of stories waiting in the remote and less consulted rows of revision libraries. Evil and benevolent kings, disgraced lovers, noble heroes and damned villains, Jews, sorcerers, loyal servants, ghosts, magnanimous and malevolent Moors, rude countrymen and noble peasants, noble middle aged knights that fall for languid damsels or for graceful passionate young women of dark skin and darker eyes, and knights that act as utmost Spanish chivalry examples. Medieval castles, dark woods, villages of the Mancha, Galicia, Andalousie and Aragon. The Prado with its chariots and strollers parade. All the above can be found in the Spanish...

De la litografía al fotograbado, fuera y dentro del texto, como adorno o como clave significativa; el dibujo y la pintura establecieron fuertes lazos con la literatura en el siglo XIX, el de la literatura ilustrada con dibujos. Desde el acercamiento múltiple de los especialistas en los 57 estudios ofrecidos se analiza esta realidad tan compleja, cambiante y diversa como contradictoria.
