Esta investigación se centra en el estudio de la construcción romántica de la mujer andaluza en las artes y la literatura durante el siglo XIX; las iconografías de feminidad transitaron también el siglo XX condicionando la imagen cultural e identitaria dentro de la contemporaneidad mas proxima y reciente. Con el objetivo de llegar a esclarecer como cristaliza y perdura dicho relato topico, nuestro viaje conecta el pasado con el presente enfrentandose al ejercicio critico de contraponer este marco de verdades y ficciones a la produccion de tres creadoras contemporaneas andaluzas: Pilar Albarracin, Maria Cañas y Maria Alcaide.

A behind the scenes tour through the world s greatest natural history museums revealing how their hidden secrets can help us in the fight against climate change Zoologist Jack Ashby spends his life working in Britain s natural history museums and in Nature s Memory he guides us through a series of extraordinary collections from marvellous mounted whale skeletons and impossibly tiny insect cabinets to buried treasures in vast museum storehouses But look more closely at these displays all is not as it seems While most exhibits succeed in communicating feelings of wonder and awe a vital function when less people than ever before have access to the outdoors Ashby argues that the version of nature natural history museums present does not always reflect reality with specimens revealing more about the biases of curators than they do about the species they represent Likewise the ways in which museums have traditionally told the story of their own histories has disproportionately elevated the contributions of certain kinds of people whilst diminishing the work of others often ignoring their complex colonial heritage altogether But Ashby contends that these issues are precisely why it s such an exciting time to be a natural historian for while society shapes
