Striking Their Modern Pose
The importance of fashion in the construction and representation of gender and the formation of modern society in nineteenth-century Spanish narrative is the focus of Dorota Heneghan's Striking Their Modern Pose. The study moves beyond traditional interpretations that equate female passion for finery with symptoms of social ambition and the decline of the Spanish nation, and brings to light the manners in which nineteenth-century Spanish novelists drew attention to the connection between the complexities of fashionable female protagonists and the shifting limits of conventional womanhood to address the need to reformulate customary ideals of gender as a necessary condition for Spain to advan...
An Ibero-American Perspective on Narratives of Pandemics
An Ibero-American Perspective on Narratives of Pandemics is a critique of the realities of the pandemic in the Ibero-American world and its intertwined relationship with the environment. Through a critical gaze into the history of the region as it has evolved through periods of socio-environmental and cultural conflicts, the book chronicles multiple experiences of how people managed to negotiate multiple crises on a daily basis by often clinging to their age old cultural and healing practices, as well as the humanistic representation of such experiences in various fictional and nonfictional writings. The contributors expose the biopolitics around COVID-19 and its effects particularly on marg...
La piel en la palestra
Nos proponemos desplegar un abanico de encuentros posibles con cuerpos que nos rodean a diario. Los textos del presente volumen re-enfocan los planos fílmicos que nos entretienen y las fotografías que nos hechizan, re-sintonizan las voces que nos hacen bailar, hacen re-actuar a actrices y actores en nuevos escenarios: son ejemplos de una mirada cultural re-formateada y capaz de palpar la piel a la que el pensamiento occidental se ha acostumbrado a dar la espalda. En primer lugar dan la razón a Stuart Hall en aquello de que los significados son móviles y por lo tanto negociables; en segundo lugar llaman a la posibilidad de diálogo entre distintas disciplinas y, por último, ponen la identidad en el punto de mira, estableciendo así una clara continuidad con el anterior volumen de esta colección dedicado a los estudios culturales.

A flor de text
El llibre proposa un viatge a través de l'art a la cerca de preguntes -més que no pas respostes- sobre les possibilitats de representació del cos, alhora depositaries i generadores de diferents concepcions de la relació entre corporeitat i identitat. La pintura, la fotografia, la literatura, la dansa i el cinema són els marcs d'unes lectures que, des dels seus plantejaments teòrics, coincideixen en la consideració del cos com a quelcom menystingut per la tradició filosòfica que, no obstant, a la llum del pensament contemporani, esdevé element indispensable per a pensar la nostra subjectivitat, una subjectivitat indissociable ja de la corporeitat.

This anniversary volume of the Association for the Teaching of Spanish in Higher Education in the United Kingdom is a compilation of contributions made by members and delegates at the 2019 ELEUK annual conference held at the University of Edinburgh. Throughout the book, authors share their teaching, assessment, and research practice in the area of Spanish Language Teaching (SLT).

Modernism and the Avant-garde Body in Spain and Italy
This interdisciplinary volume interrogates bodily thinking in avant-garde texts from Spain and Italy during the early twentieth century and their relevance to larger modernist preoccupations with corporeality. It examines the innovative ways Spanish and Italian avant-gardists explored the body as a locus for various aesthetic and sociopolitical considerations and practices. In reimagining the nexus points where the embodied self and world intersect, the texts surveyed in this book not only shed light on issues such as authority, desire, fetishism, gender, patriarchy, politics, religion, sexuality, subjectivity, violence, and war during a period of unprecedented change, but also explore the c...
Miradas cruzadas
Desde mediados del siglo XIX, los cambios en el orden geopolítico del mundo, sumados a las transformaciones del transporte, generaron una gran circulación de población. Las primeras escritoras o artistas recorrieron el mundo dejando constancia en diarios de viaje o crónicas periodísticas en distintas geografías, de la lucha de las mujeres. Entre 1830 y los primeros años del siglo xx, encontramos numerosos relatos que prestaron especial atención a los modos de auto-representación y representación de la «mujer» como categoría contada por mujeres. Textos que exploran formas de asociacionismo y de apoyo trasnacional entre intelectuales. Desde diferentes propuestas literarias y creativas, este libro busca cartografiar esas redes y analizar el modo en que los imaginarios de «lo estadounidense», «lo europeo», «lo hispano» y «lo femenino» se transforman en los intercambios de estas.
African American Women's Literature in Spain
This volume brings forward a descriptive approach to the translation and reception of African American women’s literature in Spain. Drawing from a multidisciplinary theoretical and methodological framework, it traces the translation history of literature produced by African American women, seeking to uncover changing strategies in translation policies as well as shifts in interests in the target context, and it examines the topicality of this cohort of authors as frames of reference for Spanish critics and reviewers. Likewise, the reception of the source literature in the Spanish context is described by reconstructing the values that underlie judgements in different reception sources. Finally, this book addresses the specific problem of the translation of Black English into Spanish. More precisely, it pays attention to the ideological and the ethical implications of translation choices and the effect of the latter on the reception of literary texts.
