Carmen on Screen
A filmographic and bibliographic guide to the screen adaptations of the story of Carmen. 'Carmen' on Screen is a filmographic and bibliographic guide for scholars interested in the different versions of the story of Carmen in film since her original appearance in Mérimée's novella and its operatic adaptation byBizet.

The volume offers: chronological listings of 82 feature films with credits and annotations of scholarly articles, selected citations of reviews and news articles, and listings of more general works on film adaptations of opera; works on the novella or on the opera; and, finally, lists of works on the 12 major female and 8 major male stars in the 82feature films.

Cultural Encounters in Contemporary Spain
Previous critical studies have focused on feminist approaches to Janes's oeuvre. This study seeks to expand those discussions through an analysis of the aesthetics of cultural otherness (rather than simply gendered otherness) within Janes's prolific literary production.

Myths in Crisis
This trilingual volume examines the extent to which myths are affected by the crises of the 20th and 21st centuries. It brings together four theoretical studies which analyse both the crisis of structure – implying the distortion or disappearance of myth – and the crisis of concepts and terminology that currently threaten the study of mythology. The largest section of the volume focuses on the crises that have affected ancient, medieval and modern literary myths from a global perspective, taking into account psychology, ethics, politics and contemporary meta-literature. The final section examines the crisis experienced by those myths which permeate the material world, investigating historical and fictitious characters, mythologized places, and languages. The volume is a remarkable collection of 30 texts that were selected from 300 proposals by prestigious researchers from over 30 countries during the 3rd International Conference of Myth Criticism held in Madrid in October 2014.
Aux frontières: Roma als Grenzgängerfiguren der Moderne
Schon lange vor dem Zeitalter der Nationalismen im 19. Jahrhundert, trotz der Verfolgungen, Unterdrückungen und des Holocaust (Porajmos) im 20. Jahrhundert, repräsentieren Roma von Grenzüberschreitungen geprägte Kulturen, die immer wieder auch in der Literatur, in der bildenden Kunst und im Film dargestellt wurden. Besonders im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert kommen Eigenrepräsentationen selbst vermehrt zur textuellen und medialen Darstellung. Der Band setzt sich zum Ziel, den vielfältigen Facetten der Darstellung der Roma ("Tsiganes", "Bohémiens", "Sinté", "Manouches", "Yéniches", "Gitans' etc.) nachzugehen, deren Lebensweise sich geschichtlich durch grenzüberschreitende Bewegung und Gren...
