Stylistics in Use
Stylistics in Use is composed of a series of studies about various trends in stylistics. More specifically, its seven chapters analyse, from various perspectives, literary aspects on the Internet, on television and in literary works. In order to accomplish this, a number of different approaches are adopted, such as corpus-driven analysis, translation studies, phraseology, discourse analysis, and sociolinguistic approaches, among others. The book will serve, first and foremost, to bring stylistic analyses closer together, thus demonstrating the potential of stylistics as a research area that can benefit from other disciplines, and proving its effectiveness in examining literary aspects in literary texts as well as in other mediums. In this regard, the book will be of interest to a wide academic readership, including not only stylisticians, but also those involved in corpus analysis, translation studies, phraseology, discourse analysis, and sociolinguistics.
Literature and Politics in the Later Foucault
This study proposes a revised interpretation of Foucault’s views on literature. It has been argued that the philosopher’s interest in literature was limited to the 1960s and of a mostly depoliticized nature. However, Foucault’s previously unpublished later works suggest a different reality, showing a sustained interest in literature and its politics. In the light of this new material, the book repositions Foucault's ideas within recent debates on the politics of literature.
Días de lluvia
Writers, publishers, readers and scholars have stopped apologising for the short story: the genre is no longer a bad investment, a trial-exercise for a novel or a minor entertainment, as demonstrated by exceptional writers with an almost exclusive dedication to it, such as Jorge Luis Borges, Alice Munro, Quim Monzó or Cristina Fernández Cubas. With deep roots in classic and medieval literatures, and great achievements in the nineteenth- and twentieth-centuries, the genre of the short story, which benefits from the linguistic tightness of poetry and the narrative comforts of the novel, has finally been recognised as having a (hybrid) identity of its own. This volume re-edits and expands a p...
Mi infancia son recuerdos de un patio de Sevilla
Este libro se debe al entusiasmo y a la amabilidad de unos pocos amigos, de un inmudable afecto y a mis Maestros, lo que me parece más que suficiente para entregarlo al lector final tal como es. Lo hice (que los libros se "hacen", no se escriben) gracias a la lectura de la biografía machadiana "Ligero de equipaje", del inmenso Ian Gibson, pero, sobre todo, a la labor de Jordi Domènech contenida en su web abelmartin.com. Sin su contribución fundamental, nada de todo esto hubiera existido. Mucho habría que decir sobre la abundante iconografía que acompaña a Antonio Machado en la actual Vulgata de su obra y que contrasta con la inexplicable ausencia de grabaciones de su voz. Pero prefiero que lo que aquí queda contenido y evidenciado hable de por sí a quien tuviera bastantes afecto y amistad para apreciarlo. Y al cabo, nada os debo.

Love Magic and Control in Premodern Iberian Literature
This book explores the complexity of Iberian identity and multicultural/multi-religious interactions in the Peninsula through the lens of spells, talismans, and imaginative fiction in medieval and early modern Iberia. Focusing particularly on love magic—which manipulates objects, celestial spheres, and demonic conjurings to facilitate sexual encounters—Menaldi examines how practitioners and victims of such magic as represented in major works produced in Castile. Magic, and love magic in particular, is an exchange of knowledge, a claim to power and a deviation from or subversion of the licit practices permitted by authoritative decrees. As such, magic serves as a metaphorical tool for understanding the complex relationships of the Christian with the non-Christian. In seeking to understand and incorporate hidden secrets that presumably reveal how one can manipulate their environment, occult knowledge became one of the funnels through which cultures and practices mixed and adapted throughout the centuries.
