Ganga
Ganga, a última achega narrativa de Antón Lopo, ten un dono e señor que é o propio Ganga, un protagonista ácrata e excesivo que conduce ao lector a unha aventura sen retorno. Ganga, un gordecho psicotropicómano de cento vinte quilos, enleado nunha trama de narcotraficantes e comunidades secretas de intelixencia que procuran a felicidade perpetua, emprende unha viaxe na procura do amor e da morte que o levará dende a súa Compostela, ao Hío, a Barcelona, a Compostela, de novo, e logo á India. Ganga viaxa para deixar atrás o seu pasado, buscando sempre o amor e o coñecemento da verdade, que se agacha tralas máscaras dos seus seres máis próximos. Ganga é unha novela nómade, á q...
Iberian and Translation Studies
Iberian and Translation Studies: Literary Contact Zones offers fertile reflection on the dynamics of linguistic diversity and multifaceted literary translation flows taking place across the Iberian Peninsula. Drawing on cutting-edge theoretical perspectives and on a historically diverse body of case studies, the volume's sixteen chapters explore the key role of translation in shaping interliterary relations and cultural identities within Iberia. Mary Louise Pratt's contact zone metaphor is used as an overarching concept to approach Iberia as a translation(al) space where languages and cultural systems (Basque, Catalan, Galician, Portuguese, and Spanish) set up relationships either of conflic...
A distancia do lobo
Uxío Novoneyra está xa gravemente enfermo e rememora a súa vida, desde O Courel da II República ás rúas de Zúric onde viu, a primeiros da década de 1990, os rapaces anestesiarse con heroína. Xorden así unhas memorias concibidas con aparencia de autobiografía, nas que a figura totémica de Novoneyra o inunda todo. En A distancia do lobo, Antón Lopo utiliza a obra do poeta, as súas entrevistas e os seus discursos para reconstruír a traxectoria vital dun escritor que mantivo a liberdade como principio irrenunciable. A partir dese material, e mediante unha serie de entrevistas con Elba Rey -viúva de Novoneyra- e con amigos e persoas que o trataron en vida, trénzase unha peripecia que se inicia cos estertores da vida e conclúe na infancia. A represión da ditadura, o principio de liberación dos pobos, a bohemia, o refuxio das tertulias ou as dificultades de forxar un ámbito cultural propio nos comezos da autonomía en Galicia, son algunhas das estacións dun percorrido que fai escintilar a práctica totalidade da poliédrica persoalidade dun home que converteu a poesía nunha forma de comportamento.
A Companion to Galician Culture
"Of all the differentiated regions comprising contemporary Spain, Galicia is possibly the most deeply marked by political, economic and cultural inequities throughout the centuries. Processes of national construction in the region have been patchily successful. However, Galicia's cultural distinctness is easily recognizable to the observer, from the language spoken in the region to the specific forms of the Galician built landscape, with its mixture of indigenous, imported and hybrid elements. The present volume offers English-language readers an in-depth introduction to the integral aspects of Galician cultural history, from pre-historical times to the present day. Whilst attention is given to the traditional areas of medieval culture, language, contemporary history and politics, the book also privileges compelling contemporary perspectives on cinema, architecture, the city of Santiago de Compostela and the urban qualities of Galician culture today." -- Provided by the publisher.
Rerouting Galician Studies
This book—aimed at both the general reader and the specialist—offers a transatlantic, transnational, and multidisciplinary cartography of the rapidly expanding intellectual field of Galician Studies. In the twenty-one essays that comprise the volume, leading scholars based in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand engage with this field from the perspectives of queer theory, Atlantic and diasporic thought, political ecology, hydropoetics, theories of space, trauma and memory studies, exile, national/postnational approaches, linguistic ideologies, ethnographic poetry and photography, Galician language in the US academic curriculum, the politics of children’s books, film and visual studies, the interrelation of painting and literature, and material culture. Structured around five organizational categories (Frames, Routes, Readings, Teachings, and Visualities), and adopting a pluricentric view of Galicia as an analytical subject of study, the book brings cutting-edge debates in Galician Studies to a broad international readership.
Writing Galicia Into the World
Writing Galicia explores a part of Europe’s cultural and social landscape that has until now remained largely unmapped—the exciting body of creative work that, since the 1970s, has emerged as a result of contact between the small Atlantic nation of Galicia and the Anglophone world. Paying particular attention to the community of London Galicians and their descendants, this book traces representations of Galician cultural history through art and close, critical readings of literary works by, among others, Carlos Durán, Manuel Rivas, Xesús Fraga, and Ramiro Fonte. Too often neglected in literary studies, Galician culture is strongly evident throughout Europe’s cultural landscape, and this book allows us to reframe this small Atlantic culture.
Obediencia
Antón Lopo sitúa a súa novela no século XXII, nunha Galicia republicana na que o goberno perdeu o control sobre todo o territorio agás a capital, Compostela. A cidade é centro dunha puxante economía que se contrapón á mísera Alemparte, un deserto salvaxe sen regulamento democrático. Nunha residencia de Compostela para científicos con problemas piscolóxicos, está ingresada Elba Mácara, unha paciente con crises de amnesia que cre prever o destino mediante cálculos matemáticos. Cando menos o agarda, Mácara consegue fuxir para refuxiarse na Alemparte, un ermo salvaxe onde ten base o grupo resistente Alogon. Cunha enorme forza creadora, utilizando unha linguaxe que evoca as imax...
Peripheral Visions/global Sounds
This book examines contemporary audio/visual production in Galicia as privileged channels through which modern Galician cultural identities have been imagined, constructed and consumed, both at home and abroad.
Peripheral Visions / Global Sounds
Galician audio/visual culture has experienced an unprecedented period of growth following the process of political and cultural devolution in post-Franco Spain. This creative explosion has occurred in a productive dialogue with global currents and with considerable projection beyond the geopolitical boundaries of the nation and the state, but these seismic changes are only beginning to be the subject of attention of cultural and media studies. This book examines contemporary audio/visual production in Galicia as privileged channels through which modern Galician cultural identities have been imagined, constructed and consumed, both at home and abroad. The cultural redefinition of Galicia in t...
