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.

This book contributes to the ongoing discussion of the place of contemporary Galician writer Blanca Andreu’s work within the 1980s post-“novísimo” movement, as part of a larger resurgence of the Surrealist in Spanish poetry and its possible placement in the more recent mystical poetry of Spain. It provides a detailed textual analysis of her poetry, and in doing so reveals not only that her work encompasses notions of the surreal and the mystical but also, although Andreu has so far written entirely in Castilian (Spanish), that her poetry utilizes a variety of traditional Galician and Portuguese symbols and images. In this way her work challenges the boundaries between what we as readers may accept as a solely Castilian, Galician, or Spanish poetic. It bases its transtheoretical framework on findings from such fields as Galician studies, Iberian studies, mysticism studies, paradigm shift studies, and regional studies over the past two decades. Ultimately, this comprehensive and unique study shows how Andreu’s multifaceted transnational work may pertain to, and expand, our knowledge of each of these areas of focus.
O presente volume formula a hipótese de que o imaxinario literario vive en estreita relación co imaxinario nacional. Mentres o imaxinario literario é transnacional, resultado das constantes flutuacións e fluencias que se producen entre as tradicións varias, non sempre de carácter local senón tamén diacrónicas, xenéricas, etc., o imaxinario nacional tende xustamente á delimitación, á singularización, elaborando constructos, produtos culturais que, case sempre, precisan botar man, con maior ou menor intensidade, da literatura. Este estudo condúcenos ao longo da tradición literaria galega contemporánea para dilucidar en que medida a nación galega moderna brota e é debedora da...
"A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula" is the second comparative history of a new subseries with a regional focus, published by the Coordinating Committee of the International Comparative Literature Association. As its predecessor for East-Central Europe, this two-volume history distances itself from traditional histories built around periods and movements, and explores, from a comparative viewpoint, a space considered to be a powerful symbol of inter-literary relations. Both the geographical pertinence and its symbolic condition are obviously discussed, when not even contested.Written by an international team of researchers who are specialists in the field, this history is the first attempt at applying a comparative approach to the plurilingual and multicultural literatures in the Iberian Peninsula. The aim of comprehensiveness is abandoned in favor of a diverse and extensive array of key issues for a comparative agenda."A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula" undermines the primacy claimed for national and linguistic boundaries, and provides a geo-cultural account of literary inter-systems which cannot otherwise be explained.
No primeiro volume de Xornalistas con opinión recollíanse autores dos séculos XIX e XX. Nesta nova xeira (outras vinte biografías) amplíase a mostra utilizando os mesmos criterios da anterior: autores e autoras que, a través das páxinas dos xornais, entraron no debate do seu tempo, uns máis próximos á creación literaria, outros máis orientados ao discurso xornalístico propiamente dito, mais todos eles comprometidos dun xeito ou doutro coa construción da modernidade. Un equipo de especialistas, coordinados pola Sección de Comunicación do Consello da Cultura Galega, abordan o estudo de vinte personalidades do xornalismo galego, dende Diego Antonio Cernadas, o cura de Fruíme, ata contemporáneos como Domingo Quiroga. Vinte autores, entre os cales se encontran Castelao, Lamas Carvajal, Otero Pedrayo, Dieste e Blanco Amor, incluíndo os textos especialmente reveladores de Rosalía de Castro.
Todas as obras de ficción de Castelao aparecen reunidas neste tomo. A edición, a cargo de Manuel Rosales, inclúe numerosas notas a pé de páxina e unha introducción. Ademais de Un ollo de vidro, Cousas, Retrincos, Os dous de sempre e Os vellos non deben de namorarse, inclúense neste volume prosas recuperadas e un apéndice con textos variados.
