Languaging Experiences
This book is dedicated to the notion of languaging, which has recently gained recognition across many disciplines. From philosophy to linguistics, the foundations of the concept rest on the assumption that language is a way of knowing, making personal sense of the world, becoming conscious of oneself, and a means of creating one's identity. The very notion of languaging is still a fresh and unexplored concept in applied linguistics and deserves careful scrutiny. For this reason, the volume is ...
Weaving Tales
This collection of essays brings together a wide range of Spanish and Portuguese academics and writers exploring the ways in which our encounters with literatures in English inform our assumptions about texts and identities (or texts as identities) and the way we read them. Mapping, examining, reading and re-reading, fashioning and self-fashioning and, especially, weaving appear as appropriate images that convey the complexity and the nature of creative writing. Such a metaphor has been fundamental for the history of world literature since the Roman poet Ovid had included a tale in his Metamorphoses in which weaving, narration, uncertain identities, and the risks of telling uncomfortable truths all figure prominently. As such, these essays trace the intertwined patterns that knit texts together, weaving identities as well as undoing them and, in the process, interrogating established and official truths.
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.

Memoria de poeta
Xosé María Álvarez Cáccamo, unha das voces senlleiras da poesía galega contemporánea, sen cuestionar que realmente a obra poética dun autor é a súa verdadeira memoria, escribe estoutra memoria posible. Literatura e vida comparten espazo en Memoria de poeta: a infancia e o mundo dos escritores amigos da familia, a primeira escrita febril e os anos universitarios, o oficio de poeta e o compromiso coa lingua, a enerxía do amor e a preocupación social. Da década de 1960 ao movemento Nunca Máis, unha época fundamental é relatada desde a experiencia do poeta e do home.
Fronte da Arte
Fronte da arte. A arte galega no contexto europeo dos anos trinta recolle un conxunto de traballos dedicados ao desenvolvemento da pintura do século pasado, con especial atención á produción do movemento renovador da arte galega que traballa nos anos vinte, no período republicano, na Guerra Civil e no exilio. Estúdase como a súa arte era conscientemente presentada desde posturas que reafirmaban o carácter conflitivo, denunciador da opresión ou reafirmador das imaxes, desde criterios sociopolíticos alternativos ao discurso dominante que deitaba o poder. Tiñan pois, un forte contido social e identitario, aparecendo os labregos como clase subalterna mais tamén o proletariado e o mun...
