Gender, Displacement, and Cultural Networks of Galicia
This book, bringing together a multi-voiced dialogue between academic scholars and professionals from diverse fields, shares a comprehensive and heterogeneous look at the interdisciplinarity of Galician Studies while examining a chronologically broad range of subjects from the 1800s to the present. This volume carves out a distinct approach to gender studies investigating issues of culture, language, displacement, counterculture artists, and community projects as related to questions of politics, gender and class. Women, conceived as both individual and political bodies, are studied, among other things, as an example of what it means to struggle from the margins emphasizing the importance of looking at the opposition between the center and the peripheries when studying the relationship between space and culture.
Centennial Fever
Commemorations that shaped major elements of Spanish identity at the beginning of the 20th century are full of centennials and anniversaries that elaborate and renew the Spanish national mythology. In Centennial Fever Javier Moreno-Luzón, one of the most prominent Spanish historians of his generation, studies the milestones that defined transnational dimensions of celebration at the beginning of the 20th century including the Peninsular War, the first Spanish Constitution, the independence of Latin American States, the “discovery” of the Pacific Ocean and the death of Miguel de Cervantes and the publication of Don Quixote of La Mancha. Through these truly global events, a cultural community is created, called “Hispanoamerica” or “La Raza”, on which Spanish nationalism has become dependent.
Women on War in Spain’s Long Nineteenth Century
The ways in which women have historically authorized themselves to write on war has blurred conventionally gendered lines, intertwining the personal with the political. Women on War in Spain’s Long Nineteenth Century explores, through feminist lenses, the cultural representations of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Spanish women’s texts on war. Reshaping the current knowledge and understanding of key female authors in Spain’s fin de siècle, this book examines works by notable writers – including Rosario de Acuña, Blanca de los Rios, Concepción Arenal, and Carmen de Burgos – as they engage with the War of Independence, the Third Carlist War, Spain’s colonial wars, a...
Otherness and National Identity in 19th-Century Spanish Literature

Una mirada profunda a los diversos tipos y grupos sociales que fueron relegados a los márgenes del relato nacional en la España decimonónica.
A New Companion to Hispanic Mysticism
The canon of Hispanic mysticism is expanding. No longer is our picture of this special brand of early modern devotional practice limited to a handful of venerable saints. Instead, we recognize a wide range of marginal figures as practitioners of mysticism, broadly defined. Neither do we limit the study of mysticism necessarily to the Christian religion, nor even to the realm of literature. Representations of mysticism are also found in the visual, plastic and musical arts. The terminology and theoretical framework of mysticism permeate early modern Hispanic cultures. Paradoxically, by taking a more inclusive approach to studying mysticism in its marginal manifestations, we draw mysticism---in all its complex iterations---back toward its rightful place at the center of early modern spiritual experience. Contributors: Colin Thompson, Alastair Hamilton, Christina Lee, Clara Herrera, Darcy Donahue, Elena del Rio Parra, Evelyn Toft, Fernando Duran Lopez, Piancisco Morales, Freddy Dominguez, Glyn Redworth, Jane Ackerman, Jessica Boon, Jose Adriano de Freitas Carvalho, Luce Lopez-Barat, Maria Mercedes Carrion, Maryrica Lottman, and Tess Knighton.

Identidad autorial femenina y comunicación epistolar
La participación de las mujeres en la cultura ha estado condicionada históricamente por factores muy diversos y complejos, literarios, pero también psicológicos, sociológicos, religiosos y político-económicos. A ello se suma la desatención de la historiografía, monopolizada por la perspectiva androcéntrica, que ha determinado la “invisibilidad” de la mujer en la historia cultural española. Consecuencia de ello es una identidad autorial problemática o problematizada, tanto en la representación textual que las escritoras hacen de sí mismas como en la percepción y testimonio que los demás agentes del campo literario tienen sobre la autoría femenina. Este volumen analiza la identidad de las escritoras a través del discurso epistolar desde una perspectiva diacrónica, que atiende a la imagen autorial femenina en su devenir histórico y en su contexto europeo.

Dejar de ser súbditos
¿Qué sentido tienen las monarquías hereditarias en el mundo contemporáneo? ¿A qué fines e intereses concretos ha servido la monarquía en España? Partiendo de una mirada histórica, contextualizada, Gerardo Pisarello analiza críticamente el devenir de las monarquías modernas y de manera concreta el de la dinastía borbónica hispana, desde Fernando VII al actual rey Felipe VI. Dejar de ser súbditos. El fin de la restauración borbónica es un ensayo penetrante, que muestra de forma convincente por qué la monarquía podría haber sellado su declive irreversible, posibilitando la apertura de nuevos horizontes republicanos. «Un ensayo “provocador” en el mejor sentido del términ...
