This Strange and Powerful Language
A brief journey through modern Basque literature by one of its masters.
Battles and Borders
Battles and Borders. Perspectives on Cultural Transmission and Literature in Minor Language Areas is about literature on the fringes of Europe. The authors all discuss the often unique ways in which literary history and cultural transfer function in peripheral and central regions against the background of shifting national borders in the last two centuries. Special attention is paid to minority and migrant groups in Northwest Europe. The present volume aims to prompt a reconsideration of the concepts of ‘minority' and ‘migrant' cultures and literatures in the past and the present day. It also suggests a new topic for further study: the importance of cultural transfer for migrant groups (...

Before Babel
Before Babel: A History of Basque Literatures is the first book written originally in English and directed towards a global audience. It is also a new departure from traditional literary histories, as it is not a philological tedious classification of centuries, authors, genres, and books published in Basque. This book addresses the historical conflict and violence that define Basque history and culture, and so it defines Basque literary history as that of at least two literatures: one expressed by Basque subaltern (oppressed) classes in their language, euskara, which mainly constitutes an oral tradition, and the other written by Basque elites in Spanish, Latin, French, etc. The book emphasi...
Here and Beyond
The chapters included in this volume examine a number of modern and contemporary travel and mobility narratives produced in the different languages of Iberia, whether they offer accounts of Iberia itself or portray other geographical or human contexts. Illustrating the diversity of forms characteristic of travel writing, the texts discussed in the book feature representations of travel and mobility as presented in novels, films and other literary and cultural manifestations such as comics, plays and journalistic chronicles. Additionally, the volume incorporates a section of creative responses to the tropes of travel and mobility by contemporary Iberian authors in English translation. Thus, the book provides critical accounts of and creative insights into a tradition that has produced canonical texts, but also unorthodox, complex and challenging narratives, particularly in more recent times.
Literary Self-Translation in Hispanophone Contexts - La autotraducción literaria en contextos de habla hispana
This edited book contributes to the growing field of self-translation studies by exploring the diversity of roles the practice has in Spanish-speaking contexts of production on both sides of the Atlantic. Part I surveys the presence of self-translation in contemporary Indigenous literatures in Spanish America, with a focus on Mexico and the Mapuche poetry of Chile and Argentina. Part II proposes to incorporate self-translation into the history of Spanish-American literatures- including its relation with colonial multilingual-translation practices, the transfers it allowed between the French and Spanish-American avant-gardes, and the insertion it offered for exiled Republicans in Mexico. Part...

Gorroto haut
Gorrotoari adarrak zorrozteko agindu zitzaien hamabi idazleri. Javi Cillerok esan zigun, urruti bizi zela eta ez zuela gorrotorik inorenganako, hala ere ahaleginduko zela. Taberna batera joan, eta elkarrizketa baten grabazioa bidali digu. Unai Elorriagak bere lanari azken puntua jarri zion goiz hartan, eman zioten Espainiako Sari Nazionala, ez zuen denborarik izan izenbururik ere jartzeko. Aingeru Epaltzak argudiatu zuen, bere ponte-izenarekin ez zela bera egokiena gorrotoari adarrak zorrozteko. Bere ipuinarekin erakutsi du baduela harako bertze aingeru erori hartatik ere zerbait. Hasier Etxeberriak berehala ikusi zuen mandatuari nondik heldua, Borgesi zorroztuko zizkiola gorroto-adarrak. Em...
Etorkizuna
Heldu orainari dio zuhur-hitzak, \'etorkizuna gure esku dago\' errepikatzen dute nekagaitz medioetan. Eta bien bitartean, iraganari begira, mirarik gabe bada ere, ari da Zaldua ipuin-sorta berri honetan. Zer ote du iraganak halako setaz aldatu nahi izateko. Beharbada ez gaude iraganaz oso harro eta horregatik aldatu nahi genuke. Autoreak bere aurreko ipuinetan erabili ohi dituen osagaiak erabili ditu liburu honetan ere: ironia erregosi apur bat, zientzia fikzio ukitu sinesgarriez lurrindua, absurdotik atximur bat, egunerokotasunetik koilara bete, akaso giza harremanen gatzak gazituago dator oraingo honetan; beti bezain iradokizunez betea, hala ere. Ez da erraza esaten horietako zein osagaik behartzen duen irakurlea ipuin bakoitza hasi eta bukatu arte ez eskuetatik uztera, beharbada denen nahasteak. Segurua dena da ipuin bilduma irakurri eta nekez ahaztuko dituela bertan kontatzen direnak eta aktoreak.
