Cervantine Blackness
There is no shortage of Black characters in Miguel de Cervantes’s works, yet there has been a profound silence about the Spanish author’s compelling literary construction and cultural codification of Black Africans and sub-Saharan Africa. In Cervantine Blackness, Nicholas R. Jones reconsiders in what sense Black subjects possess an inherent value within Cervantes’s cultural purview and literary corpus. In this unflinching critique, Jones charts important new methodological and theoretical terrain, problematizing the ways emphasis on agency has stifled and truncated the study of Black Africans and their descendants in early modern Spanish cultural and literary production. Through the le...
Coronavirus, Crisis and Culture
This volume represents a timely and essential contribution for both scholars and readers of the Coronavirus Pandemic. Whereas the bulk of literary, academic, and investigative coverage of the Pandemic has focussed on factors such as i) maintaining social cohesion, ii) developing a vaccine, iii) fighting fake news, this submission explores the erosion of civil liberties and human rights during the pandemic, the increase of policing and supervisory practices, and the innovative ways in which contemporary social movements have expressed their concerns at the measures governments have put in place. The volume challenges restrictions placed on freedom of speech, in which contrary opinions to main...
Endgame for ETA
The violent Basque separatist group ETA took shape in Franco's Spain, yet claimed the majority of its victims under democracy. For most Spaniards it became an aberration, a criminal and terrorist band whose persistence defied explanation. Others, mainly Basques (but only some Basques) understood ETA as the violent expression of a political conflict that remained the unfinished business of Spain's transition to democracy. Such differences hindered efforts to 'defeat' ETA's terrorism on the one hand and 'resolve the Basque conflict' on the other for more than three decades. Endgame for ETA offers a compelling account of the long path to ETA's declaration of a definitive end to its armed activi...

Després del llibre. Notes sobre llibres, història i cultura
El 1972, George Steiner va publicar l’article premonitori «Després del llibre, què?», en el qual ja albirava alguns dels problemes que afligeixen avui el món dels llibres, com ara la inflació editorial i la decadència de la lectura «atenta». D’aleshores ençà, en alguns aspectes s’han acomplert les pitjors previsions d’aquest gran humanista, perquè el boom audiovisual i, sobretot, l’esclat de les xarxes socials ho han canviat tot. El rigor propi de l’alta literatura va de baixa. La lectura sofreix els embats d’una manera de fer fragmentària i sincopada, que va en detriment d’aquella altra activitat, exigent i concentrada, que demana temps i silenci, dos béns cada...
Die Wiederentdeckung des WIR
Acht Reflexionen über die Coronapandemie anhand von klassischer und zeitgenössischer Literatur. Der Autor stellt kulturelle, soziale und politische Überlegungen zur Pandemie an, setzt sie in Beziehung zu Werken der Weltliteratur, in der eine ähnliche Situation den Hintergrund bildet, und zieht daraus Schlussfolgerungen für uns persönlich und unsere Gesellschaft. Es geht ihm dabei vor allem um einige Verhaltensweisen und Einstellungen, die in unserer Gesellschaft in den Hintergrund gedrängt wurden. Sie können mit der "Wiederentdeckung des Wir" zusammengefasst werden. Dabei ist nicht nur das synchrone "Wir" einer Solidarität zwischen Völkern gemeint, die entdecken, dass sie von demselben Feind bedroht werden, sondern auch das diachronische "Wir" von Völkern, die vor uns gelebt haben und die wie wir erfahren haben, was es bedeutet, von einer Epidemie heimgesucht zu werden. Daher die Verknüpfung mit literarischen Werken der Vergangenheit, die auf unterschiedliche Weise das Gefühl der Verletzlichkeit und Angst vermitteln, von einer Gefahr überwältigt zu werden, die unsere Lebensroutine und unsere Gewissheiten über den Haufen wirft.
