Modernity's Metonyms
Modernity's Metonyms considers the representation of temporal frameworks in stories by the nineteenth-century Spanish authors, Leopoldo Alas and Antonio Ros de Olano. Adopting a metonymic approach_exploring the reiteration of specific associations across a range of disciplines, from literature, philosophy, historiography, to natural history_Modernity's Metonyms moves beyond the consideration of nineteenth-century Spanish literary modernity in terms of the problem of representation. Through an exploration of the associations prompted by three themes, the railway, food, and suicide, it argues that literary modernity can be considered as the expression of the perception that a linear model of t...
The Formation of the Child in Early Modern Spain
Drawing on history, literature, and art to explore childhood in early modern Spain, the contributors to this collection argue that early modern Spaniards conceptualized childhood as a distinct and discrete stage in life which necessitated special care and concern. The volume contrasts the didactic use of art and literature with historical accounts of actual children, and analyzes children in a wide range of contexts including the royal court, the noble family, and orphanages. The volume explores several interrelated questions that challenge both scholars of Spain and scholars specializing in childhood. How did early modern Spaniards perceive childhood? In what framework (literary, artistic) ...
Archipelagoes

Portraying Authorship
Portraying Authorship argues that the medieval Castilian writer Juan Manuel fashioned a seemingly modern authorial persona from the accumulation and synthesis of medieval authorial roles. In the manuscript culture of medieval Castile and across Latin Europe, writers typically referred to their work in ways that corresponded to their role in the bookmaking process: scribes took credit for preserving the works of others, compilers for combining disparate texts in productive ways, commentators for explaining obscure works, and authors for writing their own words. Combining literary analysis with book history, Anita Savo reveals how Juan Manuel forged his authorial persona, “Don Juan,” by ad...
Translatio et compilatio en la Baja Edad Media
Coincidiendo con el 30º aniversario de la colección, este volumen tiene su origen en un simposio celebrado en Caspe, con motivo del VII centenario del nacimiento de Juan Fernández de Heredia, Gran Maestre de la Orden de San Juan del Hospital. En el legado cultural de quien llegó a ser uno de los intelectuales más relevantes de su tiempo, destacan los trabajos de translatio y de compilatio que alumbró su scriptorium. La monografía recoge algunas de las ponencias presentadas en dicho simposio. Con la determinación de centrar el foco temático en el usus scribendi del período bajomedieval, se recogen también otros estudios que reflexionan acerca de los procesos editoriales de aquel tiempo.

Diàlegs gais, lesbians, queer / Diálogos gays, lesbianos, queer
En los últimos años, los estudios de identidad y género han enriquecido notablemente el panorama intelectual. Con una perspectiva multidisciplinaria que va de las representaciones artísticas a las lingüísticas, de las teorías académicas al activismo político y al compromiso intelectual, los presentes diálogos someten a análisis conceptos, normas, prácticas, mitologías y estereotipos asociados a la sexualidad y al erotismo y nos animan a revisar las formulaciones convencionales de género e identidad.
Fictionalizing heterodoxy
The information overload produced by the printing press and the new forms of the structuring of knowledge are echoed in fictional works. The essays assembled in this book study the textualization of problematic forms of knowledge in medieval and early modern Spanish literature. Literary Works like the Libro buen amor, La Lozana Andaluza, or the Guzmán de Alfarache are read against the backdrop of scientific developments of their times.
