Finisterre II: Revisiting the Last Place on Earth. Migrations in Spanish and Latin American Culture and Literature is a collective aesthetic, historical, literary, and cultural analysis of how biopolitical, cultural, and economic trends have impacted narratives about migration in the Hispanic world. Considering migrants as protagonists of their stories, the book approaches the migrant as a subject of cultural patrimony and knowledge. The different articles, written by scholars from the United States, Japan, Norway, the United Kingdom, and Ecuador, examine how Hispanic art and narratives of migrancy allow us to re-evaluate the cultural understanding of borders.
Hydrocriticism and Colonialism in Latin America is organized around the critical and theoretical “turn” known as hydro-criticism, an innovative approach to the study of the ways in which bodies of water (oceans, seas, rivers, archipelagos, lakes, etc.) impact the study of history, culture, and society. This volume proposes a hydro-critical approach to issues related to the colonial period. The analysed texts demonstrate not only the presence of water and oceanic trajectories as metaphorical devices, but the inherent implication of navigation, ports, islandic territories, drainage systems, floodings and the like in configuration of collective imaginaries, from colonial times to the presen...

During early modern European expansion, America emerged as dynamic meeting ground, continuously forging multidirectional global encounters. Relating Continents dismisses the semantics of ‘encounter’ which, in the politics of naming, euphemistically substitutes invasive violence, but invests in the notion’s dimension as an enactment of literary, cultural, and social relations, fusing people, goods, texts, artifacts, ideas, and senses of belonging. Understanding the practice of relating as both connecting and narrating, this anthology investigates the linking of continents in Romance literary and cultural history, as well as the tales of entanglement produced in the process. The contributors revisit the worldwide impact of distant or in-person negotiations between conquerors and local actors; they assess how colonial interventions shift hemispheric native networks, and they examine the ties between America, Africa, and Asia. By doing so, they prove the global constitution of early modern Spanish and Portuguese American literatures, their historical and cultural contexts, and their long-lasting legacies.

En el presente libro se plantea un acercamiento problemático entre los campos del psicoanálisis y la hermenéutica. Las relaciones entre estas dos disciplinas son complejas tanto por su abordaje como por el debate que han suscitado cuando tienen por objeto las prácticas culturales. Los autores de este libro problematizan desde un punto de vista filosófico estas relaciones, preguntándose si el elemento de interpretación es preeminente al elemento crítico en el psicoanálisis, o bien, si el tipo de exégesis analítica puesta en marcha en el entorno psicoanalítico es de un género distinto al de la tradición hermenéutica.
