The Singer-Songwriter in Europe
The Singer-Songwriter in Europe is the first book to explore and compare the multifaceted discourses and practices of this figure within and across linguistic spaces in Europe and in dialogue with spaces beyond continental borders. The concept of the singer-songwriter is significant and much-debated for a variety of reasons. Many such musicians possess large and zealous followings, their output often esteemed politically and usually held up as the nearest popular music gets to high art, such facets often yielding sizeable economic benefits. Yet this figure, per se, has been the object of scant critical discussion, with individual practitioners celebrated for their isolated achievements inste...
Traces of Contamination
"Exposing two general perspectives, both manifestations of an authoritarian past that still holds a relationship with the present, this collection reveals the ideological legacy of the past and its experience as a distressing conditioner of the present. The dissonant elements of post-Franco discourse critically analyzed by our contributors challenge the seamless narrative that tells the successful story of the Spanish transition to democracy."--BOOK JACKET.

Recordando a Blas de Otero (1979-2009)», celebrado en Granada entre los días 27 y 29 de enero de 2010.

El libro se organiza en función de los ejes temáticos que atravesaron el Congreso: las diversas épocas y vertientes del compromiso oteriano, tanto las...

The book explores novels, essays and poetry published by Spanish writers in response to the global economic crisis that began in 2008. Spain has been experiencing the crisis in a particularly painful way, and the artistic response to these traumatic events has been powerful and abundant. The literature of the crisis is pointing to the probability that the crisis is not a temporary problem that will be resolved once and for all if correct economic measures are taken. To the contrary, there is every reason to believe that the losses in long-term employment, the growing precariousness of work, the increased economic insecurity, the citizens' disillusionment with the capacity of democratic gover...

Poetas hispanoamericanas contemporáneas
This volume brings together studies on poetics, poetic arts, and other metapoetic texts by contemporary women poets from Spanish America. The fundamental contribution of the book lies in the valorization of the metapoetic and self-reflexive element in poetry written by women, since research on the topic has focused primarily, until today, on male authors.
