Ethics and Aesthetics of Translation
Ethics and Aesthetics of Translation engages with translation, in both theory and practice, as part of an interrogation of ethical as well as political thought in the work of three bilingual European authors: Bernardo Atxaga, Milan Kundera and Jorge Semprún. In approaching the work of these authors, the book draws upon the approaches to translation offered by Benjamin, Derrida, Ricœur and Deleuze to highlight a broad set of ethical questions, focused upon the limitations of the monolingual and the democratic possibilities of linguistic plurality; upon our innate desire to translate difference into similarity; and upon the ways in which translation responds to the challenges of individual a...

The Contemporary Spanish-American Novel

Sections on each writer include: *the author's reception in their native country, Spanish America, and Spain *biographical history *a critical examination of their work, including key themes and conceptual concerns *translation history *scholarly reception The Contemporary Spanish-American Novel offers an authoritative guide to a rich and varied novelistic tradition. It covers all demographic areas, including United States Latino authors, in exploring the diversity of this literature and its major themes, such as exile, migration, and gender representation.
Post-Global Aesthetics
Phenomena such as the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change, or the surge of political populism show that the current phase of accelerated globalization is over. New concepts are needed in order to respond to this exhaustion of the global project: the volume scrutinizes these responses in the aesthetic realm and under a "post-global" banner, while incorporating alternative, non-Western epistemologies and literatures of the post-colonial Global South.
Childhood in the Works of Silvina Ocampo and Alejandra Pizarnik

Francisco Umbral
Francisco Umbral. Memoria(s): entre mentiras y verdades reúne una serie de artículos en torno a las memorias novelísticas de Francisco Umbral (1932-2007). Este monográfico abarca, en una primera parte, la problemática de la ética en el ámbito político desde la Guerra Civil hasta los albores del tercer milenio (mentiras de Estado, propaganda, ilusiones y desencantos políticos...) y en una segunda parte, desarrolla el aspecto más cultural y sociológico de aquellos mismos años. El volumen está enfocado desde un prisma literario que entreteje realidad y ficción, verdades y mentiras, ética y estética, así como lo culto y lo popular. A lo cual cabe añadir el carácter subjetivo, polémico, lírico, carnavalesco o laudatorio, de una escritura testimonial que hace de Francisco Umbral uno de los memorialistas imprescindibles en la Historia de España del siglo XX.
