A New History of Iberian Feminisms
A New History of Iberian Feminisms is both a chronological history and an analytical discussion of feminist thought in the Iberian Peninsula, including Portugal, and the territories of Spain - the Basque Provinces, Catalonia, and Galicia - from the eighteenth century to the present day. The Iberian Peninsula encompasses a dynamic and fraught history of feminism that had to contend with entrenched tradition and a dominant Catholic Church. Editors Silvia Bermúdez and Roberta Johnson and their contributors reveal the long and historical struggles of women living within various parts of the Iberian Peninsula to achieve full citizenship. A New History of Iberian Feminisms comprises a great deal of new scholarship, including nineteenth-century essays written by women on the topic of equality. By addressing these lost texts of feminist thought, Bermúdez, Johnson, and their contributors reveal that female equality, considered a dormant topic in the early nineteenth century, was very much part of the political conversation, and helped to launch the new feminist wave in the second half of the century.
Escribir con dos voces
España es un estado plurilingüe integrado por diversas lenguas autóctonas, además del español, que poseen una cultura distintiva y una rica tradición literaria: el asturiano, el catalán, el euskera o el gallego. Una parte de los habitantes de la península y sus islas, pues, son bilingües, y cuando se expresan literariamente presentan perfiles distintos: hablantes bilingües que escriben en una sola de las lenguas que conocen, que escriben textos diferentes (o no) en las dos lenguas que hablan y que se autotraducen de un idioma a otro. ‘Escribir con dos voces’ intenta observar cómo la elección de una lengua conocida (y no otra) influye en la creación de los escritores que domi...

Rerouting Galician Studies
This book—aimed at both the general reader and the specialist—offers a transatlantic, transnational, and multidisciplinary cartography of the rapidly expanding intellectual field of Galician Studies. In the twenty-one essays that comprise the volume, leading scholars based in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand engage with this field from the perspectives of queer theory, Atlantic and diasporic thought, political ecology, hydropoetics, theories of space, trauma and memory studies, exile, national/postnational approaches, linguistic ideologies, ethnographic poetry and photography, Galician language in the US academic curriculum, the politics of children’s books, film and visual studies, the interrelation of painting and literature, and material culture. Structured around five organizational categories (Frames, Routes, Readings, Teachings, and Visualities), and adopting a pluricentric view of Galicia as an analytical subject of study, the book brings cutting-edge debates in Galician Studies to a broad international readership.

The Idea of Europe
Recent developments within and beyond Europe have variously challenged the very idea of Europe, calling it into question and demanding reconsideration of its underlying assumptions. The essays collected here reassess the contemporary position of a perceived “European” identity in the world, overshadowed as it is by the long antecedents and current crisis of triumphalist Eurocentrism. While Eurocentrism itself is still a potent mind-set, it is now increasingly challenged by intra-European crises and by the emergence of autonomously non-European perceptions of Europe. The perspectives assembled here come from the fields of political, cultural and literary history, contemporary history, social and political science and philosophy. Contributors are: Damir Arsenijević, Luiza Bialasiewicz, Vladimir Biti, Lucia Boldrini, Gerard Delanty, César Domínguez, Nikol Dziub, Rodolphe Gasché, Aage Hansen-Löve, Shigemi Inaga, Joep Leerssen, and Vivian Liska.
As terceiras mulleres
Feminino e plural, As terceiras mulleres son figuras da multiplicidade que poden propiciar un achegamento á lenta e complexa intervención histórica das mulleres como "suxeitos". Este ensaio de ensaios intenta trazar un percorrido libre por distintas obras da tradición occidental, mostrando o diálogo entre a literatura, a música e as artes visuais de moi distintos tempos e lugares. En As terceiras mulleres, a autora amosa como as fillas de Anio, cantadas por Ovidio nas Metamorfoses, supoñen a emerxencia dunha posibilidade alternativa de concibir a relación entre os xéneros, tomada esta palabra no seu dobre sentido de "xénero sexual" e "xénero literario". A misteriosa raíña de Mallorca, o poema "Dona Flamenca" de Álvaro Cunqueiro e a canción de temática amorosa composta e interpretada por mulleres cubanas son outros dos temas sobre os que María do Cebreiro refléxiona e, a carón deles, sobrancean un orixinal achegamento ao pensamento literario de Virxinia Woolf ou a análise da fuxida dos discursos filosóficos e artísticos sobre o amor na sociedade contemporánea.

Eco-Impacts and the Greening of Postmodernity
Addressing a growing need to examine environmental issues from a cultural perspective, this innovative book adopts a cultural studies approach to reach a deeper understanding of the significance of ecological issues in our lives. Eco-Impacts and the Greening of Postmodernity explores such vital questions as: Can nature survive? How do academic disciplines engage with environmental crises? And, how do we map sustainable futures? The authors, Tom Jagtenberg and David McKie, bring a body of relevant literature into the debate - that stems from both cultural and environmental issues - as well as their own multidisciplinary perspectives on the subject.
