This book is devoted to medieval Iberian women, readers and writers. Focusing on the stories and texts women heard, visually experienced or read, and the stories that they rewrote, the work explores women’s experiences and cultural practices and their efforts to make sense of their place within their familial networks and communities. The study is based on two methodological and interpretive threads: a new paradigm to represent premodern reading and, a study of women’s writing, or, more precisely, women’s textualities, as a process of creating words but also acts, social practices, emotions and, ultimately, affectus, understood here as the embodiment of the ability to affect and be affected.
Spanishness in the Spanish Novel and Cinema of the 20th-21st Century is an exploration of the general concept of “Spanishness” as all things related to Spain, specifically as the multiple meanings of “Spanishness” and the different ways of being Spanish are depicted in 20th-21st century literary and cinematic fiction of Spain. This book also represents a call for a re-evaluation of what being Spanish means not just in post-Franco Spain but also in the Spain of the new millennium. The reader will find treatments of some of the crucial themes in Spanish culture such as immigration, nationalisms, and affiliation with the European Union as well as many others of contemporary relevance such as time, memory, and women studies that defy exclusivist and clear-cut single notions of Spanishness. These explorations will help contextualize what it means to be Spanish in present day Spain and in the light of globalization while also dissipating stereotypical notions of Spain and Spanishness.
This book provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art account of the field, reaffirming Iberian Studies as a dynamic and evolving discipline offering promising areas of future research. It is an essential tool for research in Iberian Studies.

Espadaña y las vanguardias continúa la serie iniciada en 1995 con el estudio sobre Escorial y la "Juventud Creadora". La reflexión teórica y crítica de que fue objeto la vanguardia durante los años cuarenta vuelve a ocupar un lugar de primer orden. Por otra parte, el protagonismo de la revista Espadaña en este período es un hecho indiscutible. En ella se dió cita un amplísimo abanico de posibilidades: desde el debate garcilasismo / neorromanticismo, el ensayo de síntesis que supuso la llamada "poesía total" o las polémicas que abrieron paso a la poesía social. Por eso, su análisis se convierte en una aventura apsionante, que nos pone en el punto de partida para la comprensión de gran parte de nuestra poesía contemporánea.
