Modern and Contemporary Spanish Women Poets
This study gives a comprehensive overview of women poets of Spain from the Romantic era to the present. It aims to give a developmental perspective, the sense of a whole poetry that spans more than a century. The breadth of the analysis is not only temporal: Catalans, Galicans, exiles, expatriates, and women poets who lived and wrote in Spain all fall within the critical sweep.
Gender, Displacement, and Cultural Networks of Galicia
This book, bringing together a multi-voiced dialogue between academic scholars and professionals from diverse fields, shares a comprehensive and heterogeneous look at the interdisciplinarity of Galician Studies while examining a chronologically broad range of subjects from the 1800s to the present. This volume carves out a distinct approach to gender studies investigating issues of culture, language, displacement, counterculture artists, and community projects as related to questions of politics, gender and class. Women, conceived as both individual and political bodies, are studied, among other things, as an example of what it means to struggle from the margins emphasizing the importance of looking at the opposition between the center and the peripheries when studying the relationship between space and culture.

Writing Bonds
This book focuses on the emergence of women poets from the 1980s to the present in both Ireland and Galicia. Departing from common ground in shared myths and comparable political and social circumstances, each contributor to this volume looks into central aspects of Irish and Galician identity issues, which range from configurations of the nation, nature and feminine paradigms, to the poets' elaborations on their own literary practice. The comparative approach followed shows both that questions raised in one community can find relevant answers in the other and that reciprocal knowledge helps to disseminate the writers' work - and the criticism of it - beyond their respective national borders. This collection of essays and interviews also provides both poets and critics with a mutual space in which to voice their concerns, thus bringing down the barrier that is often raised artificially between these two literary activities.
Vivir, unha aventura irrepetíbel
Este volume recolle a memoria da poeta, o seu testemuño persoal, acompañado da documentación que ata o de agora permanecía agochada no papel amarelecido dos xornais e das cartas. Coa liberdade como máxima vital, a protagonista deste libro atravesa o tempo da Guerra Civil, a experiencia amorosa, a maternidade e os anos de aprendizaxe en América. A carón da vocación literaria xorde a amizade con membros da xeración poética española do 27 e as horas compartidas con moitos dos escritores e artistas galegos do seu tempo.
The Princeton Handbook of Multicultural Poetries
Drawn from the acclaimed New Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics, the articles in this concise new reference book provide a complete survey of the poetic history and practice in every major national literature or cultural tradition in the world. As with the parent volume, which has sold over 10,000 copies since it was first published in 1993, the intended audience is general readers, journalists, students, teachers, and researchers. The editor's principle of selection was balance, and his goal was to embrace in a structured and reasoned way the diversity of poetry as it is known across the globe today. In compiling material on 106 cultures in 92 national literatures, the book gives ...
Languaging Experiences
This book is dedicated to the notion of languaging, which has recently gained recognition across many disciplines. From philosophy to linguistics, the foundations of the concept rest on the assumption that language is a way of knowing, making personal sense of the world, becoming conscious of oneself, and a means of creating one's identity. The very notion of languaging is still a fresh and unexplored concept in applied linguistics and deserves careful scrutiny. For this reason, the volume is ...
O morto asasinado e outros contos
Entre 1998 e 2012, María do Carme Kruckenberg publicou periodicamente, en edición non venal e co propósito de servir de agasallo ás amizades, un total de quince relatos breves acompañados de ilustracións de Eva Lloréns, Mercedes Lence, Gonzalo Suárez, Antón Goyanes e da propia autora. Eses relatos, xunto con outros sete publicados en 1999, reúnense neste libro. A experiencia vital da autora é a gran protagonista e o nexo destas pezas literarias nas que a sensibilidade da poeta, as súas vivencias e o pouso da memoria configuran un tecido feito de retallos, historias e impresións persoais sobre a vida e a xente. Unha ollada literaria que é o envés, tamén verdadeiro, da aventura irrepetible da poeta.
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.
Letras nómades – Experiencias da mobilidade feminina na literatura galega
"Letras nómades. Experiencias da mobilidade feminina na literatura Galega" examines –by means of biographical and personal documents which are supplied and justified by the contributors– the construction of identity in a context of exile, emigration, return, etc. This collection of essays analyses the migrant’s relationship, both physical and psychological, with the places of origin and destination. It also identifies the metaphors which articulate the narration and description of personal documents and, furthermore, focuses on the various representations of memory (scars, silence, oblivion, etc.) by Galician-language women writers. "Letras nómades. Experiencias da mobilidade feminin...
