Morbidities and "The Concept of the New Literature"
Ramón Gómez de la Serna (1888-1963) was one of Spain’s most gifted avant-gardists. Oftentimes remembered as the inventor of the greguería—a type of witty and humorous epigram that recasts the commonplace and absurdities of everyday reality—he was a prolific writer and published dozens of novels, essays, short stories, articles, editorials, and biographies throughout his life. Two of his major works—the autobiography Morbidities (1908), and the manifesto “The Concept of the New Literature” (1909)—belong to his earliest period of experimentation. These two early works are of singular importance not only in understanding his development as an avant-gardist, but also in analyzing Spanish literature within the broader framework of European avant-garde culture. With prescient clarity, they highlight many of the aesthetic notions that would revolutionize experimental literature throughout the modernist period. This book offers the first complete English translation of Morbidities and “The Concept of the New Literature,” and it introduces anglophone readers to some of Gómez de la Serna’s most passionate ideas about modernity and “new literature.”

Ramón Gómez de la Serna
A celebrity in his own day, who gave lectures dressed as Napoleon or seated on the back of an elephant, Ramón Gómez de la Serna is the most representative writer of the interwar Spanish avant-garde. This book explores Gómez de la Serna's art and his quest to break down the barriers between literature and life, addressing two elements - already present in his work - of radical relevance in today's cultural debates: the relation of humans to the material world and the reduction of all experience to a singular individuality. Bringing Gómez de la Serna to an Anglophone audience, it reveals him to be the embodiment of a new kind of art on both sides of the Atlantic.
Enemies Within
Can citizenship rights be denied to significant groups in a society that regards itself as civilized and self-governing? Is it possible to exclude such people in the name of freedom and reason? Is it plausible to explain classifications that differentiate between first- and second-class citizens as “natural”? This is the paradox inherent in modern politics, born of the revolutions that ended the Ancien Régime in the western world. Throughout the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth, liberalism inspired a representative form of government that appealed to citizenship, yet marginalized many social groups, including natives, women, immigrants, workers, slaves and nomads...
The Invention of the Colonial Americas
The story of Seville’s Archive of the Indies reveals how current views of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are based on radical historical revisionism in Spain in the late 1700s. The Invention of the Colonial Americas is an architectural history and media-archaeological study of changing theories and practices of government archives in Enlightenment Spain. It centers on an archive created in Seville for storing Spain’s pre-1760 documents about the New World. To fill this new archive, older archives elsewhere in Spain—spaces in which records about American history were stored together with records about European history—were dismembered. The Archive of the Indies thus construct...
Additional Essays on Seneca
This book contains nine essays on Lucius Annaeus Seneca, distinguished Stoic Philosopher, creative writer, and Statesman of the Neronian Age. As author of epistles, treatises, dialogues, dramas, and epigrams, he produced a variety of works that enriched Rome's literary achievement. Like the previous volumes - Essays on Seneca (Peter Lang, 1993) and Further Essays on Seneca (Peter Lang, 2001) - this book presents an in-depth analysis of the Cordoban Philosopher's thoughts and portrays his erudition, humanitas, artistry, and deep psychological understanding of the frailties and strengths of human nature.

L'Âne et la plume
Ce livre est consacré à l’une des œuvres majeures de Juan Ramón Jiménez, Platero y yo, qui, de façon surprenante, n’avait jamais fait l’objet d’une monographie. Dans ce volume est abordée la question de la réinvention des genres dans le cadre de la création poétique. Le poème en prose y est questionné et la définition proposée met en évidence un besoin de liberté qui le configure. Voilà pourquoi, selon l’auteur, il circule de façon fructueuse en même temps dans les eaux des trois genres. Cinq chapitres structurent le livre : I « Homme, animal et stratégies d’écriture », II « Espace et temps : chemin et voyage », III « Poétique de la couleur et de la lum...
La fabrique de l'écrivain
La fabrique de l'écrivain retrace la formation littéraire de Ramén Gômez de la Serna, auteur réputé inclassable précisément parce que les origines de son oeuvre sont méconnues. Contrairement à l'idée reçue selon laquelle Ramon serait devenu écrivain par génération spontanée, cet ouvrage s'intéresse à la façon dont il devint le centre d'un réseau, à l'enjeu des rencontres qui ramenèrent à occuper cette position, aux admirations et aux modèles qu'il n'a pas toujours reconnus, préférant diffuser de lui une image unique de créateur visionnaire et précurseur des avant-gardes en Espagne. La formule du succès ramonien, la gregueria, naît dans le cadre des années dix, une décennie longtemps plongée dans l'oubli historiographique, qui est pourtant un creuset où les héritages du siècle passé se décantent et où naissent de nouvelles formes littéraires. La prose ramonienne s'inscrit dans cette modernité lato sensu, offrant à un public de plus en plus large son écriture singulière.
