Moving Beyond the Pandemic: English and American Studies in Spain
"Moving beyond the Pandemic: English and American Studies in Spain" contains the Proceedings of the 44th AEDEAN (Asociación española de estudios anglo-norteamericanos) Conference held in November, 2021 at the University of Cantabria, Spain. The volume is structured into four different sections: “Plenary Speakers”, “Language and Linguistics”, “Literature and Culture” and “Round Tables”.

Scripts of Blackness
Scripts of Blackness shows how the early modern mass media of theatre and performance culture at-large helped turn blackness into a racial category, that is, into a type of difference justifying emerging social hierarchies and power relations in a new world order driven by colonialism and capitalism. In this book, Noémie Ndiaye explores the techniques of impersonation used by white performers to represent Afro-diasporic people in England, France, and Spain in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, using a comparative and transnational framework. She reconstructs three specific performance techniques—black-up (cosmetic blackness), blackspeak (acoustic blackness), and black dances (kineti...
On the move
This volume brings together a selection of the papers and round tables delivered at the 39th AEDEAN Conference, held at the University of Deusto in November 2015. The essays in On the Move: Glancing Backwards to Build a Future in English Studies often begin with typically-academic gestures such as retrieving a classic text and finding new ways of studying its genre or characterization; or remarking how certain ungrammatical constructions have gone frequently unnoticed —even in well-known texts— for various reasons; or entangling oneself in contentions about the adequacy of dissecting a literary text or linguistic problem by using innovative analytical tools. In all cases, though, there i...
BRUTTO
Quello che accade a Ray è accaduto a tutti noi (o quasi) la prima volta che ci siamo innamorati. Le farfalle nello stomaco, le palpitazioni, il disperato bisogno di sapere se verrai corrisposto: insomma, tutte quelle straordinarie sensazioni che ci hanno fatto capire che stiamo crescendo. Ma per il nostro Ray Hillman quella strada è eccezionalmente in salita. Ray ha un difetto. La sua faccia è brutta. Non brutta ma interessante. Brutta e basta. Lui è senza dubbio un tipo socievole, divertente e affabile e questo lo mette su un piano positivo quando si relaziona con i suoi amici, ma le cose cambiano radicalmente se si trova di fronte a persone sconosciute. I loro sguardi perplessi sono come delle minacce, volte a rendere complicata la sua permanenza nel mondo. Essere veramente brutti non è uno scherzo. L’incontro con Susan gli farà capire che da una condizione come la sua si può uscire vincenti. Il sentimento verso di lei, che dapprima lo sconvolge, si muterà in un’opportunità. Lo costringerà ad affrontare la sua realtà da un diverso punto di vista.
