Otherness in Hispanic Culture
This book addresses contemporary discourses on a wide variety of topics related to the ideological and epistemological changes of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, and the ways in which they have shaped the Spanish language and cultural manifestations in both Spain and Hispanic America. The majority of the chapters are concerned with ‘otherness’ in its various dimensions; the alien Other – foreign, immigrant, ethnically different, disempowered, female or minor – as well as the Other of different sexual orientation and/or ideology. Following Octavio Paz, otherness is expressed as the attempt to find the lost object of desire, the frustrating endeavour of the androgynous Plato wishing...
The Urban Fantastic in Nineteenth-Century European Literature
The Urban Fantastic in Nineteenth-Century European Literature explores transnational perspectives of modern city life in Europe by engaging with the fantastic tropes and metaphors used by writers of short fiction. Focusing on the literary city and literary representations of urban experience throughout the nineteenth century, the works discussed incorporate supernatural occurrences in a European city and the supernatural of these stories stems from and belongs to the city. The argument is structured around three primary themes. “Architectures”, “Encounters” and “Rhythms” make reference to three axes of city life: material space, human encounters, and movement. This thematic approach highlights cultural continuities and thus supports the use of the label of “urban fantastic” within and across the European traditions studied here.

Nostalgia de una patria imposible
En el presente volumen se reúne una breve «summa» de trabajos que intentaron desde su humilde voz recordar y revisitar la obra de Luis Cernuda. Si en su momento fue un poeta silenciado, el paso del tiempo ha demostrado que su obra se ha convertido en un lugar de paso obligado para quien quiera tener una idea ajustada de la tradición poética hispánica. Se dibuja así el perfil del hombre y el poeta atormentado por su propia circunstancia y por la pervivencia de su obra. Más allá del «olvido» y otras «desolaciones» queda su palabra para esquivar el funesto presagio de aquellos versos que decían: «Ahora duermo donde nunca despierto. / No saber más de mí mismo es algo triste».

Juan de Pareja: Afro-Hispanic Painter in the Age of Velázquez
Diego Velázquez’s portrait of Juan de Pareja (ca. 1608–1670) has long been a landmark of European art, but this provocative study focuses on its subject: an enslaved man who went on to build his own successful career as an artist. This catalogue—the first scholarly monograph on Pareja— discusses the painter’s ties to the Madrid School of the 1660s and revises our understanding of artistic production during Spain’s Golden Age, with a focus on enslaved artists and artisans. The authors illuminate the highly skilled labor within Seville’s multiracial society; the role of Black saints and confraternities in the promotion of Catholicism among enslaved populations; and early twentieth-century scholar Arturo Schomburg’s project to recover Pareja’s legacy. The book also includes the first illustrated and annotated list of known works attributed to Pareja.
