The Poetics of Epiphany in the Spanish Lyric of Today
Drawing on the poetry of four major voices in the Spanish lyric of today, Judith Nantell explores the epistemic works of Luis Muñoz, Abraham Gragera, Josep M. Rodríguez, and Ada Salas, arguing that, for them, the poem is the fundamental means of exploring the nature of both knowledge and poetry. In this first interpretive analysis of the epistemic nature of their poetry, Nantell innovatively engages these poets, each of whom has contributed one of their own poems along with a previously unpublished explication of their chosen poem. Each also provides an original biographical sketch to support Nantell’s development of a poetics of epiphany. Published by Bucknell University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.
Phoenicians and the Making of the Mediterranean
“An important new book...offers a powerful call for historians of the ancient Mediterranean to consider their implicit biases in writing ancient history and it provides an example of how more inclusive histories may be written.” —Denise Demetriou, New England Classical Journal “With a light touch and a masterful command of the literature, López-Ruiz replaces old ideas with a subtle and more accurate account of the extensive cross-cultural exchange patterns and economy driven by the Phoenician trade networks that ‘re-wired’ the Mediterranean world. A must read.” —J. G. Manning, author of The Open Sea “[A] substantial and important contribution...to the ancient history of th...
New Perspectives on Late Antiquity
Perhaps it is fully justified to think of Late Antiquity (3rd–7th centuries) as the first Renaissance of the Classical World. This period can be considered a fundamental landmark for the transmission of the Classical Legacy and the transition between the ancient and the medieval individual. During Late Antiquity the Classical Education or enkyklios paideia of Hellenism was linked definitively to the Judeo-Christian and Germanic elements that have modelled the Western World. The present volume combines diverse interests and methodologies with a single purpose—unity and diversity, as a Neo-Platonic motto—providing an overall picture of the new means of researching Late Antiquity. This co...
Center and periphery: Twenty-first-century literature, cinema, media from Spain
In a country where the richness of diverse cultures is often overshadowed by historical conflicts, this book delves into the complex relationship between the so-called “center” and “periphery” within Spain’s borders. Traditionally, the center has symbolized Castilian identity, while the periphery encompassed other regional cultures. But in today’s rapidly evolving social landscape, what do these terms really mean? This groundbreaking work reexamines the “center vs. periphery” paradigm through the lens of contemporary Spanish literature, cinema, and media. It poses critical questions about the existence and nature of a unified Spanish identity and investigates whether the tens...

Nuevas poéticas y redes sociales
La incorporación de la llamada generación millenial al ámbito de la literatura en general y de la poesía en particular, ha provocado un cambio en los modos de producción y recepción del poema. Los jóvenes utilizan ahora las herramientas digitales como algo inherente a su cotidianeidad, como la fórmula para intercomunicarse con el mundo (la amistad en ese entorno virtual se mide ahora en número de seguidores o de likes), especialmente en contextos no formales que al final son los que sustancian el día a día. Y con esos parámetros miran también la literatura. Las estructuras de difusión de la poesía han sufrido una evolución tan rápida y tan ágil hacia este camino de lo digital que ha pillado desprevenidos tanto al lector tradicional como a los autores que responden a parámetros canónicos.
