Managing Pandemic Isolation With Literature as Therapy
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people had to cope with isolation due to lockdown policies that forced them to engage in fewer social activities. People were confined to the small space of their dwellings and felt constrained and socially isolated and deprived of meaningful social interaction and affection, which caused stress and anxiety. Several initiatives were put in place to help diminish the effects of isolation, such as those involving literature either through writing or reading. Managing Pandemic Isolation With Literature as Therapy explains the positive medical and psychological effects of literature and writing during a pandemic at a time when isolation prevented people from engaging with others socially. Covering topics such as clinical psychology, brain neurology, and stress, this reference work is ideal for psychologists, medical professionals, policymakers, government officials, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.
The Conquest of the Desert
Winner of the 2021 Thomas McGann Book Prize from the Rocky Mountain Council for Latin American Studies For more than one hundred years, the Conquest of the Desert (1878-1885) has marked Argentina's historical passage between eras, standing at the gateway to the nation's "Golden Age" of progress, modernity, and--most contentiously--national whiteness and the "invisibilization" of Indigenous peoples. This traditional narrative has deeply influenced the ways in which many Argentines understand their nation's history, its laws and policies, and its cultural heritage. As such, the Conquest has shaped debates about the role of Indigenous peoples within Argentina in the past and present. The Conquest of the Desert brings together scholars from across disciplines to offer an interdisciplinary examination of the Conquest and its legacies. This collection explores issues of settler colonialism, Indigenous-state relations, genocide, borderlands, and Indigenous cultures and land rights through essays that reexamine one of Argentina's most important historical periods.

Creator Culture
Explores new perspectives on social media entertainment There is a new class of cultural producers—YouTube vloggers, Twitch gameplayers, Instagram influencers, TikTokers, Chinese wanghong, and others—who are part of a rapidly emerging and highly disruptive industry of monetized “user-generated” content. As this new wave of native social media entrepreneurs emerge, so do new formations of culture and the ways they are studied. In this volume, contributors draw on scholarship in media and communication studies, science and technology studies, and social media, Internet, and platform studies, in order to define this new field of study and the emergence of creator culture. Creator Cultur...
Current Perspectives on Literary Reading
This collection aims to provide answers regarding what the most recent trends are in research in literary reading. Based on that premise, it contains a rigorously selected and varied roster of investigations that focus on presenting and attempting to interpret and understand the most recent literary trends or tendencies, as well as the reasons for the propensities they create among the masses of young and adult readers. This selection of texts in English, Catalan and Spanish will give the reading specialist an idea of where today’s trends are headed, and how they point towards the formation of a new paradigm in matters of literature.

Nuevas visiones sobre el cómic
El cómic es uno de los medios más ricos y, sin embargo, menos explorados de la contemporaneidad. El presente libro da voz a algunos de los especialistas e investigadores internacionales más destacados en el estudio de esta manifestación artística, constituyendo uno de los mayores esfuerzos por abordar el estudio de la historieta desde la interdisciplinariedad. El enriquecimiento que supone el contraste de diferentes metodologías permite abordar la capacidad del cómic para reflejar nuestro presente, su fuerza como instrumento pedagógico o los vínculos, siempre existentes pero cada vez mayores, entre el cómic y las artes plásticas, la literatura, el diseño o, por supuesto, el cine
Un paseo por la blogosfera de la literatura infantil y juvenil española: de los «blogslijeros» a Facebook
Durante el curso académico 2012-2013 la Facultad de Traducción y Documentación de la Universidad de Salamanca ha cumplido sus primeros 20 años de vida. En el primer bloque se abordan las fuentes de información para usos especializados, área que constituye uno de los lazos indiscutibles entre nuestras disciplinas; su uso es una actividad cotidiana para los unos y su análisis una de las razones de ser para los otros. Ese interés compartido es germen de una colaboración constante, donde la selección y el empleo de la información genera caminos de ida y vuelta ineludibles. El segundo bloque se centra en un ámbito caracterizado por la vertiente social de estos campos de conocimiento, ...
La enseñanza de la literatura hispanoamericana
Este volumen colectivo ofrece múltiples propuestas didácticas para introducir la literatura hispanoamericana en el aula de manera innovadora. Si algo unifica las contribuciones a este libro es que pretenden dar cabida a obras de escritores y escritoras del otro lado del Atlántico en cada una de las etapas educativas y, para ello, reflexionan sobre el lugar que ocupa la literatura hispanoamericana en el currículo y la necesidad de revisar los presupuestos para diseñar un recorrido curricular que ponga a disposición de los estudiantes un conjunto de obras y herramientas de análisis que les ayuden a vislumbrar el carácter transatlántico de la literatura
Lectura, sociedad y redes: Colaboración, visibilidad y recomendación en el ecosistema del libro
Si hay algo que caracteriza a la lectura es su vocación comunicativa, de socialización, de intercambio, dialógica. Como una de las formas de conocimiento más sutiles que ha inventado la humanidad, esta actividad implica a todos los actores involucrados en la misma, pero sobre todo a los lectores, de manera individual o colectiva. Un buen libro leído compele a su difusión, al intercambio de pareceres, a la recomendación, pero también a la intervención, articulando un dialogo, indirecto, a través de anotaciones en la obra, o directo, a través de redes sociales u otros medios, con otros lectores y/o con el autor. El espacio de la lectura es el de la transición entre el pensamiento c...
