La universidad cercada
¿Qué le pasa a nuestra universidad? Se habla de cómo incidirá en ella el Plan Bolonia. Se establecen incluso distinciones pertinentes entre lo que este plan se proponía y la aplicación que de él hacen nuestras universidades. Se destaca, con razón, que la crisis proyectará al extranjero a muchos profesionales en cuya formación se han invertido cantidades ingentes de tiempo y recursos. Pero a nuestra universidad le ocurría ya algo antes de que estas novedades vinieran a complicar un cuadro complejo, más bien sombrío. Y ahora está cercada por diversos peligros, que se perfilan cada día. El volumen recoge los testimonios y reflexiones personales de eminentes catedráticos, y también de otros que han seguido en activo. Se propuso a los autores que escribieran sus textos con libertad, poniendo énfasis, si lo consideraban oportuno, en sus experiencias biográficas. El hecho de que se aprecie una convergencia notable entre los diagnósticos resulta tanto más revelador puesto que no se impuso un guión ni, por supuesto, un veredicto.

Less Translated Languages
This is the first collection of articles devoted entirely to less translated languages, a term that brings together well-known, widely used languages such as Arabic or Chinese, and long-neglected minority languages with power as the key word at play. It starts with some views on English, the dominant language in Translation as elsewhere, considers the role of translation for minority languages both a source of inequality and a means to overcome it , takes a look at translation from less translated major languages and cultures, and ends up with a closer look at translation into Catalan, a paradigmatic case of less translated language, in a final section that includes a vindication of six prominent Catalan translators. Combining sound theoretical insight and accurate analysis of relevant case studies, the contributors to this collection make a convincing case for a more thorough examination of less translated languages within the field of Translation Studies.
Literature as a Response to Cultural and Political Repression in Franco's Catalonia
A thoroughly researched and documented study of Catalan literature under the Franco regime, focussed on several key post-Civil War novels and their authors. During the 1950s and 1960s, several key Catalan authors set about rewriting some of their narrative work despite the obstacles to publication in Catalan under the Franco regime. This study describes the social, political and cultural conditions that impelled Salvador Espriu, Xavier Benguerel, Sebastià Juan Arbó and Joan Sales to revise Laia, El testament, Tino Costa and Incerta glòria, concentrating particularly on the linguistic debates and literary trends from the 1950s to the early 1970s. Drawing on a wide range of theoretical pers...

La mirada serena
Unamuno escribió que «la mirada glauca y serena de Miró ilumina cuanto mira». No está mal aludir desde la cubierta del libro a esta frase, porque el escritor alicantino ha figurado de manera destacada entre las preferencias del profesor Miguel Ángel Lozano, y a él están dedicados varios estudios contenidos en este libro. Y también porque, en el fondo, es a lo que aspiramos quienes nos dedicamos a los estudios literarios: a iluminar, más que lo que miramos, lo que leemos.
Nation, Language, and the Ethics of Translation
In recent years, scholarship on translation has moved well beyond the technicalities of converting one language into another and beyond conventional translation theory. With new technologies blurring distinctions between "the original" and its reproductions, and with globalization redefining national and cultural boundaries, "translation" is now emerging as a reformulated subject of lively, interdisciplinary debate. Nation, Language, and the Ethics of Translation enters the heart of this debate. It covers an exceptional range of topics, from simultaneous translation to legal theory, from the language of exile to the language of new nations, from the press to the cinema; and cultures and lang...
Thinking Barcelona
Thinking Barcelona studies the ideologies that redefined Barcelona during the 1980s and helped the city adapt to a new economy of tourism, culture, and services. Looking specifically at the lead-up to the 1992 Olympic Games and the urban renewal geared toward establishing Barcelona as a happy combination of European cosmopolitanism and Mediterranean rootedness, Edgar Illas situates Barcelona as a key example of contemporary urban rebranding after the fall of communism and the establishment of the neoliberal “end of history.” Looking at a host of materials associated with the games as well as contemporary architectural and literary works, he offers a compelling look at postmodern globalization as it manifests itself through urban regeneration.
The Art of Pere Joan
Born in Mallorca, Pere Joan Riera (known professionally as Pere Joan) thrived in the underground comics world, beginning in the mid-1970s with the self-published collections Baladas Urbanas and MuŽrdago, both of which were released almost immediately after the death of the dictator Francisco Franco and Spain's transition to democracy. The first monograph in English on a comics artist from the Spain, The Art of Pere Joan takes a topographical approach to reading comics, applying theories of cultural and urban geography to Pere Joan’s treament of space and landscape in his singular body of work. Balancing this goal with an exploration of specific works by Pere Joan, Benjamin Fraser demonstrates that looking at the thematic, structural, and aesthetic originality of the artist's landscape-driven work can help us begin to newly understand the representational properties of comics as a spatial medium. This in-depth examination reveals the resonance between the cultural landscapes of Mallorca and Pere Joan's metaphorical approach to both rural and urban environments in comics that weave emotional, ecological, and artistic strands in revolutionary ways.
