Produktbeschreibung

A Literary Map of Spain in the 21st Century is a unique scholarly publication that participates in the debates of literary researchers by exploring the linguistic and literary map of Spain in the twenty-first century. Each chapter is centered in a particular cultural and linguistic area of Spain; and there the study extrapolates to other regions of interest. This book covers all or at least most of the sociolinguistic and literary environments of Spain. It is a comprehensive study of the new trends and attitudes towards linguistic and literary coexistence in a linguistically diverse nation. By painting a panoramic retrospective view of the evolution of this coexistence during the twenty-first century, Graciela Susana Boruszko brings new light to the current global scenario.
The comparative approach of the study constitutes an excellent scholar contribution to the field of comparative literature and linguistics, Spanish linguistics, and Spanish cultural studies. While being centered in literary and linguistic analysis, this book will also appeal to scholars in adjacent academic fields, such as political science, sociology, sociolinguistics, ethnolinguistics, psycholinguistics, contemporary history, social studies, cultural studies, intercultural studies, gender studies, and European studies.

Rezensionen

«Graciela Susana Boruszko leads the reader on a brave journey aimed at erasing the borders between autonomous communities and regions in the Spanish state and beyond to the Canary Islands, and to the new hybrid spaces created by emigration and exile in the New World. She extracts from literary sources all that is diverse in these new voices, as well as the common heritage that still links them through memory and experience (rather than language or nationality) in a common globalized world, rather than in a claustrophobic and repressive space defined by internal borders and theformer imperial dominions. In her analysis of the peripheries, Boruszko does not forget the very interesting voices of immigrant experiences in the Spanish state and women voices as traditionally marginalized voices. These hybrid spaces are part and parcel of the twenty-first century narratives analyzed by Graciela Boruszko through a literary cartography - a literary topography imbued of the individual's affective life, memories, and places transposed into literary discourse. With illustrious antecedents such as Franco Moretti's literary geography, Boruszko applies her personal literary cartography approach to the diverse and fragmented literary voices from the Iberian cultural sphere. The result is a surprisingly harmonious whole that makes the book an indispensable companion to contemporary literary and cultural studies.» (Viola Giulia Miglio, Associate Professor, Department of Spanish and Portuguese, University of California, Santa Barbara)
