Produktbeschreibung

"Addressing questions of gender, identities and diasporic experiences, this book brings us face to face with the vigor of contemporary Galician studies, ranging from literature and cinema to language and the visual arts. A multidisciplinary, innovative dialogue rooted in alternate cultural and academic contexts at both sides of the Atlantic."

-Rosario Álvarez Blanco, University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain

"A highly compelling volume offering innovative and ground-breaking perspectives on both historical and contemporary debates within Galician Cultural Studies. In this provocative interdisciplinary work, the editors compiled thought-provoking chapters covering a diverse range of cultural practices such as literary traditions, films, art, ethnography, music, language practices and the politics of identity. This book promises to become one of the most stimulating books in the vibrant and growing field of Galician Studies."

-Olga Castro, University of Warwick, UK

This book, bringing together a multi-voiced dialogue between academic scholars and professionals from diverse fields, shares a comprehensive and heterogeneous look at the interdisciplinarity of Galician Studies while examining a chronologically broad range of subjects from the 1800s to the present.

This volume carves out a distinct approach to gender studies investigating issues of culture, language, displacement, counterculture artists, and community projects as related to questions of politics, gender and class. Women, conceived as both individual and political bodies, are studied, among other things, as an example of what it means to struggle from the margins emphasizing the importance of looking at the opposition between the center and the peripheries when studying the relationship between space and culture.
