Call for Contributions
Galician Studies: Culture, Language, Identity
For the series World Literatures Reimagined, the MLA Publications Committee
has approved development of a volume of essays on Galician Studies. The
book’s principal editors, Kirsty Hooper (University of Oxford) and Manolo
Puga (Universidade de Vigo) seek contributions and ideas for the projected
volume.
The purpose of the proposed book is double: to provide a practical guide to
this little-known field and to redefine its limits by offering a
comprehensive and dynamic vision of post-1975 Galician culture in a global
context. The volume seeks to remedy the relative paucity of information
about Galicia on its own terms and in relation to the Spanish state and its
other two historical nationalities, Catalonia and the Basque Country. As
currently conceived, the book is in two parts: a section of essays on
conceptual and theoretical issues, and a section of essays on specific
cultural media. The editors seek well-argued and provocative essays that
reflect on the methodologies and assumptions that underpin both Galician
and Iberian Studies today. Interdisciplinary approaches are welcome.
Contributors will be asked to include annotated suggestions for further
reading and multimedia resources.
If you are interested in contributing, please e-mail as Microsoft Word
attachments a one- or two-page proposal and curriculum vitae to Kirsty
Hooper at <[log in to unmask]>
