Latin America and Refugee Protection - Regimes, Logics, and Challenges

Looking at refugee protection in Latin America, this landmark edited collection assesses what the region has achieved in recent years. It analyses Latin America’s main documents in refugee protection, evaluates the particular aspects of different regimes, and reviews their emergence, development and effect, to develop understanding of refugee protection in the region.

Drawing from multidisciplinary texts from both leading academics and practitioners, this comprehensive, innovative and highly topical book adopts an analytical framework to understand and improve Latin America’s protection of refugees.

"It is a very important book… not only because of its quality but also because there is nothing like this in the market in English, Spanish or Portuguese." Diego Acosta, University of Bristol

The Secret Life Vol. 2

THE SECRET LIFE, Salvador Dali's first volume of autobiography, was completed in 1941 and comprises one of modern art's most revelatory - and revolutionary - literary documents. From Dali's birth, childhood and adolescence, during which we learn of the crucial events and influences which moulded his unique perspectives on life, art, sexuality and philosophy, THE SECRET LIFE goes on to record the artist's inexorable ascendency to global renown starting with the Surrealist movement in 1920s Paris, and culminating in his conquest of America in the 1930s.

THE SECRET LIFE Volume One documents the years 1925 to 1940, and presents an illuminating memoir of the artist's extraordinary rise to global prominence as the living embodiment of Surrealism, a flamboyant polymath and most the famous painter in the world of modern art.

This new edition of THE SECRET LIFE is updated and corrected, and also contains a complementary chronology of Dali's life and works.

Author: Salvador Dali (May 1904 – January 1989) was a Spanish surrealist artist renowned for his technical skill, precise draftsmanship, and the striking and bizarre images in his work. He joined the Surrealist group in 1929, soon becoming one of its leading exponents. His best-known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in 1931.

Knowledge Exchanges Between Portugal and Europe - Maritime Diplomacy, Espionage, and Nautical Science in the Early Modern World (15th-17th Centuries)

Following recent historiographical appeals on the need to study knowledge exchanges between European maritime rivals and their impact on overseas expansionist processes, this book makes this study for the Portuguese overseas empire between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries. As the first European maritime power to systematically launch long-distance voyages, Portugal became a model worth emulation when Spain, France, England and the Dutch Republic started their own overseas enterprises.

In different chapters that each adopt a case study relation (Portugal-Spain, Portugal-England, Portugal-France and Portugal-Dutch Republic), this book documents how Portuguese maritime knowledge was outsourced by its maritime rivals. The impact that Portuguese nautical knowledge had is evaluated, resorting particularly to a wide range of diplomatic and espionage documents.

Finally, the book discusses the alleged Iberian secrecy policies regarding maritime knowledge, explaining why there is no serious reason to consider their success.

Author: Nuno Vila-Santa is a post-doctoral fellow from the RUTTER project founded by the European Research Council. His main works deal with the history of the Portuguese overseas empire in Asia and with Portuguese connections to Europe in the 16th century

Early Modern Women's Mobility, Authority, and Agency Across the Spanish Empire

The new parameters of a global world in the early modern period gave rise to an expansion of movement that facilitated spatial and social mobility for women of different social ranks. Through their reexamination of archival documents and travel narratives, these essays investigate the opportunities for female mobility across the Spanish Empire, narrating the journeys of women who assumed new and unpredictable roles in distant environments. Some risked transoceanic journeys to hold positions of colonial power, while nuns traveled to found convents.

Portuguese and Genoese women financiers and merchants traversed the Mediterranean to command enterprises in different cities. Breaking with tradition, the noblewomen considered in these essays exercised political agency as ambassadresses and diplomatic spies at various European courts. Still other women fled across borders from oppressive marriages or cross-dressed as soldiers to perform adventurous feats in support of imperial causes. Their frequently distorted histories, authored by men, have been revised and rectified by the authors of this volume.

"Lewis's book successfully identifies a broadly shared Anglo-Norman understanding of animals and humans as creatures with ineluctably shared destinies." EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF LITERATURE, CULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT

The barks, hoots and howls of animals and birds pierce through the experience of medieval texts. In captivating episodes of communication between species, a mandrake shrieks when uprooted from the ground, a saint preaches to the animals, and a cuckoo causes turmoil at the parliament of birds with his familiar call.

This book considers a range of such episodes in Old French verse texts, including bestiaries, treatises on language, the Life of Saint Francis of Assisi and the Fables by Marie de France, aiming to reconceptualize and reinterpret animal soundscapes.

Derivative Lives - Biofiction, Uncertainty, and Speculative Risk in Contemporary Spanish Narrative

Drawing on theories of risk and uncertainty, Derivative Lives considers the surge in biofiction in Spain and globally, relating literary expression to concepts such as circumstantiality, derivatives, speculation, and game studies.

Derivative Lives nos ofrece una profunda, amena, necesaria y muy interesante indagación de las borrosas fronteras entre lo real y lo ficticio, en un mundo cada vez más impreciso en donde ni siquiera la propia identidad resulta fiable. Rosa Montero, writer, author of El peligro de estar cuerda (2022)

"Considering the rich field of Spanish biofiction in relation to concepts of uncertainty, speculation, and risk in a post-truth age, Rademacher’s Derivative Lives establishes an exciting interdisciplinary nexus. In the course of this study, Rademacher expands the scope and ambition of biofiction studies." Bethany Layne, Senior Lecturer in English Literature, De Montfort University, UK

"With case studies drawn from some of contemporary Spain’s most exciting writers, this is an original and compellingly theorized exploration of how biofiction works to understand, vex, exploit, or otherwise experiment with questions of uncertainty, identity, and risk in the supermodern present. Rademacher engages playfully and productively with disciplinary discourses emerging from fields such as law, finance and economics - which similarly contend with competing claims to truth and value - and dives deep into the circumstantial and speculative games that authors play when they write fiction about reality." Samuel Amago, Professor of Spanish, University of Virginia, USA

"Derivative Lives is undoubtedly a very interesting approach to the phenomenon of biofiction in Spain in the last two decades. The reader ignorant of Spanish culture will find fine analyses of well-chosen texts, by canonical authors or not, that dwell on the creation of other lives, other possibilities, personal or not, and that serve to discuss the uses of post-truth, truth, fiction and reality, all concepts that the supposedly moribund postmodernism has put back on the table, in a context different from the one that saw its birth. The book is very well organized, has a generous and accurate use of an abundant bibliography, the notes are numerous and pertinent, in an ambitious work on the diverse possibilities of biofiction." Life Writing

"A brilliant analysis of the Spanish biofictional novel within the wider context of contemporary thought. Virginia Rademacher examines research from both within and beyond the field of literary criticism to show how biofiction as a genre challenges the notion of history as an abstraction or an irretrievable reality by depicting how real people deal with specific historical situations. Rademacher's command of modern history, intellectual currents, and the Spanish bio-novel is indeed impressive." Bárbara Mujica, author of Frida, Sister Teresa, I Am Venus and Miss del Río

Author: Virginia Newhall Rademacher is Professor of Hispanic Literature and Cultural Studies at Babson College, USA. She has published widely on genre, identity, and new narrative formats, including the contemporary surge in biofiction. Among others, her publications have appeared in a/b:Auto/Biography Studies, American Book Review, Persona Studies, Economistas, Hispanic Issues, Journal of Spanish Cultural Studies, Ciberletras, and Monographic Review.

Indigeneity in Latin American Cinema

Indigeneity in Latin American Cinema explores how contemporary films (2000-2020) participate in the evolution and circulation of images and sounds that in many ways define how indigenous communities are imagined, at a local, regional and global scale.

The volume reviews the diversity of portrayals from a chronological, geopolitical, linguistic, epistemic-ontological, transnational and intersectional, paradigm-changing and self-representational perspective, allocating one chapter to each theme. The corpus of this study consists of 68 fictional features directed by non-indigenous filmmakers, 31 cinematic works produced by indigenous directors/communities, and 22 Cine Regional (Regional Cinema) films. The book also draws upon a significant number of engravings, drawings, paintings, photographs and films, produced between 1493 and 2000, as primary sources for the historical review of the visual representations of indigeneity.

Through content and close (textual) analysis, interviews with audiences, surveys and social media posts analysis, the author looks at the contexts in which Latin American films circulate in international festivals and the paradigm shifts introduced by self-representational cinema and Roma (Mexico, 2018). Conclusively, the author provides the foundations of histrionic indigeneity, a theory that explains how overtly histrionic proclivities play a significant role in depictions of an imagined indigenous Other in recent films.

"This book succeeds in going beyond the traditional approach in studying the Amerindian in global northern visual culture. In fact, anyone interested in the colonial heritage of the Americas should take careful note of the author’s conclusions." Arij Ouweneel, former professor of Amerindian Studies Utrecht University and the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and author of Resilient Memories: Amerindian Cognitive Schemas in Latin American Art (2018)

"Indigeneity in Latin American Cinema is a tour de force; this book takes a bold approach to examining how contemporary indigenous representation in Latin American cinema has been subject to racist and othering practices through what Gonzalez Rodriguez convincingly calls “histrionic indigeneity” as these films circulate through international film festivals and other Global South-North trajectories. This frank look at contemporary practices is a must read for any scholars interested in the ways in which indigenous visual culture and the cinema has been imagined historically to the present day." Tamara L. Falicov, author of Latin American Film Industries and the Cinematic Tango: Contemporary Argentine Film

"This is an essential and highly original text that sharpens our understanding of the representation of indigeneity across Latin American cinema. It takes a much-needed interdisciplinary and decolonizing approach that disrupts older paradigms and reveals a richly diverse treatment of indigenous communities in film." Sarah Barrow, Professor of Film and Media, University of East Anglia, UK

Author: Milton Fernando Gonzalez Rodriguez is a Marie Sklodowska Curie Fellow at the Faculty of Arts, KU Leuven, Belgium, and author of Ontologies and Natures: Knowledge about Health in Visual Culture(2022). The focus of his research lies on the historical evolution, circulation and materialization of representations, artefacts and ideas from a visual, linguistic and epistemic perspective. His previous and current affiliations include the University of Iceland and University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Anglo-Hispania beyond the Black Legend: British Campaigns, Travellers and Attitudes towards Spain since 1489

This book traces and analyses the relationship between Britain and Spain in its various forms since 1489. So often viewed as antagonistic rivals in history, the two countries are here compared and contrasted in order to shed light on their international connection and how this has evolved over time. Mark Lawrence reflects on the similarities of their composite monarchies, their roles as successive projectors of European global power, and the common fondness for peculiarly patriotic expressions of Christianity through the ages. At the same time, Lawrence is alert to recognising other ways in which Britain and Spain have seemed worlds apart in their respective corners of the European continent. He examines how British Protestants excoriated Spain in a 'Black Legend', while Catholic propagandists dismissed rising English power as the work of pirates and heretics during the early modern period.

In a series of chronological chapters rich with a diverse range of sources, Anglo-Hispania beyond the Black Legend considers the cultural exchanges which flourished amidst the growth of travel and new ideas in the 18th century, the surprising alliances of the 19th century and the shared international causes of the 20th. Whereas Spaniards feared or admired Britain for its successful political and fiscal system, the book convincingly argues, Britons romanticised Iberia for its supposed failures. It ultimately concludes that British campaigns in the 1700s and 1800s established a Romantic Spain in memoir culture which the 20th century gradually dissolved in the ideological cauldron of the 1930s and the advent of mass tourism.

Author: Mark Lawrence is Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Kent, UK.He is the author of several books, including Spain's First Carlist War, 1833-40 (2014)and The Spanish Civil Wars (2017, Bloomsbury Academic).
