Gender, Displacement, and Cultural Networks of Galicia : 1800s to Present

"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." -- Provided by publisher Foreword: New Routes for a Global Field: Transatlantic Perspectives on Galician Studies Bibliography Contents Notes on Contributors Contents Part I: “Displacing” Galician Studies: Diasporic and Linguistic Perspectives A Place to Live and a Place to Die: Displacement and Settlement in Contemporary Galician Culture 1 A Cultural Translation of a Heidegger’s Work 2 Galician Studies in the Face of the Spatial Turn 3 Galician Culture From the Perspective of Diaspora Studies Bibliography Language as Object of Research Versus Language as Political Object: Old and New Horizons in the Study of Galician 1 Introduction 2 Language as a Political Object and Language as a Research Object 3 Precursors: Linguistic Research Prior to the 1960s 4 Linguistic Studies in Galician Universities: The Role of the Galician Language Institute 5 New Century, New Horizons: The Shift for Linguistics 6 Conclusion Bibliography Part II: Bodies, Sexes and Genders I: Intimate and Political Bodies Lobos Sucios: Nazis, Meigas and Mouros in the Galician Wolfram Mines During WWII 1 Resistance and Rebellion in the Galician Countryside 2 Documenting the Wolfram Mines of Galicia 3 Galicia as a Battlefield in WWII 4 Rescripting Francoist Cinema 5 History on Screen 6 Ancient Battles in Mythical Lands Bibliography Alma e o mar: About Love, Myths and Landscapes in Galicia 1 Questioning a Neoliberal Self: Work and Sex 2 Alma: Of Matriarchy and Galician Mythologies 3 Mar e Rochas [Sea and Rocks]: Galician Landscapes Bibliography Semellantes as feridas?
