Activism through Poetry: Critical Spanish Poems in Translation is a compiled anthology of translated poems, which explore cultural, political, social, and ecological issues in the context of contemporary Spain. The work highlights the active role that poetry plays in the debate of these issues.The anthology begins with an introduction, which provides a theoretical framework and a critical analysis of each poem. It is an important contribution in the academic context and also in the more general context of international social and political action. It constitutes the first bilingual translation of selected poems written by well-known and emergent contemporary critical poets from Spain. The five sections (Historical Memory, Ecology, Political and Social Issues, Patriarchy, and Capitalism) feature four poems with a total of twenty poems (ten written by women and ten written by men). These poets are activists whose poetry comments on society and, more importantly, wants to have an impact on it. The poetic art that is born from ethical commitment has the potential to call attention not only to the realities of the world we live in but also to the possibilities for transformation. Poetry, therefore, is ultimately a political act.

Informed by the interdisciplinary methodology of cultural studies, Sites of Memory in Spain and Latin America is a significant addition to the growing corpus of studies in historical memory, particularly those reflecting issues concerning processes of historical memory in Hispanic societies. This collection is one of the few that covers a heterogeneous body of cultural products and social movements emerging in contemporary Spain and in the Latin American context spanning the pre-Columbian and colonial eras to the present.

This book presents an annotated edition, English translation, and an in-depth study of Lope de Vega’s La prueba de los ingenios. Through this translation, the authors aim to make this significant yet lesser-known work accessible to a wider audience, while providing scholarly insights into its historical, cultural, and literary contexts. The book's introduction explores themes of genre and gender hybridity, and socio-cultural self-fashioning, showcasing Lope's nuanced response to societal norms and his creative engagement with contemporary debates on authorship, professional theater, and gender issues. The annotations offer valuable commentary, guiding readers through the complex layers of Lope’s text and underscoring its relevance to both early modern and contemporary discussions on gender, sexuality, and social identity.
