Considering works from the Spanish canon - such as the "Poem of the Cid", "Conde Lucanor", "Lazarillo", the Spanish "Comedia", and Garcilaso's poetry - as well as literary areas that have been marginalized (texts written by 19th-century Spanish women, and the problem of anthologizing the multivocal 20th-century Latin American women poets) are considered within the political context of textual editing.

Considers current events through an examination of this seventeenth-century philosopher.In recent years there has been a revival of interest in the writings of Baltasar GraciÁn, a seventeenth-century Spanish Jesuit who explored the political uses of rhetoric. GraciÁn is best known in the United States for his bestselling collection of aphorisms entitled The Art of Worldly Wisdom, but his pragmatic philosophy has been influential in Europe since the mid-seventeenth century. The essays in this volume focus on the relevance of GraciÁn’s writings in our own day, when the importance of rhetoric as a discipline necessary to manage public life is indisputable. Ranging in focus and theoretical perspective from Lacanian psychoanalysis to the sociology of everyday life, from considerations of aesthetics and philosophy to examinations of the culture of the baroque, these essays demonstrate that GraciÁn’s work offers insights into the deployment of rhetoric under the “New World Order.” Contributors: Luis F.

This volume, which includes essays on Catalonia, the Basque country, Galicia, and literature written by African immigrants, focuses on issues of ""difference"" that are at the center of current debates in Spain and elsewhere--the emergence of minoritized literatures, multilingualism and identity, new relationships between culture and institutions, the negotiation of historical memories, the connections between migrations and the redefinition of nationhood, and the impact of global trends on local symbolic systems.
