This book―aimed at both the general reader and the
specialist―offers a transatlantic, transnational, and
multidisciplinary cartography of the rapidly expanding
intellectual field of Galician Studies. In the twenty-one essays
that comprise the volume, leading scholars based in the United
States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand engage with
this field from the perspectives of queer theory, Atlantic and
diasporic thought, political ecology, hydropoetics, theories of
space, trauma and memory studies, exile, national/postnational
approaches, linguistic ideologies, ethnographic poetry and
photography, Galician language in the US academic curriculum, the
politics of children’s books, film and visual studies, the
interrelation of painting and literature, and material culture.
Structured around five organizational categories (Frames, Routes,
Readings, Teachings, and Visualities), and adopting a
pluricentric view of Galicia as an analytical subject of study,
the book brings cutting-edge debates in Galician Studies to a
broad international readership.
