This dictionary responds to a triple wish: it first intends to establish the balance sheet of several decades of theoretical reflection, more than forty years after the publication of Philippe Lejeune's autobiographical pact (1975).

Bourgeois, Betrand. "Ut pictura poesis : Huysmans, la critique d'art et le poème en prose," in Solal, J. (ed.,). Huysmans et les arts. Lettres Modernes Minard, de Classiques Garnier, 2016.

As an art critic, J.-K. Huysmans is interested in the artists of his time and those of the past.

The astonishing diversity of aesthetic possibilities offered by the book as a material support from the end of the 19th century to the most contemporary experiments, is at the heart of the reflection proposed in this book. The page, the leaflet and the book, the screen too, go beyond the framework of the codex and the bound book (fan book, leporello, collection of posters, book drawn, carved book, exploded book, digital book, etc.) by the heterogeneity of their materials, shapes and formats.

The nationalist projects of the long nineteenth century in Europe sought to define and contain the national self by positing concepts of national character and incommensurable national difference. Scholarship on European nationalisms has shown that national identity is inherently gendered, as can be seen from the gendered division of the public and private spheres, the exclusion of women from nation-building projects, the gendered politics of culture and from gendered allegories of the nation itself... This collection of essays, spanning the long nineteenth century from the revolutionary late-eighteenth century to the pre-WWI period in the twentieth century, explores the varied ways in which the transnational encounter contributed to or contested the gendered paradigm of nineteenth-century nationalisms.

What is the "self" and the "foreign" in the age of globalisation? How should a culture or a nation define itself and how would individuals deal with questions of identity in a world in which the belonging to a culture or to a nation no longer provides relatively stable categories for the formation and articulation of identity? This book provides in-depth analysis of literary and biographical texts, film and performance practices in the German speaking countries from the 17th century to the present and offers a study of the links and demarcations between language, culture and identity.

The specialist communication research that has emerged from specialist language research can claim numerous groundbreaking findings in the range of topics. Paradigmatically, it is closely linked to the methods of interdisciplinarity. In her Wissenschafts position she oscillates between linguistics, translation studies, subject research and cultural studies as an independent discipline with a focus on practical application. It is sensitive to the needs of the public and offers creative perspectives for professional communication and translation into other cultures. More information...

A global network is indispensable for the profiling of a scientific discipline such as German studies, especially in a country like Australia, whose geostrategic situation does not reflect the obviousness of a strong Germanist research in the same way as in the European area. This requirement should be taken into account by the Australian Yearbook for German Literature and Cultural Studies Limbus. More information...

Interculturality remains an important avenue of enquiry that continues to yield new findings in the interrelated disciplines of Germanistik and German performance and cinema studies. For scholars researching outside the traditional centres of German Germanistik, particularly those working in Australia and New Zealand, the United States of America, Japan and on the periphery of the Federal Republic of Germany, the theme of the intercultural encounter and the question of intercultural methodologies have enduring appeal and value. This volume brings together recent research on interculturality by scholars from five continents. More information...

Drawing on a wide variety of sources published in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Latin, German, English, and Zapotec, this volume brings a global perspective to the history of translators, and the printed book. Together the essays point out the extent to which particular language cultures were liable to shift, overlap, shrink, and expand during one of the most defining periods in the history of print culture.

This volume targets key issues in the controversies that revolve around migration in contemporary Italy, adopting an interdisciplinary approach to works of fiction and non-fiction. It aims to move the discourse forward from migration to transmigration; from nationalism to transnationalism. All too frequently we read stories about boats full of hopeful refugees capsizing off the coast of Italy, or of hundreds of migrants being returned to their own countries after unsuccessful attempts to enter Europe. Who are these people, and what has led them to take such desperate actions? More information...

Favoretto, Mara. Luis Alberto Spinetta: Mito y Mitología. Buenos Aires: Gourmet Musical Ediciones, 2017.

The poetic work of Luis Alberto Spinetta, in appearance, appears as an indescribable chaos. However, it obeys a coherent structure, according to the four basic functions of mythology (Campbell 1988). His poetry deals with existential issues and tries to reconcile opposites to put an end to the anguish generated by the separation of man from the cosmos (Lévi-Strauss 1978)... This work explores the functions of mythology in the songs of Luis Alberto Spinetta in order to suggest a perspective from which to begin to understand part of his legacy. More information...

This volume analyzes the plurality of experiences, perceptions and representations of non-hegemonic masculinities in Spanish society and culture over the last three decades. Its objective is twofold: to delve into the discourses and figurations of gay, lesbian and trans masculinities through very diverse documents, with a clearly interdisciplinary will, in order to illuminate a reality scarcely served by the human and social sciences in Spain. It is especially pertinent to introduce and value the productivity in this context of a concept such as "masculinity", which should be associated with the power structures derived from the legitimation of patriarchy, for the analysis of "sexual dissidence" in our recent history.

Hearn, Adrian and Myers, Margaret (eds.,). The Changing Currents of Transpacific Integration: China, the TPP, and Beyond . Lynne Rienner Publishers, 2016.

This comprehensive assessment of transpacific economic integration explores the many ways that new approaches to multilateral cooperation, and notably the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), are transforming the regional landscape. Reflecting diverse views on the merits of new and wide-ranging agreements, the authors consider: To what extent will the TPP facilitate the US "pivot" to Asia at a time when China, not a TPP member, is attempting to shape regional economic dynamics?

Until recently, Australia and Latin America were considered irrelevant to one another. The prevailing perception in Australia had been that Latin America was too remote, disconnected, and politically irrelevant to warrant serious scholarly or public attention. This pioneering interdisciplinary book ventures into the new space of Australian-Latin American relations, exploring multiple dimensions of the rapidly changing landscape within a global context.

Favoretto, Mara. "Violence and Celebration: Images of Women and Political Use of Popular Culture under the Kirchner Administration," in Ulloa, T. and Morazzani, J. (eds.,). Images of Women in Hispanic Culture. Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2016.

This book studies the ways traditional polarized images of women have been used and challenged in the Hispanic world, especially during the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century by writers and the media, but also in earlier time periods. The chapters analyze the image of women in specific political periods such as Francoism or the Kirchners' administration, stereotypes of women in films in Mexico and Chile, and the representation of women in textbooks, among other topics.

Pym, Anthony. Translation Solutions for Many Languages: Histories of a flawed dream. Bloomsbury Publishing, 2016.

Many "translation solutions" (often called "procedures," “"echniques," or "strategies") have been proposed over the past 50 years or so in French, Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian, English, Spanish, German, Japanese, Italian, Czech, and Slovak. This book analyzes, criticizes and compares them, proposing a new list of solutions that can be used in training translators to work between many languages. The book also traces out an entirely new history of contemporary translation studies. More information...

Favoretto, Mara. "Charly García: el "Lewis Carroll" del rock and roll argentino," in Illiano , R. (ed.,). Protest Music in the Twentieth Century. Brepols Publishers, 2015.

The subject of this monograph is protest music and 'dissident' composers and musicians during the twentieth century, with a particular focus on the forms with which dissent may be expressed in music and the ways composers and performers have adopted stances on political and social dissent. In the present volume, twenty-one articles by scholars of different nationalities explore not only the way in which protest music is articulated in artistic-cultural discourse and the political matter, but also the role it played in situations of mutual benefit.

Expósito, Alfredo Martínez (ed.,). Cuestión de imagen: cine y Marca España (Image Issue: Film and Brand Spain). Vol. 24 Vigo Academia del Hispanismo, 2015.

The essays gathered in this volume interrogate from several angles the images of a reconstructed Spain that Spanish cinema of the last years of the 20th century and of the first decade of the 21st century transmits to national and international audiences. Different meanings of the term image and its different uses are addressed, in a deliberate attempt to problematize apparently stable notions such as country image, national reputation, stereotype, and cultural perception.

Pym, Anthony. "The medieval postmodern in Translation Studies," in Fuertes, A. and Torres-Simón, E. (eds.,). And Translation Changed the World (and the World Changed Translation). Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2015.

Communication is the basis for human societies, while contact between communities is the basis for translation. Whether by conflict or cooperation, translation has played a major role in the evolution of societies and it has evolved with them. This volume offers different perspectives on, and approaches to, similar topics and situations within different countries and cultures through the work of young scholars. More information...

Favoretto, M. Charly en el país de las alegorías: Un viaje por las letras de Charly García. Buenos Aires: Gourmet Musical Ediciones, 2014.

Allegory destroys our expectations that the words say what they mean. Although it has been studied in film, visual arts and literature, it has rarely been addressed in popular music . The work of Charly García, one of the most important figures in the history of Argentine and Latin rock, is an excellent way to understand the different ways of expressing ideas through lyrics.

Re-thinking 'Identities': Cultural Articulations of Alterity and Resistance in the New Millennium. Peter Lang Publishing, 2014.

This volume sets out to re-imagine the theoretical and epistemological presuppositions of existing scholarship on identities. Despite a well-established body of scholarly texts that examine the concept from a wide range of perspectives, there is a surprising dearth of work on multiple, heterogeneous forms of identity. Numerous studies of ethnic, linguistic, regional and religious identities have appeared, but largely in isolation from one another. More information...

Lewis, Alison, Anderson, Lara and Benbow, Heather (eds.,). Other Encounters: European Writers and Gender in Transnational Context. Rohrig Universitatsverlag, 2014.

The nationalist projects of the long nineteenth century in Europe sought to define and contain the national self by positing concepts of national character and incommensurable national difference. Scholarship on European nationalisms has shown that national identity is inherently gendered, as can be seen from the gendered division of the public and private spheres, the exclusion of women from nation-building projects, the gendered politics of culture and from gendered allegories of the nation itself... This collection of essays, spanning the long nineteenth century from the revolutionary late-eighteenth century to the pre-WWI period in the twentieth century, explores the varied ways in which the transnational encounter contributed to or contested the gendered paradigm of nineteenth-century nationalisms.

The objective of Hispanic (LGT) Masculinities in Transition is to investigate the cultural representations/intersections of masculinity and sexual minorities (lesbians, gays, and transgenders) in Spain between the passing of the Law of Social Dangerousness and Social Rehabilitation (1970) and the reform of the Penal Code in 1995... This volume is essential reading for professors and students of contemporary Spanish history and culture, as well as for those interested in lesbian, gay, transgender, and masculinity issues.

La mitología presente en la obra literaria de Miguel de Cervantes convierte a sus novelas, poemas y piezas teatrales en un código de arte que exige una interpretación específica y en cierto modo también desbordante. Este volumen monográfico, el número 10 del Anuario de Estudios Cervantinos, está dedicado por entero al estudio de la mitología en la literatura cervantina, y examina de forma global la totalidad de su obra, desde la Galatea al Persiles, pasando por sus comedias, tragedia y entremeses, sus Novelas ejemplares, el Quijote y el Viaje del Parnaso. Casi una treintena de especialistas se ha ocupado de examinar al completo la presencia y significado de lo mitológico en la obra literaria de este autor clave en el Siglo de Oro español y en la literatura universal.

El sexo solo engaña, y solo se convierte efectivamente en una experiencia engañosa, cuando va acompañado del amor o del dinero. Cuando no es así, es decir, cuando vive emancipado de esta causa (la ilusión) y de aquella consecuencia (la prostitución), el sexo es lo que realmente es: pura razón práctica. La lógica del amor se disuelve en metáforas. La lógica del sexo se resuelve en la unión corporal y humana. More information...

Pym, Anthony. Method in Translation History (2nd edition). Routledge, 2014.

Starting from the critical notion that we should be asking questions of contemporary importance - and that 'importance' itself must be defined - Anthony Pym sets about undoing many of the currently dominant models of translation history, positing, among much else, that the object of this history should be translators as people, that researchers are subjectively involved in their object, that cultural systems are based on social will, that translators work in intercultural spaces, and that a model of cooperation through negotiation may be applied to the way translators (and researchers!) work between cultures.
