Anderson, Lara. Control and Resistance: Food Discourse in Franco Spain. University of Toronto Press, 2020.

Control and Resistance reveals the various ways in which food writing of the early-Franco era was a potent political tool, producing ways of eating and thinking about food that privileged patriotism over personal desire. The author examines a diverse range of official and non-official food texts to highlight how discourse helped construct and contest identities in line with the three ideological pillars of the regime: autarky, prescriptive gender roles, and monolithic nationalism. Official food discourse produced an audience with a taste for local foodstuffs, and also created a unified gastronomic space in which regional cuisines were co-opted for the purposes of culinary nationalism.

Rizzi, Andrea, Lang, Birgit and Pym, Anthony. What is Translation History? A Trust-Based Approach. Palgrave, 2019.

This book presents a dynamic history of the ways in which translators are trusted and distrusted. Working from this premise, the authors develop an approach to translation that speaks to historians of literature, language, culture, society, science, translation and interpreting. By examining theories of trust from sociological, philosophical, and historical studies, and with reference to interdisciplinarity, the authors outline a methodology for approaching translation history and intercultural mediation from three discrete, concurrent perspectives on trust and translation: the interpersonal, the institutional and the regime-enacted.

Martinez-Exposito, A. Los escribas furiosos. Configuraciones homoeróticas en la narrativa española. Prensas Universitarias de América Latina.; Second edition, 2018.

The furious scribes: homoerotic configurations in the Spanish narrative aspires to make intelligible a vast volume of narrative texts whose common denominator resides in their contact with homosexuality, and that, on occasion, have been categorically excluded from any literary debate. Due precisely to this marginalised position within the literary system it has never been possible to speak of a homosexual genre; Critical accounts of modern Spanish literature have considered this dispersion as a sign of poor aesthetic or intellectual quality. The main idea of this book is precisely that there are structures that connect these texts to each other, structures that are clearly perceived through an intertextual awareness and repetitive procedures: insistence on similar arguments, construction of a series of typical characters, recurrence of certain metaphors, tendency to use certain formal moulds, etc. This type of literature, then, is endowed with a certain generic unit, based not only on the common use of the homophobic theme, but on the recurrence of certain formal features.

Contemporary Latin American Cinema investigates the ways in which neoliberal measures of privatisation, de-regularisation and austerity introduced in Latin America during the 1990s have impacted film production and film narratives.

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.

Expósito, Alfredo Martínez. "Alvaro Pombo y la defensa de la autenticidad homosexual," in Jimenez, M. (ed.,). Masculinidades disidentes. Barcelona: Icaria, 2016.

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.

Until recently, Australia and Latin America were considered irrelevant to one another.

The book also traces out an entirely new history of contemporary translation studies. More information...
