About
I am the author of Cultura herida: literatura y cine en la España democrática (Ediciones Libertarias, 2002). In this book I work with issues such as memory, spectacle, trauma, and violence as they are articulated in the cultural production of the eighties and the nineties in Spain, always in tension with the 'Franquista' past.
I have published a number of articles on Teresa de Jesús, Miguel de Unamuno, Juan Goytisolo, Ana Rossetti, Leopoldo 'Alas' Clarín, as well on topics such as violence and memory both in contemporary literature and film.
Recently I have edited a monographic issue for Journal of Spanish Cultural Studies titled " Critical Interventions on Violence". Currently I am working on a book titled Galicia y sus fronteras: Escritores, márgenes y el canon nacional (siglos xix y xx) in which I trace the formation of a regional and national canon, emphasizing cultural phenomena such as migration, language, etc.
