RELATOS DE VIAJES CONTEMPORÁNEOS por España y Portugal

La literatura de viajes escrita por autores españoles y portugueses ha gozado de una gran vitalidad a lo largo del último siglo y, a pesar de las interrogantes que suscita el mundo contemporáneo acerca de su viabilidad presente y futura, se sigue practicando. Por lo demás, el género despierta últimamente entre los críticos un interés renovado. Este libro, dedicado a los relatos de viajeros españoles y portugueses por la Península ibérica desde finales del siglo XIX, es una contribución a la reflexión actual sobre este género fronterizo en consonancia con un postmoderno cuestionamiento de las fronteras, -por articular diferentes formas de discursos, géneros y formas- , así como de los saberes constituidos ya que propone un "ir sabiendo" forjado al compás de una experiencia sensible y de su transformación literaria.
Managing Pandemic Isolation With Literature as Therapy
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people had to cope with isolation due to lockdown policies that forced them to engage in fewer social activities. People were confined to the small space of their dwellings and felt constrained and socially isolated and deprived of meaningful social interaction and affection, which caused stress and anxiety. Several initiatives were put in place to help diminish the effects of isolation, such as those involving literature either through writing or reading. Managing Pandemic Isolation With Literature as Therapy explains the positive medical and psychological effects of literature and writing during a pandemic at a time when isolation prevented people from engaging with others socially. Covering topics such as clinical psychology, brain neurology, and stress, this reference work is ideal for psychologists, medical professionals, policymakers, government officials, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.
Not So Innocent Abroad

With its specific focus on the connections between politics, travel, and travel writing, Not So Innocent Abroad offers a fresh approach to the study of travel literature. The authors make clear that travel and travel writing are never an “innocent” enterprise; rather, journeying always occurs within political systems, and travel writing either reflects the traveler’s political stance, includes political aspects of foreign cultures, or directly or indirectly influences political decisions. In contrast to most scholarly publications that primarily focus on travel literature of former colonial nations, this volume includes a broader range of travelogues depicting cultures worldwide, spanning from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century. It thus offers with its comparative approach not only a geographically wide selection but also an historical dimension to the political aspects of travel writing. Although most travel literature generally has followed the Horatian principle to instruct and delight the armchair traveler, the authors of this volume clearly address the broader political implications of travel and travel writing within networks of “naked” politics, such as international or interior conflicts, emigration laws, or national propaganda. They also reveal how insidiously political messages are dissimulated through travel writing.
