Territories of the Visual in Spain and Spanish America
While studying the theory and contemporary impact of embodied viewing, this book celebrates the emergence and development of Visual Studies as a major subject of research and teaching in the field of Hispanic Studies within the UK over the last thirty years.
By exploring current routes of investigation, as well as analysing future pathways for study in the field, seven distinguished Spanish and Latin-American scholars examine their own entry into Visual Studies, and discuss the major trends and changes which have occurred in the field as matters of the visual gradually became embedded in higher-education curricula and research trajectories. Each scholar also lays out a current research project or interest, concerning Spain or Latin America within the visual field. The projects variously explore different mediaincluding film, sculpture, photography, dance, and performance artspread across a wide array of geographical locales, including Mexico, Cuba, mainland Spain, and the Canary Islands.
Offering a map of current and future research in the field, this book provides the first history of visual studies within UK Hispanism. It will be of lasting value to a wide range of scholars and advanced students of Spanish and Latin-American cultural, visual, and film studies. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Bulletin of Spanish Studies.
