Die Literatur zum Stadtteil Lavapiés, seit der Hofverlegung nach Madrid 1561, thematisiert Meeresimaginarien, die das kulturelle Gedächtnis prägen. Der Blick auf Lavapiés als Raum sozialen und politischen Engagements wird durch maritime Vorstellungen neu interpretiert, was zu dynamischen Identitätsentwürfen führt.

Focusing on Gloria Anzaldúa's innovative literary contributions, this book delves into her role as a pivotal figure in feminist and decolonial theory in the Americas. It explores how her ideas on fluctuations are expressed through "performative concepts" that transcend individual texts, illustrating the dynamic nature of her work. Through detailed analyses of her published writings, drafts, and archival material, the author reveals the evolving phases of Anzaldúa's literary and conceptual output, highlighting her influence in a broader hemispheric context.

During early modern European expansion, America emerged as dynamic meeting ground, continuously forging multidirectional global encounters. Relating Continents dismisses the semantics of ‘encounter’ which, in the politics of naming, euphemistically substitutes invasive violence, but invests in the notion’s dimension as an enactment of literary, cultural, and social relations, fusing people, goods, texts, artifacts, ideas, and senses of belonging. Understanding the practice of relating as both connecting and narrating, this anthology investigates the linking of continents in Romance literary and cultural history, as well as the tales of entanglement produced in the process. The contributors revisit the worldwide impact of distant or in-person negotiations between conquerors and local actors; they assess how colonial interventions shift hemispheric native networks, and they examine the ties between America, Africa, and Asia. By doing so, they prove the global constitution of early modern Spanish and Portuguese American literatures, their historical and cultural contexts, and their long-lasting legacies.
