Mapping Iberian Studies

Institutional Practices and Disciplinary Crossings

Series: 

This volume aims to “map” the current situation of Iberian Studies and the way in which the field has been adapted and adopted in different geographic and academic spaces. In the first section, it analyses the cases of success in implementing Iberian Studies, but also the obstacles and resistances it has faced. In the second part of the volume, it examines the fruitful, but also sometimes controversial, crossings between Iberian Studies and other academic fields, such as Hispanism, Catalan, Galician or Basque Studies, Transatlantic Studies, Island Studies, Mediterranean Studies, or World Literature.
