Asturian Studies in the 21st Century
An international collection rethinking Asturian culture in a global context
Edited by Covadonga Lamar Prieto, Isabel Álvarez Sancho, and Miriam Villazón Valbuena, with a preface by renowned romanist Ana Cano, this groundbreaking volume brings together international scholars to examine Asturias beyond traditional center-periphery frameworks.
Contributors including Claudia Elena Menéndez Fernández, Eva Álvarez Vázquez, Luke Bowe, and Llorián García Flórez explore how Asturian language, literature, cinema, and culture participate in transnational networks while maintaining distinctive identity. From comparative Romance linguistics to new Asturian cinema, from ecocritical readings of Clarín and Palacio Valdés to pioneering sound studies, the collection demonstrates how peripheral cultures offer privileged access to new frontiers of knowledge.
Written in Asturian, Spanish, and English, this volume emerges from the international network SAnTINA.
Essential for scholars of Iberian Studies, minoritized languages, area cinemas, and cultural identity.
