A more diverse approach to Catalan culture should consider sexuality, which has traditionally been banished from literary analysis as a ‘private’ matter. Here, we discussed how queer theory can reframe Catalan Studies mainly by building a specific LGBT literary tradition, identifying queer episodes and characters in the canon, questioning received meanings, promoting interdisciplinary analysis of Catalan culture and exploring the role of queer subjectivity in history.","PeriodicalId":288445,"journal":{"name":"Biblioteca di Rassegna iberistica","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114405713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These challenges relate to the reification of the genealogy of cultural, institutional or political links that often justify Iberian literary research. They are also characterised by the tendency to idealise the Iberian context as a net of relations ‘between equals’, which contributes to hide the heterogeneity and the hierarchies between the literary units under analysis. The case of Majorcan literature and culture – an often excluded node of the Iberian ‘peninsular’ network – will be used to argue that exploring this topic from its so-called peripheral ‘others’ offers some solutions to this ‘comparatist’ definition in the contemporary context. Specifically, this chapter focuses on two different aspects of relevance to Iberian Studies: the difficulty of defining the local or regional status of Majorcan literature, and the intersection of local and global synergies in its actual configuration.","PeriodicalId":288445,"journal":{"name":"Biblioteca di Rassegna iberistica","volume":"27 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125682387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But we believe it is also true that, nowadays, the Castilian centrist point of view on peripheral balladry traditions displays the same nationalist shape.

This paper focuses on the intersection of two of them: the imagological paradigm and the theory of nation branding. In the intersectional space between them, concepts such as cultural stereotyping, soft power and commercial nationalism are mobilised in ways that differ when a peripherical mindset is favoured. These theoretical tools open up a reflection on the processes of resemantisation that the image of Spain undergoes in contemporary Catalan cinema, as exemplified in the later works by director Ventura Pons. A commentary of Miss Dalí (2018), in the broader context of Pons’ production and of recent Catalan cinema, leads to provisional conclusions about strategies such as erasure, rarefication, negativisation and othering.","PeriodicalId":288445,"journal":{"name":"Biblioteca di Rassegna iberistica","volume":"496 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123195818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By reference to the Author’s own research on Spanish culinary nationalism, this article also shows how the tension between centre and periphery is key to understanding Spanish food discourses of the past few centuries.
