As is well known, César Aira (Argentina 1949) is considered one of the most eminent contemporary writers. What is less known is that, across twenty-five novels and short stories, he imagines himself living implausible and even impossible adventures. In Spanish, theorists refer to these creative self-narratives as autofabulaciones, and Aira’s record in this realm makes him one of the most prolific autofabuladores in the world. Why does he immerse himself in so many imaginary lives? Through a close reading of his work and autofictional theory, this book proposes three complementary hypotheses related to the 1976-1983 dictatorship, literary irony, and literary play.

Sabido es que César Aira (Argentina 1949) es considerado uno de los escritores contemporáneos más eminentes. Menos sabido es que, en veinticinco novelas y cuentos, se imagina viviendo aventuras inverosímiles e incluso imposibles. Los teóricos se refieren a estos relatos personales altamente creativos como ‘autofabulaciones’, y la productividad de Aira en este campo lo convierte en uno de los ‘autofabuladores’ más notables del mundo. ¿Por qué sumergirse en tantas vidas imaginarias? En un vaivén entre el análisis de su obra y la teoría autoficcional, este libro propone tres hipótesis complementarias relacionadas con la dictadura de 1976-1983, la ironía y el juego literario.

In the words of early 20th-century writer Ramón Gómez de la Serna, José Cabrero y Mons (1871–1954) is the central figure in the Novela del Arte. Cabrero remains the only unidentified artist in José Gutiérrez Solana’s iconic painting La tertulia del café de Pombo, the second most significant work in the Museo Reina Sofía, following Picasso’s Guernica. This monograph delves into Cabrero’s fascinating artistic life, uncovering previously unpublished details, including rare books from his personal library, correspondence with fellow artists, unknown paintings, and his remarkable collection of modern art, featuring works by Puvis de Chavannes, Solana, Rodin, Carrière, and De Groux. En palabras del escritor de principios de siglo Ramón Gómez de la Serna, José Cabrero y Mons (1871-1954) es el personaje principal de la novela del arte. Cabrero es el único artista no identificado en el cuadro La tertulia del café de Pombo de José Gutiérrez Solana, el cuadro más relevante del Museo Reina Sofía, después del Guernica de Picasso. Esta monografía sobre la intrigante vida artística de Cabrero explora las paradojas definitivas del período estético de Fin de Siècle. La monografía revela datos únicos e inéditos de su biblioteca personal, con ediciones y cartas dedicadas y raras, junto con sus pinturas desconocidas y su excepcional colección de arte moderno: Puvis de Chavannes, Solana, Rodin, Carrière, De Groux.

The Philosophy of Gender of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz gathers Sor Juana’s most salient pronouncements on the topic of gender. This study poses that the nun draws from both theology and philosophy in her approach to issues of gender, including the double standard between men and women and the need to transcend sexual binaries. Her methods reveal that, for her, philosophy and theology are interrelated in a unique and specific way. This project seeks to affirm Sor Juana’s pioneering role in the development of both philosophy and theology in Latin America.

Traditional narratives hold that the art and architecture of the Iberian Peninsula in the late 15th century were transformed by the arrival of artists, objects, and ideas from northern Europe. The year 1492 has been interpreted as a radical rupture, marking the end of the Islamic presence on the peninsula, the beginning of global encounters, and the intensification of exchange between Iberia and Renaissance Italy.
This volume aims to nuance and challenge this narrative, considering the Spanish and Portuguese worlds in conjunction, and emphasising the multi-directional migrations of both objects and people to and from the peninsula. This long-marginalised region is recast as a ‘diffuse artistic centre’ in close contact with Europe and the wider world. The chapters interweave varied media, geographies, and approaches to create a rich tapestry held together by itinerant artworks, artists, and ideas.

Author:
In Toledo in 1529, a converso named Pedro de Cazalla declared that the connection between man and God was but a thread and that it should not be mediated by the Church. Hardly an isolated phenomenon, Cazalla’s inner spirituality was a widespread response to the increasing repression of religious dissent enacted by the Inquisition.
Forced baptisms of Jews and Muslims had profound effects across Spanish society, leading famous intellectuals as well as ordinary men and women to rethink their sense of belonging to the Christian community and their forms of religiosity. Thus, in this book, early modern Iberia emerges as a laboratory of European-wide transformations.

Children and Cultural Capital in the Americas
Author:
A class of child artists in Mexico, a ship full of child refugees from Spain, classrooms of child pageant actors, and a pair of boy ambassadors revealed facets of hemispheric politics in the Good Neighbor era. Culture-makers in the Americas tuned into to children as producers of cultural capital to advance their transnational projects. In many instances, prevailing conceptions of children as innocent, primitive, dependent, and underdeveloped informed perceptions of Latin America as an infantilized region, a lesser "Other Americas" on the continent. In other cases, children's interventions in the cultural politics, economic projects, and diplomatic endeavors of the interwar period revealed that Latin American children saw themselves as modern, professional, participants in forging inter-American relationships.
