Introduction
Full text linkThe idea of putting together a collection of studies about Linguacultural Spaces: Inclusion, Extension and Identification in Discourse and Society developed originally from the collaboration between academics at the Centre for Linguistic-Cultural Studies of the University of Bologna (CeSLiC) and at the School of Critical Studies at the University of Glasgow, particularly in connection with the conference Diversity and Inclusion: Overcoming Fragmentation, organised in Bologna by the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures (LILEC) of the University of Bologna on 21-23 February 2019, within its multiyear DIVE-IN Research Project. On the back of the collaboration between CeSLiC and Glasgow’s School of Critical Studies, a Memorandum of Understanding between the two institutions was signed in September 2019, in order to further collaborative research. Within this agreement, a yearly postgraduate symposium is organized to enhance the collaborative ethos of the agreement and to create broader inter-institutional ties through the inclusion of the School of Humanities and Digital Sciences at the University of Tilburg and the School of Modern Languages and Cultures in Glasgow. Each of these institutions has an active research culture in the sociolinguistics of diversity and inclusion and this volume reflects this spirit cooperation as well as the impact it has on PhD students’ research. The book includes eight chapters by PhD students from Glasgow and Bologna who presented their studies in the May 2022 edition of the annual symposium Linguacultural Spaces: Inclusion, Extension and Identification in Discourse and Society. It explores various aspects of linguistic and cultural diversity, inclusion and identification, from a variety of theoretical and methodological angles, i.e. ecolinguistics, gender studies, multimodality, critical discourse analysis, travel literature, foreign language teaching, language contact in post-colonial settings, and media literacy. The red thread running through this book is discourse, seen from a variety of points of view showing how it can both promote and prevent social cohesion, and how fundamental its role is to articulate identity and belonging in inclusive and diverse manners

Quim Monzó and Contemporary Catalan Culture (1975–2018): Cultural Normalization, Postmodernism and National Politics
No full textQuim Monzó (born Barcelona, 1952) is considered Catalonia’s most influential contemporary author, his work studied as a catalyst for the modernization of Catalan culture after General Franco’s death in 1975. Analysing Quim Monzó’s trajectory from countercultural artist in 1970s Barcelona to celebrity intellectual in the present day, Colom-Montero argues that Monzó’s work encapsulates many of the cultural, aesthetic and political tensions in post-Francoist Catalonia. Offering first-time English-language analyses of Monzó’s multifaceted artistic trajectory (including political cartoons, translations, journalistic writing, media collaborations and social media persona) as well as new close readings of some of his better-known literary texts, Colom-Montero maps the paradigmatic cultural shifts that have characterized the transition from late Francoist to autonomous and post-referendum Catalonia. At a time of deepening divisions between Catalonia and Spain, in this book Monzó emerges as an author and public intellectual aiming to build a Catalan politico-cultural sphere different from and opposed to that of Spain

Quim Monzó and contemporary Catalan culture : innovation, politics and public image
No full textThis thesis analyses the work of Catalan author Quim Monzó in relation to the
transformations that Catalan culture has undergone from the early 1970s until the present day.
Despite the undeniable complexity and diversity of Monzó’s oeuvre, critical studies have
tended to follow set patterns, often focusing on his literary production and discussing
postmodernist aesthetics in his fiction, while tending to avoid engaging with the political
ideologies underpinning it. This thesis, by contrast, explores the multifaceted nature of
Monzó’s trajectory by focusing on a wide range of materials (his fictional texts and regular
opinion pieces in the Catalan press, his political cartoons, his translations and his
participation in mass media and social networks) through a methodology that combines
cultural analysis as well as sociocultural and political commentary with the critical tools
provided by Bourdieu’s sociological theories of culture, gender studies and postmodernist
cultural theory.
With the overarching aim of driving forward a new understanding of Quim Monzó’s
trajectory and of the contemporary Catalan cultural field, this thesis concentrates on two
interrelated strands of analysis. Firstly, it argues that Monzó’s literary and intellectual
programme both accelerated and critically responded to the decline of the resistentialist
cultural model and the advent of the discourses of Catalan cultural normalisation under
postmodernism and its associated framework of cultural marketisation. Specifically, the
thesis analyses Monzó’s public trajectory from countercultural artist in the 1970s to celebrity
author and intellectual in the present day as a phenomenon that has brought to the fore some
of the contradictions in the discourse of Catalan cultural normalisation vis-à-vis
postmodernist attitudes towards the symbolic roles of culture and the public intellectual.
Secondly, the thesis addresses the unremitting presence of a series of political themes and
debates in Monzó’s work, with a view to examining how the author’s work interacts with
some of the socio-cultural and political transformations of his time, in particular the ongoing
Catalan-Spanish national debate and its centrality during the Spanish Transition to
democracy, the emergence of libertarian and neoconservative ideologies in Spain and the
growing influence of feminist thought. All in all, the thesis contributes both to Monzonian
scholarship and the study of the contemporary Catalan cultural field by arguing that there is a
singular, intricate and productive relation between the author’s work and its cultural and
political context
