Decolonising Cape Verdean Soul: Resistance, Emancipation and Identity in Corsino Fortes’ Poetry
No full textAn undeniable point of reference in Cultural Studies1,Stuart Hall (1990, p.222) states that “cultural practices of representation always imply aposition from which one speaks or writes,” which the Jamaican authorrefers to as “positions of enunciation.” The identity issue from which thesubject of enunciation, a victim of colonization, positions itself, isconstrained by the “colonial experience” (1990, p. 224). More than merelyrecovering lost time, the question of identity is related to how we positionourselves in relation to the narratives of the past (1990, p. 223).Only in this way, as Hall suggests, can we understand the traumaticnature of that experience (1990, p. 225). The European presence in Africa,with its power and domination, culturally “expropriated” the “other,”converting it into something marginal and peripheral, imposing upon it aculture that becomes a constitutive element of its identity (1990, p. 233).Here lies the ambivalence of “colonial expropriation,” resulting in adialectic of power and resistance, rejection, and recognition. Creolisationor cultural miscegenation is an example of this, manifesting itself inlanguage and cultural representations. In this sense, the African continentrepresents the great aporia of cultural identity (1990, p. 234).

Preface
No full textThe Iberian Peninsula, home to modern-day Spain and Portugal, serves as a crossroads of regional, international, and transatlantic relations. The peninsula plays a pivotal role in shaping global interactions through its cultural exchanges and geopolitical alliances. This continues to influence global politics, economics, and cultural identity, making the study of Iberia’s relationships crucial to understanding global trends. By examining its connections across Europe, Africa, the Americas, and beyond, researchers may gain insight into how the Iberian Peninsula shapes and is shaped by the world.
Regional, International, and Transatlantic Relations From the Iberian Peninsula to the World explores memory politics and historical revisionism, focusing on dictatorships, migrations and exiles, as well as cross border dialogues between communities within the Iberian Peninsula. It examines international relations, centering on the Anglo-Iberian contacts and influences in the political, historical and cultural domains, and on transatlantic studies in North and South America. This book covers topics such as diplomacy, regional development, and nationalism, and is a useful resource for business owners, historians, government officials, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and scientists

Theory and praxis of an iberian and universal dialectics
Get PDFEl presente trabajo intenta dar a conocer el diálogo ibérico entre Leonardo Coimbra y la intelectualidad española en la década de los veinte. Esta red de sociabilidad se crea en el ámbito de un intercambio científico y cultural, que aspira a un reconocimiento internacional y a un entendimiento peninsular. Sin embargo, este encuentro es síntoma de otro encuentro de cariz filosófico y espiritual de convivencia cósmica entre distintas pero convergentes razonesThe aim of this paper is to understand the Iberian dialogue between Leonardo Coimbra and the Spanish intellectuals of the 1920s. This network of sociability is created within the scope of a cultural and scientific exchange, which aims at an international recognition and for the benefit of a peninsular understanding. However, this encounter is an indication of another encounter of philosophical and spiritual nature, a cosmic coexistence between diverse but convergent reason
Diálogo ibérico en torno a Don Quijote: Miguel de Unamuno y el movimiento cultural de la Renascença Portuguesa
Get PDFEn las fructíferas relaciones luso-españolas de la década de los veinte, donde se operaban redes transnacionales de conocimiento, Miguel de Unamuno se convierte en una referencia filosófica y literaria para los jóvenes republicanos, lusistas y sebastianistas portugueses del grupo de la Renascença Portuguesa (1912-1936) que buscaban un renacimiento político, cultural y literario para Portugal.
En este artículo nos ocuparemos de la imagen y recepción del quijotismo de Miguel de Unamuno en el movimiento cultural de Oporto. La interpretación unamuniana del Quijote, en Vida de Don Quijote y Sancho y en Del sentimiento trágico de la vida tendrá un profundo impacto en los ideólogos de la Renascença Teixeira de Pascoaes y Leonardo Coimbra cuyo diálogo se convertirá en un aporte inestimable para la concreción de un pensamiento intuitivo, existencial y pedagógico centrado en el perfeccionamiento del hombre ibérico y universal.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Peninsular identities, transatlantic crossings and Iberian networks
No full textThis volume promotes recent and innovative research in different areas of knowledge within the scope of Iberian studies, contributing to the deepening and dissemination of this expanding research area.
This book makes available new approaches to the study of Iberian and Ibero-American spaces and cultures, with particular emphasis on Portuguese-Galician, Basque and Catalan identities produced in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, and during dictatorship.
A considerable number of chapters discuss issues of memory, reflecting the impact of the Historical Memory Law in Spain and its lively discussion in the public sphere. Social mobilization and economic dynamics also play an important role in this volume. In addition, transatlantic contacts with Portuguese and Spanish speaking countries are covered, giving expression to the most recent trends in Iberian studies, which is broadening its scope to exchanges and influences between the Iberian Peninsula and South America and Africa.
This volume will be of interest to students, developing and established researchers, and experts in Iberian studies
The image of Spain in contemporary Portugal: hypotheses for its delimitation
No full textCon base en un conjunto heterogéneo y no sistemático de elementos, se pretende realizar un acercamiento a la imagen de España y los españoles en el Portugal contemporáneo con el objetivo de proponer hipótesis para su delimitación. La propuesta de análisis del imaginario portugués se articula con los hitos de las relaciones de variado tipo (económicas, sociales, etc.) entre los dos estados y, por otro lado, problematiza la homogeneidad del Otro en la perspectiva lusa. Sintéticamente, se proponen dos discursos de representación hacia lo español: (i) con largo recorrido histórico, el imagotipo del enemigo, hoy en retroceso en el imaginario luso y, más actual, (ii) el imagotipo neorromántico.O trabalho contou com o apoio do Centro de Estudos Humanísticos da UMinh
¿Euroiberización? Para una interpretación del marco relacional ibérico actual: desfronterización, policentrismo y regionalización
No full textStarting in 1986, when Spain and Portugal became part of the EEC (now
the EU), relations between the two Iberian states progressively underwent
important changes in several dimensions: the vertiginous increase in economic exchanges, the intensification of mobility (both tourism and
labour), the (para) diplomacy promoted by different actors, its expression in the educational programmes of the different territories, etc. From this, we intend to identify some of the trends that are resignifying intra-Iberian contact, especially in its cultural dimension, resulting from extra-Iberian
factors originating from the EU. Focusing on the Galician-Portuguese
case, the processes related to disborderisation, polycentrism (and multiple
agency) and regionalisation will be highlighted, as increasingly significant
trends in the social and cultural dimensions of the field of Iberian relations today
