Ex Libris: Publications in Hispanic Studies. Second edition

Hispanic studies are deeply rooted in British and American universities, where their professors and researchers publish several articles and books on Spain and Latin America that contribute to the expansion of knowledge of these studies, open up new lines of research and advance the knowledge acquired.

Instituto Cervantes in Manchester and Leeds, in collaboration with the Durham University, organise the new series "Ex Libris: Publications in Hispanic Studies", coordinated by Professor H. Rosi Song (Durham University), to disseminate these new monographs. The second edition has a diverse profile with books dedicated to media (Reimagining History in  Contemporary Spanish Media: Theatre, Cinema, Television, Streaming, by Paul Julian Smith), arts (The Prado, de Eugenia Afinoguenova), ecology (Imagining Plains of Latin America: An Ecocritical Study, by Álex Pérez-Trujillo), literature (Chocolate: How a New World Commodity Conquered Spanish Literature, by Erin Alice Cowling), and history (Staging Habla de Negros: Radical Performances of the African Diaspora in Early Modern Spain, by Nicholas R. Jones).

H. Rosi Song is Professor of Spanish at Durham University and author of Lost in Transition: Constructing Memory in Contemporary Spain (2016), and co-editor of the volumes Traces of Contamination: Unearthing Francoist Legacy in Contemporary Spanish Discourse (2005) and Towards a Cultural Archive of la Movida: Back to the Future (2013). She has published widely on contemporary Spanish culture, film and literature.
