Iberian Modalities: A Relational Approach to the Study of Culture in the Iberian Peninsula

Of late the term Iberian Studies has been gaining academic currency, but its semantic scope still fluctuates. For some it is a convenient way of combining the official cultures of two states, Portugal and Spain; yet for others the term opens up disciplinary space, altering established routines. This timely volume brings together contributions from leading international scholars who demonstrate the cultural and linguistic complexity of the emerging field of Iberian Studies by reflecting on the institutional challenges to its practice. As such, the book will be required reading for all those working in the field.
