Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå°æ

I read English language and literature at the University of Vigo (1996–2000, Premio Fin de Carreira). In 2000 I moved to Scotland to complete an MSc in Translation Studies (2000–2001; funded by a Caixa Galicia postgraduate scholarship) and a PhD in Hispanic Studies (2001–2005; funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Board) at The University of Edinburgh. Following a semester as Teaching Fellow at the University of Aberdeen, I joined Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå°æ in January 2005 as Lecturer in Spanish and Director of the Centre for Galician Studies in Wales (2006 to present). I was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2013 and to a Full Professorship in 2020. In 2019 I was honoured to be admitted into the Gorsedd Cymru for my contribution to academic and public life in Wales. In 2021 I became an elected Fellow of The Learned Society of Wales.

I am a specialist on the cultures, histories, and politics of the Hispanophone world with parallel expertise in the field of Translation Studies. My work has studied the intellectual histories of nationalisms in Spain; the relationship between culture and the state; and the recent ‘rural turn’ in Spanish culture. My book Galicia, a Sentimental Nation: Gender, Culture and Politics (U of Wales Press, 2013) was translated into Galician as Galiza, um povo sentimental? Género, política e cultura no imaginário nacional galego (2014) and received the 2015 Best Essay Award by the Association of Writers in Galician. I have edited the books Postcolonial Spain: Coloniality, Violence, Independence (U of Wales Press, 2024) and A Companion to Galician Studies (Tamesis, 2014) and special issues for the Bulletin of Hispanic Studies and Translation Studies. My articles have appeared in the Journal of Spanish Cultural Studies, the Bulletin of Hispanic Studies, Studies in Spanish and Latin American Cinemas, Hispanic Research Journal, the International Journal of Iberian Studies, Men and Masculinities, and The Translator. In Wales, I have published articles on Hispanic cultures and politics for the literary magazine O’r Pedwar Gwynt.

My teaching for Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå°æ’s BA in Modern Languages includes first-year courses on the Spanish Civil War and the history of Spanish colonialism; Spanish language and translation courses, and environmental approaches to Colombian transitional justice. I am the director of the MA in Translation Studies, where my teaching includes classes on translation and gender, translation and ethics and professional skills in the translation industry. I have supervised 11 PhD theses to completion in all disciplines of my expertise (Galician Studies, Hispanic Studies, and Translation Studies) and very much welcome proposals from prospective candidates in these areas. In 2023 I received a student-led teaching award for innovation in teaching.

Currently, I serve as Co-Lead of REF2029 preparations concerning Modern Languages and Linguistics. I am Research Integrity Lead at the School of Arts, Culture and Language.

• David Miranda-Barreiro (awarded 2012): ‘Gender, Nation and Otherness in Spanish New York Narratives’. Awarded AHGBI Best Thesis 2012.

I currently supervise or co-supervise the following PhD theses in a variety of disciplines:

• Belén Iglesias-Arbor: ‘Translating the Spanish Best-Seller: María Dueñas, Arturo Pérez-Reverte and Carlos Ruiz Zafón’
• Changjing Liu (as co-supervisor): ‘Chinese avant-garde fiction in translation’
• Yujuan Zhou (as co-supervisor): ‘An analysis of place in David Hawkes’ translations of The Story of the Stone’
• Chunli Shen (as co-supervisor): ‘Translating the novels of Yan Lianke into English’

I approach the study of present-day politics and cultures in Spain, including the cultures of Galicia, Catalonia and the Basque Country, as marked by enduring post-imperial tensions. Placing forms of material and symbolic violence at the core of such approach, providing nuanced national contextualisation and interrogating multiculturalist approaches to post-Francoist Spain, my work has provided novel understandings of a range of themes: the historical formation of national identity discourses (, 2013), the dynamics of competitive masculinities in nationalisms (, 2017), or the cultural representation of the legacies of violence in the Basque Country after ETA (, 2017).

My work has interrogated the canon (for example, by offering new ways of reading and teaching , and ) as well as engaging with little-studied contexts and practices (musical satire in Galicia, torture testimonials and ephemeral exhibitions in the Basque Country). Since my doctoral studies, I have remained an active researcher in the field of Translation Studies, with a particular interest in gender and non-state nations. In this area, I have published on the English translations of Catalan writer Mercé Rodoreda’s classic , have translated Galician poet María do Cebreiro into English () and have led a pioneering research project on translation in Wales, culminating in the Special Issue ‘Translation in Wales: History Theory and Approaches’ of the journal .ÌýÌý

Following from the award of a British Academy Mid-Career Fellowship (2015–2016), my current research seeks to transform understandings of national conflict in Spain by applying postcolonial theories. In particular, it innovatively engages forms of postcolonial enquiry (independence, perpetrator studies, testimonial life narratives, migrant connectivity practices, post-conflict reconciliation, para-colonial aesthetics, orientalisms) with a critique of imperial reason in late nineteenth-, twentieth-century and contemporary Spain. I am currently preparing two publications as part of this research strand: a monograph, Contested Colonialities in the Long Spanish Twentieth-Century: Empire, Nation, Independence (under contract with Palgrave), which connects the ongoing inflections of Spain’s internal national conflict with the legacies of imperial violence inscribed in Spanish democratic modernity; and an edited volume with selected studies following from the organisation of the international conference ‘Postcolonial Spain? Contexts, Politics and Cultural Practices’ (Bangor, 2017).

I am also currently developing new research on how contemporary Galician culture has registered the disappearance of autochthonous rural life in the last three decades, combining my long-standing interests in postcolonial theory with aspects of ecocriticism, trauma and animal studies. This strand of my current research forms the basis of my graduate seminar ‘Elegies without consolation: poetics of territory and conflict in contemporary Galician Culture’, which I delivered at The Graduate Center of CUNY (2018).

Central to my approach is collaborating regularly with other researchers, cultural practitioners, politicians and social movements. Examples of recent and current collaborations include:

• Organiser and speaker, with Hywel Wiliams (MP, Plaid Cymru, Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Catalonia), of the event ‘Understanding independence in contemporary Spain: notes on the Catalan referendum’, Bangor, 27 October 2017.
• Collaboration with Catalan feminist direct action group ‘Gatamaula’ for the publication of multi-authored volume (2017).
• Participation in research network (led by Professor Willy Maley, University of Glasgow, funded by The Royal Society of Edinburgh, 2015–2017).
• Participation in research network ‘La experiencia de la sociedad moderna en España: Emociones, relaciones de género y subjetividades (siglos XIX y XX)’ (led by Professor Nerea Aresti, University of the Basque Country, funded by the Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad, Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional, 2017–2019).
• Participation in research network ‘Unha análise da obra narrativa de Rosalía de Castro: Fundamentos teóricos e metodolóxicos’ (led by Dr María do Cebreiro Rábade Villar, University of Santiago de Compostela, funded by the Xunta de Galicia Government, 2010–2012).

I have extensive experience in postgraduate supervision across a range of disciplines, including Galician Studies, Hispanic Studies and Translation Studies. I welcome applications from PhD students in any of my areas of interest, especially the following: discourses of coloniality in contemporary Spain; Galician cultural studies (especially gender studies, contemporary literature, Rosalía de Castro, ecocriticism, cultural approaches to rurality, trauma); translation and minority across cultures.

  The talk analyzed the emergence of rural themes in literary, film, and media fields. It focused on the reading of two highly successful cultural products associated with this rural boom: the film As bestas (2022) by Rodrigo Sorogoyen and the novel Nobody Remains (2022) by Brais Lamela, arguing that they offer two opposing views on the dispossession processes that contemporary Galician rural society has been forced to.

  Description

  ‘Postcolonial Spain’ aims to be the first academic event to map postcolonial/decolonial theories onto Hispanic peninsular studies, aiming to diversify radically how the discipline thinks about the interconnected legacies of colonialism, empire, nationalisms, emigration, ethnicity and conflict in contemporary Spain. As the fissures of the Spanish post-1978 territorial consensus widen, this event is intended as a key intervention in the discipline of Spanish peninsular studies and into how it has ‘theorised away’ Spain’s internal national conflicts, their associated discourses and cultural manifestations and the ways in which these remain entangled with enduring forms of post-imperial reason.

  Chief among the conference’s aims is to articulate for the discipline of Hispanic (peninsular) studies a new way of thinking about ongoing processes of transnational/national/regional transformation, including independence processes, with a view to re-interrogating questions of democraticity in contemporary Spain and challenging predominant nationalist paradigms. The conference also seeks to engage cultural studies scholarship with pressing socio-political processes developing in contemporary Spain, such as the Catalan process of independence, post-conflict resolution in the Basque Country and the politics of border and immigration control, all of which can be illuminated by postcolonial/decolonial forms of enquiry.
