Spanish Literature, Crisis and Spectrality: Notes on a Haunted Canon (2)

by Pablo Valdivia

Author and Professor Dr. Pablo Valdivia analyzes the contradictions and complexities of the Spanish traditional canon from a transnational approach. Valdivia explores this particular canon as a 'haunted house' by focusing on the specific dialectics of presence, absence and (in)visibilization offered in relevant case Jose Ricardo Morales, Cervantes or Jesus Carrasco, among others. Under the new term of 'disinherited literature', Valdivia advocates for coining critical categories that enrich the study of Spanish texts and shed new light on their radical specificities far from biased political and power strategic interests.
