El próximo martes participaré en la presentación de ‘Textos vivos. Notas de un reencuentro’, de José Carlos Mainer, publicado por @renacimientoed.bsky.social Será en el Centro Documental de la Memoria Histórica de Salamanca y estoy segura de que será un encuentro memorable. Os esperamos.

Sehr richtig, prof. Claudia Jünke! 😊

Uncanny and beautiful. ‘El espíritu de la colmena’, the perfect autumn movie.

And done! Thank you to our lovely colleagues for participating and to my co-convenor, Hannie Lawlor for her perfectionism and her commitment to this project!!!

Starting the day off at @lmhoxford.bsky.social

Hannie Lawlor and I (very enthusiastically) presenting our workshop at the Taylorian @bodleian.ox.ac.uk this morning

In my free time I also did some shopping at @blackwells.bsky.social 😏

Incredibly happy to be back in Oxford! Hannie Lawlor and I are coordinating a workshop on comparative perspectives in contemporary women’s life writing at the Taylorian, @bodleian.ox.ac.uk , and @lmhoxford.bsky.social. Supported by @torchoxford.bsky.social

Desmoralizarte significa, literalmente, quitarte tus valores morales, es la herramienta del poder, no lo consientas, mantengamos alta la moral, hagamos cosas con otras personas.

Why are academic journals shortening and shortening the length of the articles they accept for submission (max 8,000 words)? It’s getting so hard to find one that allows anything longer.

The link between fiction and the reader’s empathetic response is well documented in literary theory and demonstrates the importance of our field in current debates on AI. Take, for example, Booth’s The Company We Keep or Nussbaum’s Love’s Knowledge, two classical texts that should be revisited.

In contrast to AI, which offers responses designed to please users, Barr argued that literature provides a way to recognize individual concerns as part of our shared human condition. www.instagram.com/reel/DM6NpME...

Recently, @drrachelbarr.bsky.social commented about the trend of using ChatGPT as a substitute for therapy.

Mil gracias, Santi. ¡Estamos relativamente cerca!

How I feel after finally getting a tenure-track position (ayudante doctor) at a Spanish university after almost four years of postdoctoral positions and temporary teaching contracts…

Incredibly grateful and happy to continue working at @usaloficial.bsky.social, though.

No one, like Xuan Bello, made me realize the importance of combining a deep knowledge of the Asturian language with a rigorous reading of world literatures. This bilingual edition (Spanish-Asturian) of his poetry attests to his sensitivity and his unique way of seeing the world. Rest in peace.

Yesterday, Hannie Lawlor, Álvaro González Montero, and I presented our panel, ‘Anti/Exemplarity and Life Writing: Transforming the Self and the Social in Contemporary Life Writing in Spanish and Catalan,’ at the International Autobiography Association’s European Conference at @ucoimbra.bsky.social.

Hispanic Research Journal Del franquismo a la democracia: Genero y autoridad en las auto / representaciones de las escritoras españolas de posguerra. Volume 24, Issue 6 of Hispanic Research Journal

Se ha publicado "Del franquismo a la democracia: Género y autoridad en las auto/representaciones de las escritoras españolas de posguerra", un número que he tenido el gusto de coordinar con Aina Pérez Fontdevila para Hispanic Research Journal www.tandfonline.com/toc/yhrj20/2...

A collection of biscuits made to look like stained glass window fragments. There are six larger biscuits featuring different faces: a woman looking downwards; a griffin-like creature with wings and a long neck; an old man with long facial hair; a woman with golden hair and a simple tiara; a bald man painted in monochrome; a man with curled hair and striking eyes. The larger biscuits are surrounded by a scattering of smaller fragments. There is a jewel-red fragment in a triangular shape, a small green rectangle, and a bright blue semi-circular shard painted with a leaf pattern. Other small biscuits have bold black-and-white patterns made up of lines, circles, and floral shapes. Many of the biscuits are made to look dirty and scratched.

From Arts & Crafts patterns to medieval archaeology.

These biscuits recreate stained glass fragments found a few years ago in the triforium of Westminster Abbey.

Las escritoras y el canon en España: el concepto de generación lite... 1. Las mujeres de la generación En 1943, Carmen Baroja y Nessi se presentaba en sus memorias como «una mujer de la generación del 98», a pesar de que, en 1898, la hermana de Pío Baroja, uno de los ...

Por fin –lo envié en septiembre de 2022– se ha publicado mi artículo sobre la teoría generacional desde una perspectiva de género. Reviso a Ortega, Petersen, Marías y Laín Entralgo para demostrar la inconveniencia del método en las actuales revisiones del canon.

It’s grading season, and it’s interesting to notice that the students who achieve the best results are those who take their class notes by hand. #handwriting
