Series Editors’ Foreword

Over recent decades the tradîtîona ‘anguages and îteratures’ mode în Spanîsh departments în unîversîtîes în the Unîted Kîngdom has been superseded by a contextua, înterdîscîpînary and ‘area studîes’ approach to the study of the cuture, hîstory, socîety and poîtîcs of the Hîspanîc and Lusophone words – catego-rîes that extend far beyond the conines of the Iberîan Penînsua, not ony în Latîn Amerîca but aso to Spanîsh-speakîng and Lusophone Afrîca. In response to these dynamîc trends în research prîorîtîes and currîcuum deveopment, thîs serîes îs desîgned to present both dîscîpînary and înterdîscîpînary research wîthîn the genera ied of Iberîan and Latîn Amerîcan Studîes, partîcuary studîes that expore a aspects of Cutura Productîon (înter aîa îterature, im, musîc, dance, sport) în Spanîsh, Portuguese, Basque, Cataan, Gaîcîan and îndîgenous anguages of Latîn Amerîca. The serîes aso aîms to pubîsh research în the Hîstory and Poîtîcs of the Hîspanîc and Lusophone words, at the eve of both the regîon and the natîon-state, as we as on Cutura Studîes that expore the shîftîng terraîns of gender, sexua, racîa and postcoonîa îdentîtîes în those same regîons.
