Its contributors delineate a fraught relationship of complicity, negotiation, and outright confrontation covering five centuries and a truly global landscape, from Inquisitorial processes at the onset of the Spanish Empire to last-ditch plans to preserve it in the 19th century Philippines, to the challenges to contemporary articulations of the nation-state in Catalonia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond single, specialized time-period and national cultures, 'Wall to Wall' embraces and showcases the heterogeneity of the field, covering both well-known territory (Argentina, Mexico, Spain) and often-neglected cultures (Venezuela, Philippines, and indigenous communities in the Yucatan area), as well as problems that cannot be narrowed down to the nation-state (exile, independence processes, non-state laws, translation of foreign cultures). Contributors include: Aur駘ie Vialette, Daniel Aguirre-Oteiza, Daniela Dorfman, Mar僘 Fernanda Lander, Gloria Elizabeth Chac, Iv疣 Trujillo, Benjamin Easton, Pauline de Tholozany, Lauren G.J.

Not only do they place vernacular objects in dialogue with current international concepts and methods, but these essays also aim to advance an autonomous conceptual and theoretical work-based approach. Its chapters aspire to enter a global discussion around the state-centered aspiration to shape culture and the many literary and cultural practices that escape it; researchers of those issues and Latin American and Iberian studies will find new venues to rethink their global archive. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cristina P駻ez-Arranz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1648891608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781648891601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vernon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/18\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Cristina P駻ez-Arranz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43944539324671,"sku":"9781648891601","price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b2ef978e-09a9-40da-963d-491f5a5d9e7a.jpg?v=1681504052","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wall-to-wall-cristina-prez-arranz-9781648891601","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
