Where are my fellow editors in the humanities? I am writing about journal submission volume, AI, and the humanities. If you are an editor, I'd love to know if you are seeing a lot of AI-generated submissions-- or a lot of submissions in general. Or if you have the problem of low submission volume.

This seems like an awful time to be a professor.

Once a Humboldtian, always a Humboldtian. Happy to be receiving new @humboldt-foundation.de fellows at @usaloficial.bsky.social

Está disponible el número que he coordinado en Ínsula sobre Rosa Chacel. Con contribuciones de lujo sobre literatura y filosofía, exilio y una voluntad comparatista destinada a demostrar que otro marco metodológico es necesario para abordar una trayectoria tan singular insula.es/ver-revista/...

Os esperamos la próxima semana en @usaloficial.bsky.social para dialogar sobre teoría de la literatura y docencia

This Imbolc, we are thrilled to unveil the cover of 'The Posthumous Book of Shahrazad', the award-winning Asturian collection by @raquelmenendez.bsky.social, in an extraordinary translation by @robmunb.bsky.social! Design & illustration by Patrick Fisher at Frontwards Design. Pre-orders now open!

La @usaloficial.bsky.social y el teatro universitario nos dio esta joya dirigida por Sara Ratón González👏🏻

This morning at @usaloficial.bsky.social @bibliotecasusal.bsky.social I found my latest article on the printed edition of Hispanic Research Journal!

“Muñoz Molina has what we might call a hypermoral sensibility, which drives his newspaper writing and, I argue, simultaneously drives his novel writing.” New at PB: @becquer.bsky.social on the novelists who became Spain’s premiere op-ed columnists.

I saw the exhibition last September in Oxford and it was awesome…

Visiting Páramo bookshop in Urueña (ES), a town for book and cat lovers alike.

We all need… #Salamancamehabla

Rainy Salamanca this morning 🌧️

Martín Gaite exhibition @ Palacio de la Salina (Salamanca). Junk journaling before it was cool.

This is a masterpiece in literary theory and should be read beyond the Japanese context.//¡que se traduzca al español!

From the archives-- pages from the first issue (1886) of MLN which invited advertisers at $10/page while the journal built a subscription list. The pages of early issues were a hodgepodge of advertisements (mostly for books and language classes), philological notes, and lists of new books.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Dark academia @usaloficial.bsky.social

Gracias a la organización de Matei Chiaia, el 18 de junio se presentará online mi libro Exilio y melancolía. Participan Guadalupe Barrios (BUW), Jose Manuel Iglesias Granda (CSIC) y @mirjamleuzinger.bsky.social (BUW). Modera Guillermo Ferrer (BUM). Si alguien tiene interés os podéis conectar aquí:

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...

From Arts & Crafts patterns to medieval archaeology. These biscuits recreate stained glass fragments found a few years ago in the triforium of Westminster Abbey.

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. journals.openedition.org/mcv/24569

Great view of the Schwebebahn from my window at @wuppertal.de

¡De vuelta en Wuppertal! @uni-wuppertal.bsky.social

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

Last week of classes. And coming back to Aristotle!

Día de les Lletres Asturianes dende l’ @usaloficial.bsky.social 📚

En la mayor parte de los concursos a profesor ayudante doctor convocados –el tenure track español– las comisiones de selección no se leen los artículos, capítulos y/o libros de las personas candidatas.

The day I unintentionally dressed like Proust @museothyssen.org

The proofs of a forthcoming article in Hispanic Research Journal have just arrived! So excited! I’m so proud of this one, which will be included in a special issue on self-representations of women's writing from Francoism to democracy that I've coordinated with Aina Pérez Fontdevila.

Y aquí un maravilloso trabajo de Raquel Menéndez, una investigadora que siempre nos alegra la vida con sus ensayos sobre nuestras pensadoras y escritoras. Muy inspirador. @raquelmenendez.bsky.social

Just over a year ago, two poems from this collection by @raquelmenendez.bsky.social appeared in @poetryireland.bsky.social's PIR 141; now I'm made up to say that El llibru póstumu de Sherezade has found a home just down the road at the incredible @skeinpress.bsky.social. A dream, esentially....

The 4th session of our seminar series 'Forms, fragments, and Fractures in Contemporary Women's Life Writing' (supported by the @ilcs.bsky.social ) will take place today via Zoom. We'll be focusing on "Minorities, Minorization and Autobiography". Join us for FREE: ilcs.sas.ac.uk/events/forms...

Something wonderful happened thanks to @robmunb.bsky.social and @skeinpress.bsky.social 🤎
