Rerouting Galician Studies: Intellectual Cartographies of the USA

Rerouting Galician Studies

Abstract

Since the 1960s, identity politics, the proliferation of new subjects of emancipation, and the abandonment of a ‘statocentric’ concept of power have shaped alternative theoretical paradigms within the liberal arts field, especially in the USA. These critical trends have re-enabled and reshaped potential approaches to Galician Studies, which had a constant presence in the English-speaking world since the 1980s. In light of the epistemological, symbolical, and theoretical challenges Galician Studies faces in the USA, this essay reflects on the process of institutionalization of the field, on the level of autonomy it possesses within the English-speaking academic context, and on the consequences and conflicts involved in scholarly attempts to locate and legitimate Galician Studies within and beyond the university.
