LITERATURE AND TRANSLATION
THE TRANSLATION OF LITERATURES IN BASQUE, CATALAN/VALENCIAN AND
GALICIAN: INTERNATIONALISATION STRATEGIES IN THE BRITISH BOOK
MARKET
Thu 3, 3:00 pmOnline event, via Zoom. In English and Spanish
This event will discuss current challenges and opportunities
faced by literatures written in the Basque, Catalan/Valencian and
Galician languages in their translation into English. Scholars,
delegates from source-culture institutions and representatives from
the British publishing houses that are currently leading the
translation market will explore the following questions: What makes
British publishers translate literature written in lesser
translated languages? Do translation grants matter? What is the
circulation and dissemination of translated literary works from
these languages? How are they received in the anglosphere? Will the
2022 edition of the Frankfurt Book Fair, in which Spain will be
guest of honour, be a turning point in the internationalisation of
these literatures?

Luis García Berlanga is one of the most outstanding directors in
the history of Spanish cinema. His long and fruitful
cinematographic career, his unmistakable hallmarks as a creator,
his corrosive humour and his work directing some of the great
classics of our 20th-century cinema, make him worthy, on the
centenary of his birth, the humble tribute to this cycle of online
cinema, in which we revisit four titles that make up a significant
journey through his career and a sample of his evolution as a
filmmaker.
Programme: - Esa pareja feliz (1951), by Luis G. Berlanga y Juan
Antonio Bardem - Calabuch (1956), by Luis G. Berlanga - Plácido

CIUDADES EN LAS QUE NUNCA HAS ESTADOBy César Sánchez. Romancero
Talks Series on Literature of Stories
From Thu 3 Online event, via YouTube. In Spanish
César Sánchez returns with his second book, a fantastic literary
tour where each stop is a challenge to the reader’s imagination and
intelligence.A book of stories that proposes us to travel from the
detective story to the science fiction story, passing through
humour or the micro-story, all to give us a very particular vision
of those cities that, whether we have visited them or not, we had
never dared to imagine them. In the stories of Cities you have
never been to, there is room for both real cities (Los Angeles,
London, Ávila ...) and imaginary cities (No York, Bucapest or
Indirabrantópolis).Jorge Gárriz conducts this interview with César
Sánchez.

HANDFUL “EXHIBITION” By Rafael Pérez Evans
Until 29 August, Tuesday – Sunday: 10 am to 5 pm (Closed Bank
Holidays)Henry Moore Institute. Sculpture Galleries. The Headrow,
Leeds LS1 3AH
Rafael Pérez Evans’ temporary sculptures made using foodstuffs
draw upon legacies of 1960s sculpture, Land Art and acts of social
protest.For this exhibition, Pérez Evans presents three new works
that explore a tension between basic human need and the
overproduction of food.The causes of the gap between the consumers
and the producers of food are plentiful. Pérez Evans states that we
have become “food blind, plant blind and food-production blind” as
food has become as much a commodity as any other.Rafael Pérez Evans
lives and works in London. He is the recipient of the Henry Moore
Institute and Leeds Beckett University Scholarship in partnership
with New Contemporaries 2019. Pérez Evans received a BA and MFA
Fine Art from Goldsmiths College, University of London (2010 and

doors in June with its acclaimed production of Ay, Carmela!.Carmela

the border that separates the two opposing sides of the Spanish
Civil War. Unexpectedly, they end up in “Belchite” – a village that
the National Army has recently liberated. Both actors will be
forced to improvise a theatrical evening to celebrate the defeat of
the enemy. What begins as an entertaining tribute to the victors
ends as a tragic comedy.

HISTORY
TWO HISPANISTS IN CONVERSATION ABOUT SPAIN AND ITS HISTORYWith
Robert Goodwin (UCL) and Alexander Samson (UCL).“Hispanglia, the
Traces of Spain in England” Series, 2
Thu 10, 6:00 pmOnline event, via Zoom. In English
A broad-ranging conversation, a mutual interview that will touch
on politics, colonialism, imperialism, art, literature, theatre,
and British attitudes to Spain across the ages. As a touchstone to
that discussion, we bring in Dr. Samson’s fascinating recent
research into the question of ¿what did it mean to be a “Spaniard”
or español in the Habsburg period? We will also reflect on Dr.
Samson’s recent research into the relations between England and
Spain during the early modern perio and his long standing love of
Golden Age theatre. We will endeavor to set those subjects within
the broader story of Castile and her empire as told in Spain: the
Centre of the World, 1519-1682 (Bloomsbury 2015) and América: the
Epic Story of Spanish North America, 1492-1898 (Bloomsbury
2019).

HISTORY. LECTURE
THE SPANISH CRAZE: AMERICA’S DISCOVERY OF THE ARTS &
CULTURES OF THE HISPANIC WORLD, CA. 1880-CA. 1930 By Richard L.
Kagan (Johns Hopkins University)
Wed 16, 7:00 pm Online event, via Zoom. In English
At the close of nineteenth-century Spain and the United States
went to war. Paradoxically, that same era ushered in new interest
in Spanish, and more broadly, Hispanic culture throughout the
United States. This ‘craze’ for Spain manifested itself in multiple
realms: art and architecture, as well as in literature, food,
fashion, and design. This illustrated lecture explores the origins
of this ‘craze,’ the factors that fueled it, and, finally, why its
etched itself into American culture in ways that the “mini” Spanish
craze of Edwardian Britain did not. Richard L. Kaganis the author
of, among other well-known books, of The Spanish Craze. America’s
Fascination with the Hispanic World, 1779-1939 (University of
Nevraska Press, 2019).
