Renewed approaches to modern Hispanic Studies (1700 to the present), across a range of areas involving Spanish and Latin American Culture

PhD scholarship available in Modern Hispanic Culture. Applications from students wishing to develop renewed approaches to modern Hispanic Studies (1700 to the present), across a range of areas involving Spanish and Latin American Culture are welcome. Keys aims include:

- to develop genuinely interdisciplinary approaches, including reference for example to literature, thought, visual art and culture.
- to develop approaches involving deep time or the longue durée and/or the reinvention of the past.
- to develop comparative approaches, and especially those exploring similarities across cultures.
- to develop approaches that look beyond a narrow focus on historical context.
- to incorporate work on imperialism and colonialism in the modern period.
- to develop approaches that look at affiliations beyond one country, especially Atlantic studies, and studies of internationalism, cosmopolitanism; and related aspects of utopian studies.
- to revise the canon of Hispanic culture of this period.
