Galician audio/visual culture has experienced an unprecedented
period of growth following the process of political and cultural
devolution in post-Franco Spain. This creative explosion has
occurred in a productive dialogue with global currents and with
considerable projection beyond the geopolitical boundaries of the
nation and the state, but these seismic changes are only beginning
to be the subject of attention of cultural and media studies. This
book examines contemporary audio/visual production in Galicia as
privileged channels through which modern Galician cultural
identities have been imagined, constructed and consumed, both at
home and abroad. The cultural redefinition of Galicia in the global
age is explored through different media texts (popular music,
cinema, video) which cross established boundaries and
deterritorialise new border zones where tradition and modernity
dissolve, generating creative tensions between the urban and the
rural, the local and the global, the real and the imagined. The
book aims for the deperipheralization and deterritorialization of
the Galician cultural map by overcoming long-established hegemonic
exclusions, whether based on language, discipline, genre, gender,
origins, or territorial demarcation, while aiming to disjoint the
center/periphery dichotomy that has relegated Galician culture to
the margins. In essence, it is an attempt to resituate Galicia and
Galician studies out of the periphery and open them to the world.
