Which were the mechanisms by which certain groups were positioned
at the margins of national narratives during the nineteenth
century, either via their exclusion from these narratives of
through their incorporation into them as 'others'? By engaging with
shifting ideas of exclusion and difference, the authors in this
book reflect upon the paradoxical centrality of the subaltern at a
time when literature was deployed as a tool for nation building.
The lasting presence of the Jewish and Moorish legacy, the
portrayal of gypsy characters, or the changing notions of
femininity in public discourse exemplify the ways in which images
of marginal 'types' played a central role in the configuration of
the very idea of Spanishness. ?Cuales fueron los mecanismos
mediante los que ciertos grupos fueron relegados a los margenes del
relato nacional durante el siglo XIX, bien a traves de su exclusion
de dichos relatos, bien a traves de su incorporacion a ellos como
"otros"? A traves del analisis de las ideas de exclusion y
diferencia, los autores de este libro reflexionan sobre la
paradojica centralidad de lo marginal en una epoca en la que la
literatura fue una herramienta fundamental para la construccion de
la nacion. La pervivencia del legado judio y morisco, la
representacion de personajes gitanos o las distintas nociones de
feminidad presentes en el discurso publico ejemplifican las formas
en que las imagenes de "tipos" marginales desempenaron un papel
central en la configuracion de la idea de espanolidad.
