THE DYSTOPIAN IMAGINATION IN CONTEMPORARY SPANISH LITERATURE AND FILM

Hispanic Urban Studies Series Editors Benjamin Fraser East Carolina University Greenville, NC, USA Susan Larson Texas Tech University Lubbock, TX, USA

Hispanic Urban Studies is a series of scholarly monographs, edited volumes, and translations focusing on Spanish, Latin American and US Latino urban culture. The humanities and the social sciences are closer in methodology than ever before. Hispanic Urban Studies serves a dual purpose: to introduce radically original humanities work to social science researchers while affirming the relevance of cultural production to discussions of the urban. This book series takes advantage of and further contributes to exciting interdisciplinary discussions between Hispanic Studies and Cultural Geography with the aim of bringing in new ideas about space, place, and culture from all parts of the Hispanic world. Monograph titles bring together analyses of the cultural production of the Hispanic world with urban and spatial theory from a range of disciplinary contexts. The series also welcomes proposals for edited volumes related to cities that contribute in creative ways to our understanding of the spatial turn in Hispanic Studies. Translations published in the series introduce English-­language readers to the rich legacy of materials on urbanism, urban culture, and cultural geography originally published in Spanish.
