Volume XXV (2009)
of MONOGRAPHIC REVIEW/REVISTA MONOGRÁFICA
will treat the theme of
KITSCH, CURSI, "HIGH" AND "LOW" AND OTHER FASHIONS
IN HISPANIC LITERATURE
Volume XXV of Monographic Review
will be devoted to the topic of Fashion or Fashions, surveying their changing
manifestations across history, especially as represented in Hispanic literature,
and examining these in such forms as “Kitsch,” “Cursi,” “High Fashion” and the
revolts against or rejections of officially imposed fashions. Literary
representations of how fashions change, their social significance, the moral
virtues or failures symbolized by specific fashion trends, or generational
differences and their impact on fashions. Certain writers have given particular
attention to fashion—Galdós and Lorca come immediately to mind—and the topic is
well represented in costumbrista
writings where regional and/or national
costumes are prominent and acquire varied symbolic and socio-political
resonances.
