The PhD candidate Estrella Díaz Fernández, researcher at the Centre ADHUC, will defend her doctoral dissertation, supervised by Rafael M. Mérida Jiménez (Universitat de Lleida), entitled "La colección 'La sonrisa vertical' y la representación literaria de las minorías sexuales". This collection of Erotic Narrative emerged in the site of the democratic transition with the aim of rescuing a genre previously censored by Franco’s dictatorship and of giving voice to young writers and their texts, written in either Catalan or Spanish. Taking into consideration the turbulent times in which they appeared and the ideological commitment of their publishing house, the volumes sought to disrupt the politics and the ethic codes of that society. This doctoral thesis is aimed at analyzing the different creations of Spanish and Hispano-American writers who favored the representation of lesbian characters between 1977 and 2017 with the objective of valuing their literary entity and their social and historical importance.
