Lectora: dossier on Central American women writers during the 20th century

Revista

Issue 27 of Lectora: revista de dones i textualitat has been published. The dossier included in this volume, edited by Tania Pleitez (Universidad de El Salvador/Bergische Universität Wuppertal) and Mónica Albizúrez (Universität Hamburg), aims to investigate the writings of Central American women based on their personal and professional experiences, that often involved movements through different spaces and interactions in different cultural fields. Under the title "Central American Women: Authorships and Writings Dispersed in Globality (1890-1980)", the dossier aims to delve into the trajectories of professional mobility that characterized Central American women writers during the 20th century, as well as to reflect on the implications of this mobility in sectors such as publishing, journalism, cultural management, visual arts and political activism. The dossier includes articles by Carla Rodríguez-Corrales, Ruth Cubillo and Marianela Muñoz-Muñoz (all from the University of Costa Rica); Silvia Gianni (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore); Sergio Coto-Rivel (Université de Nantes); and Patricia Arroyo Calderón (UCLA). The miscellaneous section includes works on women's literature, the feminist rewriting of children's stories and the perception of outsiders in the work of Virginia Woolf, among others. The journal also includes the usual sections of reviews and creation, where the translations into Catalan of the Caribbean poet Dorothea Smartt by Maria Grau (Universitat de les Illes Balears), Gemma García Parellada and Mar Juárez León appear.
