Spanish Golden Age Poetry in Motion: The Dynamics of Creation and Conversation

The fourteen essays of this volume engage in distinct ways with the matter of motion in early modern Spanish poetics.

Los catorce ensayos de este volumen conectan de una manera perceptible con el tema del movimiento enla poes?a espa?ola del siglo de oro

The fourteen essays of this volume engage in distinct ways with the matter of motion in early modern Spanish poetics, without limiting the dialectic of stasis and movement to any single sphere or manifestation. Interrogation of the interdependence of tradition and innovation, poetry, power and politics, shifting signifiers, the intersection of topography and deviant temporalities, the movement between the secular and the sacred, tensions between centres and peripheries, issues of manuscript circulation and reception, poetic calls and echoes across continents and centuries, and between creative writing and reading subjects, all demonstrate that Helgerson's central notion of conspicuous movement is relevant beyond early sixteenth-century secular poetics, By opening it up we approximate a better understanding of poetry's flexible spatio-temporal co-ordinates in a period of extraordinary historical circumstances and conterminous radical cultural transformation.
Los catorce ensayos de este volumen conectan de una manera perceptible con el tema del movimiento en la poes?a espa?ola del siglo de oro, sin limitar la dial?ctica de la estasis y movimiento a una sola esfera o manifestaci?n ?nica. Entre los multiples enfoques cabe destacar: el cuestionamiento de la interdependencia de la tradici?n e inovaci?n, de la poes?a, del poder y la pol?tica, de los sigantes que se transforman, de los espacios que conectan y cruzan con los tiempos 'desviados'; an?lisis de las tensiones entre lo sagrado y lo secular, del conflicto centro-periferia y del complejo sistema de producci?n, circulaci?ny recepci?n de los manuscritos; el di?logo con el eco po?tico a trav?s de los siglos y de los continentes y la construcci?n creativa del sujeto escritor y/o lector. Al abrir la noci?n central de Helgerson del "movimiento cono" m?s all? de la poes?a nueva secular, este libro propone un entendimiento m?s completo de las coordinadas espacio-temporales de la poes?a en un periodo de circunstancias hist?ricas extrao
