Alberto Villamandos PROF, ASOC





    Research Description
    My research focuses on Spain's literature and intellectual history during the 20th century. Specifically, I have written on the 1970's upper class progressive elite "Gauche Divine" and the Transition to democracy in the turn of the decade. My current project deals with 1980's Spanish literature and its dialogue and tension with the idea of Europe and the European canon: cosmopolitanism, cultural recycling, literary "types" (the dandy, the flanĂȘur, the out cast poet, etc.) I have also worked on graphic novel, immigration, and fashion studies.
