The uniqueness of the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum will be problematized, contrasting Adorno's and Benjamin's views on aura. The paper will also explore to what extent a new critical framework is necessary to study the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum as the paradigm of the new museum.

The article will explore the role of photography in the field of human rights and the interspace between private and public spheres. Brodsky's work aims to reinstate the gaps in the collective spheres of recollection and this will be contextualized in his artistic production from the late 1970s onwards. Nexo follows on from the internationally acclaimed project Buena memoria (1997) that was also an attempt to create a bridge for the memory for the new generation of Argentinians. This contribution aims to explore how Brodsky's artistic production represents what the Argentinian sociologist Elizabeth Jelín has described as art that wants to create a symbolic space to mediate traumatic experiences.

The main aim is to examine questions of genre, and, speci"cally, autobiography as ars moriendi, where issues of internal and external exile are explored and a #uid alternative narrative is o!ered, in contrast to the rigid o$cial narrative on AIDS.

And that this bilingualism is formed in conjunction with such widely spoken languages as Spanish and such prestigious languages in literary circles as French; languages that, in turn, have been displaced by the enormously central and legitimizing place that English occupies in the current global framework. The symposium attempted, moreover, to debate the consequences implied by linguistic extra-territorialization for many authors in a minority language, the realignment implied by the hegemony of English for all other literatures, and the options open to a minority author to get their voice heard in the World Republic of Letters. Together with the above themes, certain aspects of the academic study of a minority literature such as that of Basque completed the list of subjects we intended to examine.

These essays, which cover a wide range of time periods and geographical areas, but are united by the common question of what it means to'Read Iberia', offer an invigorating critique of many of the critical assumptions shaping the study of Iberian languages and literatures. This volume offers a ...

I can only express my most sincere gratitude to all the guest contributors. the generosity of their contributions and the enthusiasm with which the debates took place made the symposium a success. I am also indebted to the conference organizing committee, made up of the writer Bernardo Atxaga who, during the academic year 2007-8, was our William A. douglass Visiting distinguished Scholar, and by my colleagues Joseba Zulaika and Estibalitz Ezkerra. I appreciate most sincerely the ideas and guidance they offered me. finally, I would emphasize that the organization of the symposium would not have been possible without the encouragement and expertise of my colleagues at the Center for Basque Studies. thanks to Kate Camino for all her effort and unconditional dedication. to Sandy Ott, Xabier Irujo, and Eric Herzik for all the support they afforded me from the beginning. to Jill Berner for her skill in publicizing the event. And to our team of coworkers in Euskadi, Cameron Watson and Jose Luis Agote, for the excellent work undertaken in the copyediting and design of this book. Eskerrik asko bihotzez!
