VII Hispanic Studies Colloquium
Entre-Mundos: De mundos nuevos, otros e intermedios en las literaturas ibéricas y de América de la temprana Edad Moderna
April 8–11, 2026, in Augsburg

Although Hispanic research on the early modern period has long focused on the Spanish Golden Age, fundamental theoretical questions about cultural transfer—such as those raised by Wolfgang Iser and Sanford Budick in their edited volume on “Translatability of Cultures” (Stanford UP: 1996) or those promoted by the “TransArea Studies”, recently developed by Ottmar Ette et al.—have broadened the perspective of cultural and literary studies to include more ‘glocal’ processes of knowledge transformation and poiesis.

In this context, international contributions to the Augsburg Colloquium will seek to focus analytically on the spaces of intermediacy and otherness evoked by early modern textual sources, combining them with reflections on philological-hermeneutical & cultural studies and decolonial approaches.

In addition to Ibero-Romance studies, interdisciplinary perspectives will also be used to review the poetological, historical-cultural, and epistemological relationships between America and Europe.
