Call for Contributions: Monteagudo (2027) "The 27, a hundred years later".
The centenary commemoration of the events that contributed to the formation of the Generation of '27 poetic group provides an exceptional opportunity to revisit the most significant works of its authors, to verify the enduring relevance of their principles, and to examine the critical reception of their productions with sufficient perspective. The comprehensive approach we have adopted in this special issue is not limited to the list compiled by Gerardo Diego's foundational anthologies, nor to the snapshots that define the generational group. On the contrary, we have opted for an inclusive vision that includes the discursive voices that emerged after the initial core group and the poets who are now claiming a place in the canon after decades of editorial neglect. This issue is guided by a dual purpose: first, to trace the presence of the leading figures of the Silver Age in contemporary Spanish poetry; and second, to reevaluate the aesthetic and ideological tensions that marked a key moment in the development of Hispanic literature. In this sense, both panoramic contributions, focused on thematic constellations and the recurring symbolic universe of the group, and specific contributions, centered on the trajectory of particular authors, will be welcome. Likewise, the relevance of the generational roster—canonical or exocanonical—allows for comparative studies that analyze the intertextual relationships of the Generation of '27 with other European literatures, the ekphrastic stimuli they drew upon in their writing, and the intermedial dialogue evident in numerous texts. In addition to showcasing the stylistic versatility of the voices of the period, this monograph aims to reflect the internal evolution these poets underwent due to the tragic impact of the Spanish Civil War. Thus, the aim is to strike a balance between articles dedicated to the formative period of the Generation of '27 and those focused on verses from maturity or old age, where the disparate experiences of exile, the bitterness of the diaspora, or the elegiac reflection on the affective and literary ties severed by the conflict are often evident.
