About the Journal

Revista Letral is an academic journal published by the University of Granada (Spain). It has a biannual periodicity and aspires to offer a scientific space of quality for the investigation, the development and the popularization of the Latin American and Spanish literary studies from a transatlantic approach.

This journal is divided into six sections that aim to address Spanish language literature in its many manifestations from theoretical perspectives and diverse disciplines. The "Transatlantic Studies" section collects scientific articles about Latin American and Spanish literature, exclusively from this theoretical perspective. The section "Miscellaneous" allows for articles of a scientific nature that deal with Latin American literature from different perspectives. The entry "Transversales" includes essays from other disciplines like cinema, architecture, etc. In addition, the journal offers a section of "Human Sciences", coordinated by the University of Rosario (Bogotá, Colombia). The last two sections are constituted by "Interviews" and "Reviews".

The dossier "Exile and women: reflective approaches to their experiences and writings" includes nine articles that deal with the production and reflection of women who lived through exile and who expressed their experiences in different discursive formats. In the texts, the masculinisation of the field of exile is put under tension by exposing the contributions that women have made to it from different disciplines and orientations, thereby questioning their place as mere companions during the punitive expulsion. This, together with an exercise in memory and recognition, based on the collection of "loose memories" (Stern, 1998), contributes to the discussions on women in exile and their writing processes (Avila, 2022b).
