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".

This special issue, coordinated by Gimena del Río Riande and Francisco Javier Ayala Gallardo, delves into the complex and fertile relationships between poetry and song in the Hispanic world. Through a transatlantic approach that brings together history, aesthetics, and cultural criticism, the articles gathered here explore how these two artistic forms engage in dialogue, intertwine, and are re-signified—from oral tradition to contemporary avant-garde expressions. From traditional songs to the most experimental manifestations, poetry has found in music not only a vehicle for dissemination but also a space for reinterpretation and transformation. The contributions presented show how these artistic expressions not only share formal elements but also serve as vehicles for memory, identity, and cultural resistance. In this way, the volume traces a literary and sonic map where music and literature, Latin America and Spain, meet, question one another, and mutually enrich their forms.
