“…They act as “historical documents, and provide crucial source-materials for future researchers” (ibid). The interview genre, as literary scholars Anneleen Masschelein and Rebecca Roach manifest, is a multiform, transient, and slippery hybrid “practice” in the literary field that offers up “a key means of constituting publics, subjects, and authorship” (2018: 170). Interviews also lay out another depth: they function as an introduction to new horizons, integrate personal knowledge, and equip us with a more advanced inquiry of specialized topics appealing to different readers, critics, and thinkers.…”

More than a special issue, this endeavor serves as a sourcebook and provocation amplifying embryonic but interlinked sites of inquiry: LatinXness in Spain and its vital conversation with US LatinX studies as well as Iberian studies. LatinXs share historical and cultural connections to the Spanish and American empires. The contemporary period marks a significant moment on both sides of the Atlantic, as Spain now houses Europe’s largest LatinX population and the shifting ground of LatinXness exceeds the United States as well as a North-South axis of analysis. With an eye toward being wide-ranging, bringing forward fresh insights, and offering a crucial reference for an expanding area of interest—transatlantic LatinX studies—this undertaking provides historical contexts, defining moments, conceptual parameters, and critical approaches that appraise how Spain’s sociocultural and intellectual climate has fully entered a LatinX epoch. The exploration faces a cluster of questions: What do current characterizations of Spanishness invigorate when it admits a long ignored—and inseparable—LatinX foundation? What constitutes Spanish national currency when animated by LatinX bodies and imaginations? What is Spain—and what is Europe—to LatinXness and the Global South? What kind of new Spain—and new Europe—emerge from LatinXness and Global Southness? Collected here are original arguments and contributions—academic articles, think pieces, critical conversations, poetry, and creative nonfiction—orienting us on central thematic concerns that include: new directions and perspectives in transatlantic LatinX studies; the idea of Europe and Europeanness from Spain’s southernmost archipelago, the Canary Islands; LatinX nonhuman origins at the Royal Botanical Garden in the Spanish capital; the history, uses, and dissemination of the Panchito/Panchita racial slur; Madrid’s twenty-first century LatinX Spanish language, migration, and culture; present-day brown drag performance and practices; Afro-Spanish-Colombian poetry and politics; rurality, depopulation, and LatinX repopulation in Aguaviva, Spain; diasporic bodies and expressions of identity through movement; and movement in translation, X equivalencies across bodies, geographies, and languages. The volume, as a whole, is an entry point into LatinX studies and Iberian studies marshaling ideas and thinking tools that may be veering toward a new field of study.

“…Cuando empezaba a considerar la posibilidad de leer esos libros raros o inclasificables como textos biográficos, la revista Biography, editada por el Biographical Research Center, consagró un número completo a la entrevista. En varios artículos de ese número se asegura de diversos modos que aquella es sin dudas un material de la biografía (una materia prima o una "herramienta" del biógrafo, ya se trate de entrevistas realizadas por él mismo o de otras que halló en su trabajo de investigación), pero también, con pleno derecho, una "práctica creativa" y una posible inflexión de ese género (Masschelein y Roach, 2018). En otro trabajo de mi autoría (Fontana, 2019), consideré Magnetizado desde esta perspectiva.…”

En este artículo, se propone una lectura de Nací para ser breve, de Gabriela Massuh, como un texto que forma parte de lo que Roland Barthes llamó “nebulosa biográfica”, es decir, un texto que sin ser cabalmente una biografía o una autobiografía trabaja con este tipo de materiales: con la escritura de vidas reales. Al respecto, se plantea que la entrevista –el libro, en su parte central, es una larga entrevista que Massuh le realizó a María Elena Walsh en 1981, mientras esta se recuperaba de un cáncer– es un modo posible de contar una vida. Al respecto, en el trabajo se hace hincapié en el problema de la autoría a propósito de un libro como este. Además, se inquiere por el lugar que el silencio y la muerte ocupan en la posibilidad de existencia de este libro. En este sentido, esta indagación se acentúa en relación con las denominadas “últimas entrevistas” y con las deathbed scenes. Finalmente, a propósito del problema de la transcripción de la entrevista, se postulan algunas hipótesis sobre el problema de la voz –entendida como sonido, como phoné– en la escritura biográfica.
