Ralph Penny
Ralph Penny is Research Professor and Professor Emeritus of Romance Philology in the School of Languages, Literature and Film at Queen Mary, University of London. Before retirement in 2005, he was a member of its Department of Hispanic Studies (and its predecessors) for thirty-nine years. His main academic interests lie in the fields of Romance, especially Iberian, dialectology, and the history of the Spanish language. His books include Variation and Change in Spanish (Cambridge University Press, 2000) and A History of the Spanish Language (second edition, Cambridge University Press, 2002). Ralph Penny describes the scope & benefits of the online archive of the journal he has worked on for eight years... The online archive of Hispanic Research Journal reveals a broad range of articles dealing with the languages, literatures of the Iberian and Latin American worlds, as well as the film and other visual arts produced in those regions. Within this broad sweep, it is possible to identify particular thematic strands which are particularly evident over the eleven-year life of the journal. Iberian and Latin American film is one such strand, while others include Hispanic poetry and the history of the Spanish and Spanish-American theatre. Readers may be especially attracted to the themed special issues that have been published over the years, on topics such as: ‘The Transnational in Iberian and Latin American Cinemas’ (8.1) ‘Institutionalizing Cultural Studies’ (9.1) ‘The Work of Robert Pring-Mill’ (10.1) ‘After 1808: The Spirit of the Age in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Liberalism’ (11.1)

He joined the Editorial Board of Hispanic Research Journal in September 2004 and took over as Editor-in-Chief in October 2011.
Tom Nickson
Recent work interrogates the connections between art and belief in medieval Iberia, particularly as a consequence of encounters between Christian, Islamic and Jewish traditions. His undergraduate courses cover material that ranges geographically from Prague to Portugal, and chronologically from eighth-century Aachen to nineteenth-century Yorkshire. He also teaches a specialist postgraduate course on cross-cultural contacts in medieval Iberia. Tom is Director of the Medieval Art and Medievalisms Research School in York's History of Art Department, and Co-Editor of the annual Visual Arts issue of HRJ.

HRJ Visual Arts Issue 13.5, Dec 2012
This special issue includes four articles based on papers from a conference held in York in July 2011. Three established scholars and one young, promising academic have written articles that intersect around two themes: the image of the king in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Castile, and the cloister of Burgos cathedral. The manuscripts, sculptures and buildings discussed are amongst the very finest of their age, but are almost unknown outside Spain, and little has been published on them in English. Accompanied by magnificent colour illustrations, these articles include stories of love, fury, deception and pride that will be of interest to historians and art historians, both of Spain and medieval Europe. Between ceremonial and chronicle: The book of the Coronation of the Kings of Castile, Two royal weddings and a funeral: Burgos 1219, 1269, 1275, Inscribed/Effaced. The Royal Manuscripts of the Alfonsine Estorias after 1284, Undressing the Past: Love, identity and conversion in 14th-century Burgos,
Trevor Dadson, Incoming Editor, talks about the upcoming film issue... It is clear that the frequency of articles on film has increased notably from one year to the next; it may well be that HRJ is now seen as an important and prestigious journal in which to publish articles on Spanish and Latin American film. The breadth of the research is also interesting: from established directors such as Carlos Saura and Luis Buñuel to more recent, avant-garde directors such as Pedro Almodóvar and Cesc Gay, and from Spanish and Mexican cinema to social film, documentary and TV. This is looking like a very healthy research area and one in which HRJ is playing a full part, as the number of new film articles for volume 13 demonstrates. We've highlighted some great film content for you here which is free until 15th February 2012:

ASHAHS The American Society for Hispanic Art Historical Studies was founded in 1974 to promote the study of the history of the visual arts of the Iberian Peninsula. It invites participation from all those in disciplines with research and scholarly interests in the visual culture of Spain and Portugal from prehistory to the present.
ARTES ARTES is a group, based in the UK and Ireland and with strong international links, dedicated to raising awareness and understanding of Iberian and Latin American art and culture. We organise visits for all our members to see exhibitions, from "Pintura de Los Reinos" a survey exhibition of post Columbian painting in Latin America last year in the Prado Museum, Madrid to a recent visit to Bonhams to view the newly discovered painting thought to be by Velasquez which was found in an attic in Whitstable. Such visits are an essential part of ARTES’ identity and provide an invaluable chance to discuss works and exchange views with our members. ARTES members receive the Annual Visual Arts Issue of Hispanic Research Journal as part of their membership. |
View FREE CONTENT online! Special issue: Negotiating Power in the Iberian Inquisitions: Courts, Crowns, and Creeds. Edited by Tyler Fisher and Catarina Fouto. Guest Editor Dr Tyler Fisher tells us more in his video: This special issue of the Hispanic Research Journal comprises an array of approaches and perspectives on the early modern Inquisitions of the Spanish and Portuguese empires. It includes detailed case studies of particular procesos alongside wide-ranging, comparative analyses of these Inquisitions’ evolution overseas and over time.
Retrato del Cardenal, ca1600, oil on canvas. The papers brought together here began as contributions to a one-day conference held at Exeter College, University of Oxford, on 15 March 2010; their present form reflects revisions made in the light of comments from the audience on that occasion, as well as insights gleaned from the culminating round-table discussion. Each paper also makes use of newly discovered archival sources or previously underappreciated documentation. This introduction provides a brief overview of their most significant conclusions and implications within the context of recent research. Woodcut from James Salgado’s The Slaughter-House While the Spanish Inquisition has long attracted the bulk of both scholarly and popular attention, its younger sibling, the Portuguese Inquisition (established in 1536), also played a major role in shaping Iberian influence in the Atlantic and beyond. Beginning with Charles Boxer’s The Church Militant and Iberian Expansion (1978), scholarship has increasingly recognized the importance of a comparative approach which takes both institutions into account....

About Dr Tyler Fisher Guest Editor of the special issue on Iberian Inquisitions
Upon completing a BA in English Literature and a second BA in Spanish at the University of Central Florida in 2003, Tyler Fisher became the first student from that university to attain a Rhodes Scholarship. This enabled him to pursue graduate studies at Magdalen College, University of Oxford, where his Master’s and doctoral research concerned metaliterary devices and Counter-Reformation theology in late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Spanish poetry. He was subsequently Queen Sofía Research Fellow and Lecturer in Spanish at Exeter College, Oxford (2008-2011).
Dr Fisher’s ongoing research projects include a study of autobiographical testimonies from inquisitional procesos, and an analysis of microcuentos by the present-day author José María Merino. His translation of José Martí’s Ismaelillo was published in 2007, and his translation of a sixteenth-century manual for Spanish inquisitors is forthcoming as The Inquisitor’s Handbook in the Aris and Phillips Hispanic Classics series.
