Hispania

Hispania, the official journal of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP), invites the submission of original, unpublished manuscripts on applied linguistics, cultural studies, culture, film, language, linguistics, literary criticism, literature, and pedagogy. Throughout Hispania's history, since its founding in 1917, it has published scholarly articles and reviews that are judged to be of interest to specialists in the discipline(s) as well as to a diverse readership of teachers of Spanish and Portuguese.

The September 2025 issue of Hispania (108.3) is now available.

Some highlights include:

Two interviews: one with four comics creators—Enrique Bonet, Carles Esquembre, Josep Salvia, and Cecília Hill—and another with Marina Velasco Marta.
Five short-form articles covering topics such as teaching with comics, political imagination in Spanish graphic narrative, the Early Modern Period in comics, practical guidance on how to get started in comics studies, and contemporary graphic travelogues in the classroom.
Two research articles, the first on the comic El cielo en la cabeza and the second on Estamos todas bien.
A robust book and media review section, featuring Spanish as a Contact Language: An Ecological History, Masculinidades gays y maricas en la cultura española contemporánea, and The New Brazilian Mediascape: Television Production in the Digital Streaming Age.
