The Multiplicity of Worlds

Author(s): Magdalena Barbaruk
Subject(s): Geography, Regional studies
Published by: Instytut Sztuki Polskiej Akademii Nauk
Keywords: Cervantes; La Mancha' Spain;landscape

Summary/Abstract: The author deliberated on the reasons why La Mancha, the central and most recognizable region of Spain, is simultaneously a “next to“ world, i.e. different, unknown, and provincial, a Schulzian “Republic of Dreams”. Essential importance is ascribed to the fact that the most celebrated although fictional inhabitant of this region was the knight errant Don Quixote. The article depicts the symptoms and possible causes of the constant marginalisation and peripherialisation of works of Spanish culture in the humanities.
