What is Spain?

Spain is a subject that appears across history, political science, cultural studies, and international relations courses. Its long arc from medieval kingdom to global empire, followed by decline, dictatorship, and democratic transition, gives it unusual range as an academic subject. Students are drawn to Spain because it sits at the intersection of European development and world history, serving as a bridge between the Old World and the Americas, between Christian and Islamic civilization, and between colonial power and postcolonial consequence. Its influence on language, law, religion, and governance across multiple continents makes it genuinely difficult to contain within a single discipline.

The papers archived on this topic reflect that breadth. Many take a historical approach, tracing how Spain became a world power and examining specific episodes such as the Spanish Armada's confrontation with England in 1588 or the conquest of New Spain. Others shift to cultural and colonial analysis, exploring how Spanish conquest shaped contemporary Mexican identity or produced lasting structures in colonial Africa and the Philippines. Some papers zoom into individual figures or movements, including the architect Antonio Gaudí, while others engage with policy questions such as immigration and international commercial law, situating modern Spain within contemporary European frameworks.

A strong essay on Spain needs a clearly bounded thesis — covering five centuries in a few pages produces only surface-level survey. Papers that work well commit to one period, region, or causal argument and support it with specific historical evidence or textual analysis. The most common pitfall is treating Spain as a backdrop rather than an agent, so make sure your argument explains why Spanish decisions, institutions, or culture produced particular outcomes rather than simply describing what happened.

Fascination and repulsion from Otherness in Song of Kali and The City of Joy

In this chapter, I examine similarities and differences between The City of Joy by Dominique Lapierre (1985) and Song of Kali by Dan Simmons (1985) with regard to the themes of the Western journalistic observer of the Oriental Other, and the fascination-repulsion that inspires the Occidental spatial imaginary of Calcutta. By comparing and contrasting these two popular novels, both describing white men's journey into the space of the Other, the chapter seeks to achieve a two-fold objective: (a) to provide insight into the authors with respect to alterity (otherness), and (b) to examine the discursive practices of these novels in terms of contrasting spatial metaphors of Calcutta as "The City of Dreadful Night" or "The City of Joy." The chapter further argues that these spatial metaphors are redolent of what Peter Stallybrass and Allon White (1986) refer to as the "phobic enchantment" (p. 124) of the Occidental social imaginary for the poverty, squalor and the horror of the Third World.
