Zusammenfassung:In a country where the richness of diverse cultures is often overshadowed by historical conflicts, this book delves into the complex relationship between the so-called "center" and "periphery" within Spain's borders. Traditionally, the center has symbolized Castilian identity, while the periphery encompassed other regional cultures. But in today's rapidly evolving social landscape, what do these terms really mean? This work reexamines the "center vs. periphery" paradigm through the lens of contemporary Spanish literature, cinema, and media. It poses critical questions about the existence and nature of a unified Spanish identity and investigates whether the tension between these cultural spheres persists. The book also challenges readers to consider which aspects - linguistic, gender, or other forms of identity - play the most significant role in this dynamic. Furthermore, it scrutinizes whether marginalized groups such as BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and differently-abled communities are relegated to the periphery in modern Spain. This book may be useful for researchers and students in gender and women's studies, Queer studies, media studies, Spanish literature, and language, as well as those exploring separatism, race, and Blackness
