How is a body written, and in which ways can literary texts shed light on the tension between immediate bodily expressions and writing if medieval writing practices compete with the new technology of printing? The present volume Escritura somática: La materialidad de la escritura en las literaturas ibéricas de la Edad Media a la temprana modernidad explores the relations between corporality and writing in genres and discourses that are key for understanding the phenomenon. The Iberian perspective, including contributions on Spanish and Portuguese texts, focusses on the materiality of writing with a shared epistemic frame.
Contributors are Isabel de Barros Dias, Stephanie Béreiziat-Lang, Juan Casas Rigall, Robert Folger, Juan Pablo Mauricio García Álvarez, Miguel García-Bermejo Giner, Folke Gernert, Santiago Gutiérrez García, Simon Kroll, Miriam Palacios Larrosa, Adrián J. Sáez, and Margarida Santos Alpalhão.

"Sin duda, dicha variedad y la perspectiva panorámica hace de este libro un texto de interés para casi todos los especialistas en la época, además de presentar, como se proponían sus editores, la existencia de una epistemológica específica de la relación entre la materialidad de la escritura y el cuerpo en la Península Ibérica en los siglos XV y XVI, principalmente en la ficción. Así, este libro contribuye a consolidar el estudio de este aspecto en el ámbito específico de las literaturas ibéricas en lengua romance, con énfasis particular en la literatura castellana."
