"For many years, the Italian-American Political Solidarity Club has held an annual poetry reading on the holiday known as Columbus Day. Our purpose? To encourage our paesans to break with the legacy of Christopher Columbus and embrace a future based in human solidarity, not conquest, domination and war. Instead of conquest, we celebrate those who have stood up for justice. As Italian Americans, we honor our immigrant experiences as teachers, laborers, union organizers, and free speech advocates. By sailing away from Columbus, we start to break down the logic of conquest, which invariably leads to wars abroad and repression at home"--Page 4 of cover.

Beyond Sight, edited by Ryan D. Giles and Steven Wagschal, explores the ways in which Iberian writers crafted images of both Old and New Worlds using the non-visual senses (hearing, smell, taste, and touch). The contributors argue that the uses of these senses are central to understanding Iberian authors and thinkers from the pre- and early modern periods. Medievalists delve into the poetic interiorizations of the sensorial plane to show how sacramental and purportedly miraculous sensory experiences were central to the effort of affirming faith and understanding indigenous peoples in the Americas. Renaissance and early modernist essays shed new light on experiences of pungent, bustling ports and city centres, and the exotic musical performances of empire. This insightful collection covers a wide array of approaches including literary and cultural history, philosophical aesthetics, affective and cognitive studies, and theories of embodiment. Beyond Sight expands the field of sensory studies to focus on the Iberian Peninsula and its colonies from historical, literary, and cultural perspectives.
