1) This book includes chapters by well-known international scholars in the areas of Cultural Studies, Linguistics and Anthropology, and who are based at universities all over the world (and not only at Anglophone centers, thus contributing to the epistemic decolonization of Academia).

2) This book provides a panoramic view of some of the main debates of today's Galician culture using the English language. Those interested in minority cultures and languages could learn a lot from the Galician case using this particular volume.

3) This book explores cultural practices, discourses and products that are not mainstream in previous accounts of Galician Studies: music, dance, cinema, and digital discourses are given an important role in the publication, while also including more theoretical, sociological, and anthropological approaches.

4) This book bridges international and domestic scholarship on Galiza with implication for Hispanic, Lusophone, and Cultural Studies more broadly. It is targeted at publics both global and local, trying to merge traditions and reconcile academic cultures outside and inside Galiza.

5) This book is particularly engaged in diversity and social justice: the chapters address feminisms, ecology, language revitalization, political violence towards national minorities, and LGBTQI issues.

Industry Reviews

"Framed as a collective reflection on the challenges and opportunities of rethinking Galician culture for a post-2008, post-Covid, rapidly digitalizing world, this ambitious essay collection will transform our understanding of contemporary Galicianness. The authors, all writing from beyond Galicia itself, critically embrace the identity of 'displaced subjects' to challenge the contemporary supremacy of sentidino, a distinctively Galician form of 'common sense', identified as a key tool in the ongoing containment of Galicianness to make it compatible with the demands of the neoliberal Spanish state. Drawing on an innovative, multidisciplinary corpus and diverse theoretical frameworks, the essays drive us beyond the familiar, exploring fresh dimensions of contemporary Galician culture that leave us in no doubt of its creative, outward-looking, transformative potential. I'm immensely excited about this collection, which promises to revolutionise Galicia's place in both teaching and research."

Kirsty Hooper, Professor of Hispanic Studies, University of Warwick, UK

"Beyond sentidino interrogates collectively some of the most significant cultural issues in Galiza today. Bringing to the fore ecocentric, queer and other counterhegemonic perspectives, the essays in this volume testify to the vibrancy of Galician Studies as a transdiscipline, a unique vantage point from which to illuminate the many facets of resistant cultural practice in (relation to) Galiza, which remains - to this day - a contested space of the Iberian, Hispanic and Lusophone spheres."

Helena Miguelez-Carballeira, Professor in Hispanic Studies, Prifysgol Bangor/Bangor University, UK
