The paper “Nostalgia for the Animal in Contemporary Hispanic Literature” is the result of collaboration between the Antropolit Project (Project PID2023-147092OB-I00 funded by MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and by FEDER, EU) and MASKS. It was presented at the 6th International Conference on Exocanonical Studies, “On the Margins of Literature: From Oblivion to Nostalgia,” held at the University of Salamanca from October 15–17, 2025.
The presentation began with a theoretical framework drawing on well-known references (Berger, 1977; Lippit, 2000), and addressed various cases of human–animal masking and avatarization in the visual arts and, above all, in contemporary Spanish literature.
