Enlightenment in Spain, Portugal and Latin America

Project manager: Prof. Dr. Thomas Bremer

Project Description

The project aims to study the peculiarities of Enlightenment culture and literature in the Iberian Peninsula and in its colonies (Latin America). Until just less than twenty years ago, the presence of an Enlightenment discourse in Spain and Portugal was flatly denied by a scholarship strongly shaped by French, English and German Protestant-dominated criteria,while today it constitutes one of its most dynamic areas of research. The project attempts to combine literary and cultural studies and to link this with the research area B 5: book history, history of printing and circulation of knowledge.
