About this Event

Annual Joanot Martorell Lecture with Dr Rhiannon McGlade (versión en español más abajo)

Dr Rhiannon McGlade, Lecturer in Hispanic Studies at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow will be giving a lecture titled “The Irascible Ink: Satire and Subversion in Catalan Feminist Comic Art”. This activity, organised by Instituto Cervantes London and the Centre for Catalan Studies at Queen Mary University of London, for the annual Joanot Martorell Lecture in Catalan Studies.


Along with a deep interest in Spain and Catalonia in particular, the idea of humour and visual culture as dissidence has been at the centre of much of Rhiannon's research. Her work focuses on a wide range of cultural media including visual print media (comics, 'zines, graphic novels and editorial cartoons), literature, film, theatre, television and the press within the broader context of 20th and 21st century Spain and Latin America.


Before joining the University of Strathclyde in 2022 as Lecturer in Hispanic Studies, she spent six years in research and teaching positions at the University of Cambridge. Prior to Cambridge, she held positions at the University of Birmingham, the University of Sheffield, UCL, and Queen Mary University of London, where she was also Director of the Centre for Catalan Studies. Since 2020, she has been the General Editor of the Journal of Catalan Studies.


Her published works include Catalan Cartoons: A cultural and political history (2016), which received funding from Institut Ramon Llull and has been reviewed in the Catalan media and seven major journals. Other recent collaborative projects include the co-edited special issues 'Out of the Gutter: The Politics of Dissent in Spain's Visual Print Media since 1975' (Bulletin of Spanish Visual Studies) with Bryan Cameron and '(Dis)articulating Identities: Multilingual Cultures in the Catalan Countries' (Journal of Catalan Studies) with Brad Epps. Rhiannon is currently working on her latest book-length project, In Visible Ink: Gender, Sexual Dissidence and Visual Print Media in Spain's Transition (1968-1992).


The lecture will be followed by a Q&A session. The event is aimed at Queen Mary students and the general public with an interest in this topic.
