*I first proposed the concept (Pen)Insular Studies in my dissertation at Harvard University, Insular Syntax: Archipelagic Thinking and Relational Literature (2020), as a new and more inclusive term that incorporates and visibilize the traditionally neglected archipelagic spaces of Spain within the field of Spanish literary and cultural studies.
