Steven Hutchinson has worked on writing and travel (Cervantine Journeys), ethics in literary studies (Economía Ética en Cervantes), and has written many articles on topics including utopian thought, poetics, rhetoric, emotion, eroticism, geography, race, cultural and religious otherness. He is currently concluding a book project entitled Writing the Early Modern Mediterranean, and has recently co-edited a volume of the new journal eHumanista/Cervantes under the rubric “Cervantes and the Mediterranean”. He is Vice-President of the Cervantes Society of America.
Mercedes Alcalá Galán’s research is oriented primarily towards topics in poetics and gender studies in early modern Spain, with special emphasis on visual studies. She has published a book on Cervantes, Escritura desatada: poéticas de la representación en Cervantes as well as La silva curiosa de Julián de Medrano: estudio y edición critica, and is author of over forty articles on early modern literature as well as contemporary Spanish literature. She is currently working on a book about the literary and pictorial representations of women's sexuality in early modern art and literature.
