"Unha espía no Reino de Galicia" by Manuel Rivas: humour and the construction of Galician national identity
Keywords:
humour, stereotype, parody, identity, Galician language, emigration
Abstract
This study analyzes how Manuel Rivas takes advantage of the ambiguity of the concept of stereotype to create a Galician cultural identity. In Unha espía no Reino de Galicia (2004), Rivas suggests that the parodic image of Galicians and the set of stereotypical traits that are assigned to them are not an alien element to Galician culture, but an integral feature of the dialectic of their national identity. Thus, the Galician differential fact, besides the language, territorial unity, the Celtism, or emigration, would also contain the Galician ability to parody their own national discourse.Downloads
