Chapter 1 aims for a perspectival shift in the approach to remapping contemporary Galician culture and the challenges and opportunities it faces in a global environment. The chapter follows a postnational, non-canonical, and multi/interdisciplinary cultural studies approach, reflecting issues of transnational mobility, migration and transatlantic studies, more in sync with the hybrid complexities of contemporary cultural production. My theoretical perspective is particularly sensitive to the multiple interactions between the local and the global, and the creation of “glocal” realities in complex relations of interdependence and interpenetration.
