About the Images

On our main page we have a number of images that rotate each time the page is opened. This system of random rotation (if something random can be described as a system) reflects the profound heterogeneity of Spanish, Spanish American, and Luso-Brazilian literary and cultural studies at the start of the current century, as well as the almost overwhelming breadth of what we study: over 1,000 years of literature and language on five continents.

The following is a brief description (with hyperlinks) of each of the images on our main page:

  1. Statue at the Franciscan Monastery of Izamal (Yucatán, México)

  2. Aerial view over Corcovado (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)

  3. Detail of fountain statue at the Praça de D. Pedro IV (Rossio) in Lisbon, Portugal
