Alexander von Humboldt (and the world) : the Age of Enlightenment.
(October-November 2024)
As part of the III Cycle of Conferences “Discovering the German”, the library organizes an exhibition dedicated to the German scientist, naturalist, geographer and explorer Alexander von Humboldt and the time he lived in, the Age of Enlightenment. On display are works by the author, essays on his scientific trip to South America (in which he would stop in A Coruña), but also literary, philosophical, musical and scientific works of the German Enlightenment, as well as a selection of books by economists who laid the theoretical foundations of modern Economics.
Curiosities of the Philology Library
(June-September 2024)
The Biblioteca de Filoloxía holds materials other than books and journals on paper that are often not shown to the general public and some of them are even surprisingly kept in this institution. In the exhibition, these "treasures" are grouped into four categories: old books, facsimiles, books on other media than paper and materials other than books.
Día das Letras Galegas 2024: Luísa Villalta
(May-June 2024)
Luísa Villalta is the author honoured in the Día das Letras Galegas 2024. In this exhibition you can see several outstanding creations of this writer, philologist and musician, extracted from the own funds of the libraries of the UDC and the Biblioteca-Arquivo Pillado Mayor: the original text of ‘Música reservada’ (the writer's first book of poems) and the unpublished manuscript of the play ‘Os pasos contados’, as well as a calligram of the poem from the play ‘Ruído’; this is the only calligram in colour that Luísa Villalta made and one of the two she made, together with that of ‘Rota ao interior do ollo’. Published works by the writer and essays about her and her work complete the exhibition.
Sin pauta ni frontera
(April-May 2024)
Bibliographic exhibition framed within the I Cycle of Activities on Contemporary Spanish Writers, organized by the teacher and students of the subject 'Spanish Literature in the 20th and 21st centuries'. Its objective is to vindicate and make visible contemporary women's writing, that of those whose names we do not usually find in the usual literary histories, that of those that are on the margins of the canon.
Responsible tourism
(April 2024)
The intersection of tourism and sustainability is essential to preserve cultural and natural wealth. This is the theme of this bibliographic exhibition: works that underline the need for responsible tourism management, promoting practices that respect the environment, the local community and its culture.
Comic and memory: drawing the Civil War
(February-March 2024)
As Michel Matly explains in his article "Drawing the Civil War. Representation of the Civil War (1936-1939) in comics published since 1976" (2015), the relative abundance of comics on the Civil War published since 1976 shows the interest that this historical episode continues to arouse both in Spain and abroad. At the end of 2013, there were 313 comics published since 1976 that dealt with the war in whole or in part, and this number has continued to grow until the present day. This exhibition shows some of them, present in the collections of the UDC, among which stand out those starring writers who suffered the fratricidal conflict.
