Acknowledgments

Susana Jiménez Placer feels especially indebted to the members of the Southern Studies Forum for their tireless contribution to the dissemination of southern studies and their readiness to share their insightful ideas in usually academic, but always friendly, occasions. She would also like to express her gratitude to the Competitive Reference Research Group “Discourse and Identity” (GRC2015/002 GI-1924, Xunta de Galicia) at the University of Santiago de Compostela, and to her colleagues in the Department of English and German Philology for their inexhaustible encouragement and disposition to help.

Carmen Rueda-Ramos is deeply grateful to her colleagues at the University of Santiago de Compostela, where she has always been welcomed and her ideas have found an appreciative response. Her heartfelt appreciation goes to Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina, particularly her friends Sandy Ballard and Katherine Ledford, for granting her access to the university’s library and the special collections, as well as for all the great moments in the mountains. An important part of the research for this project on life-writing was carried out at ASU. Special thanks are also extended to Catherine Dexter for her careful reading of some sections of the manuscript.

Finally, we would like to thank the Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MEC) for funding (FFI2013-44747-P) this study.
