I question the legacy of a pre-Christian Celtic identity that perseveres in today’s Galicia in Northwestern Spain. Through a life-changing reading of one novel, La sirena negra (1908) of Emilia Pardo Bazán, I became hyper aware of alternate interpretations of the novel which were previously unconsidered, as certain prominent details of place and their implications had been ignored in the scholarly literature criticizing the cultural product of this author, in favor of a gender-driven methodology and thesis that lead to the low fruit of what I might call catholocentric interpretation.

Aaron BurnsI'm an entrepreneurial linguist and musician, a European in a former life, and an indefatigable conversationalist (like June). I'm available for hire as coach, teacher, writer, editor, analyst, consultant, marketeer, content specialist, translator, interpreter, MC, facilitator or performer. This blog is a portfolio of my interest and abilities in various languages of which I have extensive knowledge. I am also a student of several other languages that I am less intimately familiar with and they all bring me great joy. I currently hold degrees in Language and Literature as well as in Vocal Music Performance, both fields in which poetics and interpretation are no strangers. Archives
