Txetxu Aguado's research studies the interplay of post-utopian narratives, aesthetics, and politics in Spanish essay writing as well as the articulation of national, postnational, and peripheral identities in contemporary Spain.  His book, La tarea política: narrativa y ética en la España posmoderna (El Viejo Topo, 2004), focuses on the role the literary (narrative) plays in the formulation of political and identitarian projects for Spanish civil society.  He is currently writing a new book on memory, utopia and identity, The Ethics of Memory: Spaces of the Past in Contemporary Spanish Culture which analyzes the Spanish political context and its multiple imaginings of statehood, cultural identity, and history.
