1.2.8
Drafts on the Iberian Peninsula
Previously unobserved in a global view, drafts belonging to Iberian literary and
cultural traditions are here exploratorily approached in accordance with a wide sense of the term “draft”. The
chapter is divided into four sections: following some preliminary remarks, several desiderata
for a future history of drafts in the Iberian Peninsula are presented; the second section reflects upon the
coincidence (or lack thereof) between intellectual property and scribal agency in the composition of drafts;
the third is focused on the morphology and function of blank spaces in genetic materials; the conclusion
discusses, and contests, the idea of the draft as an unsuitable transcription, arguing in turn for its status
as a site where fluid authorial goals are enacted.
