The Intercultural Relations Germany–Spain Research Group (RIALE) aims to lay the foundations for a comprehensive research on intercultural relations between Spain and German-speaking countries from the Middle Ages to the present era. The group’s research is based on a corpus comprising a range of texts that are particularly relevant for the history of intercultural relations, including travel literature, cosmographies, encyclopaedias, travel guides, diaries, memoirs, journalistic texts, essays and films. This corpus has enabled RIALE to publish an anthological volume, as well as multiple articles and book chapters. The group has also organised several international congresses on this topic, and has participated in similar events in Europe (in Spain and other countries), Africa and the Americas.
