Research Abstract |
Most of my current research and writing involves nineteenth and twentieth century Latin American literature and culture. I am especially interested in working across the divide that often needlessly separates Brazilian studies from studies of Spanish America. Other areas of interest include cultural and postcolonial studies and theories of subjectivity, community, subalternity and hegemony. I am currently finishing a manuscript on politics and representations of the Canudos War in Brazil. Undergraduate classes taught at Irvine include: Popular Culture, Genre & Medium: Technologies of the Self, Aesthetics & Politics in Latin American Film, Cannibalism, 20th Century Latin American Literature Graduate classes at Irvine include: Literature and the State in Latin America, Coloniality & Postcoloniality in the Americas, Cultural Studies: Geneologies & Practices |
