The
Postcolonial Condition:
Eurocentric Discourse in Latin America
(in progress)
Literary
representations of postcoloniality
in Latin America revolves around the
question whether the area may or may not be considered as a
postcolonial space.
My inquiry is focused on Latin American representations of
racial métissage, cultural hybridity and transculturation
situated in a postcolonial framework. I am
keenly aware of the danger
of the homogenizing gesture of a culturally, racially and
historically diverse area.

Global Academe:
Engaging Public Intellectual Discourse
Co-edited with
Karyn Hollis
Palgrave MacMillan
(2012) TABLE
OF CONTENTS
Following the line of inquiry advanced in
Truth to Power, this volume addresses the representation of the
economic, political and cultural interrelations between agents involved
in the process of intellectual activity, a distinct transformation in
intellectual production and the changing role of academics themselves.
“Taking an
international view and offering a range of perspectives, Global
Academe is a refreshing and exciting answer to claims that public
intellectuals are absent from society. Confrontational and provocative,
the essays in this volume argue that intellectuals still wield the power
of public debate. This book proves that public intellectuals are alive
and kicking and that many of them are to be found in institutions of
higher learning.”
Sophia McClennen,
author of
America according to Colbert.

FUTURE PROJECT
The Question of Agency:
Representations of the
Postcolonial Female Subject.
(Book-length project) |
Cultural theories have focused on the extent to which representation and language are crucial to identity
and the construction of subjectivity. My aim is to examine how
postcolonial and feminist postulates (those of Bhabha, Spivak, Loomba, Mohanty,
Suleri, among others) may be applied to the writing by women. I argue that these authors
represent in their work, Trinh Minh-ha's "triple bind", indicative of the
condition of the postcolonial female subjects, that ultimately determines the position from which they
write. |
