Spanish Studies Presents
A Student Conference: Give Me More! The Roles of Fiction within Life since Don Quixote
Friday, May 10, 2019
RKC 102
1:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
In this interdisciplinary conference, advanced students in Spanish studies will propose a possible archeology of autobiographical visual and written accounts produced in Spain, put in dialogue with Latin American and French cultural manifestations. We will focus on some of the numerous literary, film, and photography productions of our cultural present that seek to undermine the foundations of the split between fiction and reality. In this context, following Don Quixote, fiction will be understood as the space wherein the self—the author or the artist, the reader or the viewer—experiences, and experiments with, the world. Some questions that will arise in the students’ presentations are: What are the limits of art and literature? How does life interfere with fiction? How does fiction operate within life? 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
Open to all. In Spanish. Please join us on Friday, May 10, 1–3 pm, in RKC 102.
