DEADLINE EXTENDED
“There is more savagery, more brutality, in the pages of Wuthering Heights than in any novel of the nineteenth century, and, for good measure, more beauty too, more poetry, and, what is more unusual, a complete lack of sexual emotion…” Daphne du Maurier.

La frontera entre México y los Estados Unidos trasciende su mera definición geopolítica. Más allá de ser una simple demarcación territorial, esta línea divisoria se ha convertido en un espacio dinámico y multifacético que encarna la complejidad de las relaciones entre dos naciones con historias entrelazadas. Es un lugar de encuentro y desencuentro, de intercambio y conflicto, de esperanza y desilusión. Es un terreno fértil donde florece una identidad única, ni completamente mexicana ni totalmente estadounidense, sino una vibrante amalgama que desafía las categorías convencionales. La frontera es testigo de historias de migración, de sueños perseguidos y de vidas transformadas con el cruce de dos realidades.

Impregnable: Mediated Meanings of the Body in Resistance
Impregnability has many strong meanings - not becoming pregnant but also capable of withstanding assault. It's a term that lives in connotative alignment with infertility, of non- and un-reproducibility, but it also carries presence over absence, power over victimization. Think protesters who link arms to create an impregnable wall of resistance. Think castles that cannot be stormed. Indeed, the word literally means “unable to be defeated or destroyed; unassailable.”

Seminar 61.- Violence in Early Modern English Drama: From Stage to Screen
From the brutality of Titus Andronicus to the psychological torment of The Duchess of Malfi, early modern English drama is saturated with violence—performed or described, symbolic or spectacular. This seminar will explore how violence has functioned as a dramatic, cultural, and ideological force in early modern English theatre, and how its representations have evolved across time, including contemporary screen adaptations and TV series that borrow early modern tropes of violence, such as House of Cards or Game of Thrones.
