Sept. 18 | Faculty Research Lecture Series: Rosario Hubert | Common Hour
12:15–1:15 p.m., Dangremond Family Commons, Hallden Hall. While Chinese classical poetry was a crucial reference for modernism at large, Chinese scriptural poetics did not penetrate in Latin America’s textual tradition as it did in its visual arts. It was not traditional lyricists but visual poets, translators and plastic artists working on the intersection of these fields who innovated poetically by engaging with the texture of the Chinese script.

Light lunch will be served.
