Rubén Ríos Ávila
The distinguished Professor Ruben Rios Avilia will present his study of the exploration of the intersection of baroque poetry and queer theory through the comparison of the poetics of Cuban neo-baroque poet José Lezama Lima and Argentinian queer activist and neo-baroque poet Nestor Perlongher. The analogy will be explored from the stand-point of Góngora’s poetics and Deleuze’s philosophy of the fold.
He will also be meeting with Graduate Students for further discussion on Friday, November 16th at 3:30 PM in the Sala Pacheco, 2215 JMZ
