Making The Invisible, Visible: The Body And The Nation In Laura Ruiz Montes’ A Ciegas, Yvette Fuentes Oct 2013

Making The Invisible, Visible: The Body And The Nation In Laura Ruiz Montes’ A Ciegas, Yvette Fuentes

Quadrivium: A Journal of Multidisciplinary Scholarship

This study analyzes A Ciegas, a one-act playby the Cuban writer Laura Ruiz Montes (Matanzas, 1966). In this work, Ruiz Montes relies upon both the erotic (specifically the female body) and the supernatural, to underscore the complex nature of gender and sexuality within Cuba’s national history.

Feast Your Eyes On This—Markets In Ponta Delgada, Azores, And Granada And Barcelona, Spain: A Photographic Essay, Edwin Stieve

Quadrivium: A Journal of Multidisciplinary Scholarship

Before Publix, Winn Dixie and other chain supermarkets emerged in the 20th Century, there were markets on open, cobblestone streets somewhere near the center of many small towns throughout America.

While the tradition has disappeared from many U.S. cities, permanent, open-air markets still thrive in Africa, Asia, and Europe where vendors set up carts and …
