Charleston Library Conference

This poster looks at the circulation rate for literary primary texts, which constitute a unique area of collecting in academic libraries: while they do not in most cases meet immediate research needs, it is assumed that libraries ought to acquire them, for reasons including future research needs, preservation of the cultural record, and the ability of members of the intellectual community to stay current, those these remain primarily tacit.

The Validity Of Online Learning And Teaching Of A Spanish Using An Online Delivery Mode, Rosalind Arthur

South East Coastal Conference on Languages & Literatures (SECCLL)

Incorporating Online learning as an optional delivery mode of instruction in tertiary institutions with traditional campuses has been the trend in recent years.

The presenter teaches Spanish at an HBCU which has been offering some general education courses online during the summer.

South East Coastal Conference on Languages & Literatures (SECCLL)

El asadito y El cumple: personajes y espacio como formas de significado

En este ensayo se realiza una aproximación a los filmes El asadito (2000) y El cumple (2002) ambos dirigidos por el cineasta argentino Gustavo Postiglioni. Nos detendremos especialmente en la función connotadora del espacio y los personajes en los dos filmes, que remite tanto a una atmósfera espacial sofocante como a personajes alienados, anclados en una innacción existencial.

Senior Honors Projects, 2020-current

Tu rostro mañana ( 2002-2007), una novela en tres partes de Javier Marías (Madrid, 1951), mira el mundo a través de los ojos cautelosos del protagonista Jacques Deza, un agente de observación, encubierto, que trabaja bajo una presión insuperable para mantener el silencio mientras escribe la historia y las consecuencias de no hacerlo. La extensión de la novela sola es un apunte irónico a la incapacidad humana de mantener el silencio que uno pretende establecer. Con más de mil páginas, divididas entre los tres libros, Marías utiliza su técnica de escritura de flujo de conciencia para comprometerse con el lector …

The work attempts to continue the decolonizing work of disrupting the capitalist dichotomy between freedom and enslavement which threatens to erase the multiplicity of black existence in the colonial Caribbean.
