Lecture:
"Queering the Warrior Maid"
Louise O. Vasvári (New York University; Guest Professor at the University of Connecticut):
A leading scholar on the
medieval Spanish Libro de buen amor (Book of Good Love), Professor Vasvári has also
published in such varied areas as sociolinguistics, gender theory,
folklore, and translation theory. Her most recent book is The
Heterotextual Body of the "Mora Morilla" (1999).
In her lecture, Professor Vasvári will discuss 500-year-old Hispanic
ballad "The Warrior Maid" and will show how an interdisciplinary framework
of queer and transgender studies can broaden the horizon in which the
ballad can be understood. |
