Education

  • University of Toronto

    Ph.D.

    Spanish
    Ph.D. Dissertation: "De la utopía de la solidaridad al dolor del cambio: discursos alrededor de un terremoto". This dissertation examines the textual representations of the earthquake that hit Mexico City in 1985 as a historically significant episode in the life of the city, and this project compensates for a significant omission of literary criticism - that has relegated the substantial corpus of texts about this catastrophe to brief comments or footnotes on other topics.

    Las páginas de este volumen incluyen un conjunto variado de textos en torno al acontecer político y cultural de México que el escritor dominicano Pedro Henríquez Ureña estaba organizando para su eventual publicación. El proyecto quedó incompleto por la inesperada muerte de Henríquez Ureña en 1946, pero ahora presentamos al lector esos textos escritos con la agudeza, el rigor y el apasionamiento propios del testador que se propone dar cuenta cabal de la vitalidad de una cultura que entendió como modélica para los afanes de Hispanoamérica. Entre estos, ofrecemos en primicia reseñas sobre la ópera, el teatro y la música en México que sin duda serán fuentes documentales invaluables para el estudio de la vida cultural en el país a principios del siglo XX.
