Annual Alumni Lecture with Thomas E. Lewis: Liquid Reference: Empathy, Cognition, and Fiction under Capitalism Tuesday, April 8, 2008 4:00 p.m. Literature Building, Room 155, (deCerteau) Tom Lewis is Professor and Chair of the Spanish and Portuguese Department at the University of Iowa. He received his Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from the UCSD Department of Literature in 1978. A recognized scholar in the fields of Spanish and Latin American Literature and Culture, Professor Lewis has written extensively on the relationship of culture and theory to the Spanish state, and, more recently, on new directions within critical theory, as discussed in his monograph on Notas para una teoría del referente, and in his articles on Marxism and Nationalism, and on The Politics of ‘Hauntology in Derrida’s Specters of Marx’. In addition to his critical work on Spanish literature, Lewis in the last decade has also focused his attention on a variety of cultural and political struggles in Latin America, as evident in the anthology he edited titled Globalization and Mass Struggle in Latin America and in his co-authored work on Cochabamba: Water Rebellion in Bolivia. He has also written numerous articles on 21st century events in Bolivia, Ecuador, Brazil, Argentina, and Chile and has co-edited a monographic issue of International Socialist Review on The Future of the Global Justice |
