Dear all,

Sending a reminder of three events this week that might be of interest--please come to what you can and remind/encourage students:

Tuesday, 5:00-6:30, Posner Grand Room: 

Science-Fiction, Latin America, and the Art of Anachronism: An "Other" Science-Fiction is Possible

Aníbal González-Pérez (Professor of Spanish, Yale University) will explore Latin American science fiction in this talk, unraveling the complexities of defining the genre while tracing its evolution through time. 

Wednesday, 12:45-2:00 MLRC (with light lunch)

Writing "Asaltos al Escenario": A Journey Through Sabina Berman's Biting Humor

Priscilla Meléndez, professor of languages and cultures at Trinity College, delves into the audacious world of Sabina Berman's dramaturgy in this talk. Through insightful analysis, Meléndez will unravel the intricate layers of humor and irony within Berman's plays, particularly focusing on "Molière" (1998) and "El narco negocia con Dios" (2012), to illuminate how they caricature the profound historical, political, social, and sexual power dynamics of Mexican society. 

Friday, 3:30-5:30, Posner Grand Room and Hallway
