Faculty members in the Department of Comparative Literature at Emory have achieved national and international recognition. Most hold joint appointments with other departments reflecting the Department’s ongoing collaborations with other disciplines across Emory. Distinguished faculty outside the department also teach in our Ph. D. program and graduate students will find a departmental structure that allows for close working relationships with other programs. The Department’s particular areas of theoretical strength fall into five main interdisciplinary configurations and we encourage students to design their programs in one of these areas: 1) Trauma, Psychoanalysis and Testimony; 2) Literature and Philosophy; 3) Politics and Global Culture; 4) Comparative Literature and Religion; 5) Literature, Technology, and Human/Post-Human Studies. These fields represent the scholarly expertise of the Comparative Literature faculty as well as the interdisciplinary emphasis of the University. Within an overarching structure of requirements, all students work with a committee to develop an individualized program that prepares them to conduct research having a comparatist or interdisciplinary dimension: for example literary research in more than one linguistic tradition or theoretical investigations that cross between literature and other disciplines.

    The Nineteenth-Century Thomist from theF ar East: Cardinal Zeferino González, OP (1831–1894) Levine Andro H. Lao1 Center for Theology, Religious Studies and Ethics University of Santo Tomás, Manila, Philippines Abstract: In light of the celebration of the five centuries of Christianity in the Philippines, this article hopes to reintroduce Fr. Zeferino González, OP, to scholars of Church history, philosophy, and cultural heritage. He was an alumnus of the University of Santo Tomás, a Cardinal, and a champion of the revival of Catholic Philosophy that led to the promulgation of Leo XIII’s encyclical Aeterni Patris. Specifically, this essay presents, firstly, the Cardinal’s biography in the context of his experience as a missionary in the Philippines; secondly, the intellectual tradition in Santo Tomás in Manila, which he carried with him until his death; and lastly, some reasons for his once-radiant memory to slip into an undeserved forgetfulness. Keywords: Zeferino González, Thomism in Asia, Aeterni Patris, Christian Philosophy, History of Philosophy n the 1880s, the University of Santo Tomás had two grand celebrations that were associated with Fr.

  • Spanish Philosophers' Perceptions of Pay to Publish and Open Access
    Spanish philosophers’ perceptions of pay to publish and open access: books versus journals, more than a financial dilemma Ramón A. Feenstra1 & Emilio Delgado López-Cózar2 1Universitat Jaume I de Castelló (Spain) 2Universidad de Granada (Spain) Abstract This study examines habits and perceptions related to pay to publish and open access practices in fields that have attracted little research to date: philosophy and ethics. The study is undertaken in the Spanish context, where the culture of publication and the book and journal publishing industry has some specific characteristics with regard to paying to publish, such as not offering open access distribution of books published for a fee. The study draws on data from a survey of 201 researchers, a public debate with 26 researchers, and 14 in-depth interviews. The results reveal some interesting insights on the criteria researchers apply when selecting publishers and journals for their work, the extent of paying to publish – widespread in the case of books and modest for journals– and the debates that arise over the effects it has on manuscript review and unequal access to resources to cover publication fees. Data on the extent of open access and the researchers’ views on dissemination of publicly funded research are also presented. Keywords pay to publish, article processing charges, book processing charges, publishing model, publishing costs, publication funding, publishing fees, open access, scholarly communication, publishing practices, books, journals, peer review, ethics, philosophy, humanities, Spain.

Zambrano incorporates Greek concepts into her writing as a means to question conventional Philosophy, not as an aim or télos, but as an uncomfortable dwelling that paradoxically leads into suspension and doubt. Key concepts and artistic figures emerge in her seemingly illogical reasoning (razón poética) such as those arising from her work on the Greek Kouroi. Zambrano refuses fixity in Philosophy, where logic and method can be rigorously apprehended. She gracefully takes another turn: by elucidating ancient wisdom through allusive metaphors and ancient ruins, she resists direct pathways into History and Truth. Her style takes after her thinking and can often meander into the realms of enigma, mysticism, and other unconventional forms of thought such as intuition and dreams.

  • Rated Equis: American Reactions to the Films of Pedro Almodóvar
    Rated Equis: American Reactions to the Films of Pedro Almodóvar Honors College Thesis Catherine Wheeler Advisor: Tina Escaja Spanish Department University of Vermont Introduction Sweet heart of mine suddenly attacked. All for loving more than the permissible. All because a cigar sits in a mouth And dampens in its succulent silks. Because a provocative T-shirt points out On his chest, the sculpted shield, And a vigorous arm peeks from the smallest sleeve. All because some legs, some perfect legs, In the tightest pants, separate in front of me. They separate. -Ana Rossetti, “Chico Wrangler” (Translated Catherine Wheeler) Pedro Almodóvar, now the world’s most celebrated Spanish film director since Luis Buñuel, has been hailed as the poster boy for the Madrid movida, an “anything goes” cultural movement that immediately followed the death of Francisco Franco in 1975. The movida has been called an attempt to unify all people regardless of birthplace, politics, economics, and sexual identity, while in practice it pertained mostly to the middle and upper classes. After nearly forty years of extreme conservatism under Franco’s regime, the youth of Madrid reacted to its newfound creative and sexual liberty with unparalleled gusto. The movida emphasized a reversal of traditional gender roles, sexual experimentation, and drug use. By its end in the mid 1980s, politicians had embraced the movida as Madrid’s new, post-fascism identity (Stapell). This political institutionalization of an originally pseudo anarchistic movement signified the death of the period of extreme self-liberation. The movida petered out by the mid 1980s, largely due to the spread of AIDS and movida members’ rampant drug use.

[email protected] ABSTRACT The main film adaptations of the literary production of the American playwright Tennessee Williams premiered in 1950 through 1968, and they settled in the melodrama. These films contributed to the thematic evolution of Hollywood due to the gradual dissolution of the Hays Code of censorship and, furthermore, they determined the path of this genre toward more passionate and sordid aspects. Thus, A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, or Suddenly, Last Summer incorporated sexual or psychological issues through tormented characters that had not been previously dealt with in the cinema.

  • 18. Thinking (America) After Cavell: on Learning and Becoming Different
    CONVERSATIONS 7 18. Thinking (America) After Cavell: On Learning and Becoming Different ALONSO GAMARRA I read Stanley Cavell’s This New Yet Unapproachable America1 for the first time over a two-day bus ride from Montreal to Chicago. This happened a little bit more than a year ago, in March 2018, when I came back to the US, where I grew up undocumented. The following essay tries to respond to that reading from both a deep attach- ment to Cavell’s writing and a wish to learn how to think after his picture of American thinking. Alternatively, I can also say that this essay is an attempt at sitting with an ir- resolvable pull between the unapproachability of things, and the need of confronting the world with itself along the lines in which it meets in a series of topics and a place.2 The first of this essay’s two points of departure is a concern with the fate of philosophy in America. In “Finding as Founding,” Cavell introduces philosophy as the work of lasting in one’s receptivity and responsiveness to a changing world by both maintaining an orien- tation and recovering some way to go on3 when faced with a “loss of foundation.”4 Thus, philosophy can be seen as a continuous search for ground, or for the conditions in which getting from one place to another becomes possible, which includes the philo- sopher’s desires to go on in a particular way. The action of walking offers a way of ima- gining this understanding of philosophy, as a matter “of enduring as on a track” and “following on,” which includes taking successive steps as much as falling, sitting, lea- ping, and changing directions, and so turning from a given path.5 As an aversive suc- 1.
