Nadia Mann Completes Doctoral Degree
Nadia Mann, a student in our Hispanic Language & Literatures program, has successfully defended her doctoral dissertation, titled Intermedia Strategies of Narrative Resistance: Cartucho, La Noche de Tlatelolco, and Representations of Ayotzinapa, directed by Prof. Adela Pineda.
The dissertation examines the use of visual media as a means of resistance to oppressive political narratives in five Mexican works from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including two novels (Nellie Campobello’s Cartucho: Relatos de la lucha en el Norte de México and Elena Poniatowska’s La noche de Tlatelolco) as well as three projects, both visual and discursive, related to the 2014 forced disappearance of 43 students of the Ayotzinapa Teacher’s College in Guerrero, Mexico.
Congratulations, Nadia!
