Vanessa Fernandez Greene Publishes Article on Norah Lange

Vanessa Fernandez Greene, a 2011 graduate of our PhD program in Hispanic Language & Literatures, has published on noted Argentine writer Norah Lange. Her article appears in the Spring 2018 issue of Texas Studies in Literature and Language. From the abstract:

Norah Lange created a girl-woman persona that both defied and conformed to social and literary expectations, opening new possibilities for her role as an avant-garde writer. Via textual analysis using Foucault’s concept of the heterotopias, I show how the protagonists of Voice of Life45 Sailors and 30 DaysChildhood Notebooks, and Before They Die present heterotopias that reflect the space Lange’s persona inhabited within the avant-garde.
