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 Life, 45 Sailors and 30 Days, Childhood Notebooks, and Before They Die present heterotopias that reflect the space Lange’s persona inhabited within the avant-garde.
