Please join the Department of Latina/Latino Studies for an installment of the department's speaker series! For this event, Angelica Waner, Assistant Professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, will provide a brief overview of her current book project. Through interdisciplinary methods of close reading, archival research, and Indigenous Theory, Dr. Waner argues that Zapotec literary magazines published in Mexico City and Oaxaca across the 20th century can be read as sites of autonomy for Isthmus Zapotec intellectuals. Through the publication and dissemination of these magazines, the intellectuals enact Zapotec futurities. The talk will then connect these magazines to preliminary research on zines published in California by Oaxacan youth and students, exploring the thematic connections that cross borders and time.
