Pibas’ Acts of Storytelling That Matter: Childhood and Youth Narratives of the Post-Dictatorship Generation in Argentina by Carolina Añón Suárez, Assistant Professor of the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures

Friday, December 6

5PM

Bellarmine Diffley Board Room

By inviting the adult audience to emotionally intrude into the (auto)biographical spaces of intimate and public everyday life, this book examines the voices of children and teenagers –‘pibas’ in colloquial Argentine Spanish– in literary and artistic productions, analyzing how feminist narrators strive to articulate their childhood and youthful perspectives of Argentina’s last dictatorship (1976-1983) many years later. Presentation will be in English.

Department of Modern Languages and Literatures Winter Reception will follow in the Great Hall.

Free and open to the public.
