Christopher D. Gascón
Christopher D. Gascón, Modern Languages Department, had his article published in a volume on classical Spanish theater from the Golden Age to the 21st century. The essay, titled “Estética Neobarroca en el Teatro Barroco Representado en Nueva York,” demonstrates how numerous productions of classical Spanish plays at New York City’s Repertorio Español incorporate typically Latin American elements, resulting in a theater of “reconquest” or “counter-conquest.” Repertorio’s “New World” approach to “Old World” masterpieces produces innovative stagings and, at times, bold revisions of the works. The volume, published by the Hispanic Seminary of Medieval Studies, is titled El teatro clásico en su(s) cultura(s): de los Siglos de Oro al siglo XXI.
Julie Ficarra
Julie Ficarra, International Programs Office, had her article, “Extending Colonial Critiques Beyond Service Learning in the Global South: The Case of Florence, Italy” published in CAPA: The Global Education Network’s Occasional Publication #9, Empires of the Mind? (Post)Colonialism & Decolonizing Education Abroad. The article draws attention to the idea that unequal relations of power exist between visiting U.S. students and host communities, not only in the global south where students often engage in service learning, but in Europe where students are more often engaged in traditional classroom-based and experiential learning.

Christopher Gascón, Modern Languages Department, presented a paper at the annual conference of the Association for Hispanic Classical Theater (AHCT), held March 3-6 in El Paso, Texas. The paper, “Directors Explore Contemporary Cultural Trauma through Lope’s Fuenteovejuna and El caballero de Olmedo,” considers two recent productions of Spanish Golden Age plays in the light of sociological theories of cultural trauma.
