This session will focus on “locas mujeres” as a text that deconstructs the opposition reason/madness, by connecting its poetics with the contemporary feminist political imaginary and its aesthetics of the body.

Presented by the Kellogg Institute for International Studies with cosponsorship by the Nanovic Institute for European Studies, the Center for the Study of Languages and Cultures, Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts (ISLA), and the Gender Studies Program at the University of Notre Dame.
