Professor Silvia Bermúdez will lecture on María Zambrano’s interpretation of Antigone as an emblem for women in exile, and how Zambrano’s groundbreaking thoughts about this classical myth relate to contemporary feminisms.
Spanish philosopher María Zambrano (1904-1991) is among the most influential women writers of all times in the Hispanic World. She was an exile of the Spanish Civil War for most of her life, living in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Italy, France, and Switzerland.
Silvia Bermúdez is a Professor of Hispanic literatures and cultures at the University of California Santa Barbara
This event is sponsored by the Department of Modern and Classical Languages and Women And Gender Studies
