Tania Torres Oyarce
Tania Torres is a MA student in Hispanic Literary and Cultural Studies. Her interests lie in Andean literature and political violence during the internal conflict period (1980-2000) in Peru. She is currently interested in the different strategies feminine subjects use as defense mechanisms against violence for protecting themselves or their beloved ones. She has published papers about the presence of tricksters in the Huarochiri Manuscript, about mourning and mythical time in contemporary Peruvian novels, and about José María Eguren’s poetry.
Óscar Daniel Campo Becerra
ABD in Hispanic Literature. My dissertation focuses on what I called Latin American Unfinished Writings, a series of texts that were incomplete at the time of their authors’ death, but nevertheless were published posthumously and became increasingly relevant for literary history in the second half of the 20th century. I engage with the question about what happens with the production of meaning in writings that displace the narrative closure, and how these unfinished writings keep at work the possibility of political dissensus through the aesthetic anomaly.
