Optics as Metaphor:
The Printer at the Far End of the Romance Languages:
A CyberArtist / Feminist / Impostor's Take on Otherness.

Prof. Tina Escaja
Dean's Lecture Award
Memorial Lounge, University of Vermont
March 31, 2010
(Due to a technical failure at the time of the original lecture, Dr. Escaja's lecture was re-taped at the UVM studio)

What does it mean to be a woman then and now, at two turns of the century? What does it mean to be a feminist, a scholar, a brown, thick-accented woman in American academia? Escajas lecture invites you to reflect on the elusive concept of otherness, from fin-de-siècle decadence to technological fallacies of liberation in the new millennium; from death as metaphor of demise to death as opportunity and rebirth for Latin American and Spanish women seeking to reinvent themselves, searching to invert, refract, reconfigure the light of canonical literary tradition.
