This talk, prresented by Dr. Sergio Delgado Moya of Harvard University, Romance Language & Literature Department, grapples with borders as both landscapes and stages, as backgrounds against which our symbolic knowledge of migrants and migration take shape. It focuses on a long tradition in Latin American and Latinx artists and writers who subvert picturesque notions of landscape in favor of more nuanced, historically informed, politically incisive renditions of the environment.
