5th BABEL PUBLIC LECTURE SERIES
Dr Mel Boland:
Contact and Conflict Zones: Reading Gesture in the short fiction of Isabel Allende
How do we read gesture in literature? This lecture looks at how we read and interpret the description of gestures, using selected short stories from Chilean author Isabel Allende in Spanish and English.
The Babel Lectures is an initiative of the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures, NUI Galway, which intends to reinforce the connection with Galway through an annual series of lectures especially designed to promote creative exchange and dialogues between academics and the community.
Entrance is free, and everybody is welcome.
