Visiting Assistant Professor of Hispanic Studies Christine Fernández presented a paper at the Pacific Ancient Modern Language Association (PAMLA) Conference held Nov. 6-8 in Portland, Ore.
“(Un)familiar Spaces and Memories in Dorfman’s Feeding on Dreams (2011)” was presented during a panel on “Immigrant Transitions” in literature. Fernández explored the dynamics of representation of transnational spaces as a constant negotiation between memory and oblivion in Dorfman’s second memoir, as well as the consequential reevaluation of his “alter” Latino identity.
