Literature.  Stanford University, 05/12/2018

Dr. Montserrat Lunati retired in October 2016 from the School of Modern Languages, Cardiff University (Wales, UK) as a Reader in Catalan and Spanish Studies. She had been a member of the Department of Hispanic Studies since 1987. Since then, Lunati has been made an Honorary Senior Research Fellow by Cardiff University (Wales, UK), and an Honorary Reader by the University of St Andrews (Scotland, UK). Her research, and her research-orientated teaching, have focused on literature and visual media in contemporary Catalan and Spanish cultures, particularly on women’s production.

This course explores discourses on memory, mourning, and illness through the study of novels, short stories, graphic novels, and films by Catalan women writers and filmmakers. The course favors a historical, interdisciplinary and intertextual approach that facilitates interconnected readings of the texts selected for in-depth analysis. Students will be introduced to theoretical perspectives on narratology, textuality, feminism, memory, as well as theories relevant to each of the three major thematic groups, so that they can engage with the texts under study in an informed and scholarly manner. The exploration of the texts selected allows for some border-crossing between the three groups.
