Reyns discusses how the key Canadian concept of the “two solitudes” (Hugh MacLennan, 1945), though it may be outdated in literature today, it's still useful in the world of comics. Although there are more bridges between the English and French traditions, and also with other cultural traditions now recognized both within Canada (aboriginal, other Canadian minorities) and abroad (Japan, Korea, etc.), these have long remained distinct from one another.

Speaker: Verónica Tartabini

Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) recovered the legacy of sixteenth-century Castilian mysticism of Teresa of Jesus and John of the Cross. Horrified by the atomic bomb, Salvador turned to Discalced Carmelite mysticism seeking an alternative knowledge to technical and warlike destruction. As a Stirling Maxwell fellow at the University of Glasgow, our aim is to not only address Dalí's affiliation to the mystical tradition of the Siglo de Oro, but also his link with the emblematic tradition of the Italian Renaissance.

Categories: Public lectures
Venue: TalkLab (University of Glasgow Library, level 3) + Zoom (see below)
Speaker: Jorge Català-Carrasco (Newcastle University). Respondent: Guillem Colom-Montero (Stirling Maxwell Centre)

Jorge Català-Carrasco proposes a transnational post-WWII memory reading through comics, a cultural production that, from the margins of canonical culture, allows us to study the lived experience and the grounds on which the transformations of societies are worked. The talk will focus on gendered readings, especially from late-twentieth century Argentina, Spain, and Peru, exploring how feminism made its way into comics. Focusing first on Mafalda (by Quino), we will then move onto two graphic pioneers in Spain and Peru: Núria Pompeia and Marisa Godínez, respectively. Respondent: Guillem Colom-Montero (Stirling Maxwell Centre) In-person and online event.
