Ilka Kressner

Associate Professor of Spanish at the University at Albany, SUNY. I am interested in theoretical approaches to conceptions of space in art, intermediality, and ecocriticism in Spanish American literature, film and visual arts (20th-21st centuries). My book Sites of Disquiet: The Non-Space in Spanish American Short Narratives and Their Cinematic Transformations (Purdue UP, 2013) analyzes representations of alternative spaces, among those, sites of deferral, merging perspectives, darkness and emptiness, in Spanish American short narratives and their adaptations to the screen. I have co-edited Walter Benjamin Unbound (2015, Annals of Scholarship Vols. 21:1 and 2; with Alexander Gelley and Michael Levine). My second joint publishing venture, with Ana María Mutis and Elizabeth Pettinaroli is Ecofictions, Ecorealities and Slow Violence in Latin America and the Latinx World (Routledge, 2019). Our edited volume examines the topic of ecological violence, particularly in the context of “slow violence” (Rob Nixon) in Latin American and Latinx writings, films, visual arts and performances.

Carmen Serrano

Carmen Serrano’s body of research focuses on limits and borders. As a scholar of twentieth and twenty-first Latin American and U.S. Latinx literature and culture, she analyzes the ways in which literature and films manifest monstrous and non-normative bodies: the human and the nonhuman, the corporeal and the spectral, and the dead and the undead. She examines how these bodies, either support or undermine social hierarchies. In particular, she analyzes the ways in which the monstrous and the spectral embody fears and anxieties that speak to a specific cultural moment. In addition to her studies on themes of the supernatural and the fantastic, Serrano also writes about the novel of the Mexican Revolution and US Latinx literature.
