TODAY: Assistant Professor Steve Farrington to Present at Filling Station
Today, Friday, October 18, 12-12:50 p.m., Assistant Professor Steven
Farrington (World Languages and Cultures) will give a Filling Station
Presentation in 8-200. This presentation, which will focus on Luis Cernuda, one
of the most prominent members of the world-famous "Generation of '27" writers
to have emerged from Spain circa 1923-1927. Farrington will address ways in
which Cernuda's status as cultural outsider is reflected in his poetry.
According to Farrington: "Sometimes this took the form of feeling like an
outsider looking in on his family; sometimes, he felt like an outsider as a gay
atheist in heavily conservative and Catholic Spain; in still other moments, his
poetry reflects the sadness of being an exile in both Britain and later in the
US following the Spanish Civil War." The event is free and open to the entire
College community.
