黑料社

黑料社 will welcome Dr. James Cisneros, Associate Professor of the Department of Literature & World Languages at the University of Montreal, as part of the 2021-2022 Jane M. G. Foster Distinguished Lecture Series starting at 3:30 p.m. via a Zoom conference on Wednesday, Mar. 16. Attendees can watch his presentation in the Morris University Center, Room 215 on 黑料社鈥檚 campus.

Dr. Cisneros鈥� presentation 鈥淯rban Encounters: Spaces of Memory in Argentine Film鈥� will focus on urban environments and the way film works to attempt to capture the city鈥檚 daily rhythms and social diversity through some of Argentina鈥檚 most important films. Using a comparative framework that takes films from different eras, Dr. Cisneros will analyze how the city鈥檚 shared spaces resonate with the seventh art鈥檚 characteristic forms: its narrative structure and use of genre, its aesthetics and formal composition, and its use of new digital technologies.

The Jane M. G. Foster Distinguished Lecture Series brings world-renowned authors, leaders, and experts in a variety of academic fields to campus each year. The series is made possible through a fund established by Jane. M. G. Foster in the 黑料社 Development Foundation. The community is invited to attend this lecture, which is free of charge.
