CHAT Fellow Presentation with Omid Bagherli, 2/12
48 Professors Row
The Center for the Humanities at Tufts invites the Tufts community to join us on February 12 for a special presentation by Dissertation Fellow Omid Bagherli, entitled "Contemporary Literature's Dispute with the Archive."
Omid Bagherli is a PhD Candidate in the department of English at Tufts University. His dissertation, “Lost Histories: Contemporary Literature’s Dispute with the Archive,” studies how, from the late-twentieth century to the present moment, writers and filmmakers have incorporated archival documents into their work to complicate narratives of social reclamation. More generally, he is interested in the literary dimension of historical transmission and recovery, as well as the use of psychoanalytic theory in social and cultural analysis. His work has appeared or is forthcoming in ASAP/J, Chicago Review, Postmodern Culture, C21 Literature, and Annulet.
All are welcome. Refreshments will be served. For questions, contact: humanities@tufts.edu.
