Chinese Princesses and Japanese Geishas: Images of East Asian Women in Hispanic Modernism

March 14, 2016

Tuesday, March 29 from 10:50 a.m. – 12:05 p.m.; Ward Hall Great Room

Dr. Eleanor Fapohunda Colloquium Presented by The School of Arts & Sciences
“Chinese Princesses and Japanese Geishas: Images of East Asian Women in Hispanic Modernism”

The motif of women was elevated to the emblem of beauty in Modernismo and, in particular, women in the exotic world became a real obsession of Modernist artists. This presentation will study the canonical dichotomy of Asian women that dominated the imagination of Hispanic Modernist literature. On one hand, they were imagined as languid and innocent princesses; while on the other, seductive addicts.
