Sarah Moody

Sarah Moody is Associate Professor of Spanish at the University of Alabama, where she also directs the Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx Studies program. She earned the Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley. Her research examines Modernismo and women’s writing in Latin American literature of the 19th and early 20th centuries, especially focusing on the relationship between aesthetic systems and identity formulations like gender or nationalism. She is also interested in Brazil’s relationship to the rest of Latin America, and in literary and journalistic responses to city modernization and to European modernity. One of her current projects delves into the nineteenth-century archives of Cuba.
Address: Tuscaloosa, Alabama, United States

La cienaga (The Swamp, 2001), su primer largometraje, gira alrededor de dos familias a punto de desmoronarse en el calor del verano de Salta, provincia fronteriza con Bolivia de la cual proviene la cineasta. En 2004 su renombre se confirmo con La nina santa (The Holy Girl), pelicula que narra la busqueda sexual-religiosa de unas adolescentes que navegan los misterios de un hotel provincial. Entre un festival de cine en Corea y otro en San Francisco, Lucrecia paso una semana en Berkeley. Concedio muy gentilmente una entrevista a Lucero el viernes 15 de abril. Los dos entrevistadores son fitns de su obra, pero salteemos los elogios para irnos ya a grano.

The archival rescue and analysis add nuance to critical discourse surrounding the urban reforms of Rio de Janeiro and the widespread triumphalism that Pederneiras critiqued. His aesthetically subtle and carefully structured chronicles point to city change as a painful reshaping of individual and community identity that lingers in memory. Gender in particular emerges as a system in radical ux due to mayor Pereira Passos’s remodeling of urban space.
