Professor of Hispano-American Literature, University of South Florida

NOTE: This presentation is in Spanish. En español.
Madeline Cámara is professor of Hispano-American literature in the World Language Education Department of the University of South Florida in Tampa. She received degrees from the University of Havana and the Colegio de México and a PhD from the State University of New York en Stony Brook. The recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship in 2001, Dr. Cámara is the author of several books La letra rebelde: estudios de escritoras cubanas (Miami: Ediciones Universal, 2002). In her presentation, Dr. Cámara explores the concept of “poetic consciousness” that the Spanish philosopher María Zambrano proposes to characterize the way in which Lydia Cabrera’s writing approaches the African roots of Cuban culture. Cámara maintains that research and poetry are inseperable in the work of Lydia Cabrera and proposes that Cabrera can also be studied as a pioneer of postmodern ethnography.
This presentation forms part of the University of Miami’s Cuban Heritage Collection Scholars Series. Every year, scholars from our University and other institutions around the world conduct in-depth research using the extensive holdings of the Cuban Heritage Collection (CHC). The CHC is sponsoring presentations by these scholars to highlight their work and emphasize the ways in which the CHC’s research collection support today’s scholarship in Cuban and Latin American studies.
