A new session of the Literary Criticism Workshop will take place on Friday, 20 March at 12:00 in Room B3.2 at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Zaragoza.
The session, titled “Autotheory and Kate Zambreno’s short story: Insekt or Large Verminous Thing,” will be led by Rubén Peinado Abarrio.
This workshop series provides a collaborative space where students and researchers can engage with different approaches to literary theory and criticism through the discussion of specific texts. In this session, participants will explore the concept of autotheory through the work of contemporary writer and critic Kate Zambreno, whose experimental writing often blurs the boundaries between literary criticism, personal narrative, and creative practice.
The discussion will focus on Zambreno’s short story Insekt or Large Verminous Thing, examining how autotheoretical writing challenges conventional distinctions between scholarship and personal reflection while opening new possibilities for literary analysis.
The Literary Criticism Workshop aims to foster a dynamic and welcoming environment for discussing literature and critical theory.
