Project

I will be working on my thesis, which is a Lacanian theory of plotted vs. essayistic writing through the prism of the sinthôme, and on a coming-of-age novel set in 1970s Uruguay and Argentina, against the backdrop of the Tupamaros' resistance struggle. I also expect to edit and submit some poems while I am there.
