From May 18th to 20th, she attended the Poetics and Politics of Literary Assemblages: an International Conference (Universidad de Málaga).

This time, she bridged assemblage theory and hauntology by analysing Tracy Fahey’s novella They Shut Me Up and its aging female bodies.

From April 15th to 17th, she traveled to the PLGS International Conference "Female CorpoRealities" (Universidad de Alcalá).

There, she tackled corporality, abjection and queer failure through the analysis of Coralie Fargeat’s acclaimed film The Substance.

Our team member Paula García Rodríguez has been on a roll! 👏Over the past month, Paula has brought her research to two international conferences.

Universities don't need to "teach students to use AI well." The whole point of AI is that it doesn't require any skill. Universities *should* teach students how to write and research on their own, and foster an ethic of shaming people who outsource their basic ability to think.

[Paula García-Rodríguez @paulagarrod]

This is happening right now!!!!

Academia isn't about fame, or money, or approval. It's about downloading as many pdfs as you can before you die

[Paula García-Rodríguez @paulagarrod]

“i hate academia” has 3 conferences and 2 works in progress

[TRANS-FORMATIONS Project @trans_use]

📍Paula García-Rodríguez, at the panel “Aging female body”, argued that They Shut Me Up and The Substance reclaim and reinterpret the ageing female body, as it interrogates how they are rendered invisible within dominant discourses, marking them as socially obsolete.

[Paula García-Rodríguez @paulagarrod]

Looking forward to see you next week!!!

[TRANS-FORMATIONS Project @trans_use]

Next week, members of our project will join the “Trans-scriptions: Cultural Codings and the Poetics of the Body” conference (University of Wroclaw, Poland)!
