Profile
Rachel Price (B.A., Yale; Ph.D., Duke U.), works on Latin American,
circum-Atlantic and particularly Cuban literature and culture; media
and literature; and comparative imperialisms. She is currently
completing a book tentatively entitled “The Object of the Atlantic,”
about the emergence of a post-romantic aesthetics of concretude in
Brazil, Cuba, and Spain in the wake of changes in empire and
capitalism in the 1890s. She has published articles on José Martí’s
haunting of Cuban Republican literature; on concrete and post-concrete
art and poetry in Brazil; and on Spanish emblem books’ connection to
empire. She is beginning two new projects on affect and slavery in
19th century Cuban literature, and a genealogy of new media art and
poetry in Brazil since 1968.
