My first book, _Le Corps mondialise': Marie Redonnet, Maryse Conde, Assia Djebar_ (Paris: L'Harmattan, 2007) deals with the impact of the globalization of the media on the female body in Francophone literatures from France, the Caribbean, and the Maghreb. (Book and e-book available at link provided below + fnac.com + amazon.fr) My second research project analyzes diverse case studies in the Francophone world that redefine Francophone Postcolonial theory. Issues covered include: 1/ Accident and postcolonial subjectivity in Maryse Conde's detective fiction, 2/ Occidentalism in Marjane Satrapi's graphic memoir _Persepolis_, 3/ The veil affair in Quebec, etc. More to come!

Fall-Spring 2011-2012: I am in Madrid serving as Director of the Wesleyan study abroad program. I will use my Wesleyan email address throughout (marmstrong@wesleyan.edu).

Research Interests:
My recent scholarship has been focused primarily on what are often called Cervantes's "other works," those relatively neglected novels (La Galatea, Persiles), novellas, and plays that tend to get overlooked in the long shadow cast by Don Quijote. A book called Cervantes' Epic Novel: Empire, Religion, and the Dream Life of Heroes in 'Persiles' (U of Toronto P, 2009) reads Cervantes's final novel in several contexts: it links Persiles's narrative art to the major political, religious, social, and literary debates of late 16th- and early 17th-century Spain, as well as to the verse and prose epic traditions represented primarily by Homer, Vergil, Heliodorus, and Tasso. In that book I set out to show that Persiles is epic not only in its formal and ideological ambition but also in its aspiration to embrace all of the author himself--including the overriding desire to entertain. For several years now I have been at work on a book provisionally entitled Cervantes Plays: Ironies of History on the Early Modern Stage. It takes a close look at Cervantes's full-length plays and their imaginative, often experimental, and still-compelling dramatic engagement with key historical debates about Habsburg political mythmaking, Algerian captivity, the gypsy community, the rise of the commercial stage, marriage choice, and women's work. This book has emerged from the Theater Without Borders research collaborative, a group committed to exploring the international and comparative impact of early modern drama, especially--but not exclusively--of England, Spain, Italy, and France (see our website at www.nyu.edu/projects/theaterwithoutborders/index.html). Earlier I was contributing author to the scholarly catalogue that accompanied an exhibition I helped organize called Goya and the Spirit of Enlightenment, which could be seen at the Prado, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the Metropolitan Museum in NYC (1988-1989). Throughout, I have tried to practice a kind of scholarship that moves fluidly from text to context and back again (reading the text with and against the pressures of the moment and then reading that moment through the lens of the text); that draws on close reading in multiple disciplines (history of literature and art, comparative literature, genre theory, political, social, and economic history, history of ideas and philosophy, theology and religious history, and jurisprudence); and that is informed by textual, historical, and theoretical approaches to literature. Finally, I have looked for ways to bring my scholarly interests to a wider audience, serving--for instance--as general editor of three Let's Go travel guides (Let's Go France 1986, Let's Go California and the Pacific Northwest 1986, and Let's Go Spain & Portugal 1992).

Scholarly Keywords:
Cervantes; Spanish classical theater; Spanish and Latin American poetry; medieval and early modern Spanish literature and history (including Latin American colonial, transatlantic, and global perspectives); comparative literature and history (classical, medieval, and early modern European primarily); 16th- and 17th-century New World conquest texts (chronicle and history, jurisprudence, ethnography); Goya

Research Interests:
Prison Terms (U of Toronto P, 2001, winner of the Howard R. Marraro Prize from the Modern Language Association) concerned the spaces of confinement in Italian narrative between the years 1930 and 1960. Murder Made in Italy: Homicide, Media, and Contemporary Italian Culture (U of Indiana P, 2012) concerns the cultural significance of three post-1989 murder cases. These cases include the serial murders attributed to the "Monster of Florence," the matricide and fratricide case for which Erika De Nardo and Omar F`varo were convicted, and the conviction of Annamaria Franzoni for the murder of her three-year old son Samuele. Body of State: The Moro Affair, A Nation Divided (Fairleigh-Dickinson U P, 2011), a collaboration with two other colleagues, offers a translation of Marco Baliani's acclaimed dramatic monologue about the kidnapping and assassination of former Italian prime minister Aldo Moro, setting it in the context of critical edition including an introduction, an interview with the artist, and an appendix of reviews of Baliani's 2009 North American tour
