Research Interests:

Professor González's research focuses on the intersection between literary and other modes of social performance (such as religious rituals and festivals). He is particularly interested in the ways ‘literary performance’ (poetry and prose) serves the symbolic articulation of culture; and in the dialectic that obtains between the performer, his work, and his larger cultural matrix.
