| Joseph Mulligan, Postdoctoral Associate![]() ?? I am a Postdoctoral Associate in the Romance Studies department. My research focuses on literature and politics in vernacular print cultures of Peru, Bolivia, Mexico, and Spain during the 19th and 20th centuries. I study the history of education reform, the critique of liberalism, and the rise of regionalism as a response to the marginalization of the indigenous majority by the urban lettered elite. I am guided by the sociology of literature and post-Marxist philosophy as I approach questions of literacy, race, and post-secular spirituality, concentrating on practices of cultural mediation. My dissertation, Poetics of Revelation: Communities of the Literary Oracular in Transatlantic Modernism (1939-1979), evaluates the distinction of visionary poetry and the philosophy of myth in comparative case studies on María Zambrano, Octavio Paz, and Jaime Saenz.
