| Joseph Mulligan,![]() Please note: Joseph has left the "Romance Studies" group at Duke University; some info here might not be up to date. ?? I am a PhD Candidate in the Spanish and Latin American Studies track of 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.
