The Laboratory of Narrative Research (LNR) is a teaching and research unit that is part of the School of English at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. It has been designed to bring together scholars and researchers from across the humanities, the social sciences and other scientific fields who have a special interest in the workings and the politics of narrative production.
Lab Director: Dr Effie Yiannopoulou
Tino Villanueva
The Laboratory of Narrative Research is proud to welcome the acclaimed poet Tino Villanueva who will read a selection of his poems. Winner of the 1994 American Book Award, a painter and an avid reader of literature with a long and distinguished career at academic teaching, Villanueva explores some of the most treacherous rites to self-formation. His poetics transcend the political rhetoric of Chicanismo and often enter the darker alleys of individuation. Tino Villanueva will read his poems, comment on the intersections between art and mundane experience, and respond to questions on the narrative element(s) of his poetic expression.
The event will take place on the 18th of December, Room 308 (upstairs) between 17:00 and 18:00.
Please note that there is a limit of 25 participants attending.
In order to register, please contact the event coordinator, Dr. Sophia Emmanouilidou (semma@enl.auth.gr), by Friday the 15th of December.
