SUMMARY:2026 Distinguished Alumni Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Note: This event is RSVP only \nPlease join us in honoring the 2026 UCLA Spanish & Portuguese Distinguished Alumni Lecture Award recipient Dr. Claudia Mesa Higuera\, Professor of Spanish at Moravian University. \nThe 2026 Distinguished Alumni Lecture topic is “Castillo Solórzano\, Rubens\, and a Theater on Brushstrokes.” Soon after the famous battle of Nördlingen (1634)\, the Spanish novelist Alonso de Castillo Solórzano published a panegyric play to commemorate the triumph of the imperial army led by the Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand of Spain and the King of Hungary over the Swedish and German armies commanded respectively by Gustav Horn and the duke of Saxe-Weimar. Around the same time\, the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens completed a series of paintings and engravings on the topic of love and war that allows a comparison of the two artists. This lecture examines the characterization of historical and fictional characters involved in this decisive battle of the Thirty Years’ War to suggest that such characterization is informed by a figurative tradition that reveals a shared ethos between the Spanish playwright and the Flemish painter at a time in which artistic expression seeks to extol state ideology while simultaneously subverting it. \nThe UCLA Spanish & Portuguese Department will host the Distinguished Alumni lecture on Thursday\, February 5\, 2026 at 4:00 PM at the UCLA University Club. The lecture will be held in the Hacienda Room. RSVP Only.

SUMMARY:El gesto y la razón: La teoría de los medios de Simón Rodríguez
DESCRIPTION:El pensador sudamericano Simón Rodríguez (1769-1854)\, recordado como maestro de Simón Bolívar\, desarrolló en su obra un proyecto pedagógico y político para fundar las nuevas repúblicas sudamericanas. Para presentarla\, utilizó singulares composiciones tipográficas que configuran un modo alternativo de escritura. Esta charla explora la imbricación entre educación\, republicanismo y experimentación escritural\, y sus implicaciones teóricas. Se muestra que la obra de Rodríguez contiene una reflexión sobre cómo los objetos\, los cuerpos\, las exteriorizaciones técnicas y sus propiedades mediales le dan forma al sujeto y la comunidad política\, revelando así la manera en que una compleja teoría de los medios sustenta su proyecto republicano. \nJuan Pablo Lupi es Associate Professor en el Departamento de Español y Portugués de la Universidad de California Santa Barbara. Es autor de Reading Anew: José Lezama Lima’s Rhetorical Investigations\, y coeditor de los volúmenes Asedios a lo increado: Nuevas perspectivas sobre Lezama Lima (junto a Marta Hernández Salván y Jorge Marturano)\, y La futuridad del naufragio: Orígenes\, estelas y derivas (junto a César A. Salgado).
