Victor Goldgel-Carballo

Assistant Professor, Ph.D., University of California - Berkeley.

Professor Goldgel-Carballo specializes in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Latin American literature, with an emphasis on material culture and media history.

He has published articles on the concept of mimesis in the early-nineteenth-century Hispanic Atlantic, on the emergence of fashion in the Rio de la Plata region during the 1830s, and on the relationship between ambiguity and justice in the work of Juan Rulfo, among other topics.

He is currently working on a book manuscript entitled The Experience of the New, which analyzes the impact of "old" new media upon Latin American culture during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
