Jordan will focus on the central role that paper maps have played in charting a path of research over the past thirty-five years of her academic life. These maps helped Jordan find her way in unfamiliar cities\, and also helped her craft in-depth archival research projects resulting in a dissertation\, three books\, and many other publications\, on topics ranging from memory and forgetting in post-1989 Berlin\, to the rise and fall of Wisconsin’s 19th century hop industry. \n51ÁÔĆć’s Academic Adventurers is a continuing series of informal afternoon programs held in the American Geographical Society Library on the third floor in the east wing of the Golda Meir Library\, offering members of the 51ÁÔĆć community the opportunity to hear of their colleagues’ adventures abroad and afield. \n\nAll programs are free and open to the public. For more information or to arrange for special accommodations\, email agsl@uwm.edu or call 414-229-6282. \nDr. Jennifer Jordan\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:/libraries/event/academic-adventurers-lecture-series/ LOCATION:American Geographical Society Library\, Golda Meir Library\, 2311 E.

Along with his 1925 review\, he also translated the last two pages of the novel\, Molly Bloom’s sensation-creating\, stream-of-consciousness monologue. Perhaps starstruck by the legendary pairing of two of the twentieth century’s most influential authors\, many scholars have taken his claim as indisputable evidence that Borges single-handedly introduced Joyce to Latin America\, and of the enduring impact of his translation. This talk will reveal that the true story of Joyce’s introduction to Spanish language readers is both more complex and more interesting than the one traditionally told. \nDr. Leah Leone Anderson is a visiting scholar with 51ÁÔĆć’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. Her book\, Borges’s Creative Infidelities: Translating Joyce\, Woolf and Faulkner (2024) was made possible with the Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies’ support. Her current research focuses on the work of Argentine critic\, translator\, and memoirist MarĂ­a Rosa Oliver (1898-1977). \nThe LACUSL Speaker Series is free and open to the public. No registration is required.
