The Culture, Gender, and Aesthetics Research Focus Group announces “Ornament III,” its third and final graduate student colloquium of the year. Ph.D. candidate Emily Davis will present “Rewriting the Colonial Romance: Ahdaf Soueif, Nayantara Sahgal, and the New White Woman,” an essay that analyzes the transformation of colonial romance in novels by Ahdaf Soueif and Nayantara Sahgal. Ph.D. candidate Jacob Berman will discuss “Poe’s Arabesque Interior: Nativity, Nation and the Construction of Arab-ness.” The paper will work with Poe’s tales of domestic terror to explore the connection between the 19th Century. The presentations will be followed by a question and answer session.
