Jorge Coronado, Ph.D. Columbia University, Assistant Professor
Jorge Coronado specializes in modern Latin American and Andean literatures and cultures. His courses range across the 19th and 20th centuries and draw from various disciplines and cultural practices, such as history, anthropology, political science, music, film, photography, and literature. His book, entitled The Andes Imagined: Modernity, Society and the Indio in Lettered Discourse in Peru, 1920-40, will be published in the Illuminations Series at University of Pittsburgh Press in 2009. He has written articles on indigenismo, photography, and the avant-garde. He is currently working on two projects: a cultural history of the Cuzco School of Photography, active from 1900 to 1950, and an edited volume on representation and the impoverished in Latin America. At Northwestern, he has been active in building the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Program.
