Overview
Arturo Ruiz Mautino is a PhD Candidate in Spanish. His dissertation studies the emergence of posthumanist ways of thinking about the works of memory in contemporary Latin American fiction. Drawing from memory studies, fiction theory, animal studies, and critical posthumanities, his dissertation proposes a transregional genealogy delving into contemporary literary production from Mexico, the Andean region, and the Southern Cone. His most recent publications deal with philosophy of technology, Iberian Medieval poetics, and 20th century Mexican literary realism. He received his BA and licenciatura from Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú and his MA from Cornell University.
