Together with Sherry Velasco and Natalia Pérez, colleagues at the University of Southern California, Sonia Velázquez hosted four scholars from different disciplines sharing new work on “Sound Politics: Somatics and Semantics in the Early Modern World.” Papers addressed issues such as the representation of Black musicians in Iberian historiographies of the early modern period, competing nationalisms on the urban stage, the apophatic relationship of singing to the novel in the works of Cervantes, and race in the poetry of Sor Juana. Event sponsored by USC's Early Modern Studies Institute.
