2017 Iris Marion Young Distinguished Faculty Lecture
Daisy Delogu
Professor of French
Chair, Dept. of Romance Languages & Literatures"Allegory Today"
What is allegory, and why should we care about it? From our alma maters to lady liberty, allegorical figures are all around us, though we rarely think about them, or the power they exert over the imaginary. In my talk I will discuss the practice of allegory in the medieval literature that I know best, the relationship of allegory to gender, the power that allegorical thinking wields in the world today, as well as the potential for resistance that it offers.
