Marina Bedran is an assistant professor of Spanish and Portuguese. She works on literature, visual culture, media studies, ecocriticism, and the environmental humanities. Her current book project is an interdisciplinary study of the artistic turn to Amazonia in postwar Brazil. The book examines the work of Brazilian and Brazil-based artists between the 1950s and the late 1980s, showing how they experimented with innovative aesthetic forms that heed Amazonia and, in so doing, articulated a critique of developmentalism and proposed new ways of thinking about indigeneity, the environment, and the more-than-human.<\/p>\r\n
Her first book, A aventura do estilo: ensaios e correspond\u00eancia de Henry James e Robert Louis Stevenson<\/em>, is an examination of the correspondence between Henry James and Robert Louis Stevenson, which she translated into Portuguese. It was published in Brazil with Editora Rocco in 2017 and shows how this unlikely dialogue impacted their poetics and modern literature more broadly.<\/p>\r\n She received her Ph.D. in Spanish and Portuguese from Princeton University, where she was awarded a Lassen Fellowship from the Program in Latin American Studies \u2013 PLAS (2014\u201315) and a Dissertation Fellowship from the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies \u00ad\u2013 PIIRS (2019\u201320). She also has a master\u2019s degree in Literary Theory and Comparative Literature from the University of S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 USP.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n She co-edits Revista Rosa<\/a>, a Brazilian online magazine, and serves on the editorial board of the Edinburgh Critical Studies in Atlantic Literatures and Cultures<\/a>\u00a0at Edinburgh University Press.\u00a0<\/p>"],"ecpt_teaching":[" GRADUATE COURSES<\/p>\r\n UNDERGRADUATE COURSES<\/p>\r\n Publications<\/strong><\/p>\r\n \u201cProjetando a Amaz\u00f4nia: desenvolvimentismo e ecologia no cinema experimental brasileiro dos anos 1970,\u201d Ant\u00edtesis<\/em>, v. 16, n. 31, June 2023, pp. 58\u201381. \u00a0https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5433\/1984-3356.2023v16n31p172-201<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n \u201cArt of the Counter-Archive: Ros\u00e2ngela Renno\u0301\u2019s Books and the Secret Files of the Dictatorship,\u201d ARTMargins<\/em>, 12.1, February 2023. https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1162\/artm_a_00336<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n \u201cBeyond the Confines of Classed Spaces: Mutual Care, Interdependency, and Feminist Filmmaking,\u201d Radical Equalities and Global Feminist Filmmaking: An Anthology<\/em>, eds.
