Unfolding memories of a collective history

Griselda Zuffi is a Full Professor in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures at Hood College, Maryland. Her research focuses on post dictatorship testimonial narratives of the Southern Cone that denounce the effects of authoritarian discourses. She has done extensive research on topics such as discursive representations of Peronism through fiction, the uses of history in Chilean women writers of the XIX and XX century, and the relationship of human rights groups, journalists and women writers to the government. She has presented papers at many national and international conferences on questions of border culture, identity, testimony and postmodern biographies.
