Current Projects
Dr. Moody is at work on a book titled Las Raras: Gendered Aesthetics, Women's Writing, and Intellectual Networks in Spanish-American Modernismo. It examines ideas of femininity that were both fundamental to modernism’s formation and exclusionary towards women’s active participation in the movement as writers and authors. Her study helps to explain why modernismo admitted no women writers unconditionally. The project explores the formation of the modernista rhetoric of femininity, and goes on to consider women writers’ strategies to find literary success in spite of the movement’s exclusionary rhetorical systems, such as by attacking them directly or by circulating their work outside the movement’s systems of prestige and authority.
She is also working with Mónica González García (Universidad de Talca) and Astrid Santana Fernández de Castro (Universidad de La Habana) on an edited volume, Heroicidades: El lugar de las utopías del siglo XIX a nuestros días. Click below for the call for papers, open until May 26, 2017.
