About
Carlos Varón González is an Assistant Professor at the University of California, Riverside. He co-edited
Shining Signs of the Day: Senses and Spaces in Transatlantic Studies (2019) and
Wall to Wall: Law as Culture in Latin America and Spain. His first book,
La retirada del poema: Literatura hispánica e imaginación política moderna, addresses post-dictatorial ideas about poetry in Spain and Latin America (2020). This essay is part of a larger project, concerning affective practices and political struggle in Peninsular culture, tentatively entitled “I Feel Your Pain: The Political Mobilization of Affect”. Concurrently, he is working on Rubén Darío’s work and reception as an equivocal signifier of modernity in transatlantic literary culture. Email:
