930 Schermerhorn Hall, 1180 Amsterdam Ave, New York, NY 10027

A talk by Dr. Nikolas Kakkoufa (Columbia University)

The talk traces how the process of identity building and uncovering of sexual selves registers on the homosexual body. What types of bodies are produced and constructed through Cavafy’s poetry? Does Cavafy’s work constitute a rupture in the model of queer writing about the body of the 19th and 20th century?

Organized by the Program in Hellenic Studies of Columbia University and The Consulate General of Greece in New York
