A Lecture by Professor Luis Martín-Cabrera
University of California, San Diego


Professor Luis Martín-Cabrera is Associate Professor of Peninsular and Latin American Literature and Culture at the University of California, San Diego. He is interested in a renovated view of marxism and psychoanalysis as a theoretical matrix to address the politics of memory in Spain and Latin America and the convoluted relationships between market, culture and State. He also works on the development of an intersectional analysis (the asymmetrical relationship between race, gender, class, and sexuality) as a tool to rethink labor history and the global struggles against the expansion of capitalism. He is the author of the book, Radical Justice: Spain and the Southern Cone beyond Market and State (Bucknell UP), which is an analysis of dictatorial regimes on both sides of the Atlantic and uses detective fiction and political documentaries as a privileged terrain to interrogate the relationship between memory and justice in these regions. In addition, Professor Martin-Cabrera is the Director of The Spanish Civil War Memory Project, a UCSD initiative to collect testimonies of survivors from The Spanish Civil War.
