Jose
Aparicio
Bellevue, Washington
Jose's research interests include British and American literature with an emphasis on Latinx writers of the 20th-21st century. His dissertation, "Mourning and Heartbreak in the Work of Ana Menéndez, Elías Miguel Muñoz, and Junot Díaz" argues that the characters in these texts understand the impossibility of mourning, turning to more positive engagements with their heartbreak. These characters reject the prevailing attitude of mourning as forgetting and embrace the connections to the past that help shape their identities of in-betweeness, which helps them stay connected to lost objects. This research puts the usual methodologies used in Latinx and ethnic literature in conversation with affect theory, psychoanalysis, and post-structuralism in order to engage how the exile or diasporic contexts—and the heartbreak that arises from that experience—shapes subjectivities and identities and allows the subject to better engage with ethical mourning and thus establish their place in the (new) world.
He just started a tenure track job Bellevue College teaching writing and literature.
