Priscilla Gac-Artigas, Ph.D., professor in the department of World Languages and Cultures, presented at the Third International Conference of the Academia Norteamericana de la Lengua Espa\u00f1ola (ANLE)<\/em> on May 20 in commemoration of the 50th<\/sup> anniversary of the institution. The ANLE is one of the 23 Spanish language academies within the Hispanophone world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theme of the conference was \u201cEl espa\u00f1ol, lengua y creaci\u00f3n en los Estados Unidos<\/em>.\u201d<\/em> Gac-Artigas, who is also a Fulbright Scholar and full member of the ANLE and correspondent member of the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE), delivered a paper entitled \u201c<\/em>Mecanismos de colectficci\u00f3n en dos obras de Pablo Garc\u00eda G\u00e1mez y la met\u00e1fora del lenguaje inclusivo m\u00e1s all\u00e1 del aspecto ling\u00fc\u00edstico<\/em><\/a>.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of the paper was to apply the theory of collectfiction* to two plays by Venezuelan playwright, Pablo Garc\u00eda-G\u00e1mez, Olvidadas <\/em>(2019), and Las m\u00e1rtiras<\/em> (2021). It analyzes the effectiveness of the author in using resources displayed in collectfiction works such as the metaphor of theatrum mundi<\/em>, the mise en abyme, and the language as a manifestation of the biblical expression \u201cthe word became flesh…\u201d to establish a transgressive reading pact that will promote the reconfiguration of the story as a collective experience. Through the use of those resources, in both plays the author achieves the \u201cdeindividualization\u201d of the internal conflicts of the characters, members of a marginalized population within the LGBTIQ+ community, to give them a collective and political dimension. In both plays, Garc\u00eda-G\u00e1mez bets on the power of an inclusive language emerging from reality to vindicate their existence within a hostile society that fights to rip them from their rights and make them disappear. And, whether it pertains to a specific group, such as the LGBTIQ+ community, as in the case of the two plays by Garc\u00eda-G\u00e1mez, or an entire generational collective, this process holds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to her paper, Gac-Artigas was the chair of the panel \u201cOr\u00edgenes, historia y permanencia del espa\u00f1ol en los Estados Unidos.\u201d <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Collectfiction, a term she coined in 2017 to describe literary texts in which the authors propose to the readers a work of fiction that unfolds recognizable (auto)biographical, cultural, historical, and socio-political references either within the text and\/or the paratexts, and, through experimentation with specific narrative, dialogic, or structural resources, they invite the readers to engage in a proactive reading and participate creatively in the reconfiguration of the story proposed. This reconfiguration of the story fosters the collectfiction of a historic period or collectivity in its temporal-spatial dimension.
