Biography / Academic Interests
:
Felipe Martínez-Pinzón is a native of Bogotá, in the Colombian Andes, but his family is originally from Cartagena, on the Caribbean Coast. His research focuses on the uneasy pairing of nation-building discourses and the representation of tropical nature during the 19th and 20th centuries in Latin America. Before coming to CSI, he taught Spanish language and Latin American Literature at New York University and has been a visiting professor at the Universidad de los Andes.
Scholarship / Publications
:
Professor Martínez-Pinzón has written on the intersections between geography, politics and literature in the works of Francisco José de Caldas, on the botanical drawings of Francisco Javier Matís, the poetry of Candelario Obeso, the travelogues of José María Samper, and the fiction of J.A Silva and J.E Rivera. He is preparing his first book on the representation of tropical nature in 19th and early 20th century Colombia. He has turned more recently to analyzing the spatial imagination embedded in the Latin American war memoir. He belongs to the collective of cultural critics Crítica Latinoamericana. Martínez-Pinzón has also published two books of poetry
