Iliana Alcántar specializes on Mexican literary and cultural studies. Her
current research and developing book manuscript deal with revisions of
gender and representation in contemporary Mexican literature, film, and
performance art. Using literature as a point of departure, she
demonstrates how women’s writing and feminism provide mechanisms that
subsequently afford women possibilities for self-representation in film
and performance art, allowing them to articulate a critique of
patriarchy, nationalism, and modernity.
