Calderón’s El médico de su honra: A Cubist Reading
No full textEl médico de su honra de Calderón de la Barca es una obra fracturada que, en la famosa locución de Stanley Fish, siempre ha permanecido “recalcitrant to interpretation.” Mientras que Gutierre puede ser el protagonista torturado de un drama de honor que enfrenta su amor por su esposa contra las demandas de su honor, El médico no es la obra de Gutierre. El médico es la obra del rey. Este monarca, sin embargo, es en si un personaje fracturado, una figura dramática e histórica conocida como “Pedro el Cruel” y como “Pedro el Justiciero.” Pero el rey que vemos paseándose por el palacio, un rey que entabla combate con los rufianes de la calle, encarcela a los malhechores y logra controlar a la nobleza andaluza, está muy lejos del rey que vemos en el mundo de la obra dramática, un rey impotente que es consciente de estar proyectando el poder que puede que no tenga. Dado que la obra dramática como texto y el mundo de la obra dramática ofrecen dos perspectivas diferentes de la monarquía que no pueden reconciliarse ni racionalizarse en un todo coherente, quizá sea hora de someter a El médico a una lectura cubista, una que llevará estos dos marcos de referencia distintos y a menudo contradictorios al primer plano y les permitirá existir independientemente uno del otro en el mismo plano interpretativo. Tal vez sea hora de pensar en El médico ni como poesía ni como drama sino como lo que el crítico cubista Guillaume Apollinaire ha llamado un “art of conception” que apela no al ojo sino al intelecto, an “art of conception” que hace que una comprensión de la autoridad real sea tan fracturada como la propia obra.
Calderón de la Barca’s El médico de su honra is a fractured play that, in Stanley Fish’s famous locution, has always remained “recalcitrant to interpretation.” While Gutierre may be the tortured protagonist of a wife-murder play that pits his love for his wife against the demands of his honor, El médico is not Gutierre’s play. El médico is the king’s play. This monarch, however, is himself a fractured character, a dramatic and an historical figure known both as “Peter the Cruel” and as “Peter the Just.” But the king we see strutting through the palace, a king who tilts with street ruffians, imprisons miscreants, and brings the Andalusian nobility to heel, is a far cry from the king we see in the world of the play, an impotent king who is aware that he is projecting power he may not have. Given that the play as text and the world of the play offer two different perspectives of monarchy that can neither be reconciled nor rationalized into a coherent whole, perhaps it is time to subject El médico to a Cubist reading, one that will bring these two distinct and often contradictory frames of reference to the foreground and allow them to exist independently of each other on the same interpretive plane. Perhaps it is time to think of El médico neither as poetry nor as drama but as what the Cubist critic Guillaume Apollinaire has called an “art of conception” that appeals not to the eye but to the intellect, an “art of conception” that renders an understanding of royal authority as fractured as the play itself

Dance, Performance, and Interdisciplinary Study at the Bates Dance Festival, Jacob\u27s Pillow ChoreoTech Lab, and David Dorfman Dance

Minor History – NextDoor Design & Manufacturing: Creative Marketing Intern for an NYC-based leather bag company.
No full textOver this past summer, I had the opportunity to work as a creative marketing intern for Minor History– a small, NYC based bag company. As the only intern in the company of approximately 9 people, my work experience was incredibly unique–both rewarding, and challenging. With my architectural studies major and liberal arts education, I felt very prepared for the internship. I believe that architectural studies is an incredibly well rounded major; the study epitomizes the liberal arts education. You acquire an interdisciplinary understanding of people, psychology, design, the environment, history/art history, and your place in the world. Through architecture, you learn how to translate abstract concepts into a functional reality. This foundation of learning makes the architectural studies major essentially applicable to any design oriented career. My biggest takeaway is that while I really enjoy the creative work I was doing at Minor History, in the future I hope to work for a company that helps various brands form their visual identity, rather than work for a company that is trying to find an identity
My Experience as a NonProfit Intern and Athletic Play Coach
No full textThis summer, I completed two internships that provided contrasting experiences and valuable lessons in my professional growth. Initially, I worked as an Event Hospitality Assistant and Volunteer Coordinator at Copper Beech Institute, an organization focused on mindfulness education. While I had hoped to gain insights into mindfulness and yoga classes, my role was largely logistical and did not align with my learning objectives. Despite challenges with time management, communication, and work environment stress, I developed patience, adaptability, and organizational skills. After leaving Copper Beech, I joined KidStrong, where I thrived as a coach in an athletic program for children, teaching emotional regulation and physical education. This experience exceeded my expectations, building my leadership skills and reaffirming my desire to work with children and teens. Reflecting on these experiences, I gained clarity on the type of work environment that suits me best and grew more confident in my ability to advocate for myself
Blueprint LSAT Preparatory Course
No full textThe summer following my junior year, I utilized the Career Action Program funding to enroll in an LSAT prep course through Blueprint Test Preparation. I learned strategies and approaches that I definitely would not have utilized or considered if I had been preparing on my own, and I don\u27t think I could have achieved the level of improvement that I did if I had not taken the course. Ultimately, though it was not my plan to use my Career Action funding for LSAT prep, I think it ended up being an incredibly beneficial experience for me
