Angela Flury

Angela Flury received her Ph.D. in comparative literature, with designated emphases in critical theory and gender studies, from the University of California , Davis . Her article “Women in Pink,” co-authored with Dr. Susan Kaiser, recently appeared (translated into German) in Zeitschrift für Semiotik , in the fall issue “The Semiotics of Clothing.” Like her dissertation, the article explores the nostalgia for the 1950s through a pink lens by focussing on intersections of gender and race.

Angela is currently translating a selection from Christa Wolf's Ein Tag im Jahr , which is forthcoming in the PMLA under the rubric “Criticism in Translation.” Her scholarly interests include representations of the artist, both literary and visual, from the early 19 th century to the present, translation studies, and visual studies. At DePauw she teaches writing and introductory literature courses, a special topics course "Literature and the Visual Arts," and an upper-division seminar titled "Representations of the Artist." And she is currently developing a course that traces the ever complicated relationship of women to fashion in the works of writers like Flaubert, Veblen, Dreiser, Larsen, Wharton, and Acker.
