This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 50.0.205.237 (talk) at 03:18, 9 September 2014 (→‎Books: cite a couple more book reviews). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

  • Comment: The language is somewhat concerning. Looking at [1] I see some rewriting that probably needs to occur. Furthermore the Faculty Bio page is not independent. In fact there are only 2 independent (not the subject or their employer) references and those are passing level mentions of the subject. Hasteur (talk) 19:26, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
Thanks. Looking at the toollabs output, everything flagged seems to be either an attributed quote, or parts of the guy's title like "Department of Spanish and Portuguese languages and literature" or degrees like "Ph.D. in comparative literature from Columbia University" etc. Do you see anything specific that needs rewriting? I count 3 external sources (APA book review, MLA award for Mexican Modernity book, NAAP award for Freud book) but can add a few more book reviews (they're easy to find on JSTOR). I'm assuming the Princeton pages are sufficiently RS for the biographical data and academic post. 50.0.205.237 (talk) 19:42, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Rubén Gallo is the Walter S. Carpenter, Jr. Professor in Language, Literature, and Civilization of Spain[1] at Princeton University, specializing in modern and contemporary Spanish America.[2] He also serves as Professor of Spanish and Portuguese Languages and Cultures, and has directed Princeton's program in Latin American Studies since 2008. He holds a B.A. in English from Yale University and a Ph.D. in comparative literature from Columbia University.[2]

At Princeton, he has organized conferences on "Radio and the Avant-Garde" (2003) and "Stadiums: Athletics, and Aesthetics" (2004), and "Freud and 20th Century Culture" (2010)[3]

Gallo spent a semester in 2009 as the Fulbright–Freud Visiting Lecturer in Psychoanalysis in Vienna, Austria[4][5] and now serves on the board of directors of Vienna's Sigmund Freud Museum.[2] He decided to write a book about Freud's relationship with Mexico and Freud's influence on Mexican poets and artists, because while there were already books about Freud in Russia, France, and Argentina, there was none about Mexico.[4] He first became acquainted with Freud through a seminar of Julia Kristeva.[6]

Gallo's Princeton faculty page states that "he teaches courses on Freud, the avant-garde, and other aspects of twentieth-century culture".[2]
