Jimena Berzal de Dios is Professor in the Art & Art History Department at Western Washington University. Her published work, including the recent Visual Experiences in Cinquecento Theatrical Spaces (University of Toronto Press, 2018), explores reception and theatricality through an interdisciplinary lens attentive to alternative temporalities and exegetical sincerity.

His work primarily explores the modalities of aesthetic experience, ranging from the history of aesthetic philosophy to the portrayal of aesthetic experience in 19th- and 20th-century French literature and thought, with a particular focus on Proust.

James Dutton teaches at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. His research spans the topics of modernist literature, deconstructive and broadly “poststructuralist” philosophy, and the politics of labor and extinction studies. His essays have appeared, or are due to appear, in journals such as Textual Practice, Angelaki, Paragraph, and Symplokē. He is currently working on a project concerning the materiality of allegory and individuation.
