Sor María legend the topic of talk
The Center of Southwest Studies at Fort Lewis College will host Anna Nogar, a Hispanic southwest studies scholar from the University of New Mexico, at 6 p.m. Monday in the center’s Lyceum.
Nogar will give a presentation titled, “How do you solve a problem like Maria? The legendary travels and lost writings of Sor María de Jesús de Ágreda.”
The event is free and open to the public. Nogar is an assistant professor and the author of several forthcoming books, including a work featuring the main figure of his talk. Sor María de Jesús de Ágreda was the subject of early colonial legends of bilocation between Sor María’s home convent in Spain and the Southwest borderlands that then were the northern reaches of colonial Mexico. Early Franciscan documents attest to the persistence of the legend of Sor María, and Nogar will explore these and other sources from her research.
