Article Title：Reading Lorca through the microscope
Abstract：
Federico Garca Lorca's years in the Residencia de estudiantes immersed the poet in the interdisciplinary dialogue which characterized Spanish artistic, literary and scientific circles in the 1920s. Specifically, the prevalence of scientists, physicians and students of science and medicine in the Residencia exposed the poet to a new world of images and discourse. The influence of the Sciences, personified in Santiago Ramon y Cajal, can be traced in drawings and verbal texts composed by Lorca at this time. A comparative reading of Cajal and Lorca's theoretical texts reveals striking parallels and supports a reading of Lorca's work through the lens of Science.
