Enjuto Rangel's study investigates the virtually unexplored map of modern ruins in modern poetry. She interprets modern poetry on ruins as a critique of both capitalist definitions of progress and the devastating effects of modern warfare. Furthermore, she argues that the representation of ruins provokes a \"historical awakening\" that empowers the text, and the reader, with political and historical agency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCecilia Enjuto Rangel, University of Oregon, received her Ph.D. in comparative literature from Yale University.
