Department of Comparative Literature and Languages mourns the loss of Marguerite Waller, a dear friend and colleague, who died on March 11, 2020.<\/h4>\n<p>Marguerite Waller earned a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from Yale University, and subsequently taught at Amherst College and, in the Department of Comparative Literature and Languages and the Department of Gender and Sexuality Studies, at UC, Riverside. Her talents and efforts extended from rigorous academic study, made manifest in the publication of her pathbreaking book <em>Petrarch&#8217;s Poetics and Literary History<\/em> (University of Massachusetts Press, 1981), in numerous articles, essays, and edited books, and in the many conferences and fora she organized with such care and thoughtfulness, to her administrative work as Chair of the Department of Gender and Sexuality Studies and in founding a major in Sustainability Studies at UC, Riverside. But Margie will especially be remembered, and sorely missed, as a friend, as a confidant, and as a supportive and generous voice for so many of us at so many crucial moments in our lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jeff Sacks, Chair, Comparative Literature and Languages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>An obituary, composed by Donald Waller, Kate Hartford, and Margaret Ferguson, is <a href=\"https:\/\/complitlang.ucr.edu\/news-events\/\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>A link to the Yale University Comparative Literature Department, which contains a second obituary, is <a href=\"https:\/\/complit.yale.edu\/news\/memory-marguerite-waller\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>During the time of COVID-19, the Department of Comparative Literature and Languages wishes to offer a hand of welcome and support to undergraduate and graduate students as you continue your studies during these uncertain times.<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>While times are uncertain, we can turn to each other for nurturing and a shared life and experience.

She then earned her Ph.D in Comparative Literature at Yale University and became Assistant Professor of English at Amherst College in 1974. In 1990, she moved to the University of California &#8211; Riverside where she taught in the Departments of Comparative Literature and Languages and Gender and Sexuality Studies until she retired in 2018. Her Fulbright Fellowship to study in Italy as a PhD student was followed by later Fulbright professorships in both France and Hungary. Through these experiences, she became a committed internationalist.\u00a0 She directed University of California\u2019s Rome program in 2007-08.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Waller was an innovative scholar and teacher. At Amherst, she helped establish the Women and Gender Studies program once the college became co-ed. At both Amherst and UC-R, she designed new courses on feminist theory, human rights, peace studies, film and media studies, and critical theory. She was an admired teacher, inspiring undergraduate and graduate students toward influential careers in academia, film, law, and other fields. She led efforts to create UC-R\u2019s interdisciplinary undergraduate major in <a href=\"https:\/\/genderandsexualitystudies.ucr.edu\/sustainability-studies-major\">Sustainability Studies<\/a>. This was the first major of its kind in the nation. It reflects her deep concerns over environmental degradation and the roles economic, gender, and international inequalities play in this. Prof. Margaret Brose of UC-Santa Cruz summarized Dr. Waller\u2019s professional life as \u201cmarked by adventurous, bold and exciting pursuits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To better understand films, Dr. Waller studied film making at New York University. Her book <em>Petrarch\u2019s Poetics and Literary History<\/em> (1980) appeared the same year that she published an article comparing <em>Rebel without a Cause<\/em> with <em>Star Wars<\/em>. Film studies remained a focal interest, culminating in her 2020 book, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wiley.com\/en-us\/A+Companion+to+Federico+Fellini-p-9781119431534\"><em>The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Federico Fellini<\/em><\/a>, coedited with Frank Burke and Marita Gubareva. This volume complements her earlier co-edited book, <em>Federico Fellini: Contemporary Perspectives <\/em>(2002).<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Waller worked throughout her career to facilitate communication and collaboration among feminists. In the early 1990s, she joined the\u00a0women\u2019s art-making collective, Las Comadres, active in the San Diego\/Tijuana border region. She also co-organized three international feminist conferences and convened a transnational feminist Resident Research Project at UC\u2019s Humanities Research Institute. These resulted in three co-edited books: <em>Frontline Feminisms: Women, War, and Resistance<\/em> (2000), <em>Dialogue and Difference: Feminisms Challenge Globalization<\/em> (2005, translated into Turkish and Spanish), and <em>The Wages of Empire: Neoliberal Policies, Resistance, and Women\u2019s Poverty<\/em> (2007), and a special issue of <em>Social Identities <\/em>(2006). Dr. Waller\u2019s concerns for social justice led her to direct and produce a timely documentary on homelessness in Santa Monica (\u201cSnapshots: Citizens without Shelter\u201d). Her work often combined historical and contemporary lines of inquiry. Thus, her early interests in Italian literature emerged in later papers to connect Dante, decolonization, and feminism.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Waller returned to Cornell in 2019 to dedicate a memorial installed near Cornell\u2019s Sage Chapel. It honors the eight students and one faculty member killed in a dormitory fire on April 5, 1967. Her and her roommate\u2019s quick actions to fashion an escape rope saved the lives of several students and a faculty resident. She led a group of survivors to ensure that Cornell recognize and honor the lives lost. This case of suspected arson remains unsolved 50+ years later (see articles by <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@TheMaxDenning\/an-ivy-league-arson-50-years-later-e8b327cd0e5c\">Max Denning in <em>Medium<\/em><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/04\/13\/nyregion\/never-solved-a-college-dorm-fire-has-become-one-mans-obsession.html\">N.R. Kleinfield in <em>The New York Times<\/em><\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Margie Waller is survived by her daughter Lea Waller, sisters Susan Cope and Elizabeth Zee (Los Angeles), brother Donald Waller (Madison, WI), and nieces M. Meredith Masters, Katherine Zee, Mia Zee, Luella Allen-Waller, and Cora Allen-Savietta, plus great-niece Lennox and great-nephew Lukas. Her parents and youngest brother, Richard, predeceased her.\u00a0 The family thanks the broader community for their love and support of Margie. Donations in her honor can go to support students in UC-R\u2019s Sustainability Studies major, either online (<a href=\"https:\/\/donate.ucr.edu\/waller\">https:\/\/donate.ucr.edu\/waller<\/a>) or via

His account of &#8220;Bildung,&#8221; moreover, shows the ways in which reflection is an integral part of this process, suggesting that cultural participation is never merely a habitual, but always also a reflective activity.
