February 3-9, 2014



  • GRADUATE MINOR IN LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES
The graduate minor in Latin American Studies will require the student to complete 12 graduate hours; 8 of the hours must be at the 500-level.
  • Area Coursework: A minimum of 8 graduate hours at the 400/500-level from courses in two different departments approved by CLACS every semester. The Center updates and posts approved courses in our website and announce them through our listserv. Our Center has approximately 104 faculty affiliated from different departments in campus, and we approve their courses as part of our curriculum. The Center will record the approved courses on a master list to be kept in the unit that will be used to certify that students took approved courses during their studies in the minor.
  • Language Component: At least 4 hours in language coursework taken in any Latin American language (Portuguese, Spanish or Native American Language or Haitian Creole) while enrolled in the Graduate Minor program.
  • In the case that not enough or advance language courses are offered, The Center also accepts as equivalent area courses taught in these languages, i.e. literature class taught in Portuguese or Spanish.
  • If the chosen language course is at the 400-or 500 level it may count towards the required 12 hours for Graduate Minor. We anticipate that students registering in the Minor already have knowledge of Latin American language.
  • If the Student's Master's thesis or doctoral dissertation deals with a country from Latin America and the Caribbean, we advise students in this minor to speak with their advisor about including a committee member from the minor area.
  • We recommend that the courses taken for the minor not be applied to course requirements in the students' Master's or PhD program

LEMMAN LECTURE SERIES

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4
2PM
101 International Studies Building

Prof. ANTONIO SERGIO ALFREDO GUIMARÃES (Sociology, University of Saõ Paulo and Lemann Distinguished Visitor Spring 2014)

POSTCOLONIAL STUDIES AND FRO-BRAZILIAN STUDIES







To reflect on post-colonialism in relation to Afro-Brazilian studies is to situate a very specific historical context of decolonization. In this talk, I will approach three moments of this process of decoloniality, as different moments of African- Brazilian struggles, and as moments of reception of new ideas circulating internationally. The first one was the concept of internal colonialism as a legacy of the American civil rights movement. The second one, stretching to the 1980s, and advancing studies in India, under the influence of British Marxist historiography (history from below).the current days, was Fanon's reception by the new generation of Brazilian black activists. Finally I will concentrate my attention on the writing of a new Brazilian historiography of slavery and its implicit dialog with the Black movement, an almost perfect match of what did the subaltern.

CALL FOR PAPERS/ CONFERENCE

·         TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY’S FOURTH HISPANIC STUDIES ANNUAL GRADUATE CONFERENCE: Translating Social Movements

Friday March 21 – Saturday March 22 2014
College Station, Texas

The relationship between intellectual discourse and grassroots social movements has long been a contentious and conflictive one, but it is also one that has been shaped by mutual interaction. Just as the production of knowledge has formed and informed the direction of social movements, so have social movements themselves shaped the direction of intellectual activity throughout the years. In our global times, we are witnessing the explosion of social movements that operate outwith the traditional modes of representational politics that has defined western modernity. So-called global justice movements such as Occupy, the Spanish indignados and Non-Governmental Organizations, local movements of a political nature such as the Zapatistas and MST, or trans-national ones such as the Arab Spring, global networks of commercial insurgency and crime, such as represent the War on Terror and the War on Drugs, even the expansion of religious and cultural fundamentalisms. As a border zone where, in the words of Gloria Anzaldúa, the third world grates against the first and bleeds, Texas is intersected by many such types of movements, by what Toni Negri calls the movement of movements.
The 4th Hispanic Studies Graduate Conference seeks to take an interdisciplinary approach to the conditions which concern the translatability of such movements, movements which often exceed and challenge the apparatuses which try to understand, control or intervene in them. Such approaches may include, but are not limited to, any of the following intersections:
  • Cultural treatments of social movements past or present, whether in the plastic arts, literature, film or music
  • Linguistic approaches which may include, but are not limited to, translating the needs of particular social groups
  • The relationship between academic knowledge and social movements, in fields such as philosophy, sociology, anthropology or political sciences
  • The role of history and the complexity of historicizing social movements
  • Perspectives from ethnic and racial, queer, gender and/or indigenous studies.
Keynote Speakers: Glenn Martínez (linguist, Ohio State University) and Cristina Rivera Garza (writer, University of California San Diego).

SUBMISSIONS: Participants may submit either panel proposals or individual paper submissions. Panel proposals should include the proposed name of the panel, the organizer, and individual paper abstracts for each presenter.

Abstracts for individual papers should be of no more than 250 words and include the participant’s affiliation. Please send your proposals for panels or individual papers by February 15th

2014 to María Gil Poisa, at mariapoisa@neo.tamu.edu.
Proposal deadline: 2/15/2014

·         TRAVEL AND THE SPATIAL IMAGINATION IN HIS[ANIC AND LUSOPHONE CULTURES

13th - 14th June 2014
University College London, UK

This conference aims to explore spatial tropes and practices within the literature, theatre, cinema and plastic arts of the Hispano-Lusophone world. We invite papers that interrogate the thematic treatment of travel and space, alongside those that utilise spatial and travel theory in the analysis of Hispano-Lusophone culture. In addition to thematic and theoretical conceptions of space and transit, we would also encourage discussion of the spatiality and mobility of/in different media, considering, for example, artworks that challenge the manner in which we move through and across a text, screen, or canvas. In recent years we have seen increasing emphasis placed on these concerns within the Arts and Humanities, however – though of growing interest – they have not been as widely discussed or investigated in the Hispanic and Lusophone context. This conference will, thus, provide a timely framework in which both scholars and professional practitioners can contribute to and advance the growing debates about ideas of space and travel within Hispanic and Lusophone studies.

The event will include keynote addresses from Sylvia Molloy (NYU) and Claire Lindsay (UCL), alongside a roundtable discussion between the Spanish-Argentine writer Andrés Neuman and translators Lorenza García and Nick Caistor to be held at Senate House on 13th June at 6pm.

We welcome proposals for papers that deal with, but are not limited to, the following subjects:

Travel writing in Spain, Portugal or Latin America ; Spatial practices ; Fictional travel ; Space and the visual arts ; Representations of the city ; Landscape and the natural world ; Theories of space ; Space and national identity ; Cartography and mapping ; Gendered spaces ; Migration and exile
Proposal deadline: 15th March 2014
Contact information: uclconference2014@gmail.com
Additional information:
Please send abstracts in English or Spanish (max. 300 words) for 20 minute papers, along with a brief biographical note, by 15 March 2014 to uclconference2014@gmail.com

For any other queries please contact the organizers, Camilla Sutherland: camilla.sutherland.09@ucl.ac.uk and Guadalupe Gerardi: g.arauz@alumni.ucl.ac.uk

You will receive information on whether your paper has been accepted by 31 March 2014.
