Critical Theory: Made in Brazil
This course aims at presenting
an important school of literary criticism in Brazil, as it was developed at the
University of São Paulo since the sixties in the works of Antonio Candido,
Roberto Schwarz and others. The idea here is to investigate what has been the
experience of the dialectic in Brazilian thinking about literature, which could
function as a model or at least inspiration for other disciplines. The main
concern will be to critically describe how literary form can crystalize
social life. Depending on the reading skills of the class texts in Portuguese
will also be used. Methodologically, the course will consist of close readings
of critical writings accompanied by the literary works on which their insights
are based.
LAST 490 , SECTION 0
Multidisciplinary Approaches to
Latin American Studies
This course is designed to provide an overview of current trends
and issues in Latin American Studies. Students enrolled in the course will
attend the CLACS brown bag lecture series and also meet with the professor to
discuss the lectures. Readings will be assigned from a wide array of
disciplines (i.e. Anthropology, Cultural Studies, Economics, Geography,
History, Literature, Media Studies, Political Science) to complement and
contextualize the public lectures. The course will also address the history and
current status of Latin American Studies as an academic field.

- 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

PRO POOR ECONOMIC GROWTH IN BRAZILIAN NORTHEAST: THE EVIDENCE
FOR THE PERIODS 1991-2000 AND 2000-2010
This
paper analyses the quality of economic growth of the Brazilian Northeast
region, the poorest region of the country, during the periods 1991-2000 and
2000-2010, focusing specifically on the its relative impact on poor
individuals. By using an indicator of pro poor growth that considers both
traditional poverty measures and the relative growth of the income of the
poorest individuals, it provides evidence for the states and meso-regions of
the Brazilian Northeast. Although that there were poverty reductions
during both periods, regarding the nature pro poor of the growth, the results
for the periods 1991-2000 and 2000-2010 are very different: during the last
period the income dynamic is clearly favorable to poorest individuals;
during the first, the opposite situation is observed. When focusing on the
labor income, instead of on total income, we found that a much less favorable
performance even for the last period. The set of evidence suggests that
non-market sources of income, the degree of formalization and the extension of
local labor markets appear to matter in generating a pro poor economic growth.

SINGING ABOUT DROUGHT IN NORTHEASTERN BRAZIL: MIMICRY, METAPHOR,
AND THE MEDIATION OF KNOWLEDGE
THURSDAY, APRIL 17
12pm
101 International Studies Building
Through
much of the twentieth century, musicians of Northeastern Brazilian popular
music—baião and forró—sang about the landscapes of the Northeast
for reasons related to migration, national politics, and changes in the
Brazilian music industry. Their songs included references to birds, birdsong,
and traditional ecological knowledge associated with rain and drought. In my
talk, I discuss ways in which these songs convey knowledge about nature through
both music and lyrics, and I explore how they have been received by
Northeastern audiences. I argue that this music has affected the experience and
knowledge of the natural world, especially as it involves rain and drought. For
example, farmers in rural Northeastern Brazil predict rainfall based on
knowledge encoded in the music, and they cite its lyrics when discussing the
practice known as rain prophecy.

INDUSTRIALISTS, ECONOMISTS, DIPLOMATS AND CONGRESSMEN: BRAZIL
AND THE RISE OF POSTWAR TRADE NEGOTIATIONS (1946-1967)
TUESDAY, APRIL 22
2-4PM
101 International Studies Building
Trade is part of our daily life. From the
clothes we wear to the gadgets we use, most products of everyday life result
from complex global supply chains, logistics innovation, better communications
and trade agreements. The first three aspects corresponded to changes in the
private sector, but the last one was primarily shaped by government
actors. The creation and functioning of the General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade (GATT) in 1947 was, in this respect, one of the great achievements
in postwar multilateral diplomacy.
This presentation will investigate the role
Brazil had in GATT's first six rounds. The focus will be on two aspects. First,
how the country perceived, shaped and complied with the constraints created by
the international trading order. Second, how domestic actors in Brazil sought
to influence the country's position in international trade negotiations.
Rogério
de Souza Farias worked until 2010 in the Ministry of Industry, Trade and
Development. His Ph.D. dissertation (Universidade de Brasília) won the prize of
best thesis of 2012 by the Brazilian Association of International Relations.
His academic interests lie on Brazilian foreign policy, international trade
negotiations and the history of the Brazilian diplomatic service.

Echoes of Violence:
Post-Memory and
Indigenous Voice After the War in Peru

American Studies Program

THURSDAY, APRIL 23
12PM
101 International
Studies Building
A
decade after Peru’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and the
publication of its final report in 2003, Peruvians continue to struggle over
how the political violence that devastated their country in the 1980s and 90s
should be remembered. Recent events, including controversies surrounding the
tenth anniversary of the commission’s work as well as ongoing debates over the
legitimacy and accuracy of public commemorations of the conflict’s victims,
reinforce the consensus view that truth commissions mark the beginning, rather
than the end, of processes of historical reflection, revision, and
reconciliation. In this paper, I consider various musical interventions into
these post-TRC processes and debates in Peru, focusing in particular on those
that claim to represent the voices and perspectives of the conflict’s victims:
predominantly rural, indigenous peasants from the southern Andean highlands.
While some of these musical interventions arise directly within indigenous
communities, including the composition and performance of testimonial songs in
contests sponsored by human rights organizations, others draw upon
anthropological research and the TRC report itself to craft fictionalized
representations of indigenous music for recent “testimonial” films and novels.
Though such representations carry inherent risks, both of sensationalizing the
violence and overemphasizing the alterity of indigenous responses to it, they
also play a key role in mediating and transmitting traumatic memories of the
war to what Marianne Hirsch (2008) has called the “postmemory generation,”
those born or raised after the conflict whose lives are nonetheless shaped and
haunted by it.

THE
NEWBERRY LIBRARY SEMINAR IN BORDERLANDS AND LATINO STUDIES
· PRACTICAS CULTURALES, SUBJETIVIDAD Y GLOBALIZACION EN AMERICA LATINA
22 y 23 de octubre de 2014Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México D.F.
Se ha escrito mucho sobre la amplitud de la globalización, pero aún es difícil saber cuál es su extensión y en qué ámbitos de la vida social y cotidiana es importante y en cuáles no. Si bien hay cierta claridad sobre las instituciones que se globalizan (el mercado, por ejemplo), no es fácil distinguir los discursos que lo hacen, ni su intensidad o profundidad. Algunos autores sostienen que a la par de la globalización de instituciones económicas y políticas, también se globaliza una forma de subjetividad. De la densa trama de los procesos globalizadores no sólo emergería un mundo homogéneo, intensamente conectado aunque desigual y violento, sino un tipo de sujeto que respondería, quizás por primera vez en la historia humana, a un patrón de subjetivación estándar. Esto es aún una hipótesis porque los procesos de globalización son relativamente recientes y desiguales, y es difícil mensurar la novedad histórica de un nuevo tipo de sujeto. No obstante, hay evidencia consistente de la gigantesca expansión de las industrias culturales occidentales en todo el planeta, especialmente de las estadounidenses, que producen signos, imágenes y discursos y promueven formas de subjetivación.
En este coloquio deseamos preguntarnos por los vínculos entre determinadas prácticas culturales, los procesos de globalización y las formas de subjetividad y subjetivación que pueden ser rastreadas en ellos. Nuestro interés es discutir estos vínculos en el contexto de América Latina, considerando la expansión de las industrias culturales estadounidenses en el continente y su incidencia en la producción cultural y subjetiva local, con particular énfasis en las prácticas de consumo.
Líneas temáticas: Consumo e industrias culturales, medios de comunicación y nuevas tecnologías, culturas juveniles y urbanas, cine, literatura y artes plásticas, relaciones de género y sexualidades diversas, formas de trabajo, formas de hacer política y movimientos sociales, migración y diásporas, espiritualidad y religión, nuevas formas de subjetivación, transformaciones del capitalismo.
Proposal deadline: 30 de abril 2014
Contact information: coloquioglobalización@gmail.com
Los interesados/as deben enviar un reumen (abstract) de 300 palabras antes del 30 de abril de 2014, especificando su adscripción y categoría. El 30 de mayo se dará aviso a los/as participantes aceptados/as.
