THE CHALLENGES FACING BRAZILIAN DEVELOPMENT STATE
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22
2PM
101 International Studies Building
Why
is Brazil’s economy, despite its potential, growing at a disappointing rate?
After a strong performance of 7,5% in 2010, it fell back to 1% in
2012. As late developers, emerging economies are facing simultaneously, with
varied intensity, four major challenges, which are currently, and for many
years, will undermine their growth performance. These challenges are identified
as: 1) the middle-income trap, 2) the competitive trap 3) the globalization
trap, and 4) the Dutch disease. This presentation will define each problem
using examples within BRIC countries of the mechanisms at play. Added to
these challenges, Brazil’s peculiar state led development model comes at a cost
not captured by the traditional prescriptions over what has been identifies as
the “custo Brazil”. This hybrid system of economic governance is responsible
for the creation of grabber friendly institutions with multiple vested
interests making reform slow and expensive.
Philippe
Faucher is professor and former Chair of the Political Science Department of
the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at the Université de Montréal (www.pol.umontreal.ca/personnel/Faucher_Philippe.htm). He teaches
international political economy and globalization. He has been working on the
political and economic development of Latin America, concentrating on Brazil
and Mexico. His current work deals with Latin America’s political institutions
and economic policies. His current research project considers what political
factors are contributing to the appropriation of economic rent from natural
resources in a comparative perspective. Philippe Faucher worked as consultant
to the Minister of administration and reform of the state (1995), and with the
science and technology Minister (1999) of the Federal government of Brazil. He
was a guest professor on several occasions in Brazil (UnB), France (IEP) and
Morocco. He writes a monthly column on international economics and energy for
Montreal's daily newspaper La Presse (www.cerium.ca/_Faucher-Philippe).

COLONIAL SABOR: CRAFTING SAVORY BODIES THROUGH
CUBAN MUSI C AND DANCE
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24
12pm
101 International Studies
Using
discursive analysis of a range of historical sources, this presentation
discusses the emergence of novel cultural and aesthetic categories of
classification in Havana during a moment of profound transformations in
nineteenth century Cuban society. Since the early 19th century a
growing class of free urban blacks and mulatos/as gained influence in a
range of fields claimed by white creoles, such as painting, European music,
dress and dance. In response, white creoles developed strategies to reinforce
their social distinction as a class vis a vis this bourgeoning urban
class of color. These strategies included cultivating and appropriating new,
highly embodied practices of distinction such as “good manners” and taste. By
the second half of the century, the widespread popularity among white creoles
of an African-influenced music and dance genre, the danzón, disrupted
their efforts to culturally distance themselves from everything black. In
this context emerged the new category of sabor, an embodied discernment
quality of appreciating, feeling and performing African influenced Cuban music
and dance. As white creoles incorporated sabor into their systems of
taste on the verge of Cuban independence late in the century, they helped
construct and incorporate a kind of eroticized (white bourgeois) dancing body
into the national imaginary.

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS-LATIN AMERICAN LIBRARY
This
is to let you know that we have a trial until November 1, 2013 of two
databases for Caribbean Studies:
Federal
Surveillance of the Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño: This collection
highlights the FBI’s efforts to disrupt the activities of the largest of the
Puerto Rican independence parties, Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño, and
compromise their effectiveness. In addition, these documents provide an
insightful documentary history and analysis of why independence was the
second-largest political movement in the island, (after support for
commonwealth status), and a real alternative. These documents provide
invaluable additions to the recorded history of Puerto Rico.
and
Feminism
in Cuba:
Nineteenth through Twentieth Century Archival Documents (1898-1958): This
collection is a study on feminists and the feminist movement in Cuba between
Cuban independence and the end of the Batista regime. In the decades following
its independence from Spain in 1898, Cuba adopted the most progressive
legislation for women in the western hemisphere. This collection provides a
documentary explanation of how a small group of women and men helped to shape
broad legal reforms, by describing their campaigns, the version of feminism
they adopted with all its contradictions, and contrasts it to the model of
American feminism.

20th ANNUAL CAROLINA CONFERENCE ON ROMANCE LITERATURES:
"BUILDING CONNECTIONS: THE CHANGING FACE OF ROMANCE STUDIES”
April
3-5, 2014
Location:
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
The
study of Romance literatures faces numerous opportunities and challenges in
today’s increasingly globalized world. The growing importance of
interdisciplinarity invites literary scholars to think about the future of
literature in the age of cultural studies. The prominent position of this
academic field within Romance Studies departments both enables and requires us
to reconsider the relationship between literature and its sociopolitical
context. Meanwhile, evolutions in technology and the creation of new media call
for a redefinition of the text itself. Such evolutions may challenge
preconceived notions about how we define and understand literature. These
challenges also enable us to unearth new connections between ideas, cultures,
periods and genres. The 2014 Carolina Conference on Romance Literatures invites
papers that explore these connections. Submissions may examine current debates
on interdisciplinarity, trans-national dialogues, or cultural studies,
including but not limited to translation studies, feminist theory, film studies
and philosophy. Post-colonial, Decolonial, Subaltern, New Historicist or Queer
approaches are also welcome. Papers or panels on all aspects of literature and
film in French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Comparative Literature will
be considered. Proposals may address, but are not restricted to, the title
theme.
