With its renowned research university and stimu- lating cultural atmosphere, New Brunswick, will be the ideal backdrop for the 42nd NeMLA conference, which will host a great selection of sessions in several language areas and cultural and interdisciplinary studies. Set at the Hyatt Hotel New Brunswick and at the Heldrich, both located in the heart of the city center, the conference will offer its members the possibility to enjoy the beautiful architectural surroundings, the university museum and library, and the many quaint cafés and ethnic restaurants located nearby. The cultural side will not be overlooked and NeMLA, in collaboration with our host institution, Rutgers University, has organized several tours, exhibits, and cultural events. On Thursday, at the Alexander Library, Professor Thomas Fulton will give a lecture on Milton that will accompany their Milton exhibition and complement the papers dedicated to the British writer. On Friday, Julia Tulovsky will lead a tour of the Zimmerli Museum’s unique collection of Soviet Noncon- formist art. On Friday and Saturday, the Zimmerli Museum will host “Dancing in the Dark: Joan Snyder Prints,” which will be open to NeMLA Convention partici- pants. Our Opening Reception, on Thursday evening, will highlight the poetry of two acclaimed Rutgers University faculty members and authors: Rachel Hadas and Mark Doty, who will be our special Guest Readers. The Keynote Address will feature Ana Celia Zentella, Professor in the Depart- ment of Ethnic Studies at UC San Diego. Her talk, “Language Minorities in the USA in an English-Only Era,” is based on her prominent research in “anthro- political linguistics,” and is co-sponsored by Rutgers University in the framework of the concomitant Latino Literary Imagination Conference. Professor Zentella’s keynote address will complement panels in the Spanish area, as well as intersect with our American/Transnational areas. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we are delighted to welcome you to New Brunswick and Rutgers University. Enjoy the richness of our sessions, the cul- tural environment of this university town, and the many events NeMLA and Rut- gers have organized for you.

  • Turning It Into Fiction: Luisa Valenzuela's National Reality
    2 Densely Woven Skeins: When Literature Is a Practice of Human Rights Amy Kaminsky What threads connect human rights, as a discourse and as a practice, to literary writing, criticism, and theory in Latin America? Are those fibers part of the very cloth of human rights and literature as interwoven practices; or is it the deft critic-seamstress who unwinds her own thread from a spool she keeps in her basket of critical methods, guides it through the eye of her needle, and stitches the two disparate fabrics together along a more or less visible seam? We might argue (tautologically) that because the right to produce, circulate, and read literary texts is a subset of human rights, literature constitutes a piece of the very stuff of human rights. The right to literary expression is guaranteed in Article 13, section 1, of the Organization of American States’ “Convention on Human Rights”: Everyone has the right to freedom of thought and expression. This right includes freedom to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing, in print, in the form of art, or through any other medium of one’s choice.1 Because such legal guarantees are a sure sign of their own necessity, we can understand how literary writing itself may function as a challenge to the abrogation of human rights. Even though the term is comparatively recent, invented well into the twentieth century, the spirit of human rights is at the heart of some of the earliest practices of Latin American literature, including the anti-authoritarian fiction of the post- independence period and the indigenista and anti-slavery novels.2 It is hard to think of a time in Latin America when there was not someone writing about some version of what we call today human rights, and always in a way that is never quite adequate.

  • Cas Li 306 Venetian Landscapes: a Contemporary Grand Tour
    CAS LI 306 VENETIAN LANDSCAPES: A CONTEMPORARY GRAND TOUR Co-taught by Prof. Elisabetta Convento and Prof. Laura Lenci Office Hours: Two hours per week (TBD) or by appointment Office: BU Padua, Via Dimesse 5 – 35122 Padova (Italy) E-mail: Phone: Office (+39) 049 650303 Class Meets: 2 hours, four times a week (Summer), Bu Padua Academic Center Credits: 4 Hub Units: 1+1 (GCI and OSC) Course description There are places that inspire visitors and artists. The morphological aspects of the territory; the colors; the human trace on the physical territory; the history, culture and traditions are but some of the elements of a landscape fascination. The Veneto region, where Padua always played and still plays a lively cultural role, is particularly rich of suggestions and throughout the centuries inspired artists, musicians, writers. Johann W. Goethe, Lord Byron or Henry James wrote beautiful memories of their Italian journey and left us extraordinary depictions of cities like Padua, Venice and Verona surrounded by hills, mountains, lagoon, but also rural landscapes. Following the path of these famous travelers, the course aims to offer students the opportunity to discover the Veneto region through literary and cultural experiences. By means of on-site lessons, readings and field trips, students are able to recognize the local identity that deepens its roots into the landscape (natural and anthropic), culture (progress and tradition), language (Italian and dialect), history and society. During the course, students will read and discuss extracts from works by Luigi Meneghello, Mario Rigoni Stern, Dino Buzzati or Giovanni Comisso to only mention some, and visit places such as the Dolomites, the Veneto countryside, or cities like Padova, Treviso, Vicenza or Venezia.

  • Cubed Circle Newsletter 241 – Consistency Is Hard
    Cubed Circle Newsletter 241 – Consistency is Hard As many of probably noticed, we have been posting late and sporadically for the last month. This was, obviously, not our intention, but with the second semester eating into my free time, staying up to date is a tall order. Even without the newsletter itself seeing weekly publication the site has still remained up to date on a weekly basis, thanks primarily to co-author Ben Carass, as well as guest writers Paul Cooke and Leslie Lee III. But, the newsletter has survived for well over 241 weeks, and will hopefully thrive in the years to come. I have attempted to make provisions for publishing related tasks which should minimize the risk of major delays (obviously there will be some regular delays, as this late issue can attest), but we have some fail safes in place in order to keep this to a minimum. With all of this said, we have a great issue for everyone this week with Paul Cooke discussing the Pro-Wrestling Only Greatest Wrestler Ever project and his personal experience with the poll, Ben covers the news including tons of results from Japan and the Lesnar USADA violation, the Mixed Bag returns with a look at comedy wrestling, Ricochet/Ospreay, and a potential WWE match of the year -- plus Ben also looks at last Sunday's Battleground show and the first RAW of the brand split (a very good show). Also, for those unaware, we now have an official Twitter account @CubedCircleWres allowing the banger to unprecedented highs at @BenCarass and @RyanClingman.

  • Constructions of Domesticity in Nineteenth-Century Spanish America.” Hispanic Journal 21:2 (Fall 2000): 409-420
    Claremont Colleges Scholarship @ Claremont CMC Faculty Publications and Research CMC Faculty Scholarship 10-1-2000 Constructions of Domesticity in Nineteenth- Century Spanish America Lee Joan Skinner Claremont McKenna College Recommended Citation “Constructions of Domesticity in Nineteenth-Century Spanish America.” Hispanic Journal 21:2 (Fall 2000): 409-420. This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the CMC Faculty Scholarship at Scholarship @ Claremont. It has been accepted for inclusion in CMC Faculty Publications and Research by an authorized administrator of Scholarship @ Claremont. For more information, please contact [email protected]. CONSTRUCTIONS OF DOMESTICITY IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY SPANISH AMERICA It is by now a commonplace that in nineteenth-century Spanish American literature the family serves as a metaphor for the nation and that authors express their political agendas through allegories of courtship and marriage. In such readings, potential love matches symbolize the recon­ ciliation of contesting political or ethnic groups and point toward ways for the newly-formed Spanish American nations to negotiate difference with­ out falling into civil war. Most notably, Doris Sommer's Foundational Fictions: The National Romances ofLatin America succinctly explains her project-subsequently taken up and adapted by a generation of critics-as one that wishes "to locate an erotics of politics, to show how a variety of novel national ideals are all ostensibly grounded in 'natural' heterosexual love and in the marriages that provided a figure for apparently nonviolent consolidation during internecine conflicts at midcentury" (6). At its core Sommer's interpretations of what she identifies as the key novels in nine­ teenth-century Spanish America are concerned with courtship and the process of arriving-or fu.iling to arrive-at successful matches.
