As you will see, the conference programme is both comprehensive and varied, and we are especially pleased to welcome our keynote speaker, Professor Walter Mignolo (Duke University) to Manchester. Our postgraduate students – identifiable by their SLAS2013 T-shirts – are on hand to assist you with registration and any other queries. We hope you have an enjoyable and productive conference. Peter Wade and Par Kumaraswami 7 The Society for Latin American Studies Practical information Using this programme The timetable on the inside cover of this book gives times of the keynote, panels and other events. The List of panels which follows these practical notes, allows you to obtain titles, convenors, timing and location of individual panels. This is followed by a more detailed list of panels and papers and their abstracts, in numerical order. Finally, at the end of the book there is the List of delegates, presenters and convenors to help you identify who is present and the sessions in which particular colleagues will present their work. If you need any help interpreting the information in the conference book, do ask one of the conference team at the reception desk. Please note: Each 90-minute session ordinarily accommodates three or four papers. This can be used as a rough guide in establishing which papers will be presented when, within multi-session panels. However, convenors have a degree of flexibility in structuring their panels, so we cannot guarantee the success of panel-hopping! Venue The conference registration and all panels will take place in the following buildings on our main campus: ATB: Alan Turing Building UP: University Place Crawford House There is a campus map on the inside rear cover; and there will be conference signage giving directions to all rooms. The events section, panel lists and panel details all indicate the locations being used. If you have any problems finding your way around, please ask a member of the conference team for assistance. 8 SLAS2013: Practical Info Food Registration includes refreshments (tea, coffee and water), which will be served Thursday afternoon and Friday morning and afternoon, in the Alan Turing Building atrium. On Friday we will also serve some refreshments in Room 4.210 in University Place, so as to save those meeting in that building a walk back to ATB in their break. A lunch is included as part of your registration and this will be in the ATB atrium (only). To avail of any refreshments or lunch you must wear and display your conference badge. Publishers’ stalls, Alan Turing Building atrium The publishers’ stalls are located in the atrium of the Alan Turing Building. Delegates are invited to browse the titles and talk to the representatives of these publishing houses. The following publishers will be present: Combined Academic Publishers Ltd, CUP, Gwasg Prifysgol Cymru - University of Wales Press, Hispanic Research Journal, MUP, Pathfinder Books, Routledge, Wiley- Blackwell and Zed Books. Conference team There is a team of helpful students, familiar with the programme, university and surrounding area, to whom you can turn when in need of assistance. Team members can be identified by their SLAS2013 t-shirts. If you cannot see a team member, please ask for help at the reception desk (in the ATB atrium). Any financial arrangements must be dealt with at the reception desk with the conference organisers. Contact address During the conference, emergency messages should be sent to slas2013@ nomadit.co.uk. There will be a message board for delegates at the reception desk. Rohan Jackson, the conference administrator can be contacted on +447866425805 (preferably emergencies only). 9 The Society for Latin American Studies Internet There is wireless access around the campus, with login info available from our reception desk. Conference badges and meal tickets On arrival at the reception desk you will be given this book and your conference badge. The badge will be necessary to enter sessions, the keynote, and to avail of refreshments/lunch – so please wear this at all times during the conference. SLAS re-uses the plastic badge holders and lanyards, so please hand these in at the boxes provided on the reception desk (or to a member of the conference team) when leaving the conference for the final time. This not only saves resources, but helps keep registration costs to a minimum. Local travel The University of Manchester is situated just to the south of the centre of Manchester, and one can move easily between the two on foot, bus or by taxi. See the map on the rear cover. Walk A 30-minute walk from the main campus to either of the Deansgate venues.

    Contrastes Una evidencia queer: trabajo sexual y metodologías afectivas Juana María Rodríguez University of California, Berkeley [email protected] RESUMEN: Este artículo investiga dos libros que combinan fotografía con testimonios biográficos para documentar un albergue para trabajadoras sexuales de la tercera edad en Ciudad de México, Casa Xochiquetzal. La yuxtaposición de biografía y fotografía suscita nuevos interrogantes en nuestra investigación sobre la representación de la subjetividad sexual y las prácticas interpretativas que desplegamos para investigarlas. Este artículo se plantea los modos en que diferentes formas de documentación biográfica problematizan productivamente nuestros encuentros con las representaciones estéticas de la sexualidad; y cómo la presencia corporal del sujeto complica sus testimonios vitales. Este proyecto responde con la propuesta de una metodología queer que descompone las evidencias para valorar lo afectivo como un modo de enlazar con la alteridad. PALABRAS CLAVE: Trabajo sexual, Metodología, Queer, Fotografía, México. A Queer Evidence: Sex Work and Affective Methodologies ABSTRACT: This article considers two books that combine photography with biographical accounts to document a home for elderly sex workers in Mexico City, La Casa Xochiquetzal. Juxtaposing biographical narrative with visual forms raises new questions for our investiga- tions of sexual subjectivities and the interpretive practices we call upon to investigate them. This project asks, how do different forms of biographical documentation productively trouble our encounters with the aesthetic representations of sexuality? How does the corporeal presence of the subject complicate testimonies of their lives? This project responds by proposing a queer methodology that undoes what functions as evidence in order to valorize the affective as a mode of engaging alterity.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles History, Locality, and Art Worlds: A Case Study of the Center for the Arts at San Agustín Etla (CASA), Oaxaca, México A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance by María del Carmen Cebreros Urzaiz 2019 © Copyright by María del Carmen Cebreros Urzaiz 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION History, Locality, and Art Worlds: A Case Study of the Center for the Arts at San Agustín Etla (CASA), Oaxaca, México by María del Carmen Cebreros Urzaiz Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor David Delgado Shorter, Chair This interdisciplinary case study portrays the Center for the Arts at San Agustín Etla (CASA). CASA constitutes a micro-universe—a system in scale—dedicated to art production, art education and professionalization, art display, and development of audiences. Established in the restored building of a Porfirian textile industry, in a semi-rural municipality in the central valleys of Oaxaca in Southern México, the center inaugurated in 2006. CASA results from private and public efforts galvanized by the artist Francisco Toledo (1940-2019), who campaigned to recuperate and restore the mill for public uses. In this center, negotiations of cultural, symbolic, artistic, and aesthetic values happen regularly. Such deliberations engage national and international cultural producers, artistic forms, and traditions, as well as the local population, the environment, and the history of the site. ii This dissertation argues that the dynamism stimulated by the foundation of the Center for the Arts at San Agustín plays an active mediating function in the configuration of a heterogeneous culture in which divergent lifeways coincide and coalesce without attempting to resolve or be reduced to a singular one.

  • Against Ulro: on the Creation of Poetic Space in the Work of Delmira Agustini, Alejandra Pizarnik and Marosa Di Giorgio
    Against Ulro: on the Creation of Poetic Space in the Work of Delmira Agustini, Alejandra Pizarnik and Marosa di Giorgio by Jeannine Marie Pitas A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Comparative Literature University of Toronto © Copyright by Jeannine Marie Pitas 2014 Against Ulro: on the Creation of Poetic Space in the Work of Delmira Agustini, Alejandra Pizarnik and Marosa di Giorgio Jeannine Marie Pitas Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Comparative Literature University of Toronto 2014 Abstract Poetry is the language of subversion. It is a linguistic mode where rules are broken and foundations are shaken, where reality twists and changes its shape, where metaphors startle and confound us. Looking at the work of Southern Cone writers Delmira Agustini (1886-1914), Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-1972) and Marosa di Giorgio (1932-2004), this dissertation explores the ways in which poetry becomes a discourse of resistance. I argue that these writers, though traditionally considered apolitical, have created a discourse that is actually politically charged. Drawing extensively on literary theorist Maurice Blanchot’s The Space of Literature, I argue that all three poets seek contact with a “space of knowledge” of an ultimate reality, refusing to abandon their quest even as it proves unrealizable. Through this search, all three poets subsequently create a “space of resistance” that subverts the epistemic structures of their social context. Whether or not these authors intended for their work to make a political statement lies ii beyond the scope of this investigation and, in my view, has little bearing on the outcome.

Professor Mariano Siskind Lotte Bernarda Buiting Abstract Echoes of the Child in Latin American Literature and Film This dissertation explores the rhetoric of childhood to comprehend how Latin American literature and film signify childhood. It furthermore analyzes the figure of the child as a rhetorical device in the construction of literary and cinematographic meaning in twentieth and twenty-first century poetry, narrative prose and film. I claim that, contrary to prevailing cultural notions of childhood innocence, the child often constitutes an unsettling presence, signaling textual as well as extradiegetic opacities and tensions.

  • Prince Claus Awards 2018 2 Foreword: Under the Prince Claus Spotlight
    PRINCE CLAUS AWARDS 2018 2 FOREWORD: UNDER THE PRINCE CLAUS SPOTLIGHT by HRH Prince Constantijn Honorary Chairman of the Prince Claus Fund Every year the Prince Claus Awards Committee comes up with another selection of outstanding artists and cultural organisations. It never fails: the range and diversity is always impressive. Each year we are filled with admi­ ration for all the creative people who come up with fresh ideas, different approaches, new combinations and forms of expression. Again, the Laureates this year are enriching lives and challenging fixed ideas in their own societies, from Adong Judith, whose plays energise theatre­ goers in East Africa, to Eka Kurniawan, whose literature mercilessly but with humour raises issues that Indonesia has long kept buried, to Marwa al­Sabouni, whose architectural perspectives open the possibility of building more peaceable communities, to Kidlat Tahimik, whose energetic creativity and promotion of indigenous people in the Philippines never fails to delight, and O Menelick Act 2 and Market Photo Workshop that – through their different mediums – have given expression to rarely seen realities of black life in South Africa and Brazil. One change in this year’s celebration is the addition of a Next Generation Award. The Prince Claus Fund has always been open to young and emerging artists but this new award reflects a more conscious emphasis, in all the Fund’s programmes, on developing the creative possibilities of young people. Dada Masilo, the Fund’s first Next Generation Laureate, started young and already has a remarkable career. She has broken through conventions and created her own melding of African dance and classical ballet that is relevant to modern life and speaks to audiences of all ages.
