Most importantly, the Car- ibbean Studies Association has become potentially one of the most important vehicles for researching, analyz- ing, and documenting the growing significant presence of populations of Caribbean descent in United States, Canada and Europe. It provides the perfect venue for maintaining the intellectual and academic connections needed to study this growing phenomenon. Members of CSA have played leading roles in the Carib- bean, most notably in public service and in academia. These include current and past service as leaders of governments, administrators in multilateral and bilateral regional organizations. Many of our current members serve in senior positions at Caribbean, North American, and European universities. www.proyectocreativo.mx CONTENTS 2 Acknowledgements 4 President’s Statement 10 Welcome Message from Program Chair 13 Message from Local Committee Co-Chairs 15 CSA Officers and Committees 2012-2013 16 Author Celebration - Books to be presented 17 Invited Speakers 25 Translation Chart 3 26 Program Shell 27 Program Highlights 31 Panels 73 Past Presidents 73 Past Conferences 74 Index of Participants 85 Cancellations President’s Statement The 38th Annual Conference daily basis, there are at least four sessions of the CSA has generated tremendous consisting of as many as nine panels per interest based upon the conference pro- session.

  • Gender Transformations in the Trinidad Carnival Author Uses the Presence
    P. De Freitas Disrupting the nation : gender transformations in the Trinidad Carnival Author uses the presence and performance of women in Trinidad's Carnival, and the narratives surrounding them, to comprehend the linkages between Carnival and the Trinidadian national identity, between gender and the nationalist project. She contends that the public debates surrounding the perceived 'feminization' of Carnival are highly charged because it both exposes the dilemma of post-colonial nation-building and strikes at the heart of the nationalist project. In: New West Indian Guide/ Nieuwe West-Indische Gids 73 (1999), no: 1/2, Leiden, 5-34 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl PATRICIA A. DE FREITAS DISRUPTING "THE NATION" : GENDER TRANSFORMATIONS IN THE TRINIDAD CARNIVAL INTRODUCTION Annually, between the Christian seasons of Christmas and Lent, the twin- island "nation" of Trinidad and Tobago devotes a considerable amount of resources and energy to Carnival activities.1 A season in its own right, the Carnival culminates in a two-day street celebration marked by music, dancing, and masquerade performances. Historically, Trinidad's Carnival2 has served as a social barometer of sorts, registering the ethos, fantasies, ideals, and contests of the society, what Victor Turner (1986:41) has called the hopelessly intermingled indicative and subjunctive "moods" of a culture. In turn, Carnival has had a profound effect on the Self-conscious- ness and behavior of Trinidadians as a people. Each year, Carnival is known, and sometimes expected, to generate a controversy or highly con- tentious issue. Some controversies are year-specific and often confined to the organizational bodies responsible for the planning and performance of the Carnival.
