This global commitment to provide quality basic education for all children, youth and adults was assumed by our country in the World Education Forum in Dakar (2000), where there were established six objectives aiming to meet the learning needs of all children, youth and adults by 2015. The priority activities of EFA are related to early childhood education, high quality universal primary education, education for youth and adults, literacy, gender equality and quality of education. Regarding the upcoming post-2015 debate in the agendas of development and education, the United Nations system has started a process of consultation about the progress made towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Education for All targets set for 2015. Therefore, it has been considered to identify the existing gaps for the fulfillment of the 2015 goals; to develop realistic tasks together with UNESCO and the countries to accelerate the progress made by 2015; and to identify emergent topics and tendencies. In this framework, the Government of Peru, through its Ministry of Education, has committed to develop, in coordination with the UNESCO Regional Bureau for Education in Latin America and the Caribbean (OREALC), the regional consultation about education and development post 2015 with the objective of accomplishing collective agreements that will constitute the regional vision that will be presented in the World Education Forum next year. In this respect, the Ministry of Education of Peru is pleased to invite the Ministers of Education of UNESCO’s Member States of Latin America and the Caribbean and other key stakeholders to participate in the “Ministerial Regional Meeting of Education for All in Latin America and the Caribbean: Balance and Challenges post 2015”, that will be held on October 30th and 31st, 2014, in the city of Lima, Peru. The objective of the meeting is to generate a dialogue space to validate the progress of the region towards the EFA goals and generate agreements on challenges and priorities for the Post-2015 Education Agenda, considering the transformations that face the region.

  • The Global Charango
    The Global Charango by Heather Horak A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music and Culture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2020 Heather Horak i Abstract Has the charango, a folkloric instrument deeply rooted in South American contexts, “gone global”? If so, how has this impacted its music and meaning? The charango, a small and iconic guitar-like chordophone from Andes mountains areas, has circulated far beyond these homelands in the last fifty to seventy years. Yet it remains primarily tied to traditional and folkloric musics, despite its dispersion into new contexts. An important driver has been the international flow of pan-Andean music that had formative hubs in Central and Western Europe through transnational cosmopolitan processes in the 1970s and 1980s. Through ethnographies of twenty-eight diverse subjects living in European fields (in Austria, France, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Croatia, and Iceland) I examine the dynamic intersections of the instrument in the contemporary musical and cultural lives of these Latin American and European players. Through their stories, I draw out the shifting discourses and projections of meaning that the charango has been given over time, including its real and imagined associations with indigineity from various positions. Initial chapters tie together relevant historical developments, discourses (including the “origins” debate) and vernacular associations as an informative backdrop to the collected ethnographies, which expose the fluidity of the instrument’s meaning that has been determined primarily by human proponents and their social (and political) processes.

  • Ing Theatre History in the Americas
    Re-Stor(y)ing Theatre History in the Americas: Professional Players and the Callao Contract of 1599 Susan Beth Finque A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Scott Magelssen, Chair Jose Antonio Lucero Stefka Mihaylova Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Drama @Copyright 2017 Susan B. Finque University of Washington Abstract Re-stor(y)ing Theatre History in the Americas: Professional Players and the Callao Contract of 1599 Susan B. Finque Chair of the Supervising Committee: Associate Professor Scott Magelssen, Chair School of Drama In neglecting Peruvian theatre history, theatre studies has kept a branch of American theatre’s genealogical tree nearly invisible, despite the fruits of its growth thriving in plain sight. In investigating a contract drawn in Callao, Peru, 1599, I reveal a culture of secular, professional performance in sixteenth-century Lima. Inarguably creating the first professional company in the Western Hemisphere, the contract features male and female signatories, democratic structure, business sophistication, and a synchronicity with the evolution of the profession in Shakespeare’s London. Players were onstage in the Americas more than a hundred years earlier than current narratives dictate. The contract’s neglect, and English language scholars’ neglect of the Peruvian archives reveal pervasive biases in historiography. Asking how an abundance of archival evidence and the repertory of Peru persist without influencing theatre history in the Americas, I investigate genetic elements in the americanity of Peru, a term defining influences from indigenous, invasive and mestizaje cultures. I theorize with scholars Michel de Certeau, Carolyn Dean, Diana Taylor, Odai Johnson and Joseph Roach, among others, how slow-to-change narratives of theatre history in the Americas lack a hemispheric consciousness and are ruled by a series of persistent hegemonic assumptions.

  • Performing Blackness in the Danza De Caporales
    Roper, Danielle. 2019. Blackface at the Andean Fiesta: Performing Blackness in the Danza de Caporales. Latin American Research Review 54(2), pp. 381–397. DOI: https://doi.org/10.25222/larr.300 OTHER ARTS AND HUMANITIES Blackface at the Andean Fiesta: Performing Blackness in the Danza de Caporales Danielle Roper University of Chicago, US [email protected] This study assesses the deployment of blackface in a performance of the Danza de Caporales at La Fiesta de la Virgen de la Candelaria in Puno, Peru, by the performance troupe Sambos Illimani con Sentimiento y Devoción. Since blackface is so widely associated with the nineteenth- century US blackface minstrel tradition, this article develops the concept of “hemispheric blackface” to expand common understandings of the form. It historicizes Sambos’ deployment of blackface within an Andean performance tradition known as the Tundique, and then traces the way multiple hemispheric performance traditions can converge in a single blackface act. It underscores the amorphous nature of blackface itself and critically assesses its role in producing anti-blackness in the performance. Este ensayo analiza el uso de “blackface” (literalmente, cara negra: término que designa el uso de maquillaje negro cubriendo un rostro de piel más pálida) en la Danza de Caporales puesta en escena por el grupo Sambos Illimani con Sentimiento y Devoción que tuvo lugar en la fiesta de la Virgen de la Candelaria en Puno, Perú. Ya que el “blackface” es frecuentemente asociado a una tradición estadounidense del siglo XIX, este artículo desarrolla el concepto de “hemispheric blackface” (cara-negra hemisférica) para dar cuenta de elementos comunes en este género escénico.

  • Andean Music, the Left and Pan-Americanism: the Early History
    Andean Music, the Left, and Pan-Latin Americanism: The Early History1 Fernando Rios (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign) In late 1967, future Nueva Canción (“New Song”) superstars Quilapayún debuted in Paris amid news of Che Guevara’s capture in Bolivia. The ensemble arrived in France with little fanfare. Quilapayún was not well-known at this time in Europe or even back home in Chile, but nonetheless the ensemble enjoyed a favorable reception in the French capital. Remembering their Paris debut, Quilapayún member Carrasco Pirard noted that “Latin American folklore was already well-known among French [university] students” by 1967 and that “our synthesis of kena and revolution had much success among our French friends who shared our political aspirations, wore beards, admired the Cuban Revolution and plotted against international capitalism” (Carrasco Pirard 1988: 124-125, my emphases). Six years later, General Augusto Pinochet’s bloody military coup marked the beginning of Quilapayún’s fifteen-year European exile along with that of fellow Nueva Canción exponents Inti-Illimani. With a pan-Latin Americanist repertory that prominently featured Andean genres and instruments, Quilapayún and Inti-Illimani were ever-present headliners at Leftist and anti-imperialist solidarity events worldwide throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Consequently both Chilean ensembles played an important role in the transnational diffusion of Andean folkloric music and contributed to its widespread association with Leftist politics. But, as Carrasco Pirard’s comment suggests, Andean folkloric music was popular in Europe before Pinochet’s coup exiled Quilapayún and Inti-Illimani in 1973, and by this time Andean music was already associated with the Left in the Old World.

  • C 1992-219 a Nahuatl Interpretation of the Conquest
    In: Amaryll Chanady, Latin American Identity and Constructions of Difference, University of Minnesota Press, Minneapolis, Vol. 10, 1994, pp. 104-129. Chapter 6 A Nahuatl Interpretation of the Conquest: From the "Parousia" of the Gods to the "Invasion" Enrique Dussel (translated by Amaryll Chanady) In teteu inan in tetu ita, in Huehueteutl [Mother of the gods, Father of the gods, the Old God], lying on the navel of the Earth, enclosed in a refuge of turquoises. He who lives in the waters the color of a blue bird, he who is surrounded by clouds, the Old God, he who lives in the shadows of the realm of the dead, the lord of fire and time. -Song to Ometeótl, the originary being of the Aztec Tlamatinime1 I would like to examine the "meaning of 1492," which is nothing else but "the first experience of modem Europeans," from the perspective of the "world" of the Aztecs, as the conquest in the literal sense of the term started in Mexico. In some cases I will refer to other cultures in order to suggest additional interpreta- tions, although I am aware that these are only a few of the many possible examples, and that they are a mere "indication" of the problematic. Also, in the desire to continue an intercultural dia- logue initiated in Freiburg with Karl-Otto Apel in 1989, I will re- fer primarily to the existence of reflexive abstract thought on our continent.2 The tlamatini In nomadic societies (of the first level) or societies of rural plant- ers (like the Guaranis), social differentiation was not developed sufficiently to identify a function akin to that of the "philoso- pher", although in urban society this social figure acquires a dis- tinct profile.3 As we can read in Garcilaso de la Vega's Comenta- rios reales de los Incas: 104 105 Demás de adorar al Sol por dios visible, a quien ofrecieron sacrificios e hicieron grandes fiestas,..

  • Emotion, Ethics and Intimate Spectacle in Peruvian Huayno Music
    Andean Divas: Emotion, Ethics and Intimate Spectacle in Peruvian Huayno Music James Robert Butterworth Music Department Royal Holloway, University of London Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2014 1 Declaration of Authorship I, James Robert Butterworth, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ________________________ Date: ________________________ 2 Abstract This thesis examines the self-fashioning and public images of star divas that perform Peruvian huayno music. These divas are both multi-authored stories about a person as well as actually existing individuals, occupying a space between myth and reality. I consider how huayno divas inhabit and perform a range of subject positions as well as how fans and detractors fashion their own sense of self in relation to such categories of experience. I argue that the ways in which divas and fans inhabit and reject different subject positions carry strong emotional and ethical implications. Combining multi-sited fieldwork in the music industry with analyses of songs, media representations and public discourses, I locate huayno divas in the context of Andean migration and attendant narratives about suffering, struggle, empowerment and success. I analyse huayno performances as intimate spectacles, which generate acts of both empathy and voyeurism towards the genre’s star performers (Chapter 2). The tales of romantic suffering and moral struggle contained in huayno songs, which provide a key source of audience engagement, are brought to life through the voices and bodies of huayno divas (Chapter 3).

  • CALLAO, PERU Onboard: 1800 Saturday November 26
    Arrive: 0800 Tuesday November 22 CALLAO, PERU Onboard: 1800 Saturday November 26 Brief Overview: A traveler’s paradise, the warm arms of Peru envelope some of the world’s most timeless traditions and greatest ancient treasures! From its immense biodiversity, the breathtaking beauty of the Andes Mountains (the longest in the world!) and the Sacred Valley, to relics of the Incan Empire, like Machu Picchu, and the rich cultural diversity that populates the country today – Peru has an experience for everyone. Located in the Lima Metropolitan Area, the port of Callao is just a stone’s throw away from the dazzling sights and sounds of Peru’s capital and largest city, Lima. With its colorful buildings teeming with colonial architecture and verdant coastline cliffs, this vibrant city makes for a home-away-from-home during your port stay in Peru. Nearby: Explore Lima’s most iconic neighborhoods - Miraflores and Barranco – by foot, bike (PER 104-201 Biking Lima), and even Segway (PER 121-101 Lima by Segway). Be sure to hit up one of the local markets (PER 114-201 Culinary Lima) and try out Peruvian fare – you can’t go wrong with picarones (fried pumpkin dough with anis seeds and honey - pictured above), cuy (guinea pig), or huge ears of roast corn! Worth the travel: Cusco, the former capital of Incan civilization, is a short flight from Lima. From this ancient city, you can access a multitude of Andean wonders. Explore the ruins of the famed Machu Picchu, the city of Ollantaytambo – which still thrives to this day, Lake Titcaca and its many islands, and the culture of the Quechua people.
