  Situated Teaching

  18th issue of "Verbum et Lingua"

  Issue 18 of Verbum et Lingua will publish research and reflection articles on Situated Teaching. We welcome articles that focus on the various emerging pedagogical practices in language teaching that embrace experiential, reflective practice, situated projects,problem-based learning, etc. This paradigm presents new challenges for schools, teachers and learners and raises a series of questions: What consequences does this pedagogical proposal imply for teachers, both in their training and in their practice? What consequences does it represent for the learner? How does it transform the school in its relationship with society?

  Statues, memories and representations during the decolonial era

  Nakan journal, no.1. A cultural studies journal

  Nakan aims to impulse innovation in the epistemological field of cultural margins. To this effect, the journal’s first issue will focus on the following theme: “Statuary, Memories, and Representations in the Decolonial Era”. The objective is to elucidate the recent events that saw the degradation of statues representing historical figures linked to slavery or colonialism in multiple parts of the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, and the United States. This topical issue fits in a context-based reflection on margins spurred by such social movements as Black Lives Matter, among others. What could be the core motivations leading to such actions? The journal invites scholars to a scientific investigation on statuaries and colonial discourse, heritage, memory, myth, and coterminous questions.

  Thinking the Latin American right wings

  IVth International Congress

  The IV^th International Congress Thinking the Latin American right wings follows the three previous ones held in France (2014), Argentina (2016) and Brazil (2018), which have permitted the constitution of a community of researchers working on Latin American right-wings. Several specialists from different countries and disciplines have joined in this network, in order to promote projects and studies on this theme, and stimulated the development of new issues related to this political family. The use of various methodologies such as the analysis of political traditions and cultures, representations and imaginaries, identities, networks, sensitivities and memories have made it possible to consolidate a field of study that has become relevant to understand current Latin American political scene.

  The Franciscans in Mexico

  Five Centuries of Cultural Influence

  Generations of scholars have studied the multi-faceted experiences of the Franciscans in Mexico and the ways in which the Franciscan order shaped New Spain and the early Mexican republic. This conference examines the range of Franciscan influence and analyzes new scholarship that focuses on the multiple discourses with which friars engaged native peoples, creole populations, the vice-regal authorities, and other actors throughout the Spanish empire.  The conference brings together junior and senior scholars to study the long Franciscan experience in Mexico on the eve of the commemoration of the quincentenary of the Spanish — and thus the Franciscan— presence in Mexico.
