    Envisioning Latin America: Power and Representation in audiovisual (re)productions

    Forma Revista d'Estudis Comparatius. Art, Literatura, Pensament

    This issue seeks to critically address power structures in audiovisual (re)productions in and from Latin America and discuss how these play a role in the societal construction and representation of individual and collective identities, the ‘us’ and the ‘other’. By doing so, it aims at understanding how these representations – and broader discourses associated therewith – can be critically examined through media productions (cinema, television, radio, photography etc.) and their use as historical sources.

    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.

    90 years of Brazilian Modernisme

    Les objectifs de cet évènement sont à la fois de signaler l’éclosion du modernisme brésilien lors de la Semaine d’art moderne de février 1922 au théâtre municipal de São Paulo (première manifestation artistique collective et publique de l’histoire culturelle brésilienne) ; et d’intensifier le dialogue Brésil-France en suscitant la coopération entre les intellectuels et artistes de ces deux pays. En intégrant la dimension émancipatrice de l’attitude de ces modernistes, l’impact et la répercussion de leur origine et de leurs influences externes, en particulier des avant-gardes européennes qui ont fertilisé tous les événements artistiques de l’époque, nous avons conçu une commémoration des 90 ans du modernisme brésilien sur sol européen, en particulier en France, pays qui a clairement contribué avec cette génération d’artistes brésiliens du début du XXe siècle.
