    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.

    Musical exoticism and the Black Atlantic

    Cette journée d’étude organisée par le Centre de recherches sociologiques et politiques  de Paris (CRESPPA) vise à faire entrer en dialogue une série de travaux en sociologie, en anthropologie et en histoire interrogeant les relations entre musique et exotisme au cours du XXe siècle. La France, le Brésil, les États-Unis ont la part belle dans les travaux qui seront présentés. Néanmoins, plutôt que de définir un ou plusieurs pays comme objet, nous prendrons comme point de départ la proposition formulée par Paul Gilroy (2010 [1993] : 34) : « considérer l’Atlantique comme un objet d’analyse un et complexe, et développer sur cette base une perspective explicitement interculturelle et transnationale ».

    Questioning Spaces of Citizenship in Latin America and the Caribbean

    Latin American History Graduate Student Conference

    Scholars often invoke citizenship as an analytic frame to understand the history of Latin America and the Caribbean. While the concept can encompass a broad range of topics, this conference will focus on the spaces where individuals and groups come into contact with the institutions and symbols of the state. These spaces may be physical places, institutional settings, discursive realms, or other fora. In this graduate student conference, we will ask how such spaces of citizenship are constructed, delimited, and at times rejected, and how the terms of interaction and negotiation in these spaces are defined and re-defined.

Pela primeira vez, neste tipo de ações culturais, estarão em diálogo e confronto estudos, análises e perspetivas comparadas de Portugal e Brasil, no plano do seu património edificado, respeitando a temas desde os séculos XIX  (do Romantismo ao Ecletismo), até ao período do Modernismo e da Modernidade, em pleno século XX.
