Join us on Friday, March 27, 2020, for a forum addressing the topics of migrations, dislocations, and political disruption in contemporary Latin American literature.
Escrituras Migrantes: Writings on Unhomeliness
Organized by Ariana Huberman
This forum will address the topics of migrations, dislocations, and political disruption in contemporary Latin American literature. The authors featured in this forum engage with the current general sense of disconnect between geographic space, culture, and identity that expatriates, immigrants, and exiles’ experience. Their writing deals with dislocations and alienations—geographic, cultural, linguistic, affective—in unique ways. They are joined, however, by the space from which they wrestle with notions of foreignness and locality to examine the ways in which belonging, citizenship, and ownership and can be, and has been understood in the past 50 years.
Supported by the John B. Hurford ‘60 Center for the Arts and Humanities, the Department of Spanish, the Distinguished Visitors Program, the Latin American, Iberian, and Latino Studies at Haverford College, Latin American, Iberian, and Latino Studies at Bryn Mawr College, and the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship.
