It is possible to assume, however, that many artists and intellectuals, as well as their audiences, did not experience politics and pleasures as necessarily opposed to each other. Moreover, the pleasures of popular culture can, and often do, create the conditions for social change. This panel seeks to examine the points of contact between, on the one hand, serious ideological and political platforms, and, on the other hand, the lighter spaces of popular culture. More specifically, the panel aims to explore how, during the first four decades of the twentieth century, the spaces of mass and popular culture provided opportunities for women’s involvement in the public arena. We invite submissions that look at these points of contact between hard politics and productive pleasures in the fields of popular literature, mass culture, music and performance, fashion… Please send 300 word abstracts by email attachment to Pepa Anastasio and Nuria Cruz-Cámara before September 30, 2012: Deadline: September 30, 2012 Please include with your abstract: Name and Affiliation Email address and Telephone number A/V requirements (if any; $10 handling fee with registration) The 2013 NeMLA convention continues the Association's tradition of sharing innovative scholarship in an engaging and generative location.

The poems that Sor Juana wrote for special occasions (birthdays, funerals, religious feasts, coronations, and the like) have been considered inconsequential by literary historians; but from a socio-historical perspective, George Antony Thomas argues they hold a particular interest for scholars of colonial Latin American literature. For Thomas, these compositions establish a particular set of rhetorical strategies, which he labels the author's 'political aesthetics.' He demonstrates how this body of the famous nun's writings, previously overlooked by scholars, sheds new light on Sor Juana's interactions with individuals in colonial society and throughout the Spanish Empire.
