| AILCFH Circular extra Sept 2012-09-19 Estimada membresía, Esta circular tiene por objeto informarles que el plazo para inscribirse en la Conferencia de la AILCFH se ha ampliado hasta el 1o de octubre. También, las organizadoras han encontrado que hubo un problema técnico con la respuesta de confirmación de las inscripciones y por eso algunas personas no recibieron un mensaje confirmando su registro. El problema ha sido solucionado y en adelante todos recibirán su comprobante. También, adjunto unas convocatorias que tienen plazo del 30 de septiembre: Call for Papers 1. Vértigo espiritual: anticlericalismo, espiritismo y librepensamiento en España (1850-1936) (Roundtable) 44th Annual Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA) March 21-24, 2013 Boston, Massachusetts Host Institution: Tufts University Session Description and Submission Information Esta mesa redonda se centrará en el estudio de las representaciones literarias de ideologías que "contrastan" con el catolicismo en la España del siglo XIX y principios del XX. Se propone un debate que analice un amplio espectro de posibilidades alejadas de la religiosidad al uso. Las presentaciones abordaran el estudio de discursos que plasmen posturas como el laicismo, el librepensamiento, el anticlericalismo, el ateísmo, la masonería o el espiritismo. Resulta crucial para el éxito de esta mesa redonda que se incluya una perspectiva de género revisando propuestas alternativas o transgresoras de la espiritualidad por parte de la mujer en este período. Enviar CV y resumen de 150-200 palabras antes del 30 de septiembre a la atención de: ana_maria.marcos@uconn.edu Deadline: September 30, 2012 Please include with your abstract: Name and Affiliation Email address Postal address Telephone number The 2013 NeMLA convention continues the Association's tradition of sharing innovative scholarship in an engaging and generative location.

During this year’s conference, we would like to emphasize an interdisciplinary dialogue that addresses the cultural and political agency of civil grassroots movements across the Americas.

We would like to pay special attention to this emerging phenomenon by fostering workshops and/or panels on any aspect of the Performance of Politics in the Public Sphere. Likewise OLAC would like to promote a public arena where we can reinvigorate the historical role played by the academy as a democratic actor in contemporary public debate. All papers and panels are welcome but we will give special consideration to proposals/panels promoting discussion in the following areas: · Ethics and Aesthetics: New Politics for Citizenship and Human Rights in Latin America. · Sustainability, Culture and Environmental Issues: New Initiatives in the Americas. · Cuba in the 21st Century. · Any aspect of the African Diaspora in Latin America and the Caribbean, since the month of February is dedicated to Afro-American history. · Paulo Freire’s Pedagogical and Cultural Legacy in the Era of the Wall-Street-ization of Latin America. · Women’s Agency in the Public Sphere · Ethnicity, Nationalism, and the State. • Keynote speaker: Professor Mercedes Prieto Noguera, Anthropologist and Coordinator of FLACSO Ecuador’s Humanities program, will speak on her work with Quichua and Amazonean indigenous women of Ecuador. • Special invited guests: Professor Luisa Yara Campos, Professor of Pedagogy and Director of Cuba’s Museum on the Literary Campaign of 1961.
