Call for Papers
Contested Territories: Conflict, Violence, and the Body
University of California, Riverside
Saturday, November 14, 2009
The graduate students of the department of Hispanic Studies at the
University of California, Riverside invite individual papers or panels
for our conference Contested Territories: Conflict, Violence, and the
Body.
The contrast between cultures and social movements is apparent in
Latin America, the Caribbean, and Iberian Peninsula. There are various
discourses that examine how conflict and violence have an intimate
relationship with the body, as well as how cultural encounters create
contested territories. Part of these discourses include, but are not
limited to: aspects of transaction and exchange, trauma, and
occupation of physical and abstract spaces.
We encourage panels or papers related to linguistics, literature,
transatlantic studies, performance studies, film and video, chicano/a
studies, ethnic and indigenous studies, religious studies, gender
studies, and queer studies. Papers may use an interdisciplinary
approach to the arts, issues of gender, and conceptions of identity.
Presentations can be in English, Spanish, or Portuguese.
Abstracts should be sent in Microsoft Word format (.doc) and should
not exceed 250 words in length. The e-mail should include the title of
the presentation, your name and institutional affiliation, and phone
number. Presentations should not exceed eight pages (20 minutes in
reading length).
Abstracts and questions may be sent by e-mail to:
UCRHispanicStudiesConference at gmail.com
Committee members: Yulder Daza, William Flores, Filiberto Mares,
Rachel Neff, and Noé Ruvalcaba
