MEXICO MEETING OF PCA/ACA AT 4th ANNUAL MEETING,
CONGRESS OF THE AMERICAS: BE THERE!
September 29 - October 2, 1999
Here is one of the best-kept secrets of the Popular Culture Movement, the
annual
meeting in Puebla, Mexico on the campus of The University of the Americas of
Cholula-Puebla. This lovely campus features an American-style football team
(national
champs for three years) and a school that will look familiar to any
Californian. However,
these annual meetings bring scholars from all over the Americas to share
analysis of
books, films, radio, images of men and women; another strand looks at NAFTA
and
the developing economic and political situation for the Americas. Some
papers are
in English and some are in Spanish; plenary sessions have simultaneous
translations
via ear pieces. The local people are friendly and hospitable.
Registration includes all snacks, wine and cheese hours, and a full banquet
under the
stars--plus a PCA/ACA luncheon. The weather in Puebla at this time of year
is wonderful. Side trips and tours are available and will be in the final
literature for the conference.
Papers related to Latin and US topics are welcomed. Comparative studies are
especially
welcomed. Be sure that a really interesting paper, whatever the topic, will
receive a
thoughtful response from the assembled scholars.
There will be a Mexican Premiere of the film OLYMPIA (1998), a delightful,
small-budget theatrical film which focuses on the tensions between the US and
the Mexican cultures. The Producer, Director, and female star will be present
for the premiere and for the panel to discuss the film the next day--under the
guidance of Beatriz Badikian.
Ray and Pat Browne will be in attendance as will the Presidents of the PCA and
ACA.
A special luncheon for PCA/ACA registrants will be held on Saturday at noon,
followed
by opportunities to tour and visit. (Luncheon is included in the
registration.)
