    UPDATE: Keynote speakers

    The Latin American and Caribbean Studies Center
    of the State University of New York at Stony Brook
    presents

    Refiguring the Americas: Disciplines, Genres, Histories

    A Multi-disciplinary Graduate Student Conference

    Friday, April 19th, 2002

    Keynote speakers:
    Rhonda Cobham-Sander, Departments of English and Black Studies, Amherst
    College
    Enrique Mayer, Department of Anthropology, Yale University

    This conference seeks to bring together scholars and researchers of Latin
    America and the Caribbean to promote dialogue across a variety of
    disciplines. In an era of the war on drugs, NAFTA, Vicente Fox and Ricky
    Martin, the goal is to consider from many sides and many positions the
    past, present and future of the Americas. Particular emphasis will be
    placed on panels that break down disciplinary and geographic boundaries in
    order to examine the unities and ruptures within the Americas. We welcome
    both presentation of new research as well as meditation on the
    methodological and theoretical underpinnings of past and future research.

    Abstracts and papers are welcome in English, Spanish, Portuguese or
    French.

    Some of the panels envisioned include (but are not limited to):
     Gender Regimes and Sexuality
     Religious and Social Movements in the Americas
     Culture Industries, Commercial Cultures
     The Construction of Race and National Identity
     Changing Demographics, Moving Territories
     Global Technologies, Local Identities
     New Issues, New Problems, New Methodologies
     (Neo)Colonialisms

    We are open to any papers focusing on Latin American and Caribbean
    history, literature, culture, society, politics or economics.
