From: J. Elizabeth Clark (lclark@lagcc.cuny.edu)
Date: Mon Apr 07 2003 - 00:41:37 EDT


Please consider this invitation to submit an abstract on HIV/AIDS for the
2003 The International Colloquium for Vernacular, Hispanic, Historical,
American and Folklore Studies which will take place in Puebla, Mexico from
9 to 12 October 2003.

Panels on HIV/AIDS as a theme in literature and culture of the Americas
(i.e. North American Latino/a and Latin American) are currently being
organized, and papers from all perspectives are welcome. Topics may
include: a single writer, a comparative study, film studies, music
studies, popular culture studies, and historical pieces which study
HIV/AIDS from the perspective of the Americas.

The Vernacular Congress began as a cultural section of the Congress of the
Americas, which itself was established after the 1994 economic crisis made
it difficult for Latin American academics to attend meetings in the United
States. The 2001 Congress of the Americas attracted more than 900 papers.

Abstracts in English or Spanish, of 500-word maximum length, will be
accepted until May 12, 2003. Please include a brief biography including
current academic affiliation. Please mail all abstracts and questions to
the Area Chair: J. Elizabeth Clark, lclark@lagcc.cuny.edu

Please feel free to forward this call to interested colleagues.
Thanks-looking forward to seeing you in Puebla.
