SUMMARY:El poder visual de las 2000 nuevas palabras del español
DESCRIPTION:Los más de 2000 vocablos incorporados al Diccionario de la lengua española expanden nuestro imaginario visual y simbólico. Las palabras no solo nombran el mundo\, sino que también lo construyen visualmente. El libro Las 2000 nuevas palabras del español (según los académicos de la lengua) (Madrid\, 2025) no solo documenta esta transformación\, sino que invita a reflexionar sobre el poder de las palabras para encuadrar\, iluminar y redefinir nuestra fotografía / percepción del mundo. Te invitamos a descubrirlas y a sumergirte en este diálogo entre lengua e imagen. \nGelsys García Lorenzo es doctora en Filología Hispánica por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid (2016). Tiene un máster en ELE por la UCM (2015) y otro máster por la Universidad Francisco de Vitoria (2017). Se desempeña desde 2022 como Lecturer en la Universidad de California en Los Ángeles (UCLA).

SUMMARY:Have you listened to the sounds of birds? Timucua traditional spiritual practices and Spanish religious suppression
DESCRIPTION:The 1613 Confessionario en lengua castellana y timuquana con unos consejos para animar al penitente is one of the earliest books ever published in a Native language of the United States. It is composed of a Spanish language confessional with a parallel set of questions and answers in Timucua\, the Native language of much of North Florida. However\, it has been noted since at least the 1970s that the confessional contains a very significant section on Native religious practices in a section entitled “Superstitions.” Prior historical and anthropological research has cited the 1613 Confessionario extensively\, but based solely on translations of the Spanish side of the text. Based on new developments in the study of the Timucua language\, it is now possible to construct a new translation of the Native side of this book.

SUMMARY:"Approaching dialectal variation in the context of Chuj\, a Mayan language"
DESCRIPTION:Over thirty Mayan languages are spoken in Mesoamerica and many of these exhibit considerable internal diversity. In fact\, dialectal differences can be so pronounced that mutual intelligibility is affected among speakers of the same language. This talk describes and reflects on the benefits of using a community-based approach for understanding dialectal variation\, with a focus on Chuj. While Chuj is generally recognized as having two main dialects\, the extent of their differences is far from completely understood\, and the prestige dialect has received a disproportionate amount of attention. We focus on one useful method that addresses these issues: documenting versions of the same narrative in different dialects. We show how our method can actively engage Chuj community members from all dialectal communities in order to (a) enrich the understanding of cultural and linguistic diversity in the Mayan context\, (b) expand resources available for dialects that have received less attention\, and (c) shed light on which grammatical patterns exhibit substantial variation. Furthermore\, we argue that this approach is desirable in the long-term\, since it incorporates capacity building within the community.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Dream: Undocumented Experiences and the Longing for the “Good Life”
DESCRIPTION:Talk also available via Zoom: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/t47CbdAGQSuAmAKxJUYQpQ \nThe American Dream or the promise of “the good life” has long been portrayed as the driving force behind Latin American migration to the United States—a promise of upward mobility\, economic stability\, and a better future. However\, the hopes for individual and social upward mobility\, along with the prospects of a better future for immigrants pursuing their dreams\, have been overshadowed by criminalizing immigration policies transforming the dream into what Lauren Berlant describes as “cruel optimism”—a hope that remains unattainable and ultimately harms those who pursue it. This presentation examines the affective work immigrants do to sustain livable lives beyond and within the fantasies of the American Dream by engaging with two distinct yet complementary works: AMAME (Archive of Audiovisual Migrant Memory)\, a transnational video-letter archive curated by the Ecuadorian artistic collective Ñukanchik People\, and non-fiction piece The Undocumented Americans (2020) by Ecuadorian American writer Karla Cornejo Villavicencio. AMAME consists of homemade video recordings created by Ecuadorian migrants and their families between the 1970s and early 2000s as forms of intimate correspondence across borders. In contrast\, The Undocumented Americans\, an award-winning literary work disrupts dominant discourses that typically depict undocumented immigrants either as deserving citizens or as criminals to focus instead on the ambivalent nature of longing for “a good life”. This presentation will explore how both works shed light on how undocumented migrants navigate the expectations of migration as a path to the “good life” through the personal\, the ordinary\, and the everyday. \nMaría José Gutiérrez is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Latin American and Latinx Literature and Culture at Oxford College of Emory University. She earned her doctoral degree from the University of California\, Davis\, in 2024\, where she began collaborating with Humanizing Deportation\, a public humanities project and digital archive of self-authored stories by Latin American migrants. Since 2018\, she has contributed to the project by facilitating the production of several digital narratives—testimonial audiovisual shorts—created with deported migrants in Mexico City and Ecuador. Her research explores the emotional dimensions of migration from Ecuador and South America to the United States from a humanistic perspective\, centering migrants’ voices through community-based literary and artistic practices. Talk presented by Professor María José Gutiérrez Jiménez (Oxford College of Emory University).

SUMMARY:Jarchar\, or the Art of Crossing in Yuri Herrera’s Señales que precederán al fin del mundo
DESCRIPTION:Talk also available by Zoom: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/chd4NGozQ7SRYZGIjGws9A \nCharlie Geyer (Ph.D.\, Vanderbilt University) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Arizona. He specializes in the comparative study of Latin American and US Latinx literatures and cultures\, with a focus on Border Studies and the aesthetics and politics of bordering in a hemispheric context. His current book manuscript\, titled Disturbing Beauty: Border Crossing in Latin American and Latinx Imaginaries\, examines border construction and marginality through the framework of abjection\, and explores the utopian political imaginaries that are mobilized through the aesthetic act of locating beauty within abject spaces and bodies. His publications can be found in Revista de Estudios Hispánicos\, Chasqui: Revista de Literatura Latinoamericana\, The Comparatist\, CENTRO: Journal for the Center of Puerto Rican Studies\, and the Afro-Hispanic Review. \nAbstract: \nIn this talk\, I examine Yuri Herrera’s novel “Señales que precederán al fin del mundo” to explore the dual role of aesthetics in 1) conceptualizing the US/Mexico border and 2) imagining its remaking. Departing from the anthropological work of Jason de León\, I contend that the border between Mexico and the United States is both a sublime object and a scene of unthinkable abject violence\, and I argue that the border-crossing voyage of Makina—the protagonist of Señales—from Mexico to the US may also be read as a journey into the sublime and the abject. The tension between these two aesthetic modes of reading the border reaches its peak at the novel’s end\, in which Makina’s “final destination” remains indeterminate\, and the reader is confronted with either: 1) the death of the protagonist (the abject annihilation shared by many of the undocumented people who cross the border) or 2) the sublime possibility of rebirth and regeneration. This duality is also represented in Herrera’s neologism “jarchar\,” a term which appears throughout the novel and that refers to a bicultural art form born in another border space: the medieval jarchas of the Iberian Peninsula. Engaging with authors and theorists of Latinx diasporas such as Gloria Anzaldúa and Miguel Algarín\, I argue that “Señales” functions as a contemporary jarcha: a work whose form itself bears the traces of the violent colonial history that produced the US-Mexico Borderlands\, and which simultaneously articulates the possibility of rebirth—of a new subjectivity and a new border politics that could spring forth from the colonial wound that is the US-Mexico border.

SUMMARY:2025 Distinguished Alumni Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Note: This event is RSVP only \nPlease join us in honoring the 2025 UCLA Spanish & Portuguese Distinguished Alumni Lecture Award recipient Dr. Jason Rothman\, Professor at Lancaster University\, U.K.. \nThe 2025 Distinguished Alumni Lecture topic is “Behavioral and Brain Evidence for the Systematicity of Individual Differences in Heritage Language Bilingualism.” Heritage Language (HL) bilinguals—native learners of a language spoken at home that is not the shared\, common language of the larger society in which they grow up—acquire their HLs naturalistically in early childhood. Despite HL bilinguals being native speakers\, studies over the past three decades typically document significant differences to L1-dominant homeland users as well as high degrees of variation at the individual heritage bilingual speaker level. While individual differences are also present across L1-dominant users of language—e.g. not all native speakers of American English speak the same way—the spectrum of individual differences in HL bilinguals is significantly wider. Although Individual differences are governed by a unique set of dynamic variables we do not yet fully understand\, shifting focus to understanding individual differences better has great theoretical and practical value. The present talk revolves around two central points falling out from investigating the systematicity behind individual differences: (i) the determinism of various internal and external factors—as well as their interactions—contributing to the acquisition and processing of HLs specifically is not random and\, as such\, is crucial for understanding language in the mind more generally and (ii) related research significantly questions the utility\, if not appropriateness\, of using so-called monolingual comparisons as a default baseline for bilingual research. With the above in mind\, the present talk\, offers an introductory landscape of HLstudies that endeavors to contextualize\, investigate and capitalize on the theoretical value of understanding individual differences. In doing so\, I will refer to current research from my lab with several language pairings\, across various age ranges and geographical areas. Given the context of this talk\, I will especially highlight behavioral (acquisition) and brain (processing) data on grammatical gender in Spanish as a HL in the US. As we might expect\, there is no one-size-fits-all (set of) variable(s) that is explanatory for everything in all HL contexts. Rather\, as we shouldexpect\, the (weighting and/or interaction of) variables that regress to cover individual differences depend on what (the domain of language)\, who (the profiles of HL bilinguals) and where (e.g.\, important differences of location that delimit exposure/usage) we are investigating. This ensuing discussion sheds light on multiple levels of trending differences: between so-called monolinguals to HL bilinguals\, between distinct populations of HL bilinguals\, e.g.\, European to North American to Asian contexts\, and intra-group differences across individual HL bilinguals traditionally studied as a single aggregate.  \nThe UCLA Spanish & Portuguese Department will host the Distinguished Alumni lecture on Monday\, February 3\, 2025 at 4:00 PM at the UCLA Faculty Club. The lecture will be held in the Hacienda Room. RSVP Only.
