SUMMARY:A Lecture by Yvon Grenier: "A Canadian Affair: Pierre Trudeau\, Fidel Castro\, and the Cold War"
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the the UCLA Canadian Studies Program and the Program on Caribbean Studies\, the Department of Spanish & Portuguese welcomes you to a talk by Dr. Yvon Grenier\, Professor at St. Francis Xavier University in Canada. This lecture is titled “A Canadian Affair: Pierre Trudeau\, Fidel Castro\, and the Cold War” and will take place on Tuesday\, May 21st\, 2024\, at 4:00 PM in Lydeen Library (Rolfe Hall 4302). \nYvon Grenier is Professor and Chair of the Department of Political Science\, and Jules Léger Chair in the Humanities and Social Sciences\, at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish\, Nova Scotia. He is the author of numerous books on a wide range of subjects\, including art and politics in Latin America.  His current project examines Canadian foreign policy toward Cuba\, Mexico\, and Venezuela\, with a focus on human rights and the promotion of democratic values. \nProfessor Grenier seeks to explain the seemingly incongruous bromance between Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau (1968-1979\, 1980-84) and Fidel Castro\, in the context of Canadian-Cuban relations during the Cold War. We know that Trudeau was exceptionally praiseful of Castro and his policies\, even though he was obviously not a communist. Perhaps more importantly\, this friendship constitutes a heritage moment in Canadian history\, and one of the defining features of Trudeau’s time as Prime Minister. The case will be made that Trudeau’s “suspension of judgement\,” when talking about or visiting his friend\, was typical of him\, that is\, simultaneously idiosyncratic and to a critical extent\, in sync with his country. The lecture will also look at the key issue of friendship in international relations.

SUMMARY:ATTEND: The Marvelous Puppet Show: An Illuminated Lecture on Saturday April 20th
DESCRIPTION:In this illuminated lecture\, Professor Barbara Fuchs addresses Miguel de Cervantes’ surprisingly timely take on the trustworthiness of media. How does who we are shape what we see and believe? And how do the purveyors of media manipulate those distinctions? \nIn The Marvelous Puppet Show\, the author of Don Quixote gives us a story of charlatans who con an audience of nervous villagers. For better or for worse\, the short play invites us to become that audience. As it dissects the foibles of belief and belonging\, Cervantes’ uncannily prescient interlude poses uncomfortable questions for the here and now. This lecture interweaves scholarship presented by Dr. Fuchs with performances by actors from theatre dybbuk. \nThe lecture will take place in Shatto Chapel at First Congregational Church of Los Angeles and will be followed by a Q & A. \nThe event will take place on April 20th from 7 PM to 9 PM. Doors open at 6:30 PM. \nThis event is presented in partnership with Diversifying the Classics at UCLA and First Congregational Church of Los Angeles. \nTickets can be purchased at the following link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-marvelous-puppet-show-an-illuminated-lecture-tickets-861627309477 \nABOUT PROFESSOR BARBARA FUCHS: Barbara Fuchs is Distinguished Professor of Spanish and English at UCLA. She works on European cultural production from the late fifteenth through the seventeenth centuries\, with a special emphasis on literature and empire\, and on theater and performance in transnational contexts. She directs the UCLA “Diversifying the Classics” initiative\, which translates and promotes Hispanic classical theater\, as well as LA Escena\, Los Angeles’ biennial festival of Hispanic Classical Theater. Her most recent books are Theater of Lockdown: Digital and Distanced Performance in a Time of Pandemic (Bloomsbury/Methuen 2021) and\, with Robin Kello and Aina Soley\, the forthcoming anthology Golden Tongues: Adapting Hispanic Classical Theater in Los Angeles (Bloomsbury/Methuen 2024). \nABOUT THEATRE DYBBUK: theatre dybbuk seeks to illuminate universal human experience by exploring Jewish thought through lyrical theatrical performances and innovative educational encounters.

SUMMARY:Manifesto for a Feminist Nationalism; National and Gender Oppression in the Catalan Countries: Júlia Ojeda Caba (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya)
DESCRIPTION:This talk is based on the Manifesto for a Feminist Nationalism that Dr. Ojeda published on March 8\, 2023\, along with the Matriotes collective in the Catalan Countries. The manifesto claimed for a new intersectional perspective for the Catalan case that combines “the national oppression with the structural violence that patriarchy and global capitalism exert against subaltern individuals.” Basing on experiences from elsewhere—from the African-American and Latin feminists\, to indigenists from Abya Yala and Chinese activists against sexual harassment—\, the authors highlight the “predatory” nature of the Spanish nationalism\, and propose intersectional feminism as an emancipatory tool. They also highlight the key role that the Catalan language plays in the nation’s dynamics as it is considered the base of the Catalan national identity. Dr. Ojeda will also present her upcoming book Màtria o Barbàrie. 30 visions del feminisme català (‘Matriarchy or Barbarianism. 30 views of the Catalan feminism’)\, which gathers contributions from all Catalan Countries.

This lecture will take place on February 27\, 2024 from 1:00 to 3:00pm in Haines Hall 279. \nDuring the country’s dictatorship from 1973 to 1985\, Uruguayans suffered under crushing repression\, which included the highest rate of political incarceration in the world. Professor Sharnak will give a talk on her book\, Of Light and Struggle\, which explores how activists\, transnational social movements\, and international policymakers collaborated and clashed in response to this era and during the country’s transition back to democratic rule. \nAt the heart of the book is an examination of how the language and politics of human rights shifted over time as a result of conflict and convergence between local\, national\, and global dynamics. Sharnak examines the utility and limits of human rights language used by international NGOs\, such as Amnesty International\, and foreign governments\, such as the Carter administration. The book explores tensions between their responses to the dictatorship’s violations and the grassroots struggle for socioeconomic rights as well as new social movements around issues of race\, gender\, religion\, and sexuality in Uruguay. In exploring the interplay between debates taking place in activists’ living rooms\, presidential administrations\, and international halls of power\, the book uncovers the messy and contingent process through which human rights became a powerful discourse for social change. By looking at this pivotal period in international history\, Of Light and Struggle suggests that discussions around the small country on the Río de la Plata had global implications for the possibilities and constraints of human rights well beyond Uruguay’s shores.

SUMMARY:Attend: “Intermediaries\, Middle Grounds\, Middle Sea” Mediterranean Seminar 2024 Winter Workshop (9 & 10 February: UCLA)
DESCRIPTION:The Mediterranean Seminar and UCLA’s CMRS Center for Early Global Studies present the Mediterranean Seminar Winter 2024 Workshop\,  “Intermediaries\, Middle Grounds\, Middle Sea” held on 9 & 10 February at UCLA. \nAs the theater of engagement and integration of communities originating on the shores or from the hinterlands of Africa\, Asia\, and Europe\, the Mediterranean region served as a dynamic center of interaction and exchange from Antiquity through early modernity. Even as it began to lose political and economic centrality\, it has remained a zone of engagement of diverse peoples and cultures into the Modern era. This engagement is both the product and the catalyst of continuous dialectical processes of translation\, transculturation\, colonization\, and syncretism across the gamut of human experience and expression: in art\, literature\, language\, music\, religion\, media\, material culture\, and folk practices\, as well as in social\, economic\, political\, and institutional dynamics. \nThe Winter 2024 Mediterranean Seminar Workshop focuses on the agents (the “go-betweens”) and the currents (the “in-betweens”) of such dialectics. Typically invisible or\, at best\, marginalized in traditional historiographies and disciplines\, intermediaries and middle grounds (synthetic texts\, translations\, objects\, institutions and strategies\, and the individuals and communities who were their agents and products) are crucial to the understanding of the history and culture of the Mediterranean\, and of the historical processes which gave rise to many aspects of the modern world. \nDraft Program (subject to change) \nFriday 9 February \nWorkshop Paper #1“Theater of Conquest: Sovereignty and Territorial Expansion into Africa (1492-1530)” [abstract]• Marta Albalá-Pelegrín (Associate Professor of Modern Languages\, Cal Poly Pomona)Moderator: Sharon Kinoshita (Literature: UC Santa Cruz)Respondent: Toby Yuen-Gen Liang (History & Philology\, Academia Sinica\, Taiwan) \nWorkshop Paper #2“Treasonous Translations: Resisting Roman Hegemony in Medieval Armenia”[abstract]• Sergio LaPorta (Associate Dean of Arts & Humanities\, CSU Fresno)Moderator: Brian A.

SUMMARY:2024 Distinguished Alumni Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Please join us in honoring the 2024 UCLA Spanish & Portuguese Distinguished Alumni Lecture Award recipient Dr. Roberto Cantú\, Professor Emeritus at California State University\, Los Angeles. \nThe 2024 Distinguished Alumni Lecture topic is “Alfredo Véa’s Gods Go Begging: The War Novel as a Work of Art”. Gods Go Begging consists of fourteen chapters arranged according to temporal and global displacements\, framed within the years 1996 (San Francisco\, California); 1967-1973 (Vietnam-Hong Kong); 1978 (Alexandria\, Louisiana); and back to 1996 (San Francisco). The novel traced as a circle\, thus as the World–opens with a crime in a San Francisco hill\, investigated by Chicano defense attorney Jesse Pasadoble\, followed by flashbacks to Vietnam\, and to vivid descriptions of a quintessential battle on a hill near the Laotian border. War trauma thus surges as the novel’s central theme\, with an extended subtext laced and blended according to a calendar of seasons (Winter\, Spring)\, and to ancient Greek myths and drama (Persephone\, Aristophanes). \nThe UCLA Spanish & Portuguese Department will host the Distinguished Alumni lecture on Wednesday\, February 7\, 2024 at 4:30 PM at the UCLA Faculty Club. The lecture will be held in the Hacienda Room.

SUMMARY:Attend: "¡Fenomenal! Rompeforma"
DESCRIPTION:Fenomenal\, Rompeforma 1989-1996\, is a documentary about Rompeforma: Marató n de Baile\, Performance & Visuales\, the experimental Latinx dance and performance festival that took place in Puerto Rico from 1989-1996. Fenomenal\, Rompeforma 1989-1996 features dozens of performances and commentary by many current leaders of the field\, and some who have sadly passed. Fenomenal intends to inspire younger generations of Latinx artists and cultural activists by providing evidence of the rich creative and artistic contributions of Latinx to the American avant-garde. Fenomenal preserves\, and makes available the repertoire of a generation of Latinx experimental dance\, performance\, and curation often overlooked and/or forgotten by historians\, scholars\, and practitioners in the field\, to confront the elusive amnesia and appropriation by mainstream players\, with respect to the(unexpected) work of Latinx experimental dance and performance artists. \nThis event is sponsored by the UCLA Program on Caribbean Studies and World Arts & Cultures/Dance. The screening will take place on Monday\, January 29\, 2024 from 2:30 PM – 5:00 PM Kaufman Hall\, Rm. 200 and will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers\, Merián Soto and Viveca Vasquez.
