Wednesday, September 23, 2026 We hope you will join us on the land for an afternoon of shared practice, learning, and exchange. Massena Campus4:00 pm – 6:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 Wíhaŋble S’a Center’s Fall Open House at the Massena Campus is a bi-yearly event for all of our Bard community that brings together collaborations with nonhuman beings through hide work, shared meals, and conversation on the land. We are an American Indian-led research center grounded in Lakȟóta knowledge systems, where learning happens through relation, responsibility, and community. These practices form the root of our approach to developing ethical AI tools, grounding rigorous technological research in land-based knowledge.
Our Open House supports our college community by providing structured student training and a site for faculty engagement with Wíhaŋble S’a Center’s ongoing initiatives, including, but not limited to, the development of Lakȟóta Dream Language, a neuro-AI storytelling platform that enables interactive exploration of dream narratives.
This year’s events center on a symposium with scholars and artists who consider present-day realities of technological entwinement and advance new modes of ethical engagement within the context of Indigenous methodologies. The Fall 2026 program features practitioners such as Nathan Young, Antoine Bellamare, Mikhel Proulx, Olivia Camfield, Wills Brewer, Bradley Dry, asinnajaq, and more.

Online Event1:30 pm EST/GMT-5 Join us for an event featuring Giannina Braschi—poet, novelist, essayist, and pioneer of Spanglish in literature. Professor Patricia López-Gay will be in dialogue with Braschi. In an age saturated by dystopian narratives that often reinforce the status quo, Braschi’s hybrid and radical work in Spanish, English, and Spanglish opens up new ways of thinking about identity, power, and the future. Her groundbreaking contributions have been widely recognized with numerous awards, and she is celebrated as one of the most influential voices in contemporary Latinx literature.
This dialogue is part of the A Cartography for the Future online speaking series, which engages with creative and critical practices that respond to the prevailing sense that we are witnessing the end of the world (as we know it.) From ecological collapse and pandemics to war and the breakdown of analog life, we ask how storytelling can move us beyond catastrophe, offering new imaginaries of feeling and forms of connection, survival, and renewal.
Conducted in Spanish. Organized by Professor López-Gay. Co-sponsored by Spanish Studies, and LAIS. Open to the Bard Spanish-speaking community. To RSVP and to access relevant reading materials for this event, please contact Prof. López-Gay at [email protected]

Online Event1:30 pm – 3:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 Join us for an event featuring Mar Gómez Glez—novelist, playwright, essayist, and regular contributor to "El País", one of Spain’s leading newspapers. Professor Patricia López-Gay will be in dialogue with Gómez Glez. Drawing from her writing, where the motif of the mushroom becomes a vehicle to imagine metamorphosis, resilience, and interconnection, we will explore storytelling through literature and the arts as a means to reshape how we relate to each other and to our environment.
This dialogue is part of the "A Cartography for the Future" online speaking series, which engages with creative and critical practices that respond to the prevailing sense that we are witnessing the end of the world (as we know it). From ecological collapse and pandemics to war and the breakdown of analog life, we ask how storytelling can move us beyond catastrophe, offering new imaginaries of feeling and forms of connection, survival, and renewal.
Conducted in Spanish. Organized by Professor López-Gay. Co-sponsored by Spanish Studies and Experimental Humanities. Open to the Bard Spanish-speaking community.

William Egginton, Decker Professor in the Humanities, Chair of the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures, and Director of the Alexander Grass Humanities Institute, Johns Hopkins University Olin Humanities, Room 1025:30 pm – 7:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 In this lecture I explore the two major physical theories of the twentieth century, relativity and quantum mechanics, by way of what we could call their poetic and philosophical foundations. Key to this approach will be the idea that reality isn’t an unfiltered picture of what’s out there, but rather a complex human construct, and that because of that we need essentially human means to understand it, among them literature and philosophy. In this light I argue that philosophers like Plato and Kant, and poets like Dante and Borges, are key to understanding the ideas of Albert Einstein and Werner Heisenberg.
William Egginton is the Decker Professor in the Humanities, Chair of the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures, and Director of the Alexander Grass Humanities Institute at Johns Hopkins University. He is the author of multiple books, including How the World Became a Stage (2003), Perversity and Ethics (2006), A Wrinkle in History (2007), The Philosopher’s Desire (2007), The Theater of Truth (2010), In Defense of Religious Moderation (2011), The Man Who Invented Fiction: How Cervantes Ushered in the Modern World (2016), The Splintering of the American Mind (2018), and The Rigor of Angels (2023), which was named to several best of 2023 lists, including The New York Times and The New Yorker. He is co-author with David Castillo of Medialogies: Reading Reality in the Age of Inflationary Media (2017) and What Would Cervantes Do? Navigating Post-Truth with Spanish Baroque Literature (2022). His most recent book, on the philosophical, psychoanalytic, and surrealist dimensions of the work of Chilean director Alejandro Jodorowsky, was published in January 2024.

John Burns, Associate Professor of Spanish, Bard College Olin Humanities, Room 2015:00 pm – 6:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 What challenges and opportunities does translating a play from Spanish into English present? This talk will focus on the case of Troya tropical by contemporary Cuban playwright Gleyvis Coro Montanet, a play written largely in rhyming octosyllabic verse, which I am translating for an anthology focusing on contemporary Cuban literature that draws on references to Ancient Greece and Rome. We will specifically look at the ways in which the piece, which is brimming with references to Cuban literature and history, playfully reimagines the Trojan War in the context of contemporary Cuba.

Yafrainy Familia Olin Humanities, Room 1025:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 In the Western imagination, the Caribbean has often been configured as a feminized landscape—its territories likened to a woman’s body that is sexually available for conquest and exploitation. Similarly, Black and Indigenous Caribbean women’s bodies have been historically configured as sites of extraction, subjected to colonial fantasies of production and reproduction. Focusing on the island of Hispaniola as a case study, this talk traces the role of Western travel narratives, illustrated maps, and nationalist cultural production in shaping these racialized and gendered spatial tropes. Through literary and visual analysis, Familia considers a genealogy of Western-masculine narratives that have shaped enduring colonial visions of the Caribbean, from the writings of Christopher Columbus and the cartographic work of Henry Popple to the literary texts of Francisco Javier Angulo Guridi. She then situates the work of contemporary Dominican visual artist Firelei Báez as a powerful counter-narrative, arguing that Báez’s series of map paintings strategically reckon with the violence of these historical archives, while illuminating the spatial strategies Caribbean women and femmes have employed to disrupt this colonial geographical imagination.

Dr. Ethel Barja Cuyutupa Olin Humanities, Room 1025:30 pm – 6:30 pm EST/GMT-5 This presentation will discuss twenty-first century poetry by two Afro-Hispanophone Caribbean poets, Mayra Santos-Febres from Puerto Rico and Soleida Ríos from Cuba, to underline how their poetry imagines futures under threatening circumstances such as forced displacement and anti-blackness. How does the longue durée of Black resistance influence twenty-first-century poetics?
Dr. Ethel Barja Cuyutupa will present her research, which takes place through an interdisciplinary approach in between history and poetics and in dialogue with scholars interested in how lyric language is historically inflicted and intertwined with social justice and Blackness. The intertwining of imagery of long-lasting Black resistance and the emotional and political dimensions of the posthuman lyric subject ensures the poetics of maroonage exposes transhistorical genealogies of hope.
Ethel Barja is a scholar, educator, and award-winning poet originally from the Andes, Peru. She holds a PhD in Hispanic Studies from Brown University and an MA in Hispanic literary Studies from the University of Illinois at Chicago. She is an Assistant Professor in the Modern Languages and Intercultural Studies Department at Salisbury University. Her research focuses on transnational and interdisciplinary approaches to Hispanophone Caribbean, Andean, and Latinx literature, integrating critical Indigenous studies, Afro-poetics, gender, and posthuman studies. She is the author of the monograph titled Poesía e insurrección: La Revolución cubana en el imaginario latinoamericano. Her poetry collections include Insomnio Vocal, Hope is Tanning on a Nudist Beach, and La Muda.

Dr. Juan Diego Mariátegui Olin Humanities, Room 1025:30 pm – 6:30 pm EST/GMT-5 Puerto Rico emerged from the 1950s transformed. By 1952, governor Luis Muñoz Marín inaugurated the Free Associated State, a new legal status that ostensibly ended Puerto Rico’s colonial subordination as a “non-incorporated territory” of the United States. Another key development in these heady years was the Korean War (1950-1953), in which 61,000 Puerto Rican soldiers participated. This conflict was crucial because it allowed Muñoz Marín to present Puerto Rico as an exemplary defender of capitalist democracy and thereby discursively support its colonial relationship with the United States. But there is a parallel war that occurred in this period: the armed insurrection known as the Jayuya Uprising that Pedro Albizu Campos and the pro-independence Nationalist Party launched as a response to the Free Associated State. This talk centers on two opposed visions of war, a nationalist one and a neo-imperialist one. Through the speeches of governor Luis Muñoz Marín, poems by the Nationalist mystic Francisco Matos Paoli, and a short story by pro-independence author José Luis González, I explore how literary representations of these armed conflicts formed different anti-colonialist cultural and political subjectivities at a time when the island’s commitment to the U.S. was enshrined.
Juan Diego Mariátegui is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at Lehigh University. Prior to that he received a PhD in Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian Studies from the University of Chicago as well as a B.A. in Comparative Literature and Hispanic Studies from Brown University. His teaching and research focus on modern Puerto Rican and Cuban literature, particularly the way literary representations of space explore the relationship between man and the natural world, the cultural dimensions of colonialism, and the tensions between citizenship and diaspora.

Gisabel Leonardo Olin Humanities, Room 1025:30 pm – 6:30 pm EST/GMT-5 In Junot Diaz’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, Lola explores her contentious relationship with her mother, childhood trauma, and racial identity through hair. Similarly, Shenny De Los Angeles’ autobiographical documentary short “The Ritual to Beauty” explores themes of race, gender, and haircare through intimate interviews with Shenny’s mother and grandmother. These women turn to haircare as a site of expression to address the trauma they and the women before them have endured. In critical moments of release, both Lola and Shenny shave their heads in complete refusal of the Dominican aesthetics of race that promote hair straightening. In a Dominican context, the “Big Chop”—as this is often referred to in anglophone cultures—conjures a negative affect that mirrors the traumatic memory of El Corte, or The Parsley Massacre (1937), when tens of thousands of Haitians were slaughtered at the hands of Dominican armed forces. The works explored here confront the racial terror of the corte to heal generational trauma rooted in an anti-Black aesthetic imaginary. Through literature and visual media, this talk explores the nuances and consequences of the “chop” as an act of aesthetic refusal and an affirmation of Dominican Blackness.
Gisabel Leonardo is a PhD candidate in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese with a graduate minor in Latina/o Studies. Her interdisciplinary work centers expressions of gender, race, and sexuality through performance in contemporary Dominican and diasporic Dominican literary, artistic, and musical cultures. While at Illinois, she had the pleasure of designing and facilitating language, literature, culture, and media studies courses at several levels of instruction while also serving as a Graduate College Fellow and a Humanities Research Institute Predoctoral Fellow. Her teaching and research interests aim to center the cultural and literary production of marginalized voices across the Hispanophone Caribbean and its US diaspora. Her current work Melenas Malcriadas: The Black Aesthetics of Hair and Dominicanidad examines the conflicting affects of the Dominican hair salon and how Dominican hair culture is reproduced and reimagined in music, literature, and art.

Gabriel Hetland, Associate Professor of Latin American, Caribbean, and Latina/o Studies Faculty Affiliate, Sociology Department, SUNY Albany Olin 1025:00 pm – 6:30 pm EST/GMT-5 This will be a book talk. In case you want an image of the book or other details, click here.Is democracy possible only when it is safe for elites? Latin American history seems to suggest so. Right-wing forces have repeatedly deposed elected governments that challenged the rich and accepted democracy only after the defanging of the Left and widespread market reform. Latin America’s recent “left turn” raised the question anew: how would the Right react if democracy threatened elite interests? This book examines the complex relationship of the Left, the Right, and democracy through the lens of local politics in Venezuela and Bolivia. Drawing on two years of fieldwork, Gabriel Hetland compares attempts at participatory reform in cities governed by the Left and Right in each country. He finds that such measures were more successful in Venezuela than Bolivia regardless of which type of party held office, though existing research suggests that deepening democracy is much more likely under a left party. Hetland accounts for these findings by arguing that Venezuela’s ruling party achieved hegemony—presenting its ideas as the ideas of all—while Bolivia’s ruling party did not. The Venezuelan Right was compelled to act on the Left’s political terrain; this pushed it to implement participatory reform in an unexpectedly robust way. In Bolivia, demobilization of popular movements led to an inhospitable environment for local democratic deepening under any party.
Democracy on the Ground shows that, just as right-wing hegemony can reshape the Left, leftist hegemony can reshape the Right. Offering new perspectives on participation, populism, and Latin American politics, this book challenges widespread ideas about the constraints on democracy.

In particular, the rise of these movements must be linked to the global war on terror after 9/11, which blinded counterextremism authorities to the increasing threat they posed. In this panel, two prominent sociologists, Cynthia Miller-Idriss and Kathleen Blee, trace the growth of white supremacist extremism and its expanding reach into cultural and commercial spaces in the U.S. and beyond. They also examine these movements from the perspective of their members’ lived experience. How are people recruited into white supremacist extremism? How do they make sense of their active involvement? And how, in some instances, do they seek to leave? The answers to these questions, Miller-Idriss and Blee suggest, are shaped in part by the gendered and generational relationships that define these movements. Cynthia Miller-Idriss is Professor in the School of Public Affairs and the School of Education at American University, where she directs the Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation Lab (PERIL). Kathleen Blee is Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the University of Pittsburgh. If you would like to attend, please register here. Zoom link and code will be emailed the day of the event.

A Two-Session Cyber Workshop with Paloma Celis Carbajal, Curator for Latin American, Iberian, and U.S. Latino Collections, at the NY Public Library (Session 2) Online Event2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 Some five years ago, the New York Times reported that the book in print was far from dead, a plot twist to the numerous predictions that the 21st century would turn books into bytes only. However, the current pandemic could bring about another plot change given that most aspects of our lives have moved to the digital realm. We are all aware that the virtual plane is not equally accessible throughout the world. How are the current trends defining book production worldwide, but more specifically in Latin America? How does its past and present inform us as to where it's heading? What is the role that libraries play, especially if these institutions have, as one of their goals, to document and preserve the intellectual production of our cultures? In these two sessions we will try to explore these questions together. Open to the wide Bard community.
Zoom Details: Event: "The Future of the Book, and of Libraries, with Paloma Celis Carbajal (NYPL)"
Tuesday October 20, from 12:30-1:30pm; and Tuesday, October 27, from 2-3pm.
with Alys Moody, Harsha Ram, Stephen J. Ross, Kaitlin Staudt, and Camilla Sutherland Online Event1:30 pm – 3:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 Modernist studies has been transformed in recent years by the claim that modernism is a global phenomenon. Alongside work linking British, Irish, North American, and European modernists to the rest of the world, we have seen controversial claims for modernism’s flourishing in non-Western locations, from Japan to Africa, from Turkey to the Caucasus, and from South-East Asia to Latin America. This uncoupling of modernism from a strictly Western teleology remains under-theorised, and under-sourced. How do we study modernism on a global scale? What implications for modernist scholarship does this disciplinary transformation bring, especially in relation to collaborative work? And what new ways of seeing and understanding modernism arise from adopting a global perspective?
This roundtable showcases the methods and findings of Global Modernists on Modernism (Bloomsbury, 2020), a new anthology of source texts for global modernism. The book gathers texts by practitioners (writers, artists, critics, etc.) that reflect on the theory and practice of modernism around the world. In addition to celebrating (belatedly!) the publication of this volume last January, we will be discussing the collaborative nature of global modernist research and our “inductive” method of assembling and theorizing the anthology’s texts.
The roundtable brings together five editors of the anthology: experts in Russian and Georgian modernism (Harsha Ram), Turkish modernism (Kaitlin Staudt), and Latin American modernism (Camilla Sutherland) with the volume’s general editors, who will speak to modernism in sub-Saharan Africa (Alys Moody), and the Ashkenazi Jewish diaspora (Stephen Ross). We will discuss how global modernism troubles existing assumptions of modernist studies, and what the project of translating, editing, and circulating primary sources can contribute to this conversation. Following short position statements by each speaker, the roundtable will focus on discussion among presenters and with audience members.
This conversation, held under the shared auspices of the Literature Program at Bard College and Concordia University’s Centre for Expanded Poetics, is the first of a three-part series exploring global modernism, in celebration of the anthology. It will be followed by a discussion with poet-translators associated with the anthology on Thursday, 12 November, 6-7:30pm EST; and a workshop on pedagogy and global modernism on Friday, 4 December, 1:30-4:30pm EST.
To receive the Zoom invitation for this event, please email [email protected]. Invitations will be sent out on the morning of the event.

What is the role that libraries play, especially if these institutions have, as one of their goals, to document and preserve the intellectual production of our cultures? In these two sessions we will try to explore these questions together. Open to the wide Bard community.
Zoom Details: Event: The Future of the Book, and of Libraries, with Paloma Celis Carbajal (NYPL)

Bard Hall5:00 pm – 7:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 Artist-poet Cecilia Vicuña creates songs, performances, installations, paintings, films, written works, books, lectures, and sculptures. Born in Chile, profoundly impacted by the encouraging time of Allende, the subsequent terrors of Pinochet, and decades lived in exile, Vicuña makes work that is always attentive to ethics, the earth, and history. Her improvisatory, participatory performances, often associated with site-specific installations, emphasize the collective nature of action and creativity to bring forth justice, balance, and the transformation of the world. Vicuña will read from her latest book, Núcleo.

Resnick Studio Classroom5:00 pm – 7:00 pm EST/GMT-5 “Right now and for the next five years, fifteen children ages four to seventeen at Still Waters in a Storm, a one-room schoolhouse in Brooklyn, are reading and translating Don Quixote from the Spanish original into English and retelling the tale as their own, reimagining the story of an old man in Spain in the late 1500s as a story of Spanish-speaking immigrant children living in Brooklyn today. The story has been adapted as and performed as musical theater, with dialogue and original songs written collectively by the kids. With the collaboration of world-renowned Edith Grossman, translator of the authoritative English version of Don Quixote.”
Co-sponsored by LAIS, the Division of Languages and Literature, and Bard's Translation and Translatability Initiative.

A screening of contemporary short films made in Mexico and the United States Preston7:00 pm – 9:00 pm EST/GMT-5
The latest heinous acts of domestic terrorism and white supremacy put these incidents in the middle of the ongoing debate about immigration, border security, and national identity. In times of crisis, we need to know who the victims are, their challenges, and their dreams.
Please join us on Thursday, November 14, 2019, from 7pm to 9pm, at Preston Theater for the screening of The Wall: The Effects of Its Imposing Presence on Migrant Families, a firsthand look at the reality of the Hispanic population in the United States and the current undocumented immigration crisis, touching on topics such as the U.S.-Mexico border wall, the effects of family separation at the border, deportation, and DACA. Films to be shown include: Landfall by Stephanie Schiavenato (USA, 10 min., 2018); Erasing the Border by Laura Herrero Garvín (Mexico and USA, 12 min., 2018); What Would You Pack? by Sara Gozalo (USA, 3 min., 2018); Returned by Meredith Hoffman and Sarah Kuck (USA , 17 min., 2017); What Happens to a Dream Deferredby Scott Boehm and Peter Johnston (USA, 12 min., 2018).
In Spanish with English subtitles. Open to all.
Cosponsored by the Latin American and Iberian Studies Program, the Spanish Studies Program, and the Human Rights Project. Presented in association with Live Arts Bard’s festival about borders, “Where No Wall Remains.”

Frances Negron-Muntaner, Columbia University Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium5:00 pm – 7:00 pm EST/GMT-5 In 2019, scholar, writer and artist Frances Negrón-Muntaner conceived the award-winning art installation Valor y Cambio to explore what people in Puerto Rico valued and to introduce the concept of a community currency. The project exceeded all expectations by attracting thousands of participants and inspiring the creation of community currencies in Puerto Rico and the United States. In this talk, Negrón-Muntaner reflects on the origins and impact of the project, and introduces a new concept arising from it: decolonial joy. This is a specific form of joy that arises when participants envision and experience a time where neither colonialism nor coloniality rule their lives.

Bertelsmann Campus Center, Weis Cinema6:00 pm – 7:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 Santa Barraza is “a nationally important Tejana artist” who “paints bold represenations of Nepantla, the Land Between. Her work depicts the historical, emotional, and spiritual land between Mexico and Texas, between present reality and the mythic world of the ancient Aztecs and Mayas. Over the last twenty-five years of her career as a visual artist, Barraza has explored what it is to be a Chicana and a mestiza in this country. Utilizing a variety of media, she has embarked on an artistic journey full of family portraits, watercolor dream scenes, mixed media artist books, and murals that harken back to a pre-Columbian past. By tapping into pre-conquest symbols, personal memories, and traditional sacred art forms such as the retablo and the Codices, she incorporates the value of Mexican artistic traditions and their power to nurture and sustain cultural identity on this side of the border” (from Santa Barraza: Artist of the Borderlands [2001], edited by María Herrera-Sobek).

A Lecture by Maestro Akaxe Yotzin Olin Humanities, Room 1025:00 pm – 6:30 pm EDT/GMT-4 In this lecture, Maestro Akaxe Yotzin, an expert of Prehispanic Mesoamerican semiotics and disciplines, will dismantle the popular myths of human sacrifices, cannibalism, imperialism, and deism in Prehispanic cultures. By analyzing the symbols and evidence through a cultural, philosophical, spiritual, and indigenous lens, he will bring to light missing pieces in the mainstream narrative.
Maestro Akaxe Yotzin traces his lineage to the ancient native traditions of Mesoamerica. He is a “Temachtiani” of the Toltekatl sciences, disciplines, rituals, and philosophies. He has taught across Europe, Latin America, and the United States, where he currently resides. Akaxe Yotzin is trilingual, Nahuatl, English, and Spanish.His lecture will be in English.

Eric Goldfischer, University of Minnesota Olin Humanities, Room 1026:00 pm – 7:15 pm EDT/GMT-4 In the 1990s, the well-known tactic of "broken-windows policing" targeted homeless people by removing them from core areas of New York City and other global mega-cities. Yet today, with a progressive administration and softer policing in place, homeless New Yorkers still find themselves unable to exist comfortably in public space. How should we understand this shift? In this presentation, I argue that the regime of anti-homelessness in New York has shifted to what I call "ecological development," and present evidence from an ethnographic study to show how green spaces, linear parks, and urban plaza areas have taken up the mantle of anti-homelessness, and how homeless activists resist these nefarious tools of urban planning and development.

Event with Marcus Moore, Charmel Lucas, and Nikita Price (Picture the Homeless, USA) and Ayala Dias Ferreira (MST- Landless Workers Movement, Brazil) Olin Humanities, Room 1024:45 pm – 6:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 In the US and Brazil alike, the housing crisis sweeps millions into its grasp each year, producing homelessness, destroying public space, and forcing people to migrate long distances. But homeless activists have powerfully resisted this trend through community organizing, collective action, and legislative change. Landless activists have occupied plantations, successfully resettling hundreds of thousands of people on land that used to be controlled by big agriculture. Come hear from housing organizers in New York City and landless organizers in Brazil. Learn more about how we can create new models of land and public space so that all have a right to a home.

Olin Humanities, Room 1026:00 pm – 7:30 pm EDT/GMT-4 How is it that a country of immigrants like the United States can be home to such a virulent strain of anti-immigrant sentiments and policies? Part of the answer to this question, Prof. James Fernández (NYU) sustains, has to do with the way in which descendants of immigrants (mis)construe the stories of their ancestors. For almost 10 years now, in collaboration with Luis Argeo, Prof. Fernández has been digitizing and analyzing the family archives of descendants of Spaniards who emigrated to the United States in the early 20th century. They have also conducted interviews with the custodians of those archives: children, grandchildren, and, in some cases, great-grandchildren of the immigrants. In this talk, Prof. Fernández discusses patterns in the discrepancies we often find between the historical record embodied in the archives, and the family lore that has developed around them.
Open to all. In English.

With Eric Benjamin Gordon Olin Humanities, Room 2036:00 pm – 7:30 pm EST/GMT-5 Bard alumnus (Class of 2014) and current U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer Eric Benjamin Gordon will speak about his current work and experiences in Paraguay. One of the lesser-known and poorer countries of South America, Paraguay also boasts the unique cultural and lingual distinction of having over 90 percent of its population speak an indigenous language. This talk will cover some important factors in the history, language, and culture of Paraguay, all of which contribute to its ranking as the “happiest country” in the world by the Gallup Poll and Peace Corps Worldwide. There will also be a Peace Corps recruiter present to provide materials and answer questions about the organization.

Patricia Alvarez, Brandeis University Olin Humanities, Room 1024:45 pm – 6:45 pm EDT/GMT-4 In Peru, garments bring together bodies, fabrics, and symbols in a textured weave that has everything to do with power and the power of representation. The expansion of “ethical fashion” - akin to fair trade commodities - has opened a space of dialogue across an intractable racial divide. In this talk, Patricia will trace how fashion designers attempt to create a new post-conflict, inclusive, indigenous-oriented, multicultural “look” for Peru. At stake in her analysis are the ethical claims of design practices in ethical capitalist fashion supply chains.
Patricia's film Entretejido will also be presented. Entretejido weaves together the different sites and communities involved in the making of alpaca wool fashions, from animal to runway. The film is a sensorial immersion into the textures that compose this supply chain, bringing viewers into contact with the ways objects we wear are entangled in national racial politics.

Stephen J. Trejo, Department of Economics, University of Texas at Austin Olin Humanities, Room 1024:45 pm – 6:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 We document generational patterns of educational attainment and earnings for contemporary immigrant groups. We also discuss some potentially serious measurement issues that arise when attempting to track the socioeconomic progress of the later-generation descendants of U.S. immigrants, and we summarize what recent research has to say about these measurement issues and how they might bias our assessment of the long-term integration of particular groups. Most national origin groups arrive with relatively high educational attainment and/or experience enough improvement between the first and second generations such that they quickly meet or exceed, on average, the schooling level of the typical American. Several large and important Hispanic groups (including Mexicans and Puerto Ricans) are exceptions to this pattern, however, and their prospects for future upward mobility are subject to much debate. Because of measurement issues and data limitations, Mexican Americans in particular and Hispanic Americans in general probably have experienced significantly more socioeconomic progress beyond the second generation than available data indicate. Even so, it may take longer for their descendants to integrate fully into the American mainstream than it did for the descendants of the European immigrants who arrived near the turn of the twentieth century.

Joseph Sorrentino, Photographer Aspinwall 3026:00 pm – 7:30 pm EDT/GMT-4 Each year, approximately 400,000 Central Americans enter Mexico “irregularly,” using unofficial entry points. The vast majority are fleeing the extreme violence in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, countries whose murder rates consistently rank among the world’s highest. Most hope to obtain asylum in the U.S., but that’s now becoming virtually impossible.
Americans often wonder why people would choose to take such a dangerous journey. A volunteer in a Mexican shelter summarized it this way: “They think, ‘If I stay in my home country, I will die. If I go, I may die.’ They choose between certain and possible death.”
Follow the trail of these migrant lives as documented in photographs by Joseph Sorrentino under the auspices of the Puffin Foundation, the Fund for Investigative Journalism and The Investigative Fund at the Nation Institute.

Richard Alba, Distinguished Professor of Sociology, The Graduate Center, City University of New York Olin Humanities, Room 1024:45 pm – 6:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 Based on demographic projections, most Americans believe that their society will transition soon to a majority-minority one. But the projections fail to adequately account for a major social and demographic phenomenon of the early 21st century: the rise of a group of young Americans with mixed minority-white ancestry. In a departure from the one-drop regime of past racism, these individuals appear to be growing up in mixed family settings, but because of the binary, zero-sum rigidities that still guide our thinking, they are mostly classified as minorities in demographic data. Without this classification, however, the emergence of a majority-minority society in the foreseeable future is far from certain. Moreover, the evidence we possess about the characteristics, social affiliations, and identities of mixed individuals contradicts an exclusively minority classification, except for partly black individuals, who suffer from high levels of racism. Taking into account the ambiguous social locations of most mixed minority-white persons, I suggest that, even should a majority-minority society appear, it will not look like we presently imagine it.

A lecture by Gerardo Piña-Rosales, Prof. of Spanish Literature at CUNY and Director of the North American Academy of the Spanish Language Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium5:30 pm – 7:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 The influence of Cervantes’ Don Quixote on contemporary literature is unmeasurable. Prof. Piña-Rosales will refer to works by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Gustav Flaubert and Franz Kafka, Herman Melville, Vladimir Nabokov and Kathy Acker, all haunted by the ghost of Cervantes. Piña-Rosales will also offer a reflection on possible contemporary readings of Don Quixote by analyzing various editions of the work that have recently appeared both in English translation and in Spanish, including the new commemorative edition by the Royal Spanish Academy.
This event is conceived as a tribute to the living ghost of Miguel de Cervantes, founder of the modern novel, at the occasion of the 400th anniversary of his death. Piña-Rosales’ lecture will be followed a bilingual reading of excerpts from his novella, Don Quijote en Manhattan/Don Quixote in Manhattan.

Alexandra T. Vazquez, Associate Professor, Department of Performance Studies, New York University RKC 1035:00 pm – 6:30 pm EDT/GMT-4 This talk involves a willful submerging into the performance ecologies of Miami, Florida. The city, too often made mere fulcrum for many a geopolitical before and after, holds rich and established resources for creative practices. Far beyond a cultural wasteland or cold war terminus, Miami's artists have long made things from vast distances, inside precarious currents, outside of their families. “Immersing Miami” is and isn’t about the city; it is an exercise on how to write through the intimacies of the local and out towards parallel gatherings. The talk specifically works with the 1998 “Speed Split” series by the Cuban born, Miami-based artist Consuelo Castañeda (b. 1958) as an opportunity to transpose an artist’s visual mode into a musical response to displacement and dispossession. Castañeda extends a call to listen on the insides of the alienating narratives that drown Miami and in doing so enables us to hear robust aesthetic histories everywhere else.
Alexandra T. Vazquez was born in Miami, Florida. She is Associate Professor in the Department of Performance Studies at New York University. Her book, Listening in Detail: Performances of Cuban Music (Duke University Press 2013), won the American Studies Association’s Lora Romero Book Prize in 2014. Vazquez’s work has been featured in the journals American Quarterly, Social Text, women and performance, and the Journal of Popular Music Studies, and in the edited volumes Reggaeton and Pop When the World Falls Apart.

Elyse Singer, '10 Doctoral candidate in Cultural Anthropology at Washington University in St. Louis, MO. Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium Abortion clinics in Mexico City’s new public abortion program do more than provide medical care: they function as venues for the production of ethical subjects of the modern Mexican state. My dissertation examines how a central yet unexposed dimension of public abortion care involves “responsibilization”, a governing technique deployed increasingly in advanced neoliberal democracies (Rose 2000). Within the public program, begun in 2007, abortion is treated as the result of careless sexual decision-making; clinicians regularly enjoin patients to be more responsible. Invocations of individual responsibility detach abortion from social and structural context such that it emerges as a moral problem of individuals needing ethical reconstitution. Responsibilization is indicative of broader transformations in “reproductive governance” unfolding throughout Latin America alongside the incorporation of neoliberal economic policies and logics that emphasize self-sufficiency (Morgan and Roberts 2012). These changes have important consequences for citizenship. Based on eighteen months of ethnographic research in Mexico City abortion clinics, including interviews with patients and staff, I argue that the program produces sexually (ir)responsible subjects instead of the empowered citizens that feminists and policy-makers had imagined with abortion reform. This moralizing context prevents the internalization of abortion rights, an element I conceptualize as central to reproductive citizenship.

Bertelsmann Campus Center, Weis Cinema5:30 pm – 8:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 Corto Circuito was formed eleven years ago in to showcase short films made by filmmakers from Latin America, Spain and the United States in Spanish and Portuguese. Since then, it has grown exponentially, becoming a reference in the film festival scene of New York City and the country at large. Each year, their selections have included animated and fictional short films, as well as documentaries and experimental works, many of which were United States and New York premieres.The Best of Corto Circuito: A Mini Festival of Short Films will consist of a screening of selected short films from the festival, with an emphasis on human rights and immigration. To complement the film program of The Best of Corto Circuito, there will be a Q&A with a surprise filmmaker guest, and a panel discussion with Diana Vargas and Laura Turégano, Co-founders of Cortocircuito.
This event is a collaboration between Bard College and the King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center at New York University. Organized by Prof. López-Gay, Spanish Studies. All films are in Spanish with English subtitles. Free and open to the public.

Patricio Ferrari, Brown University RKC 1025:30 pm – 7:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 The renowned Argentine poet, translator, and literary critic Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-1972) published seven books of poetry during her short yet prolific lifetime. Among the numerous unpublished poems found in her archive held at Princeton University there are around two dozen French verse texts, some of which Pizarnik translated into Spanish and subsequently edited. Focusing on specific poems included in El infierno musical and Textos de sombra y últimos poemas, I will discuss self-translation as part of Pizarnik’s creative process. Unpublished material from the archive will be presented.Patricio Ferrari left Argentina for the United States at the age of sixteen, and since that time has lived in India, France, Italy, Germany, Portugal, and Sweden. His work as literary critic, editor and translator bridges a life between languages. In 2012 Ferrari received a PhD in Portuguese Linguistics from the University of Lisbon with a dissertation on the metrics of Fernando Pessoa. He currently holds a post-doctoral position at Brown University, where he is pursuing an MFA in poetry.

"Two Cheers for Corporate Social Responsibility" A Talk in the Social Studies Divisional Colloquium Olin Humanities, Room 102 As “corporate social responsibility” enters the mainstream, itsinitials "CSR" have become a dirty word for a broad segment of the engaged public. The voluntariness, vagueness, and uncertainty of enforcement – not to mention blatant propaganda by companies – overwhelm any positive value, they argue. At the other end of the spectrum, CSR enthusiasts insist that it is leading to a new paradigm, even challenging traditional forms of corporate governance. Oft overlooked in the debate over CSR is the way in which public campaigns have driven change and, even more importantly, shaped the mechanisms that emerge. CSR continues to be as much the story of savvy activists leveraging global networks as it is the monitoring mechanisms and codes of conduct -- maybe more so. Peter Rosenblum will explore the current debate, drawing on his recently completed research on Indian Tea plantations and a soon-to-published chapter addressing advocates and critics of CSR.

On Art, War, and the Avatars of Filmmaking Bertelsmann Campus Center, Weis Cinema Screening followed by Q&A with the filmmakers.Both films are in Spanish with English subtitles. The Guernica Variations (Guillermo Peydró, 2012, 26 min): Picasso’s Guernica is the image of a disproportionate attack on unarmed civilians to demoralize and subjugate a whole population, it encapsulates a turning point that ushered in today’s use of terror against civilians.This film received the 2013 Best Documentary Award from Uruguay’s International Short Film Festival, among other awards, and has been widely screened at museums, including the Reina Sofia National Museum. City of Signs (Samuel Alarcón, 2009, 62 min): When César Alarcón travels to Pompeii to collect ‘psychophonies’ - electronic voice phenomena - from Vesuvius’s great eruption, he finds that none contain sounds from the year 79 AD. Eloquent voices from the recent past will nonetheless lead him to the exploration of Roberto Rossellini’s mysterious life and film production. This film received the 2011 Román Gubern Essay-Film Award, among other awards.

¡El Barrio No Se Vende! ¡Se Ama y Se Defiende! National Speaking Tour – Fall 2012 Olin Humanities, Room 202 “BEST POWER TO THE PEOPLE MOVEMENT IN NYC” - VILLAGE VOICE
“IT IS REAL GRASS-ROOTS DEMOCRACY, AND IT IS BEING PRACTICED BY THE IMMIGRANTS WHO LIVE IN EAST HARLEM” - NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Movement for Justice in El Barrio was founded in 2004 by immigrants and low-income people of color of East Harlem to fight for dignity and against neoliberal displacement. A majority- women of color organization, Movement operates on a commitment to self-determination, autonomy, and participatory democracy.
Driven by multi-national corporations and profit-seeking landlords, and facilitated by city officials, gentrification has swept through New York City, causing the wholesale displacement of low-income people of color and immigrants from their communities. East Harlem is experiencing a wave of harassment, abuse, and intimidation as greedy landlords attempt to evict community members from their homes in order to raise rents and increase profits. With over 850 members, Movement has gone building-to-building to organize with their fellow neighbors to build a neighborhood-wide movement for dignity and justice—from below and to the left.
Please encourage your students to come!

Presented by Jorge Ignacio Cortiñas Fisher Center, Resnick Theater Studio Reviewing the history of censorship and political intolerance in Miami and Havana suggests that these two centers of Cuban politics might be engaged in processes of polarization that often operate in concert with each other and have proved integral to the maintenance of the United States trade embargo against Cuba. As one antidote to this long standing polarization, Jorge Ignacio Cortiñas will review the efforts of Cuban and Cuban American theater artists who have for decades been organizing to subvert the embargo, noting the successful ways these artists have begun to normalize exchange and travel between the United States and Cuba.

Olin Humanities, Room 102 Associate Professor of Political Science at Adelphi University, Margaret Gray will discuss her new book about migrant labor in the Hudson Valley, Labor and the Locavore: The Making of a Comprehensive Food Ethic.
In the blizzard of attention around the virtues of local food production, food writers and activists place environmental protection, animal welfare, and saving small farms at the forefront of their attention. Yet amid this turn to wholesome and responsible food choices, the lives and working conditions of farmworkers are often an afterthought.
Labor and the Locavore focuses on one of the most vibrant local food economies in the country, the Hudson Valley that supplies New York restaurants and farmers markets. Based on more than a decade’s in-depth interviews with workers, farmers, and others, Gray’s examination clearly shows how the currency of agrarian values serves to mask the labor concerns of an already hidden workforce.
She also explores the historical roots of farmworkers’ predicaments and examines the ethnic shift from Black to Latino workers. With an analysis that can be applied to local food concerns around the country, this book challenges the reader to consider how the mentality of the alternative food movements implies a comprehensive food ethic that addresses workers’ concerns.

Olin 205 Sophie White University of Notre DameThe earliest known eye-witness account of Mardi Gras in New Orleans depicted a masquerade that took place in 1730. But this description of hedonism and cross-gender disguises was an unexpected twist in a larger narrative. For this episode was immediately preceded by the 1729 uprising in which the Natchez Indians attacked French settlers, stripping, killing, and torturing survivors. And it was followed by the ritual torture and killing in New Orleans of a stripped Natchez woman captive. Most galling for the author of the account was the fact that French survivors had imitated, and even outdone, Indians’ torture methods. This transgression magnified anxieties about the potential for colonists to become indianized as a result of their presence in America. But in interweaving misrule descriptions of stripped, dressed, and disguised bodies, the author signaled that dress could channel Frenchmen’s metamorphosis into Indians, but also reverse such transformations. The key to this conceit lies in interpreting the placement of a topsy-turvy Mardi Gras masquerade in the very middle of massacre, torture and cannibalism.Sophie White is assistant professor of American Studies and concurrent assistant professor of Africana Studies at the University of Notre Dame. Her book, Wild Frenchmen & Frenchified Indians: Race and Material Culture in Colonial Louisiana, was published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 2012. Her articles have appeared in journals such as The William and Mary Quarterly, the Journal of Early American History, Winterthur Portfolio, and Gender and History. She was a fellow of the National Endowment for the Humanities in 2010–11.

Patricia Lopez-Gay Olin 205 Rewriting the Lives of Spain’s “Stolen Children”: The Biographical Impulse and Social Media
Only in the past few years has it become widely known that one of the largest networks of child trafficking in contemporary Europe was created in Francoist Spain and remained operative until the late 90s. This talk will analyze the biographical and autobiographical narratives that take shape in Facebook groups created by the victims, archival spaces where individuals share information and seek to complete and rewrite their life stories. The new technology changes not simply the archiving process, but what is archivable in a narrative form. Through the formation of collective digital archives, families and individuals become their own archivists--they create and add content in many different forms and media, such as written official documents, oral testimony, familial and personal records, photographs, and audiovisual recordings. Is there a distinctive cultural role for such web-based archives in witnessing history and memorializing our lives, both individually and collectively, in contemporary Spain?
Autobiographical narratives are generally constructed upon the impression of an individual’s past life experiences in the present time: what “might” or “will have been”. As part of a permanently updatable intertext of narratives, the life stories of the stolen children are also marked by the shared loss of what “could have been (and will never be)”. From such absence there arises a collective desire to rewrite the lives of entire generations of people. Could we maybe speak of a collective “biographical impulse” that would surpass and frame the autobiographical in the collective archives created for, and by, the “stolen children”?

Òscar O. Santos-Sopena Olin 205 Literary Dreamers: A Visual Journey from Bernat Metge to Francisco de Quevedo
My research study analyzes the work of several Catalan and Castilian authors, who use the motif of the dream as a specific humanist perspective, a literary genre, and a philosophical classical discourse. Thus, this presentation explores the intersection of culture, religion, and literary theory in the work of two Iberian Peninsular authors: Lo somni (1399) by the Catalan writer Bernat Metge (1350-1413) and Los sueños (1627) by the Castilian Francisco de Quevedo y Villegas (1580-1645). Both works represent excellent examples of the use of dreams as a cultural and historical narrative of two epochs: Catalan Humanism and Castilian-Spanish Baroque. I suggest that both texts should be explored in relation to the notion of Christian Humanism, where the use of the dream emerges as a literary genre and artistic philosophical device. I argue that this cross-pollination of humanisms from the Mediterranean world served as a bridge between the different civilizations and cultures. Moreover, as my multidisciplinary research indicates, I include exhaustive visual representations of dreams from the Medieval to Contemporary periods. Through this visual journey, I demonstrate that the introduction of dreams in these narratives is instrumental in separating reality and fiction.

Francisca Gonzales-Flores Olin 202 Spain and America in Antonio Machado's Early Prose
Traditionally, the work of Spanish poet Antonio Machado (Sevilla, 1875 – Collioure, 1939) has been seen as an evolutionary process, from his more introspective first texts to his socially and politically engaged later works. However, Machado’s social and political concerns can already be found in his very first publications, that is, in the articles that appeared in the newspaper “La Caricatura” (“The Caricature”) in 1893. These rich, but rarely studied, satirical articles will be the subject of my presentation, which will focus on the author’s reflection on the development of Spain as a modern nation and its relationship to the American colonies in the aftermath of the celebrations of the four hundredth anniversary of Columbus’ arrival in the Americas.

Olin Humanities, Room 107 Translator, novelist, and scholar, Sergio Waisman has recently published Borges and Translation: The Irreverence of the Periphery with Bucknell University Press. This book studies how Borges constructs a theory of translation that plays a fundamental role in the development of Argentine literature, and which, in turn, expands the potential for writers in Latin America to create new and innovative literatures through processes of re-reading, rewriting, and mis-translation. The book analyzes Borges's texts in both an Argentine and a transnational context, thus incorporating Borges's ideas into contemporary debates about translation and its relationship to language and aesthetics, Latin American culture and identity, tradition and originality, and center-periphery dichotomies. Furthermore, a central objective of this book is to show that the study of the importance of translation in Borges and of the importance of Borges for translation studies need not be separated.
Sergio Waisman is an Assistant Professor of Spanish at The George Washington University. His own translation work comprises two books by the Argentine Ricardo Piglia: Assumed Name (Latin American Literary Review Press), and The Absent City (Duke University Press), for which he received an NEA Translation Fellowship Award in 2000. His other translations include two books for Oxford University Press' Library of Latin America series: Dreams and Realities by the Argentine Juana Manuela Gorriti, and Juan de la Rosa by the Bolivian Nataniel Aguirre. He is currently translating Los trabajadores de la muerte (Laborers of Death) by the Chilean Diamela Eltit. Waisman has also recently published his first novel, entitled Leaving (2004).

Olin Humanities, Room 102 Thursday, October 13th, 7:30 p.m., Olin 102, the Bard Migrant Labor Project presents "Immigrant Rights." The event will feature three speakers: Macrina Cardenas de Alarcon, the legislative coordinator for the Mexico Solidarity Network, Hermenegildo Vazques Ahuatzin,the cofounder of the National Assembly of Ex-Braceros (from Tlaxcala, MX), and alocal speaker on the migrant situation in New York.
Below are biographies of the two speakers arranged by the Mexico Solidarity Network.
Hermenegildo Vazques Ahuatzin. Originally from Santa Cruz, Tlaxcala, Hermenegildo is an artisan and merchant who speaks both Spanish and his indigenous language. As a young man, he had difficulty getting accepted to the Bracero guest worker program, both because of his work history as a textile weaver, and also because he had very fine hands. One of the tests was to examine at the hands to see if the applicant was accustomed to heavy labor. A founder of the National Assembly of Ex-Braceros, Hermenegildo is a highly respected member of his community.
Macrina Càrdenas de Alarcon is the Legislative Coordinator of the Mexico Solidarity Network in Washington, DC. Macrina has 30 years of political organizing experience in the US and Mexico. For the past 12 years her major focus has been immigrant rights in the United States, including 8 years with the Diocese of Rochester in New York State.
