American Configurations - Configurações Americanas
July 27th - 29th 2011
Universidade Federal Fluminense
Gragoatá Campus, Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil
Theme
America with its multiple narratives, landscapes, languages, and
experiences,_ projects itself in time like a mosaic in movement: a mosaic of
cartographies imagined over time and_ projected in the descriptions of
travelers and scientists, in fiction and poetry, in the discourses of
politicians and_ activists, and in the images of photographers, artists, and
filmmakers._ The 5th IASA World Conference proposes to be a space for
debating how different communities form senses of Americanness, originating
from places of knowledge, politics, art, memory, and_ lived experience,
where a possible "America" may be configured. Possible foci include
imagination and images, memory and community, geographies of power, time and
Americanness, routes and ´scapes´, traditions in perspective and possible
modernities.
