First Call for Papers
As the twentieth century comes to a close approaching 1998, we remember
the last colonial war fought over Latin America 100 years ago and the
subsequent physical and conceptual realignments of boundaries and
national identities that took place in the Iberian peninsula as well
as the Americas. Contests for space have always existed in Spain,
Portugal and the Americas, however, and continue today in the
cultural, racial, social, sexual, environmental, religious, political
and commercial arenas. This conference will look at these struggles
over past, present and future geographies, and the colonial, post-
colonial and neo-colonial issues they raise and represent.
Papers are invited from scholars and students interested in the study
of these contested spaces before and after the arrival of the Spanish
and Portuguese. While panels will be primarily based around the
disciplines of economics, history, geography, literature and cultural
studies,and politics, contributions by anthropologists and members of
interdisciplinary fields such as environmental and media studies are
welcomed, and papers not directly related to the themes outlined
above will also be included.
A seminar entitled "Markets and Cultures in Transition: Latin America
and the Pacific Rim" will precede the AILASA Conference, on 9 July.
Closing Date for Abstracts of Papers: 1 March 1997
