“From Nunavut to Wallmapu: Indigenous Cultural Revitalization and Inter-American Studies”
A brown bag lunch session with Hannah Burdette, California State University, Chico.
October 11 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
“Visibilizar/Visualizar: Poetic Knowledge and the Radical Imagination in Contemporary Abiayala”
From the Idle No More movement in Canada and the Zapatista uprising in
Mexico to the Water and Gas Wars in Bolivia and the Mapuche movement in
Chile, the turn of the twenty-first century has witnessed a notable
surge in indigenous political action and literary production. Whether
produced in Native languages, in the dominant European language, or
both, indigenous literature forms an integral part of the struggle for
cultural and intellectual sovereignty. This presentation explores the
intersection between poetics and politics within that context, arguing
that literature serves both to visibilizar (to render visible
subjugated bodies of knowledge) and to visualizar (to envision
alternatives to modernity/coloniality).
October 11 @ 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm
