MLL Annual Graduate Conference. University of Miami. February 12, 2016. Moments of crisis make possible new forms of expression , including cultural initiatives, social cooperatives , and political movements informed by diverse concepts of recycling and sustainability. "Recycling" engulfs more than reusing materials : it also means re-appropriating and repurposing ideas, resources, and forms of cultural production to new ends. For instance, the Cartonera publishing groups of BuenosAires ; Milan's "Piano City;" Casablanca's Abbatoir s; the repurposed pieces of tire, plastic , and metal that endose and adom André Eugene 's mother and child in Ayiti Pap Peri; and Miami's Wynwood Arts District all emerge from radically distinct situations of local crisis, and yet, they share sustainable and communal approaches to understanding and addressing social, political , and economic quandaries that exist across the globe. With these broad interests in mind, we invite abstracts in English , French , Portuguese , and Spanish related to : Recycling in and of literature Reimagining forms of cultural production Praxis of the book as a material object Re-thinking and re-appropriating cultural spaces The shift from print to virtual communication and its environmental impact Salvaging ideas Sustainability practices in social and cultural movements The poetics of recycling and sustainability in the literary, visual, and performing arts. Limited travel grants are available. Abstracts should be sent by November 20 to: recyclingcultures@gmail.com Keynote Speakers: Haitian writer, Michele-Jessica Fievre (www.mjfievre.com) Colombian artist, Federico Uribe (www.federicouribe.com) 5. 4º COLOQUIO INTERNACIONAL DE GÉNERO EN LOS TEXTOS CULTURALES: CUERPO Y EROTISMO. CONVOCATORIA Sede: Centro Universitario de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades de la Universidad de Guadalajara. Guadalajara, Jalisco. México 21 y 22 de abril de 2016 Universidades Anfitrionas: Universidad de Guadalajara Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León A partir de los congresos anteriores se ha establecido la necesidad de continuar analizando las múltiples relaciones entre el cuerpo y el erotismo en los textos culturales, como estudios que proponen desestabilizar al patriarcado y de-construir las normas en cuanto al cuerpo y a los prototipos de género patriarcales que se han establecido. En este sentido hemos comprendido que los prototipos de género que el patriarcado establece se reproducen en los actos discursivos y por ello la necesidad de analizar los discursos acerca del cuerpo y el erotismo como una forma de repensar al ser y su subjetividad. Si bien el cuerpo es un estrato natural, su comprensión y vivencia se estructuran o engeneran a partir de una serie de sistemas que se convierten en lo que llamamos el género. En este marco, en el devenir de los elementos simbólicos es que se producen, reproducen y asumen las normatizaciones patriarcales de género en cuanto al cuerpo y el deseo. Por ello la propuesta de estudiar la relación entre el continuo proceso de engenerarse, el cómo esto se evidencia en el cuerpo y el deseo y la íntima relación que este devenir mantiene con los prototipos de género patriarcales y los textos culturales, en tanto discursos morales, que pueden contribuir a la viviencia patriarcal del género o a su deconstrucción. En el marco de estas reflexiones y para continuar con los estudios interdisciplinarios entre la teoría literaria, la filosofía y los estudios de género que hemos llevados a cabo en desde 2010 se les invita a participar en el 4o coloquio internacional de género que tiene como temas centrales: el erotismo, el cuerpo y los prototipos de género presentes en los textos culturales.
