PILAS Conference 2010
University of Manchester
15th ? 17th June 2010
?Whose Latin America? Shifting Perspectives on a Diverse Region?
CALL FOR PAPERS
Students are invited to submit abstracts on ANY ASPECT of their
research within the field of Latin American Studies for PILAS 2010. We
are looking forward to receiving a wide range of interdisciplinary
postgraduate research on Latin America.
PILAS also welcomes papers that engage with the conference?s main
theme, ?Whose Latin America? Shifting Perspectives on a Diverse
Region.? Discourses on Latin America in the past have tended towards
homogenised conceptualisations of Latin America. With this conference
we aim to look beyond conventional approaches to the region. ?Whose
Latin America?? asks postgraduate researchers to question: Who can
speak for Latin America and its people? Who currently stakes a claim
to Latin America and is this claim justified? What kinds of
representations of Latin America does our own research produce? And
how can our work contribute to widening perspectives on Latin America?
As well as highlighting the cultural uniqueness of its different
regions, we seek to acknowledge their historical interrelatedness and
to analyse the colonial legacies with which Latin American countries
still struggle.
We welcome papers from across the disciplines, as we wish to attract
as many perspectives on Latin America as possible.
To submit an abstract of a paper (up to 250 words), please fill in the
?Paper Proposal? section of the Conference Registration form
(available via the PILAS website) and send the completed form as an
attachment to [log in to unmask] by 15 April 2010.
