Dear PILAS members
This is a reminder about the interdisciplinary conference "Crisis, Response and Recovery: A Decade on from the Argentinazo 2001-11 which will be held on 8th December 2011 at the Institute for the Study of the Americas, London, convened by Dr Cara Levey (University of Leeds), Daniel Ozarow (Middlesex University) and Dr Paulo Drinot (Institute for the Study of the Americas). Please note that the deadline for those wishing to give a paper and submit a full written paper for consideration is 9th September 2011.
We are delighted to announce Dr Maristella Svampa (CONICET/Universidad Nacional de la Plata) as the conference keynote speaker.
Description:
As the tenth anniversary of Argentina's 2001 economic crash approaches, this one-day conference co-organised by the Argentine Students Research Network and Crises of Capitalism in the Americas Research Network, seeks to bring together scholars and professionals working on Argentina from a range of disciplines in order to debate and discuss short and long-term response to crisis and subsequent trajectories of recovery. The term ‘response’ is not limited to the sphere of economic/political economy, but also encompasses the societal, cultural and literary fields. This interdisciplinary conference thus welcomes abstracts on a wide variety of topics, such as cinematic representation of crisis, social activism and mobilisation, macro-economic and fiscal reform and shifts in state policy. In view of the current financial crisis in the West, this country-focused and timely conference proposes to analyse the effects of crisis and how it can be addressed, with a view to examining and reflecting on the ways in which recovery is undertaken in societal, cultural, economic and political spheres.
