William Egginton, Professor and Chair, Department of German and Romance Languages and Literatures, Johns Hopkins University
Professor Egginton is the Chair of the Department of German & Romance Languages and Literatures, The Johns Hopkins University. He teaches courses on Spanish and Latin American literature, literary theory, and the relation between literature and philosophy. His most recent book is "The Theater of Truth: The Ideology of (Neo)Baroque Aesthetics," (Stanford, 2010). He is also the author of: "The Philosopher¹s Desire," (Stanford, 2007); "A Wrinkle in History," (Davies Group, 2007); "Perversity and Ethics," (Stanford, 2006); and "How the World Became a Stage," (SUNY, 2003). Professor Egginton is co-editor of "The Pragmatic Turn in Philosophy," (SUNY, 2004), and his next book, "An Uncertain Faith: Fundamentalism, Atheism, and Religious Moderation," will appear later this year with Columbia University Press.
The aim of his talk is to derive a theory of everyday fundamentalism, i.e., fundamentalism not limited to the religious variety, from a series of fictional texts by the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. The title comes from the postdated postscript he wrote to his 1941 story, "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis tertius," which contains his most explicit articulation of this theory. The lecture will seek to explain Borges' approach to this issue and its potential relevance to contemporary debates around atheism and fundamentalism.

Joan Margarit has published over twenty volumes of poetry; his book Casa de Misericòrdia (2008) was awarded the National Poetry prize in Spain, and his work has been extensively anthologized and translated. Professionally trained as an architect, Mr. Margarit taught structural engineering at Barcelona's Advanced School of Arquitecture for thirty-five years, and has worked on some of the most emblematic buildings in Barcelona's cityscape. Identifying common ground between poetry and architecture, Margarit said: "Considering my poetry and my particular area of architecture, I believe it is no petty coincidence that Structural Engineering strives to achieve a maximum state of resistance and stability for a structure using material as sparingly as possible: in a sense, poetry attempts to say as much as it can in as few words as possible." Since his retirement from architecture he has redoubled his commitment to literature and to writing with the publication of poetry and essays, his own translations to Castilian and Catalan of Thomas Hardy and Elizabeth Bishop, and his promise to support emerging forms of poetry.

From the series, Undocumented Interventions, #1-8, 2005; 20 hand-colored works exploring the cultural phenomena of human trafficking documented through the failure of smuggling attempts; watercolor on paper, 11 x 14 inches |
At our department she will present “Dinámicas del Arte de Cruzar/Dynamics of the Art of Crossing”. In that talk, recent samples of Latino art and literature will be presented, that show innovative and experimental impulses renouncing to classic patterns of immigration dramas or stereotypes based on a lack of self-esteem. The paradigm shift seems to be more obvious in visual arts than in literature. Thriving new art scenes in Miami, New York or the Southwest have a lot to offer. How do these new artists transform movement, e.g. the conventional theme of more or less improvised means of transportation by water and land indispensable for border crossings? The cars of Margarita Cabrera, Betsabée Romero or Julio César Morales (Undocumented interventions) or the boats of kcho and Armando Moriño will be accompanied by literary texts through an intermedial lecture: "Kon Tiki" by Roberto G. Fernández or Luis Humberto Crosthwaite's Instrucciones para cruzar la frontera, "Marcela y el rey" or Misa fronteriza, which all break new aesthetic grounds and marked attitudes of ironic distance. Eventually the second meanings of Art ('ability') of Crossing ('crossbreeding', 'hybridization', 'blend') allow us to criss-cross and open our corpus towards the works of humorous amalgamations (of Cristina Lei-Rodríguez and María Magdalena Campos-Pons) and a rapidly rising series of Latino art performances.

Irene Silverblatt, Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Duke University
Goya inquisition Irene Silverblatt is Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Duke University. Her research centers on the cultural dimensions of state-building and colonization in Latin America. She is particularly interested in the relation of gender, racial discourses, and historical memory to the construction and experience of power. As a Rockefeller and Guggenheim Foundation Fellow, she will be writing a social history of Peru's political ideologies and the making of colonial Andean subjects. These concerns, combined with an interest in the history of anthropology, orient her next project on the emerging fields of Andean ethnography--in the United States and Peru--during World War II and the first decades of the Cold War. Her publications include Moon, Sun, and Witches: Gender Ideologies and Class in Inca and Colonial Peru (Princeton UP, 1987); "Imperial Dilemmas, the Politics of Kinship, and Inca Reconstructions of History," (Cambridge UP, 1988), winner of the American Society for Ethnohistory's Heizer prize; Modern Inquisitions: Peru and the Colonial Origins of the Civilized World (Duke UP, 2004), and numerous articles. Most recently, Irene and Helene Silverblatt have edited the poems of Selma Meerbaum-Eisinger, a Romanian cousin who died in an SS labor camp when she was 18 and who had written 57 poems in German before her death.

Eduardo Lago was born in Spain (1954) and grew up in Madrid. In the mid 80's he moved to New York. For the next ten years he lived in a number of different neighborhoods in Brooklin. It was during those years that a novel that revolved around the lives of the americaniards - Spanish immigrants who even after settling in the United States permanently cling fiercely to their Spanish identity - began to take shape. The novel, Llámame Brooklin (2006), was an instant success and won the prestigious Nadal literary prize in 2006. In addition to his novel, Eduardo Lago has published a collection of short stories - Cuentos Dispersos (2000).
Before he moved to New York, Eduardo was already widely recognized for his work as a translator of Henry James, Hamlin Garland, William Dean Howells, John Barth and Sylvia Plath. Shortly after settling in New York, he began to publish literary journalism pieces in Culturas, the literary supplement of Cambio 16, and later in Babelia. In 2002 he received the Bartolomé March Award for Excellence in Literary Criticism for his critical comparison of three Spanish translations of James Joyce's Ulysses.
Eduardo Lago is also a prolific interviewer, well known for his interviews with Czeslaw Milosz, Norman Mailer, John Ashbery, Richard Ford, Tobias Wolff, Don DeLillo, Philip Roth, Toni Morrison, David Foster Wallace, Jonathan Franzen, Lorrie Moore, Robert Coover, William Gass, y John Barth, Edward Said and Harold Bloom.
In July 2006 he was named Director of the Instituto Cervantes in New York, a position he continues to hold to this day.

Borges and the Kabbalah is a limited edition artist book and open conversation between texts by Professor Saúl Sosnowski (a Borges scholar) and images by Kupferminc in dialogue with writings by Argentinean Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) and Kabbalistic notions. Kupferminc met Sosnowski when a mutual friend brought him to visit her studio in 2002. Though she did not mention her interest in Jewish mysticism to Sosnowski at that time, upon returning to the U.S., he mailed her a book he had authored titled Borges y la Cábala: La Búsqueda del Verbo. From this exchange, she began to explore connections in the book and her interests in everyday visual inquiry, literature, and mysticism. Of their collaboration on Borges and the Kabbalah: Paths to the Word, Kupferminc stated, "It is very hard to explain what the book is. It has a world inside. It's a journey with so much energy and such a profound true connection..."

Lecture Title: "Plain Things and Space: Metonymy and Aura in Memorials of Social Trauma"
The last couple of decades have seen an increased preoccupation with memory and a question that has been often raised is how does a community remember a traumatic event. In Toward a Theory of Cultural Trauma Jeffrey C. Alexander suggests that the elaboration of social trauma requires the reconstruction of tragic events into a narrative. Doing so allows a collectivity to define moral responsibility and redirect political action. This reconstruction depends upon a “carrier group” to articulate those events, to give them meaning in the public sphere. This carrier groups makes aesthetic choices regarding the representation of the facts and their articulation into a narrative of trauma.
In this presentation I want to look at public memorials of cultural trauma and observe how, beyond oral and written narratives, they manifest aesthetic options that allow a collectivity to reconstruct their own story. This talk will explore the different ways in which we commemorate and why are some aesthetic choices particularly successful in promoting a mourning process at the social level. How can a sculpture, or a photo exhibit, or a train car, or a collection of clips, make me think, or understand, or feel emotion about something that happened years ago? Are there linguistic operations involved in these experiences? In what sense are these emotional experiences, cognitive experiences? Looking at a variety of images of memorials of social trauma, I will discuss the possibility that language, cognition and emotion work together in these cultural productions to promote empathy in the viewers and, thus, facilitate social mourning.

Dartmouth College will host a one-day symposium on the role the humanities play in the project of democracy. Two Spanish intellectuals, former UNESCO Ambassador José María Ridao and Professor Juan Aranzadi, have been invited to debate with interested faculty, students, and the wider Dartmouth community on this topic. Two local scholars, Professor Donald Pease and Dickey Fellow Paddy Woodworth will provide introductory remarks and respond to the lectures.
Ridao and Aranzadi are public intellectuals in Spain and yet the scope of their academic and political interests far exceeds the Spanish context: the role that memory plays in processes of civil reconciliation (Spanish, Israeli, Palestinian examples); the messianic politics behind projects of national and cultural identity (the resurgence of extreme right-wing political movements in Europe and the US); new configurations of identity within the context of globalization (immigration as more than a tourism of cultural diversity); or the place of the micro-nationalist element in Europe's re-configuration of its older national borders into of a federation of regions, an unsettling development that challenges the character and the political appeal of the nation-state.
For Aranzadi and Ridao, culture is a space of resistance and of discomfort, a site to challenge and question, a politics of liberation, a move towards democracy. How do the humanities and their specific ways of creating knowledge contribute to this project? Is it possible to divorce the arts from the political? Why is it important to map this intersection? How do the arts push public discourse into uncharted arenas? What pedagogies of peace and of civil growth do these conversations foster?

1808 is the turning point in Spain’s struggle between the Old Regime and the Modern era defined by the influence of the French Revolution and the new order Napoleon imposed on Europe. Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, a privileged witness of the social and political upheavals of his time, was an exceptional Spanish artist situated at the crossroads of the Age of the Enlightenment and the emerging Romantic movement who masterfully represented the challenges of the turbulent years in which he lived. Critics have considered Goya’s work one of the pillars of modern art because it insightfully anticipates the vertiginous advances but also the harsh brutalities of the next two centuries. This one-day Symposium seeks to reflect upon Goya’s legacy as an artist and thinker two hundred years after the events portrayed in his renowned paintings The Second of May 1808 (The Charge of the Mamelukes) and The Third of May, 1808: The Execution of the Defenders of Madrid.
