Subject: Spanish Caribbean Conference


SPANISH CARIBBEAN CULTURE: SUBJECTIVITY AND NATIONALITY

2-3 June 1995
Trinity Hall Lecture Theatre
Trinity Hall
Cambridge University
Trinity Lane
Cambridge CB2 1TJ
England

The pioneering nature of this conference lies in the exciting possibility 
it provides to question and enlarge the hitherto exclusively limited 
parameters and geographical boundaries of both Latin American and, more 
recently Caribbean Studies in this country. Lectures will deal with 
intellectual and cultural history of the region, as well as the role of 
literature, art, the mass mediaa, and popular culture in a nominally 
postcolonial Spanish Caribbean.

The multi-disciplinary character of the talks by over a dozen 
international leaders in the above fields will be further 
enhanced by contributions from distinguished writers and artists from the 
Spanish Caribbean. Speakers include: Diane Accaria-Zavala (University of 
Puerto Rico), Efrain Barradas (University of Massachusetts), Daisy Cocco 
de Filippis (CUNY), Arcadio Diaz Quinones (Princeton), Keith Elllis 
(Toronto), Jean Franco (Columbia), Juan G. Gelpi (University of Puerto 
Rico), Gilberto Gomez Ocampo (Wabash College), Roberto Gonzalez Echevarria (Yale), Manuel 
Granados (France/Cuba), Jorge Marban (College of Charleston), Rodolfo B. 
Popelnik (University of Puerto Rico), Luis Rafael Sanchez (Puerto Rico), 
Ian Isadore Smart (Howard University), Doris Sommer (Harvard University), 
Carmen Vazquez Arce (University of Puerto Rico).
