LECTURES, SEMINARS AND EVENTS
LAGOS: From the Pepperfarm to the Megacity (and Beyond) - An Interdisciplinary
Conference on Space, Society, and the Imagination of an African Crossroads

Faculty of Arts
University of Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria
June 15-17, 2017

Between May 6 and 7, 2016, a conference titled Lagos: From the Pepperfarm to the Megacity (and Beyond):
An Interdisciplinary Conference on Space, Society, and the Imagination of an African Crossroads, took place
at Barnard College, New York City. Participants came from several universities in the United States, Africa,
Europe, and Asia. For the conference schedule and other information,
see: https://nyclagosconference2016.wordpress.com/ The organizers, in collaboration with the Faculty of
Arts, University of Lagos are planning a second edition of this interdisciplinary conference to be held at the
Faculty of Arts, University of Lagos between June 15 and 17, 2017.

Talk of cities is everywhere in African Studies and talk of African cities is everywhere beyond the field.
Thinking through African cities has produced critical reappraisals of how concepts such as urbanism,
globalization, citizenship, migration, epistemology, infrastructure, flexibility, history and futurity, can be
more productively thought to capture current, imminent, and historical realities. The city increasingly
appears to compete with the nation-state as the key spatial category of analysis for Africanist social
theorists. From Casablanca to Capetown, from Kinshasa to Mogadishu, and from Lagos to Luanda, Africa is
dotted with cities that constitute political, economic, social, and intellectual alternatives to the nation, while
being situated within it. Perennial challenges to nation-states in Africa and beyond combined with the
spectacular growth of cities on the continent and the global south more broadly, have prompted some to
suggest that we may be witnessing the rise/return of the city-state as the key structuring formation of the
new global order, and thus the key structure of concern for theorists of the social world.

The conference will pull scholars and practitioners working from a range of disciplinary standpoints into
conversation with each other around shared questions. Through cross-disciplinary engagement, we will
flesh out linkages between the pasts, presents, and speculative futures of Lagos. The organizers welcome
papers and multimedia presentations from the perspective of literature, politics, dance, culture, diaspora,
geography and environment, art, architecture, religion, knowledge and epistemology, economy and labor,
identity formation, film, public science, popular culture, history, etc. We plan workshops on publishing and
academic mentoring for postgraduate students and junior scholars.
Selected papers from this conference will be published shortly after in a special issue of urban studies
journals. Interested parties are asked to send a 250 300 word proposal and a short bio to the organizers
atlagosconference2017@gmail.com by October 30, 2016. Notifications of successful proposals will be sent
out on November 30, 2016.

Industrial Forests and Mechanical Marvels: Modernization in Nineteenth-Century Brazil reconstructs a

distinctly Brazilian perspective on modernization, countering the perception that the tropical nation was
merely reactive to models of industrialization and economic development then emerging in the North
Atlantic. Using public letters, government reports, and scientific journals, this monograph situates Brazil
within a greater trans-Atlantic conversation that illustrates the nuanced ways in which industrialization and
modernization were received and disseminated in a peripheral region.

CFP American Comparative Literature Association (Amsterdam, 6-9 July 2017)

Anna M. Klobucka (U of Massachusetts Dartmouth) and Csar Braga-Pinto (Northwestern U) invite paper
proposal submissions to the seminar we're organizing for the 2017 meeting of the American Comparative
Literature Association (Amsterdam, 6-9 July 2017) on "Crossings and Corruptions: Transnational and
Counternational Queer Agencies in Lusophone Cultures."

The seminar will consist of up to three daily sessions comprising up to 4 papers each. Paper proposals must
be submitted via the ACLA portal at http://www.acla.org/crossings-and-corruptions-transnational-and-
counternational-queer-agencies-lusophone-cultures. Submission deadline is Friday, September 23. Any
questions not answered on the site may be directed to seminar organizers
at aklobucka@umassd.edu and/or c-braga-pinto@northwestern.edu.

The seminar's description follows:

This seminar will address issues of (non-normative) gender and (queer) sexuality in relation to travel,
translation, transnational friendships and relationships, posturing and imitation, contagion, promiscuity,
etc., across the spectrum of modern Luso-Afro-Brazilian literatures and cultures from the late nineteenth
century onward. We are particularly interested in considering the ways in which queer subjectivities and
agencies have counteracted triumphant versions of the nation and nationalism that aim to foreclose any
alternatives to patriarchal and heteronormative fictions of progress and homogeneous identity. Such
counternational alternatives may be articulated in minor gestures (possibly "inauthentic" or derivative) and
in failures and shortcomings rather then successes and achievements. Readings may draw on such themes
as a refusal of futurity (as in Lee Edelman's No Future), the reappraisal of "backward modernity" (as in
Heather Love's Feeling Backward), the "queer art of failure" (Halberstam), or alternative utopias, among
other possibilities. We also invite queering questionings of the transnational ideal of "Lusofonia" and the
extent to which its official version reproduces the national, or, conversely, its informal reality opens up space
for non-normative encounters, exchanges, or performances of identity. Another dimension this seminar is
interested in exploring is how the political and/or linguistic discourse on corruption presupposes the idea
of an uncorrupted nation or language that is also challenged by queer subjects. Finally, we welcome as well
reflections on transnational travels of queer theory and the resistances and (productive) corruptions
generated by global dissemination of dominant theoretical paradigms. Paper proposals in either English or
Portuguese will be considered, although English, as the common language of the conference, is preferred.

Brazilian Film Screening: Edifcio Master (2002)

Director: Eduardo Coutinho
Country: Brazil
Language: Portuguese (with English subtitles)
For one week, Eduardo Coutinho and his team talked to 27 residents in an enormous building in
Copacabana. Amongst these are a middle-aged couple who met through the classified ads in a
newspaper, a call-girl who keeps her daughter and her sister, a retired actor, an ex-football player, and a
janitor who suspects that his adopted father, whom he dreams about every night, is his real father. The
subject of this documentary is private life in the big city, apartments as a last stronghold of individuality,
in addition to emphasizing the fact that to live together in one and the same place does not ensure that a
community will be formed. [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0333388/plotsummary]

Panel: Brazilian Literature Today: Language, Territories and Politics

Alexandre Vidal Porto, Ldia V. Santos and Jos Luiz Passos

Capoeira Abad-DC with Yara Cordeiro

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art, developed over centuries, primarily by the descendants of slaves
from Central and West Africa. Capoeira combines dexterity, athleticism, musicality and trickery. Yara
Cordeiro is an advanced practitioner of the form and a scholar of its history and performance. Cordeiro
will lead a group of adept capoeiristas through a demonstration and then teach some of the
basics. http://abadadc.org/

Panel: Brazil Beyond the Short Term (please see bios attached)
Alexandre Meira da Rosa (IADB)
Roberto dos Reis Alvarez (Global Federation of Competitiveness)
Elcior Santana (Georgetown University)

Live Music with Pablo Fagundes, Valrio Xavier and Special Guests
Pablo Fagundes is a virtuoso of the chromatic harmonica, specializing in the infectious and danceable
sounds of the Brazilian Northeast. Fagundes hails from Braslia, a hotbed of Brazilian instrumental music
from jazz to choro (like Brazilian ragtime) to forr (like zydeco). He and a generation of young musicians
from Braslia have pushed this music in new directions, always maintaining a danceable groove.

Valrio Xavier is also part of this Braslia cohort. He usually plays pandeiro (tambourine), but is equally
comfortable on the seven-string guitar, and also sings. Both his playing and his personality display his
effortless charisma.

Fagundes and Xavier will be joined by some of DC's best Brazilian musicians, including the beloved
percussionist and vocalist Gigi Macaxeira McLaughlin.

New Book: Occupy All Streets: Olympic Urbanism and Contested Futures in Rio de Janeiro

Bruno Carvalho, Mariana Cavalcanti

and Vyjayanthi Rao Venuturupalli,
Editors

Contributors: Bruno Carvalho,

Mariana Cavalcanti with Julia
ODonnell and Lilian Sampaio,
Gabriel Duarte with Renata Bertol,
Beatriz Jaguaribe with Scott Salmon,
Guilherme Lassance, Bryan
McCann, Theresa Williamson, and
Vyjayanthi Rao Venuturupalli

Occupy All Streets: Olympic

Urbanism and Contested Futures in
Rio de Janeiro analyzes the
implications of mega-projects
connected to Rio's transformation
for the 2016 Olympic
Games. Contributions from literary
critics, historians, anthropologists,
architects, media theorists, geographers and urban planners tell the story of how these
changes to the cityscape have kindled citizens hopes and aspirations for their right to a
future and chronicle the ways in which citizens have contested the futures being imposed on
them. Anticipating the city yet to come, these essays also point to the potential for activism
and protest to transform the Olympic legacy into different, more democratic, futures. While
focused on Rio, Occupy All Streets offers critical insights for other cities experiencing wide -
ranging challenges and facing far-reaching urban reforms.

Bruno Carvalho specializes in intersections between urban development and culture. He is

Associate Professor of Spanish and Portuguese at Princeton University, and co -directs the
Princeton-Mellon Initiative in Architecture, Urbanism, and the Humanities.

Mariana Cavalcanti has published extensively on housing, urbanism and public policy and co -
directed the 2012 documentary film, Favela Fabril. She is Associate Professor in the Sociology
Department of the Institute of Social and Political Studies at the State University of Ri o de
Janeiro.

Vyjayanthi Rao Venuturupalli works on cities after globalization on the intersections of

urban planning, design, art, violence, and speculation in contemporary urbanism. She is the
Director of Terreform Center for Advanced Urban Research in New York and teaches Urban
Anthropology at the Spitzer School of Architecture, City College of New York.

"Occupy All Streets is a brilliant and searing indictment of the injustice, violence, militarisation,
elitism and mind-boggling waste inherent in planning and organizing Rio as host city of the
2016 Olympics. Through punchy prose and superb visual material, its contributors expose the
myths that sustain mega-event urbanism; draw out the deep histories of branding Rio as an
aesthetically exceptional city; and, most important of all, explore the possibilities that exist for
organizing megacities more justly. An extraordinary book!" --- Stephen Graham, Professor of
Cities and Society, Newcastle University, author of Cities Under Siege: The New Military
Urbanism

"The word play in the title expresses with rare felicity how Occupy All Streets delivers much
more than it promises. The book brings together vital voices, in times of renewed disputes
over the essential principle of all streets belonging to everyone, a s we make and live our cities
(and citizenship). Occupy All Streets speaks in new ways about the always emblematic Rio and
its counterparts around the world. Its contributions could not be more timely and
indispensable, combining varied perspectives in its critiques, and pointing toward viable urban
futures that, unlike the Olympics, will certainly have to be shared, and built on common
ground." --- Jos Marcelo Zacchi, Founding Director of Casa Fluminense, Rio de Janeiro

New Book: Essays Brazilian

In these crisp, shrewd essays, a scholar of European

modernism trains his insights and considerable critical
acumen on contemporary Brazil, subjecting to scrutiny those
spheres dearest to Brazilian culture: the So Paulo Biennial;
tropiclia; City of God (both novel and film). Dialectical
readings in the best sense, these brilliant, penetrating essays
offer not pat resolutions but all the productive, joyous energy
of tensions that pull at one another and spark new meanings
and musings. Duro and friends eschew moralism to dwell, for
instance, with the paradoxical promises of the pop song, at
once utopian and commodified, mass without actually being
popular, forging of communities and manipulated affects
alike but they also circle back time and again to the raging
coexistence of domination and resistance marking
contemporary Brazil. Amidst such contradictions, the very
concept of equality is subject to ideology critique: neither
ignored nor really believed in. Essays Brazilian spans a number
of fields and figures, from music, visual art, literature, film, to
criticism itself, and from outsider artist Arthur Bispo do
Rosario to the contemporary artist Gil Vicente; from reception
histories of Adorno, Bakhtin, and 12-tone music in Brazil to
Reinaldo Moraes recent novel Pornopopia to the
surprisingly (and convincingly) profound meaning of goofs in
Fernando Meirelles 2002 film City of God. Throughout, Duro and friends show how both popular and
avant-garde artworks address Brazils complicated history. If the essays suggest that national allegory has
not wholly disappeared in the era of globalization, they also suggest to cite Duro and Trocolis reading
of artist Nuno Ramos that such allegories might well hold for any work of art today, mixing exhilaration,
because everything remains to be done, and mourning, because everything seems always about to
disappear, because it is so difficult for things acquire the state of being, to become existent. Rachel Price

Brodwyn Fischer The Right to the City in Theory and Practice: An Uneasy History of
Brazils Urban Social Movements

Wednesday, September 28, 2016

4p.m. 6p.m.

McKinney Conference Room, Watson Institute, 111 Thayer

Street.

Brodwyn Fischer is Professor of Latin American History and

the College, and Director of the Center for Latin American
Studies at the University of Chicago. She is a historian of Brazil
and Latin America, especially interested in cities, citizenship,
law, migration, race, and social inequality. Her first book, A
Poverty of Rights(Stanford, 2008), examined how weak
citizenship rights and residential informality came to define
urban poverty, popular social struggles, and the political
dynamics of inequality in modern Brazil. It received book
awards from the Social Science History Association, the Urban
History Association, the Conference on Latin American History,
and the Brazilian Studies Association.

She coedited Cities from Scratch (Duke University Press, 2014),

with Bryan McCann and Javier Auyero, which explores the
many ways in which poverty and informality have shaped the
Latin American urban experience. Her essay for the volume, "A
Century in the Present Tense," argues that the historical
dynamics of Brazilian urban poverty have been obscured by a
marked tendency to see informal cities as symptoms of
current crises rather than historically dynamic phenomena in
their own right. In various other essays and ongoing research, she has focused on the historical dynamics of Brazilian
racial inequalities, criminal law, Brazils twentieth-century great migrations, and the relationship between the urban
poor and Brazils political left.

Her current project, Understanding Inequality in Post-Abolition Brazil, asks whenand ifsocial inequality came to
be defined as Brazils central sociopolitical problem. Drastic inequalities have always defined Brazilian society, and the
struggle against inequality has long shaped the political left. But in Brazils late nineteenth century, issues of hunger,
disease, landlessness, and freedom often loomed larger for the very poor than inequality per se, and the combination
of weak public institutions and private monopolization of power and resources rendered access to vertical social
networks vital. In such a context, inequality was often the root cause of social misery, but access to ones unequals
was often the only way to survive it. This tension endured throughout the twentieth century, becoming a defining
feature of Brazilian modernity. In tracing inequalitys confounding history, this project illuminates the sinuous logic of
poor peoples political mobilization in Brazil, often revealing significant agency in actions once regarded as symptoms
of false consciousness or ignorant dependence. Yet Understanding Inequality also indicates some of the paradoxical
ways in which struggles for survival and social mobility have historically reinforced rather than disrupted larger
inequalities.

Brazilian Democracy and the Aftermath of Impeachment

Wednesday, September 28, 2016

Joukowsky Forum, Watson Institute, 111 Thayer Street.

In May 2016, the Executive Committee of the Latin

American Studies Association (LASA) approved a
resolution considering the impeachment process against
President Dilma Rousseff as "undemocratic." It also sent a
five-member commission, headed by Harvard Professor
Sidney Chalhoub and including Brown Professor Keisha-
Khan Perry to Brazil in July/August to investigate the
situation and prepare a report Professors Chalhoub and
Perry will present their analysis of the situation in Brazil
based on the Commission's findings.

Call for Papers: Power at the Intersection of Race, Gender, and Class in the Lusophone
World, NeMLA 2017

Social factors such as race, gender, and class influence relationships of power between individuals and
groups, separating those with access to cultural, political, and financial resources from those
without. Functioning as overlapping lenses through which to examine cultural texts, they can be used as
tools with which to condone or contest repression and domination in the daily lives of individuals. In the
Lusophone world, issues of race, gender, and class are particularly rooted in the history of discovery,
colonization, slavery, and patriarchy, all of which have contemporary effects on citizens of Portuguese-
speaking nations. This panel will explore how race, gender, and class-based power dynamics are
represented and reflected in literature and cultural manifestations such as film, music, and popular culture
from Brazil, Portugal, and Luso-Africa. How are these relationships of power experienced through
understandings of identity, education, development, and citizenship in the postcolonial context, and how
are they portrayed in literary and cultural texts? Open time period, papers accepted in Portuguese and
English.

Please submit abstracts no later than September 30, 2016

at http://www.buffalo.edu/nemla/convention/submit.html

For questions, please contact elisedietrich@gmail.com

NeMLA's 48th Annual Convention will be held March 23-26 2017 at the Marriott Baltimore Waterfront,
and hosted by Johns Hopkins University. Panel #16469.

Call for Papers - Ilha do Desterros Thematic Issue: Posthumanism

Posthuman and posthumanism are terms that have emerged as a response to the current economic,
political, cultural, and ecological crises affecting us all; crises whose currency has been recognized by
anti-oppressive social movements well in advance of their global acknowledgement by mainstream
institutions. They also point to the crisis of the notion of the human as an autonomous and rational
being, as well as to the consequences of human actions on our planet. In fact, the decentering of the
human subject has been a central theme in the works of authors such as Derrida, Haraway, Latour, Butler,
Wolfe, and Braidotti. To what extent does the posthuman figure and closely related figures like the
cyborg or companion species open up alternative perspectives and positions from which to question,
destabilize, and decenter the human, including modern binary categories such as human/nonhuman and
nature/culture? How has the posthuman perspective confused the distinctions between human and
animal, human and machine, organic and inorganic realms? In what ways does a posthuman perspective
displace traditional disciplinary borders in favor of interdisciplinary approaches that involve literary and
cultural studies, media studies, animal studies, among others? Does the posthuman perspective facilitate
or inhibit decoloniality. How has the posthuman/nonhuman inhabited cultural imaginaries and been
represented in contemporary culture literature, film and television, comic books, video games, social
media and theoretical essays?

For this issue of the Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies we welcome
papers that explore the above questions from multiple theoretical frameworks such as feminism, gender
studies, queer theory, race theory, disability studies, postcolonial studies, and deconstruction. Paper
topics can address (but are not limited to) any of the areas and themes listed below:

Posthumanism (as theorised by Rosi Braidotti)

Posthuman(ist) feminism

Posthuman(ist) subjectivities

Posthuman futures

Posthumanist discourse and gender, sexuality, race/ethnicity and/or class.

Postcolonial posthumanism

Posthumanist discourse and/or figures in literature

Posthumanism and the Gothic (then and now)

Posthumanism and fantasy, science fiction and/or speculative fiction

Posthuman figures in film, television, comic books and graphic novels

Posthumanism and critical animal studies

Posthuman politics and ethics

Dossi Glauco Mattoso

A Texto Potico, Revista do Grupo de Trabalho Teoria do Texto Potico/ANPOLL dedicada aos estudos de
poesia, lana esta chamada para a preparao de um dossi sobre o escritor paulistano Glauco Mattoso,
pseudnimo de Pedro Jos Ferreira da Silva (1951-), cuja produo se faz a partir de vastas referncias,
revisitadas, incorporadas, digeridas, transmutadas, s vezes, de modo reverente, outras, numa
perspectiva iconoclasta. Poeta experimental, sonetista, tradutor, letrista, editor, ensasta, tratadista, crtico
literrio, roteirista de narrativa grfica, romancista, contista, produtor de banda punk, graduado em
Biblioteconomia pela Universidade de So Paulo, ex-funcionrio do Banco do Brasil, Glauco recebeu
diversos prmios e hoje estudado, alm de no Brasil, nos Estados Unidos da Amrica, em Portugal e na
Argentina. Sua obra dividida por seu heternimo crtico, Pedro Ulysses Campos, em duas fases: a Fase
Visual, dcadas de 70 e 80 do sculo passado, em que predomina o que denomina experimentalismo
pardico, e a Fase Cega, a partir do final dos anos 1990, com predomnio de sonetos elaborados com
rigor formal. Transformado ainda em personagem de histria em quadrinhos por Marcatti, em As
aventuras de Glaucomix, o pedlatra (1990, da qual coautor do roteiro), e de narrativa cinematogrfica
pelo diretor Gustavo Vinagre, no documentrio Filme para poeta cego (2012), Glauco Mattoso se
constitui como locus privilegiado para refletirmos sobre projetos e programas estticos, poticos, ticos
e polticos que configuram a contemporaneidade. Para este dossi, esperamos receber trabalhos que
possam ajudar a aprofundar a compreenso da multiplicidade desconcertante dessa escrita que transita
por um amplo territrio discursivo, experimentando distintos modos de inscrio e circulao do texto
potico.

A Revista aceita tambm trabalhos sobre outros temas concernentes aos estudos de poesia para figurar
na seo Miscelnea.

Special Issue on Glauco Mattoso

Texto Potico, the official journal of the Research Group on Theory of Poetic Texts/ANPOLL, dedicated to
the study of poetry, announces a call for papers for our dossi on Glauco Mattoso (pseudonym of Pedro
Jos Ferreira da Silva (1951 - ), prominent writer and cultural activist from So Paulo, whose vast
production includes abundant works, revisited, incorporated, digested, transformed, with reverence,
revelry and rebellion all at once. Experimental poet, (record-breaking) sonnetist, translator, composer,
editor, essayist, literary critic, script writer of graphic novels, novelist, short story writer, producer of a
punk band, with a degree in Library Science from the University of So Paulo, ex-employee of the Banco
do Brasil, Glauco has received various awards for his work and is celebrated and studied today
throughout Brazil, the United States, Portugal, and Argentina. Glaucos work is produced in collaboration
with his critical heteronym Pedro Ulysses Campos, spanning two distinct phases: The Visual Phase, from
the 1970s and 1980s, which witnessed the proliferation of parodic experimentalism, and the Blind
Phase, beginning at the end of the 1990s, in which rigidly-formed classical sonnets were the
predominant means of literary production. Glauco Mattoso has also been transformed into a comic-
book character by Marcatti, in The Adventures of Glaucomix, the Foot Lover (published in 1990, with
Glauco as its co-author), and has also been the subject of cinematographic narrative. In director Gustavo
Vinagres documentary, Film for a blind poet (2012), Glauco Mattoso is configured as a privileged site
for the spectator to reflect on aesthetic, poetic, ethical, and political codes which together construct
contemporaneity. For this special issue, we hope to receive essays which may help us to understand the
disruptive multiplicity of the trajectory of Glauco Mattosos journey through a wide discursive territory,
experimenting with distinct modes of inscribing and circulating the poetic text.

The journal also accepts other works on themes related to poetry studies in our section entitled
Miscellaneous.

Articles should be submitted online at the website of Texto potico, as follows:

Internacional Resistance to the Brazilian Coup of 2016

The volume entitled International Resistance to the Brazilian Coup of 2016 has been launched in Brazil and
other countries. It includes texts by a number of internationally renowned intellectuals, Brazilianists,
journalists, writers and politicians. This book represents the third installment of the trilogy A Resistncia ao
Golpe de 2016 (The Resistence to the Brazilian Coup of 2016), an immediate response to the recent political
machinations that plunged the country into a tumultuous parliamentary coup. This third volume, which
focuses on the international response beyond Brazil, offers a collection of essays, official documents,
interviews and poetry, a body of work that serves to document the injustice being committed in Brazil and
to diagnose solutions for the current crisis, which will only become more dire should the democratically
elected president of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, be impeached. At this critical time, the book is itself evidence
of the tremendous international solidarity that has arisen in response to the coup and in support of
democracy. International Resistance to the Brazilian Coup of 2016 will soon appear in bookstores around
the globe. Here is the list of participants, more than 100 authors, most of them from outside of Brazil,
denouncing the coup:
