SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Discussion: Disability in Latin American and Latinx Contexts
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a discussion on disability in Latin American and Latinx contexts. While disability studies is a diverse and evolving field\, much of the focus has been on exploring disabled bodyminds in the context of the Global North\, often leaving out questions of neoliberalism\, colonialism\, and racialization. This conversation will begin to explore how scholars interested in disability might begin expanding this conversation by including both Latin American and US Latinx perspectives on the bodymind. The conversation will be centered around two readings: the introduction to Libre Accesso: Latin American Literature and Film through Disability Studies and a short story by Ramón García\, entitled “Amor Indio: Juan Diego of San Diego.” \nShanna Killeen will moderate this event. They earned their MA in English from Oregon State University in 2017. They specialize in disability studies and queer studies with a particular focus on neurodivergence\, crip Latinx art and literature\, and aromanticism. Their dissertation\, entitled “Affect Aliens: On Neurodivergent and Aromantic Epistemologies\,” explores affective norms and the ways in which certain kinds of bodyminds come to be pathologized as lacking in affect. Their work turns to the contemporary aesthetic and discursive practices of neurodivergent and aromantic people to ask what this can tell us about affect\, interrelationality\, and care. \nWorks Cited:\nAntebi\, Susan\, and Beth Ellen Jörgensen. “Introduction: A Latin American Context for Disability Studies.” Libre Acceso: Latin American Literature and Film through Disability Studies\, State University of New York Press\, 2016.\nGarcía\, Ramón. “Amor Indio: Juan Diego of San Diego.” Virgins\, Guerrillas & Locas: Gay Latinos Writing on Love\, 1st ed\, Cleis Press\, 1999. \nFor the readings\, please write to: disabilitystudies@english.ucsb.edu \nRegister for the Zoom attendance link here \nSponsored by the IHC’s Disability Studies Initiative Research Focus Group\, Comparative Literature Program\, and Graduate Center for Literary Research

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Transnational Jewish Tradition and Memory in the Landscapes of Maurice Sendak
DESCRIPTION:This talk examines the role of Jewish folk traditions and memory in the picture books of the late Maurice Sendak (1928-2012)\, with special attention to Sendak’s handling of landscape and natural elements. Sendak’s own biography reflects a move in the 1970s from the urban spaces of Brooklyn and Manhattan to the forested landscape of Ridgefield\, Connecticut. His work speaks to the experience of first-generation children of immigrants in early twentieth-century America\, drawing on a Yiddish-inflected upbringing\, a troubled early consciousness of Nazi Europe and the Holocaust\, inherited memories of destroyed worlds\, and other elements that exceed national boundaries. Moskowitz argues that Sendak’s work values the “wildness” of the natural world\, allegorizing it as a stand-in for the emotional interior of the sensitive human child. \nGolan Moskowitz is Assistant Professor of Jewish Studies at Tulane University\, where he teaches courses on Jewish gender and sexuality\, American pop culture\, Holocaust studies\, and comics and graphic novels. He is the author of Wild Visionary: Maurice Sendak in Queer Jewish Context (2020) and of several publications on intergenerational memory in post-Holocaust family narratives. \nZoom attendance link here \nSponsored by the IHC’s Global Childhood Ecologies Research Focus Group
