Call for Papers: ‘Narratives & Climate Change’
/in Forum /by ChantalWithin the current debate on the societal and environmental impact of climate change scientists and policymakers as well as artists stress the importance of producing compelling narratives to envision a safe future society. Especially speculative fiction – the genre that explores possible futures – plays an important, integrating role in imagining and engaging with the implications of climate change: not only do fictional narratives offer a great opportunity to engage readers on a personal level with the complexities and scale of climate change, they also prove to be productive in policy making practices and in mediating calculated, datadriven climate scenarios (Hajer 2005; Hulme 2009; Thomas 2013; Moezzi a.o. 2017; Johns-Putra 2016 and 2019).

MasterLanguage Course: Escribir violencia en Latinoamérica: humor, afecto y cuerpo
/in Forum /by Alberto GodioliLeiden | February – April 2021 | Instructors: Nanne Timmer (LU) ism Brigitte Adriaenssen, Reindert Dhondt en Gabriel Inzaurralde
Este curso ofrece una serie de reflexiones sobre repertorios culturales en torno a la violencia y sobre su circulación y recepción. Después de
una introducción teórica que problematice la noción de violencia desde un enfoque poscolonial, el curso explorará estudios específicos sobre el tema. Estudiaremos, por ejemplo, textos literarios de autores latinoamericanos contemporáneos que van desde el realismo al delirio
absurdo. Exploraremos, por ejemplo, la lectura y recepción de las imágenes de violencia en las cárceles en Chile y veremos cómo Martin
Kohan construye una de sus novelas sobre la imposibilidad de narrar la crueldad de la dictadura argentina. Estudiaremos el papel central del
humor ―conociendo incluso las dificultades del tema―, y afrontaremos la poesía activista en México; poesía que gira en torno al creciente
número de feminicidios y el rol-mujer en este contexto tan difícil.
