EVENTSFIFTH INTERNATIONAL LATIN AMERICAN CULTURAL STUDIES CONFERENCE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGHNarco-Epics Unbound: New Narrative Territories, Affective Aesthetics, and Ethical ParadoxHermann Herlinghaus (Coordinator) April 4 – 5, 2008 With renowned international scholars and artists
Narco-Epics designate transnational narrative formations that emerged, during the 1980s and 1990s, throughout (Latin) American literature, music, film and testimony. This dynamic realm conveys images and affective configurations of shattered life – existences that are massively endangered by privation, proliferating marginalities and informal labor, and illicit global flows, together with paradoxical forms of communitarian resistance and social deviance. Narco-epics address some of the most intricate issues of philosophy and ethics today. To what extent does globalization rely on an unequal distribution of guilt and fear throughout the world? How can those territories, in which the proximity of violence, religiosity and “bare life” seems to displace modernity’s civilian core, be understood? And how can aesthetic thinking recover the immanent political value of life? Download the program (pdf)
