Cultural Synchronization and Disjuncture
A DLCL working group devoted to cultural theory and Latin Americanism, CultSync celebrates its third and final year of successful activities with this colloquium. A unique discursive space on campus for sustained intellectual exchange on central issues of contemporary criticism, the group fosters dialogue that is not produced exclusively by or for Latin Americanists, but one that, while emphasizing the specific contributions of a Latin American point of view, examines broader themes. Activities have included roundtable discussions, public lectures, and talks by faculty, graduate students, and guests from the Bay Area and beyond. Chaired by H茅ctor Hoyos, participants have included Diana Sorensen, Pheng Cheah, Daniel Alarc贸n, Neil Larsen, Ram贸n Sald铆var, Jens Andermann, David Palumbo-Liu, 脡lmer Mendoza, Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Horacio Legr谩s, Julio Villanueva-Chang, Paula Moya, Neil Safier, and Ignacio S谩nchez Prado, among other distinguished speakers.
