Transmedial Latin America will bring together scholars of Latin American literature, media, and culture whose work has a strong theoretical inflection in order to evaluate, collectively, the role of theory and thought in Latin American media studies. Particularly, transmediality will be examined:  the dynamic of cultural expression and conceptual labor that takes place across what might seem like distinct media—film, music, photography, digital media, etc.—but are shown, through these “crossings” (translations, adaptations, distortions) to be interrelated and inseparable. 

Speakers include Pablo Oyarzún (U Chile), Iván Aguirre-Darancou (UC Riverside), Julia Ariza (Dartmouth), Mayra Bottaro ( U of Oregon), Natalia Brizuela (UC Berkeley),  Vincent D. Cervantes (U of Illinois), Tarek Elhaik (UC Davis), Paul North (Yale), Rocío Pichon-Rivière (UC Riverside)

Hosted by the Department of Latin American and Iberian Cultures, with generous co-sponsorship by the Dornsife Graduate Dean and Divisional Vice
Dean for the Humanities, Comparative Studies in Literature and Culture Doctoral Program, Levan Institute for the Humanities, and the Departments
of Comparative Literature, American Studies and Ethnicity, and Gender and Sexuality Studies.
