Testimonio 2.0: Endless Voice?
Testimonio 2.0: Endless Voice?
Within the past decade, many renowned scholars of Latin American testimonio, including Beverley, Sklodowska, and Nance, have either questioned its effectiveness in documenting and promoting social change or gone so far as to make a case for this genre’s demise. Their scholarship is often based on testimonio a la Miguel Barnet or Rigoberta Menchú—traditional paradigms that once defined the genre according to early critics Yúdice and Zimmerman—and therefore relies on certain classic boundaries and origins. While broader understandings of testimonio, such as the chronicles and the picaresque novel, have been wide ranging and based on long-standing issues of production and reception, most testimonio criticism assumes the central roles of the witness/testigo and a poetics of urgency to recount a contestatory narrative.
With Testimonio 2.0: Endless Voice?, the editors seek to compile a collection of essays which explores a trajectory of novel articulations for testimonio and/or a trajectory of distancing from the genre. These paths might mean a new generation of testimonio and testimonio scholarship, for example, or simply the era of post-testimonio. Instead of anchoring testimonio upon the traditional testigo, can we perhaps shift our critical gaze elsewhere within literature and other discourses of representation, such as cinema, in order to reconceptualize the act of witnessing? Further, can we situate testimonio within sociocultural fields such as the geography of urban landscapes as marked by memory through monuments, posters, and the graffiti of public spaces? Can we consider geography in general as a kind of witness to history by way of ecotestimonios? What of the oral interview which then relies upon transcription and the written word? Can we locate testimonio as well in other fields of meaning production such as the pictogram, the photograph, or in computer-generated animation and graphics? Do cyborgs have testimonios to share within alternative realities that belie common concepts of time and space? Is testimonio, in fact, grounded in a Western notion of time? Instead of the metaphor of time as an arrow wherein narrative has a discrete past, present, and future, may we perhaps embrace the more ancient notion of time as cyclical? Under this paradigm, the future can be remembered and witnessed as prophecy. Can prophecy be testimonio? Perhaps most importantly, what common discursive markers are shared by these two potential generations and/or between testimonio and post-testimonio?
To be considered for this collection, please send an abstract of 300-500 words with bibliography and abbreviated CV to both Louise Detwiler (ladetwiler@salisbury.edu) and Janis Breckenridge (breckej@whitman.edu) by December 1st, 2010. We encourage submissions from across cultures, but can only consider essays in English, with quotes translated into English. Potential contributors will be chosen on the basis of their abstracts, although acceptance of an abstract does not guarantee inclusion into the final volume. Completed essays (approximately 6000 words) should be submitted by March 1st, 2011.

Call for Papers: “Global Lesbian Cinema” Special Issue for The Journal of Lesbian Studies
Call for Papers: “Global Lesbian Cinema” Special Issue for The Journal of Lesbian Studies
We seek papers on the topic of Global Lesbian Cinema, broadly defined, for a special issue of The Journal of Lesbian Studies. This issue will explore the lesbian experience as it figures in fiction and documentary, narrative and experimental, mainstream and independent films, from diverse cultures/nations across the globe and in various stages of development.
Papers might address single films or individual directors, take a comparative/cross-cultural approach, track historical development or examine the cinema of a specific nation or region of the world. We seek both pieces that speak to the portrayal of lesbians and work that examines lesbian-made cinema. Additionally, we hope to assemble a group of papers that addresses a variety of lesbian personifications including, but not limited to, diversity across racial-ethnic identity, cultural/national identity, class, family and youth, disability/ableism, and across the lifespan.
We welcome multi-disciplinary approaches to the topic coming from fields such as sociology, cinema studies, cultural studies, literary studies, art history, psychology, communications, and global studies.
Although we are centering upon lesbian cinema, we may also consider explorations of bisexual, transgender, or queer personifications if there is a strong connection to the main focus of the issue.
Please direct inquiries or submit a proposal of no more than 500 words, or a completed paper, and a brief CV to Jennifer Gauthier, Associate Professor of Communication Studies, Randolph College, jgauthier@randolphcollege.edu or Daniel Farr, Visiting Assistant Professor of Sociology, Randolph College, dfarr@randolphcollege.edu by January 1, 2011.

We're currently offering new study abroad opportunities in Costa Rica. We are seeking out schools and universities to partner with. We are an established non- profit educational agency whom is led by myself, Peter F. Fiorentino. We look forward to possible discussions on creating joint ventures with your institution by coordinating RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT and coupling it with our CR TRAVEL--STUDY ABROAD/ INTERNSHIPS. We have a variety of volunteer opportunities for students and faculty alike, which are to the benefit of many!
Our first model community that we are working with is Villareal, which is a small community located in the NW coastal area of Costa Rica approximately 4-5 hours from the main city of San Jose. It is primarily a ranching and agricultural society near the coastal resort of Tamarindo. Our ultimate goal is to create sustainable earth friendly schools in needy rural areas of developing nations, such as Villareal.
We have a multitude of opportunities for faculty and students alike to volunteer time for this effort, while also providing adventure travel to further enjoy the beauty and charm of Costa Rica.
Schools for a Sustainable Future GOAL: To support the development of earth-focused primary and secondary schools throughout the world that aim to grow an eco-literate citizenry, that equip students with the skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to make well informed environmental decisions, and that instill in learners the civic responsibility necessary to become kind and caring stewards of the Earth.
Scholarships GOAL: To enable children and adults throughout the world to engage in formal and community-based learning activities which promote a better understanding of our Earth and its natural resources.
Marine and Biological Research GOAL: To establish marine research and biological laboratories in remote locations around the world. These will be available to students, researchers, and their associates for short-term research. Study of the world's oceans and biological habitats is vital to sustaining humanity and our planet Earth. The Foundation is working to establish facilities at remote sites to offer researchers and students unique opportunities for studying marine ecosystems.
Ecological Preserves GOAL: To acquire and place in perpetual trust at-risk ecosystems. The Foundation will then utilize these as managed and environmentally focused laboratories for the benefit of students, teachers, researchers, visitors, and surrounding communities while at the same time protecting their natural habitat. With ecosystems disappearing at alarming rates, this is one of the most important aspects of the Foundation's work.
Conservation Centers GOAL: To enable communities located near sensitive environmental "hot spots" to establish conservation exhibits and education centers for the benefit of their own citizens, as well as visitors from around the world.
Please see our websites below for more information. Thanks again for your time and please do keep us in mind! I would be more than happy to personally answer any questions you or your institution may have. I also would like to extend an invitation for you to come and visit Tamarindo, Costa Rica to see first hand exactly what we are doing. I am certain you will be impressed!
