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
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.

Barra Postdoctoral Fellowship, 2011-2013
Application deadline: 1 November 2010.
The McNeil Center will appoint a recent recipient of the PhD as a Postdoctoral Fellow for a two-year term beginning 1 July 2011. The fellow will receive a starting stipend of at least $41,000; health insurance; private office space in the Center's building at the northeastern gateway to the University of Pennsylvania's historic campus; library, computer, and other privileges at the university; and access to the Philadelphia area's magnificent manuscript, rare book and museum collections. Modest funds for travel and research are available. During the two-year term of appointment, the fellow will teach two courses in an appropriate department at the University of Pennsylvania. All McNeil Center fellows are expected to be in residence during the academic year and to participate in the Center's program of seminars and other activities.
The remainder of the fellow’s time will be devoted to research and writing.

Proposals dependent on the use of Philadelphia-area archives and libraries are particularly welcome. During or after the term of
appointment, the fellow may submit his or her manuscript for consideration by the Center’s Early American Studies series, published by the University of Pennsylvania Press, but will be under no obligation to do so.
Applicants must have earned the PhD no earlier than 2006 in American

a cover sheet (http://www.mceas.org/postdoc.pdf);
a curriculum vitae;
a research proposal of 3-5 double-spaced pages; and
