Examine the colonial exploitation of Nigerian museums and how we might rewrite their histories to reflect the locals’ accounts and understanding.< /h3>
Nigerian museums were established and interpreted by the British col onialists\, the same people who historize Nigeria’s art and culture. During the colonial period\, Africans were seen as retarded and uncivilized\, the refore\, the Europeans who went to Africa were there with the intention to change them and train them to live in an “acceptable” civilized way. They c reated a Eurocentric dominated narrative about African art and culture that was mainly influenced by their Western perspective and their experience in Africa as visitors. Cultural and art objects were classified and translate d through European museum paradigms and policies.
Unfortunately\, Afr ican museums\, with a specific focus on Nigeria\, have continued to uphold the same history attached to their establishment with little or no change. National museums in Nigeria\, governed by the National Commission for Museu ms and Monuments (NCMM)\, are functioning under a modification of the antiq uities policy that established them with no visible improvement.
How might we rewrite Nigerian museum histories to reflect the locals’ accounts and understanding? With the use of Foucault’s idea of Dispositif\, Titilope Salami will examine the history of museums in Nigeria explaining their colonial exploitation and how the narrative has not changed despite t he country’s independence. Salami will also discuss how ethnicity\, class\, and educational and professional backgrounds have continued to influence N igerian museum discourse.
About the presenter:
Titilope Salami\, an artist and curator\, is a doctoral student in the d epartment of Art History\, Visual Art & Theory at the University of British Columbia. She is currently conducting her Ph.D. research in the history an d policies of West African museums. She is a recipient of SSHRC Doctoral Fe llowship (2021-2024).

Join Olúwáṣọlá Kẹ́h ìndé Olówó-Aké in a virtual talk that discusses black lives and racial inju stice in Vancouver—and how her online exhibit seeks to tell her story.
About Ahọn Dudu:
"Before I moved to Va ncouver\, I was told that it was a diverse place. In fact\, this trait will be a contributing factor to my ease of finding home here. Upon arrival\, m y experience of this place proved different from the ideas I was told\; thi s made me curious and further led me to embark on a journey of inquiry—I wa s going to find out why the disparities were existing and how to exist holi stically within this environment.
Ahọn Dudu is an online exhibit that aims at using Yorùbá storytelling frameworks to tell stories about my experience with lack of black communal culture in Van couver. I tell these stories through the Yorùbá lens of ‘the spectacle’—a s how put on to teach and entertain\; which encompasses oral storytelling\, p oetry\, song\, dance and garment construction.
The stories that make up this body of work are expressions of my own recent experiences. They are responses to racial barriers I encountered over the Summer of 2020 as the Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests were unfolding and heightening in America and here in Vancouver\, Canada. They are a recount of the continuous conve rsations that occurred in my life—as I discussed black lives\, racism\, pol ice brutality and many other forms of injustice—within the community I was a part of."

Organisé par le Centre de la Francophonie de UBC et l'Alliance Française de Vancouver
Rejoignez-nous pour la première conférence sur la langue de cette saison le jeudi 25 novembre à 17h30\, sur Zoom ! Événement gratuit.
La confé rence
D’un point de linguistique\, toutes les langues se valent. Mai s d’un point de vue social\, certaines langues et certains accents sont per çus comme étant prestigieux alors que d’autres sont stigmatisés. Les locute urs de ces langues et accents stigmatisés sont parfois (ou souvent même!) v ictimes de discrimination linguistique. Mais qu’est-ce que la discriminatio n linguistique\, exactement? Cette forme de discrimination peut être subtil e\, involontaire et difficile à reconnaître. Elle se produit\, par exemple\ , lorsqu’une personne se voit refuser un service\, un logement ou un emploi \, ou encore lorsque qu’elle subit toute forme de rejet en lien son accent ou sa façon de parler. Mais la langue que nous parlons est en lien avec not re histoire\, notre culture\, notre origine géographique\, notre origine et hnique et notre identité. Donc cette forme de discrimination est particuliè rement blessante et nuisible. Une des façons de combattre la discrimination linguistique est de savoir identifier le processus qui discrimine et en co nnaître les raisons. C’est ce que je propose de faire avec vous durant cett e présentation sur la langue et son pouvoir discriminatoire.

The Madonna of Me rcy – Detail: the oldest representation of Florence\, fresco\, 14th century (Florence\, Museum of Bigallo)
Attend a virtual talk by Dr. Da niela Boccassini about "Dante's Sense of Place: Shifting Perspective on Exi le and Ecology."
About the talk:
Dante’s relationship to Flo rence\, his native city\, underwent deep changes after he was sentenced to exile in perpetuity\, in 1302. His Comedìa is a testimony to these changes\, and can be understood as the poetic\, visionary outcome of Dante ’s journey of inner transformation. This talk retraces the process that led Dante radically to reshape his relationship to place\, and to achieve a tr uly universal sense of belonging – one that surprises us in shedding light on what a truly “ecological” relationship to place means and implies.

About th e presenter:
Fred Kudjo Kuwornu is an Italian-Ghana ian documentary filmmaker\, producer\, civil rights activist and educator. His documentaries deal with political and social themes\, such as racism\, interracial relations\, diversity\, Afro-Italians and Black diasporic ident ity in Italy\, and the African diaspora in the world. His production compan y is called “Do the Right Films\,” in honor of Spike Lee who has influenced Kuwornu’s work since his early years.
In 2008\, Fred works as produc
tion assistant for Spike Lee's Miracle at Sant'Anna [2008]. On the
set of this films\, Fred is inspired to create his first documentary\,
In 2011\, Fred becomes a civil right activist for the so-called "Second Generation Italians\," chil dren of immigrants born in Italy but who\, because of the Italian Ius Sangu inis\, are not allowed to become citizens. He first starts the social campa ign "Sono nato qui" ("I was born here")\, and then starts working on the do cumentary 18 Ius Soli (2011)\, which will become one of the first documentaries for social change produced and distributed i n Italy.
In 2013\, Fred Kuwornu moves himself and his production comp
any\, Do the Right Films\, to Brooklyn. Here\, in 2016\, he produces
With the web series Blaq•IT\, star ted in 2020\, Fred Kuwornu experiments with the hybridization of documentar y and the aesthetic storytelling of social media. The series details the hi storical presence of African descent in Italy\, hence presenting not only t he recent history of refugees and migrants of the 1990s\, but also the broa d and incredibly rich universe of Italians of African descent who have been influencing Italian mass culture (through music\, social media\, Tv\, spor t\, arts\, publications\, activism).

Le Séminaire Marguerite de Navarre\, lanc é à l’occasion du 530e anniversaire de la naissance de la sœur d e François Ier a pour but de croiser différentes perspectives de recherche sur la reine et son œuvre. L’intérêt pour ces questions ne dimin ue pas\, ce que prouvent les colloques\, les publications et même la nouvel le biographie de Marguerite de Navarre parue en 2021. Heureusement\, il n’e st plus nécessaire d’adopter une démarche apologétique et remettre en quest ion son statut d’auteur prétendument « mineur »\, puisque les précédentes g énérations de seiziémistes ont mis en évidence son rôle crucial dans le mon de des lettres durant le règne de François Ier. En même temps il reste beaucoup à dire sur la langue et le style\, la poétique et la rhétor ique\, la pensée religieuse et la spiritualité\, l’influence et le rayonnem ent\, sans perdre de vue la dimension historique et culturelle de l’action de celle qui était en son temps appelée la « perle des Valois ».
Nous avons imaginé un séminaire qui rassemblerait des chercheurs de différents pays et différents fuseaux horaires et qui deviendrait\, autant que possibl e\, une sorte d’atelier collaboratif. Ce séminaire donnera l’occasion de re ncontres et de débats en invitant historiens et littéraires à se pencher su r Marguerite de Navarre et son œuvre pour en apporter de nouveaux éclairage s.
La nouvelle de la mort de Robert D. Cottrell auquel les études mar garitiques doivent tant nous a surpris lors des préparatifs de ce séminaire . Nous avons décidé de rendre hommage à sa mémoire en lui dédiant nos réfle xions et nos travaux.

Talk by Dr. Marie-Eve Bouchard< /h3>
This presentation is part of Arts Multilingual Week.
Dr. Marie -Eve Bouchard will be presenting about her project involving the creation o f sound map that offers a visual and auditive map of different varieties of French across Canada\, which you can access here.
The primary goal of this project is to provid e a learning tool (a website) that will allow French teachers\, speakers\, and learners to discover\, experience\, discuss\, and hopefully appreciate language variation in Canada. The secondary goals of this project are 1) to raise awareness about linguistic and cultural diversity in Canada through the use of an education tool\, 2) to recognize and value different varietie s of French that are perceived as non-standard\, 3) to foster respect throu gh inclusive language education\, and 4) to collect new data.
The tal k will be held in French.

Talk by Dr. Luisa Maffi\, Co-founder and Director of Terralingua
This presentation is part of Arts Multilingual Week.
About the t alk:
When talking about multilingualism at a societal level\, we usu ally tend to refer to the presence (and recognition) of a variety of both n ative and immigrant languages within a country. From that point of view\, C anada certainly counts as a multilingual country\, with at least 200 immigr ant languages and over 70 Indigenous languages spoken (or signed) within it s borders in addition to its two official languages. British Columbia is al so strongly multilingual\, both in terms of immigrant languages and by comp rising about half of all the Indigenous languages of Canada.
But how often do we think of “multilingualism without borders”—that is\, the total diversity of languages spoken in the world today? Globally\, the earth spea ks in over 7\,100 different tongues. Only a few of those languages have ver y large numbers of speakers\, with about 25 languages comprising a whole ha lf of the world’s population. The remaining 7\,000+ languages\, the large m ajority of which are Indigenous\, account for the other half\, which implie s that most of them have much smaller populations of speakers.
Celebr ating multilingualism in its fullest sense means embracing all of the world ’s linguistic diversity. It also means opening up to a broader understandin g of linguistic diversity as a part of the biocultural diversity of life on earth: diversity in both nature and culture. In this talk\, we will explor e biocultural diversity as both an idea and a field of knowledge and action and consider its significance for achieving a just\, equitable\, and susta inable future for people and the planet.

This presentation will first touch on the “medieval” drawings of Proust\, as way of introduction regarding re search on the documents (letters and manuscripts) surrounding the Proustian text. We will touch on methods of archival research. We will then explore the medieval theme in the narrative and the poetics of La Recherche through chosen close readings. Genette’s notion of palimpsest writing wil l serve to explore the idea and practice of the manuscript.

Presentation 2
Proust in the Chinese Shadow: Ideology\, Visuality\, Tran scultural Constellation with Shuangyi Li\, University of Bristol (in E nglish)
Date: November 29\, 2022 (Tuesday)
Location: Buchanan
Tower\, Room 726 (or Zoom)
Proust neither visited China\, nor did he write substantially on China. This talk is about the strictly literary journey of how Proust’s work made it to China and back by means of tr anslation\, reception\, and creative engagement. We will start with the ide ological aspects of the translation and reception of Proust’s works in 20th – and 21st-century China. Then\, we will get a quick overview of the availa ble translations\, editions\, and adaptations of Proust’s In Search of Lost Time in China\, highlighting a range of editorial and publication features\, from various paratexts to visual exhibitions. Finally\ , we will schematically outline Chinese and Chinese diasporic writers’ and artists’ remarkably varied creative responses to\, and engagements with\, P roust\, ranging from superficial citations to kitsch TV dramas\, and from a esthetic inspirations to intellectual and artistic dialogues.

Presented by the Sound and the Humanit ies Research Cluster\, in collaboration with Green College.
As part of the Sound Silence Power series\, you are invited to a talk by Dr. Luis E. Cárcamo-Huechante\, a Mapuche scholar and Associate Profess or of Spanish at the University of Texas at Austin
In Times of Acou stic Colonialism: The Enduring Sounds of the Mapuche
Radio\, music\, and language have become sites for what Prof. Luis Cárcamo-Huechante calls ‘Indigenous interferences.’ In this talk\, Cárcamo-Huechante shows how Map uche singers\, artists\, and media activists in what is today known as Chil e wield forms of Indigenous agency to sonically disrupt the airwaves of ‘ac oustic colonialism’—an aural and sonic regime through which the Chilean sta te and settler agents deploy linguistic\, environmental\, and technological sounds in efforts to culturally and racially marginalize the Mapuche peopl e. In response\, Mapuche radiophonic\, musical and linguistic interferences embody aural\, cultural\, and political manifestations of an “enduring ind igeneity” that challenges the hegemonic waves of acoustic colonialism.
< p>The talk will be followed by a wine and charcuterie reception in the Gree n College Piano Lounge.

Presented by Dr. Joël Castongu ay-Bélanger (Associate Professor of French)\, FHIS
Respondent: Mary Cook (PhD Student of French)\, FHIS
About the talk:
In The Dawn of Everything (2021)\, David Graeber and Davi d Wengrow propose a bold reexamination of humanity's history\, challenging the conventional narrative surrounding the origins of social inequality. Ce ntral to their thesis is the idea that 18th-century Enlightenment philosoph ers were significantly influenced by an "indigenous critique" arising in No rth America—a perspective that\, they argue\, has been largely overlooked b y mainstream Enlightenment historiography. While their work has sparked obj ections from critics and historians on several fronts\, it has also garnere d considerable enthusiasm\, reigniting public debate about 18th-century lit erature and intellectual history. In this talk\, Joël Castonguay-Bélanger w ill discuss these polarized reactions and their implications for understand ing the intellectual climate of our time.

The French Revolution of 1789 left a profound mark on the French imagination. As a foundational rupture\, it inspired a considerable amount of discourse aimed at recounting\, explainin g\, and commenting on this event\, which sought to break free from the old order and build a new world. Novels\, poems\, songs\, plays\, newspapers\, engravings\, and pamphlets published during the decade of 1789-1799 attempt ed to capture this revolution as much as they contributed to its mythologiz ation. More than two centuries later\, the representation of this political and social upheaval remains a significant aspect of French identity. Histo rians\, writers and filmmakers continue to share the duty of questioning th ese years of euphoria and violence to give them meaning for the present.
Through a combination of visits of historical landmarks and museums\, a nd the study of authentic 18th-century documents and contemporary fictions\ , this course aims to equip students with the necessary tools to better und erstand this event\, its legacy\, and the debates around its diverse interp retations. It also seeks to provoke a general reflection on the relationshi ps between history and fiction and on the recurring debates surrounding the representations given to the origins and repercussions of this period in F rench history.

Presented by Dr. Gaoheng Zhang (Associate Professor of Italian)\, FHIS
Respondent: Dr. Anna Casas Aguilar (A ssociate Professor of Spanish)\, FHIS
About the talk:
Abstract: This presentation d raws from my forthcoming book – Italian Dumplings and Chinese Pizzas: T ranscultural Food Mobilities – to be published with Fordham University Press in 2025. During the 1980s\, Chinese cuisine became the first non-Eur opean food widely available in Italy thanks to the widespread presence of C hinese eateries. Only American fast food\, which established itself in Ital y around the same time\, enjoyed comparable popularity as a destination for Italians’ culinary tourism. Fast-forwarding to the late 2010s\, local popu lations viewed Milan’s vibrant Chinese foodscape as enhancing the fashion c apital’s cosmopolitanism. The larger context of this phenomenon is mass imm igration to Italy which began in the 1980s\, when Italy rapidly changed fro m an emigrant-sending to an immigrant-receiving country. Since then\, the C hinese have remained the fourth largest migrant group in numbers.
In this talk\, I first provide a historical overview of Chinese migrant-manage d food entrepreneurship in Italy\, using the 2003 SARS outbreak and the Cov id-19 pandemic as two watershed moments. Then I analyze the depictions of C hinese food in Italy’s largest-circulating newspaper\, Corriere della S era\, from the 1960s to the present day\, showing how Italians’ Chines e culinary tourism in Milan interacted with Chinese American food culture i n various stimulating ways. I want to understand why Chinese migrants’ cuis ine was turned into “ethnic food” even when this food has had a longstandin g and substantial presence within contemporary Italy’s foodscape.

Application deadline: December 5\ , 2024
Totally immersing yourself in a language and culture is one of the most effective ways to learn Spanish!
This intensive Spanish cou rse will be taught in the Galapagos Islands during Summer 2025. Course assi gnments and learning goals will directly relate to students’ firsthand expe riences while studying in this “living museum and showcase of evolution.” T he local people\, the archipelago of volcanic islands\, and their immense m arine reserve offer a unique and enriching setting in which to immerse your self in. Students’ experience will be deepened by excursions and guest spea kers from renowned institutions such as the Charles Darwin Research Centre\ , the Rural Giant Tortoise Ranch\, Las Grietas\, etc.
The course aims to broaden students’ understanding of the rich cultural and ecological her itage of the Galapagos Islands\, strengthen students’ understanding of inte rcultural topics\, and improve their Spanish language proficiency. The cour se will be centered on project‐based learning so that students can take adv antage of their life in the Galapagos beyond the classroom. To immerse stud ents further in the language and culture\, this course will incorporate vlo gs\, interviews\, independent site visits\, journal writing\, and a final m ultidisciplinary project.
Additionally\, students will focus on impro ving their everyday communication\, while also acquiring greater precision in the description of both past events and everyday needs. This focus allow s students to develop higher level language skills for expressing thoughts\ , emotions\, feelings\, and desires in the present and future.

Talk by Prof. Ana T. Pérez-Leroux\, University of Toronto< /h2>
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools by students has upende d our approaches to university teaching and assessment. This presentation a dvocates for the mindful exploration of AI tools by inverting the power dyn amics of standard university research assignments.
Prof. Ana T. Pérez -Leroux from the University of Toronto will discuss a project from one of h er Spanish Descriptive Grammar courses\, where students were tasked with us ing ChatGPT to complete an assignment and then assess the tool's responses. She will discuss the logic of the approach\, the results\, and the student experience.
Full presentation description:
Students in a Spa nish Descriptive Grammar course were presented with an assignment aimed at discovering the linguistic characteristics of generic reference in Spanish\ ; that is\, sentences where the subject refers to kinds rather than specifi c entities\, and/or the predicate denotes habitual/characterizing situation s (Los leones son carnívoros ‘lions are carnivorous’). Students w ere assigned to one of three themes: 1) the use of determiners in generic n oun phrases\; 2) the role of tenses in generic references\, where there is a satisfactory although more limited research literature\, and 3) the effec t of subject realization in generic reference. The answers could be easily discovered using fairly standard intuitional tools of syntactic research\, but differed in the amount of accessible research\, from extensive treatmen ts in the linguistic literature comparing English and the Romance languages and in the second language acquisition literature (1)\, to some research a vailable (2). For the last topic\, there is no specific work treating the t opic. Students were invited to use ChatGPT to solve the grammar assignment\ , and subsequently trained on the topic of generic language in English. In the final step\, the student teams were asked to assess (and give a mark to ) the response developed with the ChatGPT tool. In this presentation\, I di scuss the logic of the approach \, the results\, and student experience.

To immers e students further in the language and culture\, this course will incorpora te vlogs\, interviews\, independent site visits\, journal writing\, and a f inal multidisciplinary project.
Additionally\, students will focus on improving their everyday communication\, while also acquiring greater prec ision in the description of both past events and everyday needs. This focus allows students to develop higher level language skills for expressing tho ughts\, emotions\, feelings\, and desires in the present and future. Last b ut not least\, Spanish 203\, offered on the Galapagos Islands\, is a rare o pportunity to achieve personal growth in a truly unique setting in South Am erica!

Presented by Prof . Carolina Pizarro Cortes (Universidad de Santiago de Chile) and Prof. José Santos-Herceg (Universidad de Santiago de Chile)
Sponsored by: Latin American Research Cluster\, Dorothy Dallas Fund
A bout the talk:
Latin American liberationist thought ("pens amiento liberacionista") has an extensive tradition. At the center of its r eflections is the status of the “other” subject within the context of Euroc entric modernity\, whose origin is located in the period of the conquest of the South American continent. From this point of view\, colonial dominatio n – which manifests itself to this day as coloniality – produced an oppress ive value hierarchy in which American subjects\, as well as their natural w orld\, were left in a situation of inferiority that made them "available" f or the Westerners. Starting from this premise\, we would like to address so me of the most relevant milestones of Latin America’s “pensamiento liberaci onista\,” whose critical diagnosis constitutes a contribution to contempora ry debates on the relationship between the human and non-human and on natur e as a subject of rights.

About the talk:
In the 19th and early 20th centuries\, 3000-8000 Africans and African descendants mainly from Bra zil relocated to the Bight of Benin and developed extensive urban settlemen ts in what is today Benin\, Ghana\, Nigeria\, and Togo. Two Francophone Afr ican authors have drawn attention to the Brazilian returnee communities an d their immense legacy in Togo and Benin. In their novels Les Enfants d u Brésil and Les Fantômes du Brésil\, Kangni Alem and Florent Couao-Zotti retrieve an obscured chapter of transatlantic history and reim agine the establishment of an economic\, political\, and cultural elite who se influence can still be felt in cities such as Lomé and Ouidah. Both auth ors infuse their novels with historical and ethnological elements that are transformed by literature through what Alem calls “material imagination”. I will read the novels through the lens of what Russell King and Anastasia C hristou call “return mobilities”\, a term that describes a wide variety of migratory counter-currents and thus enables me to discuss the novels’ compl ex returnee identities and notions of home. I particularly draw on Christin Hess’ concept of “reverse diaspora”\, originally used in the European cont ext.

Presenter: Anna Casas Aguilar\, Associate Professor of Spanish (FHIS)
Respondent: Mirta Roncagalli\, PhD Stu dent of Hispanic Studies (FHIS)
About the talk:
Novels such as Les possessions (2018) by Llucia Ramis\, docu mentary films such as Hotel Explotación: Las Kellys (2018) by Geor gina Cisquella or City for Sale (2019) by Laura Álvarez Soler\, gr aphic novels such as Todo bajo el sol (2021) by Ana Penyas or the essays Verano sin vacaciones. Las hijas de la Costa del sol (2023) by Ana Geranios\, Estuve aquí y me acordé de nosotro s (2024) by Anna Pacheco or Gozo by Azahara Alonso can be con sidered some of most representative examples of the growing interest that a new generation of female artists\, writers and directors have taken on the theme of tourism in Spain. Through changing landscapes and new buildings s uch seafront hotels (massive buildings transforming waterfront spaces)\, th rough objects (particularly souvenirs) and through the overworked bodies of workers (in their majority female)\, these authors speak of a material wor ld that replaces a disappearing one: an irrecuperable family house\, a chil dhood landscape\, certain promised work conditions\, the physical and menta l health of their loved ones. My presentation will look closely at the jour nal/essay Verano sin vacaciones. Las hijas de la Costa del sol (2023) by Ana Geranios to explore this. I argue that Geranio ’s text\, along with these other works\, aims to make visible the big lie t hat surrounds the tourist industry in a neoliberal and consumerist society: that tourism is a source of richness and prosperity. On the contrary\, the se works make the case that tourism is related to lost\, exploitative condi tions\, economic poverty\, decline of culture and the disappearance of auto chthonous traditions\, and with all this\, of a more sustainable way of lif e. In this way\, female authors focus on the most pressing and evident mate rial elements and on an increasingly challenging day by day to portray the impact of tourism in their surroundings.

Presenter: Dr. Ramón Antonio (Arturo) Vict oriano-Martinez\, Assistant Professor of Spanish (FHIS)
Respondent: Paul Haase\, PhD Student of Hispanic Studies (FHIS)
About the talk:
This presentation explores the early works of Ro berto Marcallé Abreu\, a Dominican author known for his critical portrayal of urban life and political transitions in Santo Domingo during the post-19 65 period. Focusing on Las dos muertes de José Inirio (1972) and < em>Cinco bailadores sobre la tumba caliente del licenciado (1978)\, th e analysis reveals Marcallé's engagement with themes of fragmented identiti es\, political betrayal\, and urban alienation under Joaquín Balaguer’s aut horitarian regime. Employing fragmented narrative structures\, Marcallé cap tures the psychological disorientation of characters grappling with the soc io-political upheavals of 1965 and their aftermath. His portrayal of Santo Domingo as both a symbol of modernization and a site of displacement unders cores the paradoxes of urban growth and social inequality.

Presenter: Natalia Soracipa Ortiz\, P hD Student of Spanish (University of Calgary)
Respondent: Elizabeth Lagresa-González\, Assistant Professor of Spanish (FHIS)
A bout the talk:
The Method of Physical Actions\, proposed b y Stanislavski in the last years of his career and further developed by Jer zy Grotowski\, provides tools to help actors achieve organicity and veracit y in their performances. These tools aim to “teach not just my mind\, but t he whole of my being\,” as Thomas Richards mentions in At Work with Grotows ki on Physical Actions (3). In Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and the st udy of Golden Age texts\, implementing this method in the classroom becomes a dynamic source for learners to connect with language and the character’s fictional world from their personal experience while creating connections between their contemporary world and the author’s. In this speech\, I will explain how I have implemented Stanislavski’s method in the teaching of Ana Caro’s Valor\, agravio\, y mujer\, and Maria de Zayas’ La fuerza del amor and La más infame venganza as part of my thesis project in the creation of a new teaching model. I will also give an overview of how implementing phys ical movement to study the student/character’s impulses and inner voice has taken the learner to break stereotypical conceptions of the characters and has raised discussions about gender\, race\, and other sociocultural topic s.

Presenter: Rosi Song\, Professor\, School of Mod ern Languages and Cultures (Durham University)
Sponsored by Lati n American and Caribbean Landscapes Cluster
About the talk:
Rosi Song discusses the burgeoning field of Food Stu dies and their intersection with History\, Cultural Studies\, Latin America n and Iberian Studies. While the ever-evolving study of food and nutrition has contributed to the understanding of societal debates as recipes and foo d practices were passed down from generation to generation\, new interest i n food traditions as linked to specific geographic territories and as intan gible heritage artifacts offer us a valuable opportunity to interrogate som e common perceptions about the food we consume and our relationship to them . How has the study of food been utilized to address larger issues relating to cultural heritage and identity\, especially in the present when food co nsumption and food expectations have become increasingly global? How can we understand foodways as the embodiment of change and the movement of people amid environmental and social transformations under duress and violence ye t at the same time engage with pseudo essentialist discourses entangled wit h emotions about belonging and subjectivities? How can developing an unders tanding of food practices address or help us envision common ties while pro tecting cultural heritage\, or how can we conceive geographic mobility thro ugh food in an increasingly connected but also fragmented world? Can food c ulture be part of this conversation and what should it contribute? Thinking about food through the linguistic\, geographic and material boundaries tha t traditionally define the fields of Latin American\, Caribbean and Iberian Studies\, this talk explores how social and cultural values that are susta ined by ideas of tradition and conservation can teach us about our ever-cha nging multicultural foodscapes.

Presenter: Flora Amann\, Postdoctoral Res earch Fellow (FHIS)
Respondent: Joël Castonguay-Bélanger\, Associat e Professor of French (FHIS)
About the talk:
The Age of Enlightenment was a turning point in the history of the deaf. The late eighteenth century was marked by the work of Abbé de L’Épée and t he invention of a method that made it possible for the first time to teach French to deaf people using their natural language: gesture. In this lectur e\, I will show that this new knowledge was built from the grammatical\, rh etorical\, and aesthetic reflections of the Enlightenment philosophy on the relationship between the French language and the image. Not only did the A ge of Enlightenment witness the emergence of sign linguistics\, but it also redefined deafness as a unique perspective on language and the world\, as an aesthetic experience.

Presenter: Isabella Huberman\, Ass istant Professor of French (FHIS)
Respondent: Sarah Henzi\, Assista nt Professor of Indigenous Studies (Simon Fraser University)
About the talk:
Hydro-Québec’s Romaine River megaproject \, completed in 2023 on unceded Innu territory\, brought to the surface dis parate narratives of belonging held by Québécois and Innu actors on the Que bec cultural scene. Public debate over this resource extraction project has revealed conflicting efforts to give meaning and legitimacy to attachments to land. I turn to several stories of the Romaine\, both Innu and Québécoi s\, that transmit distinct feelings of belonging: a documentary play by Mon treal-based actor Christine Beaulieu\, briefs from the public hearing on th e environment held in Ekuanitshit\, an autofictional novel by Côte-Nord aut hor Erika Soucy\, and the most recent collection of poetry by Rita Mestokos ho. In gathering different kinds of cultural texts from both Innu and Québé cois voices\, I propose a method of “reading the river” through the narrati ves that claim it.

Book cover of Cartografías del bosque (2025) by Ma
ría Adelaida Escobar Trujillo. Published by P & P Editores. Cover art by An
a María Cadavid.[/caption]
Written by Tamara Mitchell
Blendin g narrative nonfiction\, nature writing\, and poetry\, María Adelaida Escob ar Trujillo’s C artographies of the Woods is a love letter to an adopted land and to the companions—human\, canine\, sylvan\, and marine—that cohabit the aut hor’s world. With a voice evocative of Mariana Oliver’s Aves migratoria s or Elisabeth Tova Bailey’s The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating \, Escobar offers a moving reflection on migration and belonging\, human an d natural relations\, life and death\, and love and kinship.
The nonh uman world in Escobar’s lyrical language is not distant and anonymous\, but deeply rooted in place\, specifically\, the tropical Andes of Colombia and \, especially\, the forested shores of British Columbia. From lichen to sea lions\, hummingbirds to bears\, Escobar’s vivid prose lends agency and vit ality to her more-than-human surroundings\, while also capturing the fragil ity of life. A poignant contribution to Hispanic-Canadian letters\, Car tographies offers an intimate meditation on migration\, memory\, and o ur relationships with the natural world.

Presented by Tamara Mitchell\, Assistant Professor of Sp anish (UBC FHIS)\; Tesi Aguirre\, PhD Student in Spanish (UBC FHIS)\; and K atharina Piechocki\, Associate Professor of French and Romance Studies (UBC FHIS)
About the talk:
This research seminar brings together three scholars from across the Department of French\, Hisp anic and Italian Studies (FHIS)—Tamara Mitchell (Assistant Professor of Spa nish)\, Tesi Aguirre (PhD Student in Spanish) and Katharina Piechocki (Asso ciate Professor of French and Romance Studies)—to talk about the ways we do \, approach and conduct research. Designed as an open conversation\, this s eminar starts from the premise that we do not talk enough about the nitty-g ritty\, the pedestrian side of our research—no matter if we’re students or faculty. This seminar\, then\, inquires about the minutiae of the research process:
- What exactly do we do when we “do research”?
- Ho w do we start a research project\, and what exactly drives us?
- What is our point of departure and how do we proceed from there?
- What d o we do when we struggle?
- How do we work across languages and disci plines?
- To what degree does contingency\, serendipity and marketabi lity play a role in the shaping of our research project?
- How do we embark on collaborative projects?
This seminar wants to stimula te an open conversation with the audience by offering three distinct perspe ctives to these questions.
The event will be held in English.

The task o f translating and\, even more so\, interpreting puts the body of the transl ator and interpreter center stage.

This talks focuses on the interpreter's body as a site of analysis to offer a critical frame for reflecting on the embod ied demands of the profession\, in particular in times of AI\, when "bodies " have all-too-often become problems to be solved or eliminated.
This event will take place in English.

Presented by Daniela Boccassini\, Professor of Italian (UB C FHIS)
About the talk:
How did we come to s ever the bond of reciprocity that tied us to the natural world? How did we come to forget that our sense perceptions\, our human languages and ways of knowing are inextricably tied to the “more than human world” to which we b elong? Rediscovering the “sensuous” in the porous relationship with the ani mated environment means rediscovering our place in the aliveness of an “env eloping” world\, on which we depend for our mental sanity\, even more than for our physical survival.
Daniela Boccassini is going to share with us why and how she translated David Abram's ground-breaking book The Sp ell of the Sensuous (1996) / L’incanto del sensibile (Italian ed.\, 2026)\, at a time when the gifts of our “natural intelligen ce” are being overshadowed by what the industry insidiously peddles as the panacea of “artificial intelligence”. As students and teachers in the Human ities\, it is our call to remember and spell out\, on the brink of the Grea t Vanishing\, what makes us humans\, in convivial partnership with the “mor e-than-human” world.
The event will be held in English.

UBC's Department of French\, Hispanic a nd Italian Studies (FHIS) and the Consulate General of Portugal in Vancouve r are collaborating to organize a seminar with the Portuguese-Canadian writ er and playwright Elaine Ávila\, dedicated to Fado\, the popular u rban music of Portugal.
Fado is a musical genre encompassing music and poetry\, widely practiced by diverse communities\, notably in Li sbon. It represents a multicultural synthesis of Afro-Brazilian sung dances \, traditional local genres of song and dance\, musical traditions from rur al areas of the country brought by successive waves of internal migration\, and the cosmopolitan patterns of urban music from the early 19th century. In 2011\, Fado was declared by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
About the presentation
Acclaimed Portuguese Canadi
an playwright Elaine Ávila is known for her sold out hit play\, Fado: T
he Saddest Music in the World. A tale of love and ghosts set in the ba
ck alleys and brothels of old Lisbon\, it tells the story of a young woman
confronting her country’s fascist past and her own identity\, interwoven wi
th the heartbreaking national music of Portugal known as Fado\, wh
ich means “fate.”
In her talk\, Elaine will discuss fado< /em> music as emblematically Portuguese\, world heritage\, transversal thro ughout the diaspora\, fascist propaganda and resistance to fascism.
The seminar will be followed by a debate.
This event will be held mostly in English and is open to the public\, bringing together studen ts from Portuguese language courses\, teachers\, academics\, and members of the Lusophone communities in Vancouver.

About the talk:
What is the relationship between artistic c reation and human reproduction? How have female authors confronted a canon marked by an androcentric perspective that simultaneously praises and denig rates motherhood? Motherhood is perhaps one of the best-kept secrets with e normous creative potential that\, nevertheless\, has been conveniently sile nced—until now:
Madres que cuentan / Mothers Who Count (2024)\, edited by Ma rina Bettaglio and Olga Albarrán Caselles\, presents 16 interviews with pro minent writers in the Latin American literary field who\, in recent years\, have published works that make motherhood the central theme of their narra tives\, including Claudia Piñeiro\, Lola López Mondéjar\, Gabriela Wiener\, Mar García Puig\, Rosario Izquierdo\, and Margarita García Robayo.
T his event will be held in Spanish.

Presented by Prof. David Jorge\, Research Professor (Centro de Estudios Históricos\, Colegio de México)
About the talk:
The Spanish Civil War was much more than a mere civil war a mong Spaniards. Framed within the growing international crisis of the inter war period\, it was an international war by proxy\, consciously planned and contained within Spain's borders. The Spanish Civil War undoubtedly consti tutes the pivotal event of a "long 20th century in Spain." Today\, 90 years after the start of the conflict (and 95 years after the proclamation of th e Second Republic)\, the controversies have been far from abating\; quite t he contrary. Disputes surrounding historical reconstruction and memorializa tion are ever-present in the country's political and sociocultural arena\, as well as in private lives. Within this framework\, this seminar will anal yze the different phases of the Spanish Civil War (including its antecedent s and consequences)\, maintaining a constant balance between the Spanish co ntext and the international framework that surrounded and\, often\, determi ned it. The war of 1936-1939 is\, for Spain\, a past that refuses to fade.< /p>
This event will be held in Spanish.

Weaving Knowledges T hrough Languages\, Cultures\, and Literatures
The FHIS Graduate Student Symposium serves as a platform where gr aduate students at various stages of their program come together to share t heir work\, exchange ideas\, and build connections across linguistic and cu ltural boundaries.
The title of this year's symposium\, "Weav ing Knowledges Through Languages\, Cultures\, and Literatures\," r eflects a core conviction: that knowledge is not produced in isolation\, bu t woven together through the encounter of languages\, traditions\, and pers pectives. The symposium values the cross-disciplinary energy that emerges w hen these fields are brought into conversation.
Presentations will be delivered in English\, French and Spanish.
