Latino/a and Latin American Media Artists, Performers, Consumers, and
Citizens. This American Studies Association 2010 conference panel
seeks papers that examine the uses and designs of media by Latino/a
and Latin American artists, performers, consumers, and citizens,
specifically how they negotiate sociopolitical structures, challenge
conventional artistic forms, circumvent media industry logic, and
present citizen-consumers’ and artists’ alternatives. Possible topics
may be media performance artists, internet curators, digital
filmmakers, community video makers, media activists, or media
consumers. This call is open to perspectives, theoretical approaches,
and methods from a variety of disciplinary areas, including but not
limited to American Studies, Art and Art History, Anthropology,
History, Sociology, Latino/a studies, Latin American studies, media
studies, performance studies, and visual studies. Proposals that
express a relationship to the ASA 2010 conference theme are
encouraged, and they may address race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality,
migration, hybridity, consumer culture, public culture, and cultural
citizenship. The panel will aim to explore media as a site of
artistic, cultural, and political expression of cultural identities
and cultural citizenship of Latino/a and Latin American peoples.
Please send c.v., proposal title, abstract (maximum 500 words), and
any questions to Chad Beck [log in to unmask] by January 14, 2010.
