Meeting Description:

This conference seeks to investigate how the Humanities, and in particular
Language & Literature departments, respond to historical and current events of
social injustice.

In a world still reeling from the 2008 economic crisis, social movements have
denounced the growing disparity between a politically unrepresented majority
—the so-called 99.9%— and an increasingly wealthy and powerful elite protected
by repressive and militarized forces. Movements such as os rolezinhos in
Brazil, demonstrations for los 43 de Ayotzinapa in Mexico, Black Lives Matter
in the US, 15-M in Spain and the Chilean student protests respond to the
precarity, violence and injustice that have been normalized. They manifest
resistance and reclaim public spaces, reimagining new means of producing
culture, and reappropriating language to subvert the hegemonic ideologies that
perpetuate asymmetrical power relations. 

This conference seeks to investigate how the Humanities, and in particular
Language & Literature departments, respond to historical and current events of
social injustice. How have representations of resistance in cultural
production informed social movements in the Luso-Hispanic world? How can the
university be more active and engaged in their surrounding communities? How
have 21st century social movements revolutionized the way culture is produced
and consumed in the Luso-Hispanic world? How do we protect indigenous and
minority languages? How do we guarantee access to basic services in any native
tongue?
