> Description:
>
> Television, radio, cinema and computers, in addition to print
> media, have greatly expanded access to culture and information

> America. In the 21st century, literatures in both traditional and
> emerging genres are being presented through the media as
> performances, in written and oral forms, and more recently in
> Internet multi-media formats. How do these developments support the
> revitalization of indigenous languages and cultures in these
> territories? Are they accessible to all members of the community?
> How are literary genres evolving in terms of these new modes of
> transmission?  What are the implications of moving from traditional
> literacy to new multi-media literacies in the context of the
> educational and socio-economic situations of indigenous
> communities?  This seminar will be an opportunity to examine
> indigenous literature in the mass media, and to exchange
> information about indigenous language films and recordi!
