* CFP: XVI Recovering the US Hispanic Literary Heritage Conference La
Politiquera: Recovering Politics/Recovering Political Voices We are
pleased to announce the XVI Recovering the US Hispanic Literary Heritage
Conference will convene virtually April 7-9, 2022. The meeting theme, La
Politiquera: Recovering Politics/Recovering Political Voices, seeks to
highlight voices in the archives that chronicle the agency of individuals
and communities in navigating complex political environments and events,
especially in the context of barred access to democratic institutions such
as the courts and voting. What counts as politics when communities are
deemed unrecognizable as a legitimate, enfranchised citizenry? Apart from
the politics that appear in contesting the settler policies of a white,
nationalist, Anglophone hegemony, what are other debates, controversies and
ideologies that inform recovered archives? How do scholars approach and
assess archives when politics in the past often underwrote issues, social
practices and belief systems our communities no longer uphold?
Archivists, librarians, linguists, historians, critics, theorists and
community members are invited to share examples of the legacy they are
recovering, preserving and making available of Hispanic peoples—whether
residents, immigrants or exiles—of the United States over the past
centuries. We seek papers and posters in either English or Spanish that
highlight these many contributions, but also offer critical ways to rethink
issues of agency, gender, sexualities, race/ethnicity, environmental
justice, class and power. Recently, the end date for Recovery research
and topics was adjusted to 1980 in order to give scholars, archivists,
linguists and librarians the stimulus needed to begin the recovery of
the documentary legacy of the 1960s and 1970s. In light of the
vulnerability of the civil rights archives from these decades, we encourage
papers that make use of archival research that provoke a revision of
established literary interpretations and/or historiographies. Papers or
posters on locating, preserving and making accessible political documents
generated by Latinas/os/x in those two decades, and from prior centuries,
are welcome. We invite proposals on the following themes: ● Digital
Humanities ● Analytical studies of recovered authors and/or texts ●
Critical, historical and theoretical approaches to recovered texts ●
Curriculum development: integrating recovered texts into teaching at
university and K-12 levels ● Religious thought and practice ● Environmental
justice as documented prior to 1980 ● Folklore/oral histories ●
Historiography ● Language, translation, bilingualism and linguistics ●
Library and information science ● Social implications and cultural analyses
● Collections and archives: accessioning and critical archive studies ●
Documenting the long road/struggle toward equality ● 1960-1980 only
movement(s)-related research We welcome general audiences, including
graduate students. Undergraduate students are encouraged to submit
proposals for poster presentations. A limited number of student bursaries
may be available. Submit your name, affiliation and 250-word abstract for
presentations/posters by email to apprec@central.uh.edu
<apprec@central.uh.edu> by February 1, 2022. Manos a la obra:
