Call for Papers for a Session at CASCA 2011: Seeds of hope? Signs of Life in Latin America

Call for Papers for a Session at CASCA 2011

Seeds of hope? Signs of Life in Latin America
The dawn of the 21st century has seen a leftward turn in many Latin
American countries, altering the social, political and cultural
landscape. The papers in this session examine contemporary life
under these new conditions. They will consider questions such as:
What kinds of cultural and social practices and projects emerge?
How do people engage with this new, perhaps less hostile, state?
Have (or how have) the national agendas of these states effected the
lives of the people we work with? Here we refer of material changes
like social spending, but also of less material ones, like hope.
If you have a paper you think might fit in this panel, please send a
150 word abstract to Lindsay DuBois at Lindsay.DuBois@dal.ca
