9th International Conference on Chicano Literature 

The Universidad de Oviedo will host the 9th International Conference on Chicano Literature: Cityscapes: Urban and Human Cartographies in Chicano/a Literature.  This conference will take place on May 28-30, 2014 in Oviedo (Asturias, Spain) and aims to be an open forum for debate among specialists and people interested in disciplines ranging across the social sciences and the arts, focusing on any subfield within Chicano Studies.





En un par de semanas el 9o Congreso Internacional de Literatura Chicana se llevará a cabo y entre algunos grandes escritores chicanos que asistirán al congreso están los siguientes amigos y colegas, Norma Cantú con quien tengo la mesa de trabajo, Translating Gloria Anzaldúa: Language Mappings, en la que discutiremos y compartiremos nuestra experiencia al traducir a español Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza




El destacado narrador y poeta, Daniel Chacón  y yo participaremos en la mesa de trabajo, Las fronteras literales y literarias, where we will discuss how the urban landscape of border cities reflects on the themes of Chicano/a literature and how recent drug wars have manifest themselves within imaginative landscapes.



Una mesa de trabajo más en la que participaré será con Santiago Vaquera-Vásquez y Levy Romero, Street Scene: Stories and Poetry from the Chicana/o Borderlands.  

Por supuesto que no somos los únicos que van a la conferencia.  Otros destacados escritores que son parte de esta conferencia son Lucha Corpi, Helena Viramontes, Manuel Martín Rodríguez, John Nieto-Phillips y Gary Keller entre muchos más.  No se pierdan mis siguientes columnas con fotos de este gran congreso de literatura chicana.
