2 Part Series: New Scenarios of Post-memory in Southern Cone Societies

We invite you to participate in the series New Scenarios of Postmemory in Southern Cone Societies. These events include an award-winning film presentation that is free and open to the public and a campus-wide public panel on the diverse ways in which new memory generations experience and tell the marks of dictatorships and political repression in Argentina and Chile.

We will host an internationally recognized film producer, Julián Troksberg, and a distinguished scholar, writer, and activist. Dr. Verónica Estay Stange. 

Date: October 28, 4:30 pm at the Kelley Center-Presentation Room

Film director Julián Troksberg will present his documentary Una casa sin cortinas (A House Without Curtains). Through interviews and archive footage, Troksberg’s film explores the controversial character of Isabel Perón, president of Argentina, after the death of her husband and deposed by the military coup in 1976. The film features English subtitles. 

Date: October 29, 4:30 pm at the DiMenna-Nyselius Library, Innovation Lab

A panel presentation and discussion will follow between film director Troksberg and the scholar, Dr. Estay Stange, Associate Professor at Paris Cité University. Dr. Estay Stange founded the Chilean collective Historias Desobedientes (Disobedient Stories)–the first human rights movement in the history of the massive atrocities of the twentieth century formed by descendants of those responsible for crimes against humanity. She will present her talk “Surviving Survival. Postmemory and Creation”. The presentations will be conducted in English, and live interpretation will be provided during the Q&A session. Refreshments will be served!

These events are generously sponsored by the Humanities Institute and co-sponsored by the Department of Modern Languages and Literature, Latinx, Latin American and Caribbean Studies Program, International Studies Program, Sociology and Anthropology Department, Film, Television and New Media Program, and Visual & Performing Arts.
