SUMMARY:Lecture: Colonized Temporalities\, with Carmen Ibáñez Cueto
DESCRIPTION:The Observatory on Latin America invites you to the lecture: COLONIZED TEMPORALITIES\, by Bolivian Anthropologist and Researcher from the Freie Universität Berlin\, Carmen Ibáñez Cueto. \nLecture:\nCarmen Ibáñez Cueto – Anthropologist\, Researcher\, Freie Universität Berlin \nComments:\nAnn Stoler – Professor of Anthropology\, The New School for Social Research \nWelcome:\nMichael Cohen – Director OLA\, The New School \nModerator:\nJuan Manuel González Scobie – Senior Fellow\, OLA\, The New School \nREGISTER HERE* \nMany historical accounts of the Spanish conquest of the Americas depict this as the clash of different cultures. Professor Ibáñez will further deepen this characterization by using as an entry point the matter of temporalities\, looking specifically at the high Andean region of South America. She argues that this contact between colonizers and colonized\, in this case Aymara and Quechua peoples\, brought together two forms of conceiving time that were very different. The result of this encounter was what she calls a chrono-structural mismatch\, with important consequences that should be unveiled and understood. \nMany analysts have suggested that the way people experience time is subjective\, and that time is a social – cultural construct. Time for the Indians mentioned above is conceived as a moving spiral\, whereas the Spanish introduced a linear and progressive notion of time. \nShe cites an Aymara proverb which affirms that people should walk in the present looking at the past\, carrying the future on their backs. For them the future is a continuous return to the past. In contrast for Europeans the future is a continuous breaking with and overcoming the past. These different temporal imaginaries brought forth a challenging situation: a hybrid coexistence of temporalities in which colonizers sought to domesticate the notion and experience of time of the colonized\, and the latter resisted the imposition of the Spanish imaginary. \nProfessor Ibáñez argues that this is not only a significant historical line of inquiry: it poses an important question for the present\, which has guided her research for some years. How can a mixed society (“mestizo”)\, composed of people who still hold different temporal imaginaries\, co- exist and project a common future? Do these visions collide\, complement each other\, or deny one another? \nTuesday\, February 27\, 2024\n6PM – 8PM\nUniversity Center\, Room 105\n63 5th Avenue \nIf you have any questions about this event\, please contact lizac194@newschool.edu. \n*This is an in-person event.

SUMMARY:Latin America in a Multi-polar World
DESCRIPTION:The Observatory on Latin America OLA\, The Julien J. Studley Graduate Programs in International Affairs\, Schools of Public Engagement\, Universidad de los Andes\, Colegio de Mexico and Universidad Torcuato Di Tella\, invite you to the International conference\, Latin America in a Multi-polar World. \nThe growing convergence of COVID-19\, the war in Ukraine\, food and fuel shortages around the world\, have all given rise to a perception that the world cannot be left to either US-Russia or US-China bi-polar relations. The recent announcement that the BRICS (Brazil\, Russia\, India\, China\, and South Africa) has been expanded to include Argentina\, Egypt\, Ethiopia\, Iran\, Saudi Arabia\, and United Arab Emirates is a major step in this direction. This conference will discuss this process and what it means for Latin America. \nRegister here\nNovember 16\, 2023\n2:00 – 6:00 pm\n63 Fifth Avenue\, Room UL 105 | The New School\nNew York\, NY 10011\nview the map \nPROGRAM\nNovember 16\, 2023\nPanel Three: Reforming the Interamerican System to be Relevant for Present Problems \nModerator: Renata Segura\, Deputy Program Director for Latin America and the Caribbean\, International Crisis Group \nSpeakers: \n– Guadalupe González\, Colegio de Mexico\, Mexico City\n– Sandra Borda\, Universidad de las Andes\, Bogota \nDiscussant: Kevin B.
