Grounding the Arts: Crossing the History of Art with the History of Earth Sciences

In 1597, Agostino del Riccio wrote in his Istoria delle pietre, “why do we visit Rome and Florence and other cities if it is not to see stones reduced to good shapes?" He thus expressed the link that has always existed between materials from the Earth and artistic creation. This link puts into question the relationship between the natural and the artificial, materials and crafts.

Educational commitments to anti-oppressive practices and transformative pedagogies are under fire as we witness the escalation of neoliberal political interventions into higher educational institutions. Many of us work to create more inclusive understandings of the classroom community and challenge our students to engage in difficult conversations at the same time that “anti-woke” legislation and conservative politicians promote hegemonic views of the higher education classroom and privilege certain communities. Unlearning and challenging systems of power, as bell hooks notes, are important aims in transformative pedagogies that encourage critical thinking and responsible engagement with learning.

Call for NeMLA 2024 Roundtable Presentation Proposals - 'Los desechables' en el teatro español e hispanoamericano del siglo XXI

Nos interesa examinar los personajes teatrales que el poder tilda de “desechables” por su clase económica, discapacidad, raza, sexo, orientación sexual, y/o por su condición de desempleado, encarcelado, inmigrante, exiliado, perdedor de una guerra, entre otros motivos. Estos grupos a menudo son víctimas de la necropolítica que, según Achille Mbembe, instrumentaliza la existencia humana de manera que el poder determina quiénes son valiosos y quiénes resultan prescindibles, provocando así la degradación de la calidad de vida de numerosas personas.
