SUMMARY:Latin American Studies v. the Psychedelic Renaissance
DESCRIPTION:The last two decades have seen a resurgence of research with psychedelic substances for medical purposes that has concurred with a proliferation of neo-shamanic or mystical practices\, retreats and communities that have the consumption of psychoactive plants and preparations at the center of their rituals.  This “psychedelic renaissance\,” largely popularized by Michael Pollan’s best-selling book How to Change Your Mind (now a Netflix documentary) has a significant economic and cultural impact on indigenous societies\, cultural practices\, and fragile environments in Latin America that needs a critical engagement from the Humanities and Social Sciences. \nAlberto Ribas-Casasayas is Associate Professor of Spanish and Latin American Studies and Chair of the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at Santa Clara University.   He is the author of Luces y sombras del renacimiento psicodélico (Lights and Shadows in the Psychedelic Renaissance) and co-editor (with Amanda Petersen) of  Espectros: Ghost Hauntings and the Talking Dead in Transhispanic Narratives\, and (with Ana Luengo) of Otras iluminaciones: Narrativa\, cultura y psicodélicos (Other Illuminations: Narrative\, Culture\, and Psychedelics)\, which was released just this month with Almenara Press.

SUMMARY:Adriana María Linares-Palma\, "Community-based archaeology in the Ixil region\, Guatemala"
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, Dr. Adriana María Linares-Palma shares their reflections on the processes\, challenges\, and outcomes of a community-based archaeological program conducted in San Juan Cotzal\, in the Maya highlands of Guatemala. Linares-Palma explains how their research emerged in collaboration with the Ancestral Authorities of San Juan Cotzal and the Ixil University towards Indigenous autonomy\, especially facing extractivism by transnational corporations that had settled in their territory. Dr. Linares-Palma situates their talk in the context of the conflicts created by a hydroelectric plant built without the communities’ consent and the principal damages\, including the constellation of memory in Cotzal. The processes of this research informed about archaeological methodologies anchored to colonial notions of cultural heritage\, cultural appropriation\, and national discourses of homogeneity.

SUMMARY:Tertulia with Federico Finchelstein: The History and Politics of  Wannabe Fascism
DESCRIPTION:LAIS is pleased to invite the campus community to a tertulia with Professor Federico Finchelstein. In this talk\, Professor Finchelstein will discuss his latest book\,  The Wannabe Fascists: A Guide to Understanding the Greatest Threat to Democracy  (University of California Press\, 2024)\, where he maintains that Trumpism and similar movements across the world belong to a new political breed\, the “wannabe fascists”. This new type of populist politician is typically a legally elected leader who\, unlike previous populists who were eager to distance themselves from fascism\, turns to totalitarian lies\, racism\, and illegal means to destroy democracy from within. The author lays out what he calls the “four pillars of fascism”—xenophobia\, propaganda\, political violence\, and ultimately dictatorship. He explains how and why wannabe fascists like Trump\, Bolsonaro\, and Modi embrace the first three pillars but don’t quite succeed in dictatorship and a total suppression of the popular vote. \nFederico Finchelstein is an Argentinean historian and Professor of History at the New School for Social Research and Eugene Lang College in New York City\, and Director of the Janey Program in Latin American Studies. A world-renowned scholar of fascism\, populism\, and dictatorship\, his most recent books include Fascist Mythologies. The History and Politics of Unreason in Borges\, Freud\, and Schmitt (Columbia University Press\, 2022)\, A Brief History of Fascist Lies (University of California Press\, 2020)\,  and  From Fascism to Populism in History (University of California Press\, 2017 & 2019 ).  His books have been translated into Spanish\, Italian\, Portuguese\, Chinese\, Hungarian\, Korean and Turkish. For more information\, check his website. \nThis event will  take place on May 10th from 12:00 to 1:30 pm in HSSB 1174.  After his lecture\, Professor Finschelstein will hold an informal conversation in HSSB 4020 from 1:45  to 2: 30 pm\, with students\, faculty\, and any other members of the campus community who may be interested in learning more about his work. Please fill out this form if you would like to join the conversation–  it will help us very much with the logistics! \nThis event is organized by The Program in Latin American & Iberian Studies and co-sponsored by the Department of History. ** Free and open to the public. \n

SUMMARY:LAIS Welcome Back Lunch / Tertulia
DESCRIPTION:Khipu\, and Andean Instrument of Management\, Memory and Power with Dr. Lydia Fossa\nIn our first tertulia of the year\, Peruvian researcher Lydia Fossa will discuss her most recent findings on khipus\, the famed bunches of colored cords dotted with knots used by the Inkas\, revealing them as instruments of\nmanagement\, memory and power. Was the khipu limited to representing a particular language or were its symbols comprehensible to all inhabitants of the Inka empire? If so\, asks Dr. Fossa\, can we say\nthat literacy did not exist in Ancient Peru?
