Translocalites/Translocalidades: Feminist Politics of Translation in the Latin/a Americas

The Center for Latin American, Caribbean and Latino Studies presents a conference which explores how feminist discourses and

practices travel across a variety of sites and directionalities to become

interpretive paradigms to read issues of gender, race, sexuality, social

movements, migration, and the circulation of identities and texts. The

notion of translation is used figuratively to emphasize the ways in which

these travels are politically embedded with larger the questions of

transnationalism and transnational exchanges across diverse localities,

especially between women in Latin America and Latinas in the United States.
