Latin American Studies Center-Open House on October 26

The Latin American Studies Center will be holding its annual Open House on October 26, 2011 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. We encourage all those interested in the Latin American Studies Undergraduate Certificate to come and reconnect with new and old certificate students.  We want students on campus to learn about LASC, the Certificate Program, opportunities for internships, language study and study abroad. As always LASC will have delicious food and refreshments. Please, spread the word about the Open House and the LASC Undergraduate Certificate Program. The flyer is attached below.  If you would like printed flyers please let us know.
We would also like to remind LASC students to set an appointment with our associate director and undergraduate advisor Ivette Rodriguez Santana to discuss their progress on the Certificate in Latin American Studies.  If students plan to graduate this fall and have not spoken with Dr. Rodriguez Santana yet, it is important that they contact her ASAP. Dr. Rodriguez Santana’s email is rivette@umd.edu .

Maps vs. Mapping: Rationalizations of Space in Early Modernity

Dr. Ricardo Padrón holds a PhD in Romance Languages from Harvard University. He is currently Associate Professor of Spanish in the Department of Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese at the University of Virginia. He is interested in the literature and culture of the early modern Hispanic world, particularly in the various expressions of the Hispanic imperial imagination. His first book, The Spacious Word: Cartography, Literature and Empire in Early Modern Spain, was published in 2004 by the University of Chicago Press. His current work focuses on Spanish interest in Pacific and Asia in the wake of the Encounter with the Americas in relation to the emergence of globalism during the early modern period. He has also published on the poetry of Garcilaso de la Vega, Fernando de Herrera, and Luis de Góngora, as well as on the mapping of imaginary worlds throughout the modern period.

Students in Prof. Harrison’s seminar “Guaman Poma” are reading “Tracking Space,” a chapter from Ricardo Padrón’s The Spacious Word. For a PDF, send a request to reglee@umd.edu.
