From comedias at comedias.org Wed Nov 6 12:07:05 2019 From: comedias at comedias.org (AHCT Listserv) Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2019 13:07:05 -0500 Subject: [Comedias] El Paso Giving Day Message-ID: Dear AHCT colleagues, I am writing to the AHCT Listserv to encourage each of you (if you feel so inclined) to participate in the 2019 ?El Paso Giving Day? starting *November 7, 2019* with a contribution to Los Paisanos del Chamizal at the following direct link: *https://donate.elpasogivingday.org/organizations/los-paisanos-del-chamizal * As you can see from Katherine Brennand?s email below, contributions will be matched up to $1.5 million, which means that our contributions, if strategically made, can provide Los Paisanos with twice the bang for the buck. Thus, as Katherin notes, the earlier in the window of opportunity that we contribute, the more likely the Paisanos are to earn the matching funds. So, please, if you love the *comedia* and want to continue to support the Chamizal Siglo de Oro festival, please do consider making a contribution to this important fundraiser.

I was wondering if there is any way of sharing this link with the members of AHCT. As of September 1st I have started a new position as profesor ayudante doctor at the Universidad Aut?noma de Madrid. My new academic e-mail is david.amelang at uam.es, and my previous FU Berlin account will no longer be operative. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Basically, they have received some funding from the Spanish government and want to try to arrange a tour of the US involving universities with which we are affiliated.? In speaking with Rodrigo via Skype regarding this proposal, it is clear that he wants to try to be in Los Angeles for Barbara Fuchs's LA Escena festival in October of 2020, but he would then like to tour a few other locations while he is still in the US.? Ideally, a handful of universities in specific regions could cooperate to provide the "peque?os apoyos" that he anticipates that he will need. Also, he would like to at least have an idea of potentially interested universities by early December. If any of you might be interested in trying to involve your universities in this proposal, please let me know (although it would probably help for you to touch base with regional colleagues and then respond as a group).

Postdoctoral fellowship information can be found here: www.1718.ucla.edu/research/postdoctoral/ ? Post-doctoral application forms can be accessed directly via this link: http://www.1718.ucla.edu/fellowship-application/ Ahmanson-Getty Postdoctoral Fellowships This theme-based resident fellowship program, established with the support of The Ahmanson Foundation of Los Angeles and the J. Paul Getty Trust, is designed to encourage the participation of junior scholars in the Center's yearlong core programs. The core program for year 2020?21: Resituating the Comedia ? ?a core program organized by Barbara Fuchs (University of California, Los Angeles) Studies of the 17th-century Hispanic comedia have been reinvigorated by a strong turn to both early modern and contemporary performance. Scholars have also explored the transnational reception of the corpus, its translation, and its adaptation. This focus on performance and transnational reception has changed our understanding of the corpus, as of individual plays within it, by foregrounding questions of ideology and canonicity, situatedness and transformation. ? Building on the efforts of UCLA?s Working Group on the Comedia in Translation and Performance and its Diversifying the Classics initiative, as well as the Clark?s strong holdings in both French and English reworkings of the comedia, this year-long program explores new contexts for Hispanic classical theater. In addition to presenting new research, the program will provide an opportunity for practitioners to encounter new plays, for working translators to share methodologies and interact with practitioners, and for all involved to become acquainted with the Clark?s collections in the history of European drama and performance. ? Three conferences will highlight and examine new comedia studies, with its emphasis on performance and transnational reception. Roundtables and workshops with local scholars and practitioners, as well as sessions to present Clark materials, will complement the papers. ? Conference 1: Making Classics: Canonicity and Performance November 13?14, 2020 ? How has the field?s attention to performance transformed our understanding of the comedia? How does performance transform the canon, whether by highlighting new works or by reenvisioning them? This conference will take place in conjunction with the Nov. 13?15, 2020 LA ESCENA Festival of Hispanic Classical Theater at A Noise Within, in Pasadena. ? Conference 2: Made for the Stage: Translation and Performance February 5?6, 2021 ? How has a new generation of comedia translators taken up the challenges of performance? What are the best practices in translating for performance, and the available channels for dramaturgical collaboration? How do translators? choices impact the literary and performance canon? This conference will include a workshop on translating for performance. ? ? Conference 3: The Comedia beyond Spain: Circulation and Adaptation May 7?8, 2021 ? How does the circulation of the comedia transform it in transnational and imperial contexts, in the New World and the Old? How is canonicity impacted from abroad? How does the transnational impact of the comedia complicate both domestic periodization and national literary histories? Finally, how does adaption engage new contexts, whether geographic, historical, or ideological? ? Scholars will need to have received their doctorates in the last six years, (no earlier than 1 July 2015 and no later than 30 September 2021). Scholars whose research pertains to the announced theme are eligible to apply. Fellows are expected to make a substantive contribution to the Center?s workshops and seminars. Awards are for three consecutive quarters in residence at the Clark. Stipend: $50,760 for the three-quarter period including paid medical benefits for scholar and dependents. Application deadline: 1 February 2020 ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
