[Thursday, November 12, 4:00pm, British Studies (5th floor of Norlin Library)] CHA's 3rd Annual Eaton Lecture, featuring Silvio Torres-Saillant, William P. Tolley Disguished Professor of English at Syracuse University. "Homo Migrans: Itinerancy and National Culture in Contemporary Society." Professor Torres-Saillant writes, "Apart from being something that humans have always done, migration--which I use here to refer to voluntary as well as coerced mobility--was exacerbated by colonialism in the modern era to such an extent that only fictitious nostalgia or naturalized metaphor can explain the media statements that purport to defend the national culture from the influence of foreign arrivants. This presentation draws on the visibility of foreign-born or immigrant-descended American and European writers, thinkers, and artists to invite reflection on the difficulty of speaking about differentiated national cultures in the world bequeathed by the colonial transaction and on the need to find language that will do justice to the tenuous contours of national and cultural identities in contemporary society." Professor Torres-Saillant's interests include Caribbean literature, comparative poetics, ethnic American literature, Latino texts, diaspora and migration studies. Sponsored by CHA with endowed funds from Woody and Leslie Eaton. For further information, please contact Paula Anderson, 303-492-1423.
