"Seeing Amazonia Slowly: Nature and Culture in a Time of Environmental Change"
Ingraham 206, 12pm-1pm
Presented by Marcos Colon, PhD Candidate in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at UW Madison.
About the Speaker:Marcos Colón is a dissertator in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research focuses on the representations of the Amazon in 20th-Century Brazilian literature from an environmental studies perspective. In particular, he is interested in examining a variety of viewpoints of the post-rubber era Amazon through written texts, oral reports, and films, observing changes in the region, its nature and people. Colon's scholarship uses the post-rubber era as a springboard for re-envisioning the region. In 2016, he visited the Amazon forest in Peru and Brazil, with the support of LACIS, the Nelson Institute and the Center for Culture, History, and Environment-CHE.
About the presentation: The Brazilian rubber boom caused a profound change in the 19th century Amazonian economy and landscape. The rubber rush brought explorers from different parts of the world to the region, among them the American capitalist Henry Ford. In this talk, Marcos Colón will present a visual account of the environmental transformations that occurred in the region after Ford's arrival and how his presence influenced in the cultivation of soybeans. During the summer of 2016, Colón spent three months traveling through the states of Pará, Amazônia, and Acre where the impact of soy agriculture on the rain forest is most visible, and represent a major ecological challenge.
This talk is co-sponsor by Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies

Literature y Opression: culture y resistance in Guinea Ecuatorial
Presented by: Donato Ndongo-Bidyogo
Location: 206 Ingraham Hall
Tuesday, April 25, 2017 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm
Donato Ndongo-Bidyogo was born in Niefang, continental Equatorial Guinea, in 1950. After having been educated by Catholic missionaries, he left his country for the first time in 1965, when he was only 14 years old, to pursue his studies on mainland Spain. From then on, he became a globetrotter. Today he is regarded as the leading contemporary writer of Equatorial Guinea, and a multifaceted artist: journalist, novelist, literary critic, essayist, researcher, anthologist, publisher, etc. His artistic development, like that of his contemporary Guinean writers, took a turn for the worse during the long years of Francisco Macías Nguema's dictatorship (1968-1979), when all formal education and literary production was suppressed. The few writers who managed to work wrote from their countries of exile: their writing focused on exile, problems of existentialism and loss of identity, nostalgia for the homeland, dictatorship, and national unity. This group of writers became known as "la generación perdida," the lost generation of Equatorial Guinean writers. Ndongo led this group and the era. Ndongo edited and compiled the Antología de la literatura guineana, published in 1984 in Madrid. This pioneering collection of texts included 17 poets and 12 narrators, totaling 23 different names.

Get Involved with Colombia Support Network!
Want to get more involved with international advocacy on the UW-Madison campus?
Colombia Support Network-UW Badgers serves to bring awareness on the UW campus about the human rights atrocities occurring in Colombia, encouraging UW students to become educated and engaged in the CSN solidarity mission through volunteering, spreading our peaceful mission, and sending student delegations to peace communities in Colombia.
The Colombia Support Network was created in 1989 to provide support to Colombian communities and organizations in areas of conflict which seek to construct a just social and economic order using non-violence means. There are more than 6 million displaced persons in Colombia, and more than 31,000 persons have "disappeared" since 1990s. Peaceful civilians have faced attacks from rebel groups such as the FARC, as well as paramilitary forces which are indirectly - and sometimes directly - aided by a government which serves to protect solely the interests of the wealthy. This March, important peace talks between the Colombian government and FARC forces are likely to reach a deal, making the current issues in Colombia especially relevant.
Engagement with CSN-UW Badgers can be as simple as liking our Facebook page [Colombia Support Network-UW Badgers], and considering attending future CSN events, such as movie series or speakers! We're also looking for new leaders who are passionate about human rights and might one day go on a delegation to Colombia with CSN.
