Round Table

Agonías y antagonías de lo cubano: Cintio Vitier y Virgilio Piñera

Moderator: Pilar Cabrera Fonte

Guest Speaker:
Professor Alan West-Durán

***

In light of the 30th anniversary of Virgilio Piñera's death and the recent
death of Cintio Vitier on October, this round table will reflect on the
contrasting careers and legacies of these two Cuban intellectuals whose
early work is associated with the Revista Orígenes (1944-1956). Although
both Piñera and Vitier were key contributors to José Lezama Lima's
influential journal, their poetic sensibilities and cultural theories clashed
severely and eventually helped polarize and split the Orígenes project.
Piñera's and Vitier's feud continued in dueling essays and poems
throughout the 1950s (in José Rodríguez Feo's "antiorigenista" journal
Ciclón) and into the 1960s and 70s (in Cabrera Infante's Lunes de Revolución
cultural magazine, among other publications). Piñera and Vitier have
remained antagonistic literary icons in Cuba up to this day. This legendary
battle-of-the-poets has deeply impacted most of the cultural policy and the
work of various generations of writers that have emerged throughout the
Cuban Revolution.

Alan West-Durán was born in Cuba and grew up in Puerto Rico. He is the
author of Dar nombres a la lluvia/Finding Voices in the Rain, which won the
Latino Literature Prize for Poetry (1996), as well as a book of essays, Tropics
of History: Cuba Imagined (1997). He worked on the Caribbean segment of
the first CD-ROM on Latinos in the United States (1995) and the first
scholarly CD-ROM on Caribbean literature: Literature of the Spanish
Caribbean to 1900 (1998) jointly with Antonio Benítez-Rojo. He has
translated works by Alejo Carpentier, Rosario Ferré, Nelly Richard, and
Luisa Capetillo, and is the editor-in-chief of two reference works, African
Caribbeans: A Reference Guide (2003) and Latino and Latina Writers (2004).

Round Table

Mass Media and Culture in Latin America

Moderator: José Enrique Navarro

If, as Marshall McLuhan proposes, the medium is the message, the

appearance and expansion of media should have a profound effect on our
communication and exchanges. Given that the local is affected by global
media, the analysis of the impact of media on different cultures and their
products becomes a critical issue. The task becomes to explore how media
continually permeates Latin American culture and how far-reaching the
effects of the changes in these media are. Does welcoming global media
locally represent a Faustian pact? Our critical task is to study the
interaction between media, culture and literature, and how media, as a
hegemonic product, is assimilated and transformed for local purposes.

Special Lecture

Reconsidering Dominican Spanish

Professor Almeida Jacqueline Toribio

University of Texas at Austin

Presented by Mark Amengual Watson

Saturday, November 14th

1:30 – 2:30 pm | Sinclair Suite (Texas Union 3.128)

***

One of the more salient and stigmatized features of Dominican Spanish is

[s] hypercorrection, the insertion of an [s] in a lexical item where it should
not appear, as in ¡Hola[s] Ja[s]queline! This phenomenon is much satirized in
popular culture, but those who parody it often misrepresent it as a rampant
and random insertion. More importantly, the incorrect characterization has
carried over into the scholarly linguistic literature, where [s]
hypercorrection is equally misunderstood. The data presented in this talk,
drawn from interviews with men, women, and children of all ages,
demonstrate that [s] hypercorrection is much more rule-governed and
systematic than previously thought. These findings correct the common
misperception that illiterate and semi-literate Dominicans do not know
where [s] belongs.
