Moving Media in the Americas Pre-Conference Symposium

Media throughout the Americas is transforming. The transnational circulation of global popular culture now connects the region to the world. Innovations in distribution and infrastructure build on traditions of intermediality. Affective modes and techniques of analysis highlight social inequalities, sexual dissidences, and environmental disasters. This one-day academic symposium is the first part of a series of events honoring the late Professor Ana López and her extraordinary contributions to Latin American and Global South cinema and media. 

This event is also an opportunity to share and discuss the contributions of Tulane’s Faculty and Graduate Students to different forms of media in the region. The symposium will feature presentations by Antonio Gómez, Rebecca Atencio, Zorimar Rivera Montes, Laura-Zoë Humphreys, Mauro Porto, Watufani Poe, Adrian Anagnost, and Mike Bromberg from the Departments of Spanish, English, Communications, Art History, and Latin American Studies.
