III Congreso Inernacional Vallejo Siempre 2018
Salamanca, 25-28 Junio 2018
El año 2014 fue una fecha clave para los estudios sobre la obra de César Vallejo, ya que, después de algunas décadas, la ciudad de Lima recibió a los más destacados especialistas en la obra del poeta de Santiago de Chuco. En dicho encuentro se acordó convocar a los investigadores vallejianos, con periodicidad bienal y en distintos lugares, para seguir estudiando y repensando su obra, que constituye un legado mundial. Así, buena parte de esos especialistas se reunió en Montevideo (Uruguay) en 2016, debatiendo sobre temas y cuestiones que enriquecieron la comprensión de la obra del vatesantiaguino. El 2018, la Fundación Instituto Castellano y Leonés de la Lengua, la Academia Peruana de la Lengua y el Instituto de Estudios Vallejianos, filial Lima, convocan a la comunidad académica al III Congreso Internacional Vallejo Siempre 2018. Para este Congreso se proponen, como temas específicos, el estudio de la vida y obra de César Vallejo en España y Francia.
Fecha de entrega de titulo de ponencia y abstract: 30 abril 2017

"Colombias globales" - XX Congreso de la Asociación de Colombianistas
3-5 de agosto de 2017
University of San Diego, San Diego, California, EE.UU.
La Junta Directiva de la Asociación de Colombianistas y la Universidad de San Diego invitan a investigadores, académicos, educadores y estudiantes de posgrado a presentar propuestas individuales y de mesa sobre el tema “Colombias globales”. Se plantean tres dimensiones del tema como sugerencias para orientar las propuestas: I. ¿Cuáles son algunos de los temas y aproximaciones más actuales acerca de las (re)configuraciones de lo colombiano en contextos internacionales y globales? Se trata de examinar lo colombiano—tal como se manifiesta en la producción cultural, las comunidades de colombianos radicados en el exterior, etc.—que se encuentra más allá del territorio nacional, desde los países vecinos hasta otros continentes. II. ¿Cómo se estudia Colombia en relación con otros contextos internacionales y al expandir las ópticas disciplinarias? Aquí se trata de estudios que se centren en realidades y fenómenos colombianos del contexto nacional, tanto históricos como actuales (y futuros)—el conflicto armado, articulaciones del periodo posconflicto, etc.—pero examinados mediante acercamientos comparados y/o perspectivas interdisciplinarias que abarquen aspectos extranacionales. III. ¿Cuáles son algunos de los elementos, influencias e instancias de lo extranjero en Colombia que necesiten más estudios académicos? Mientras que estas tres dimensiones sirven para señalar algunos enfoques generales, también se considerarán propuestas con distintos acercamientos y temas de estudio.
Se pueden presentar sugerencias para temas de mesa a partir del 1 de agosto de 2016. Véanse los detalles en www.colombianistas.org
Proposal deadline: 1 de febrero de 2017
