Latin America: Films and Lectures

Latin America Institute at Freie Universität Berlin Holds Lecture and Film Series during 2011/2012 Fall/Winter Semester

№ 354/2011 from Nov 17, 2011

During the 2011/2012 fall/winter semester, the Latin America Institute at Freie Universität Berlin is holding a series of lectures and film screenings called “Between Spaces. Movements, Actors and Representations of Globalisation.” German and Latin American scholars will be presenting information on various perspectives of cooperation between Europe and Latin America. Films and documentaries will be shown that provide insight into the cultural diversity of Latin America. The lectures will be given in Spanish or English. The films will be in Spanish. The events are open to the public. There is no admission charge.

The event series "Between Spaces" is being hosted by the international research training group of the same name, which focuses on investigating new perspectives in social science research and cultural studies research on globalization. By developing a dialog between disciplines and diverse scholarly traditions in Germany and Mexico, the research program seeks to contribute to the reorientation of Area Studies as a transnational and interdisciplinary field of study. Main focuses of the "Between Spaces" research training group are movements between various regions of the world and the new spaces to which this has given and is giving rise in past and present stages of globalization.
