Desde mañana hasta el domingo --del 15 al 18 de marzo-- la ciudad norteamericana de Boise acoge la Conferencia "Memoria y emoción, historias de mujeres: construyendo significado desde la memoria", con asistencia de decenas de investigadores de dentro y fuera de EEUU, organizada por el Departamento de Lenguas del Mundo y la Cátedra Eloise Garmendia Bieter de la Boise State University (BSU).

Boise, EEUU. Esta Primera Conferencia Cultural de Estudios Culturales que organiza BSU cuenta con el apoyo del Idaho Humanities Council, diferentes departamentos de la BSU y el Instituto Vasco Etxepare y se desarrollará en sesiones de mañana y tarde bajo la coordinación de las profesoras Nere Lete y Larraitz Ariznabarreta. Se trata de una propuesta no arancelada abierta al público interesado, con dos conferencias centrales a cargo de la investigadora haitiana Évelyne Trouillot y la vasca Marijo Olaziregi, que disertarán el 16 y 17 de marzo respectivamente, sobre "Challenging Memories to Rewrite History" (desafiando a la memoria para reescribir la historia), en el primer caso, y sobre "Beyond the Motherland: Memory and Emotion in Contemporary Basque Women's Fiction" (Más allá de la matria: Memoria y emoción en la ficción contemporánea de las mujeres vascas) de la segunda.

La Conferencia lanza a la palestra preguntas como: ¿La emoción nos ayuda a recordar? ¿Las culturas recuerdan de manera diferente? ¿Cómo afectan las emociones a la capacidad de recordar recuerdos del pasado? ¿Cómo contribuye la memoria a la adaptación? ¿Restaurarse a uno/a mismo/a, individual o colectivamente, significa atreverse a recordar? O ¿es necesario el olvido para la supervivencia?

Este es el programa del encuentro:
