Round Table

Agonías y antagonías de lo cubano: Cintio Vitier y Virgilio Piñera Moderator: Pilar Cabrera Fonte

Professor Enrique Fierro University of Texas at Austin

Professor César A. Salgado

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.

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

Professor Jason Borge

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.
