Art Talk: Dr. Tania Pleitez:
Comparative Analysis between Louise Erdrich and Female Latin American Writers
"I am a fish and a bird": Rootless reconciled"
 

Synopsis:

This art talk will compare the works of two culturally mixed authors who share the use of aquatic metaphors.  Louise Erdrich's Love Medicine and Julia de Burgos' poetry both use the imagery of water to emphasize social, cultural and emotional marginalities.  Erdrich's characters and Burgos' poetry remain on the edges of society, rejected not only by a European-American hegemonic and Eurocentric culture, but also by their own communities.  Thus, the characters and poetry are melancholic yet imaginative survivors on rootless shores.

Dr. Pleitez has a Master in Diplomacy and Foreign Policy and a PhD in Latin American Literature.  She lives and works in Barcelona, Spain.
 

Karen Louise Erdrich, known as Louise Erdrich, (born June 7, 1954) is a Native American author of novels, poetry, and children's books. She is an enrolled member of the Anishinaabe nation (also known as Ojibwa and Chippewa) and also has German, French and American ancestry. She is widely acclaimed as one of the most significant Native writers of the second wave of what critic Kenneth Lincoln has called the Native American Renaissance. In April 2009, her novel "The Plague of Doves" was named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction.

Open Sequences: Mary Benedicto, Robert Flowers and Thor Johnson
 
There are certain aspects of the audiovisual works presented by Mary Benedicto,
Robert Flowers and Thor Johnson that encompass a synesthesian experience.
Rhythmic patterns, colorful form and serial sound thread the work of the three
together. The never ending, open-ended possibilities stretch ones’ imagination
to think about data as infinite and the works as eternal algorithms that collapse
back on themselves.
