The Audiovisual Body of the Cuban Nation: Mapping “Greater Cuba” through the ENDAC

A talk by Juan Antonio García Borrero, Cuban Film Scholar and Cultural Critic.

February 20th at 1PM in the Greenleaf Conference Room (100a Jones Hall)

The talk will be in Spanish.

In one of her texts, Ana López coined the term “Greater Cuba” and described it as follows: «By Greater Cuba I refer to a “Cuba” that extends beyond national borders and that includes the numerous individuals and communities who are outside of the national territory and who identify as Cubans and who contribute to the production of a “Cuban” cultural discourse.”

Invention and Innovation in the Altiplano of the Andes, 1587-1620: The Roots of Legacy Mercury in our Environment?

Of the six refining recipes for silver ores implemented on an industrial scale prior to the end of the 19c, three were the product of an extremely fruitful period of invention and innovation that took place around Potosi, in present day Bolivia, during the two decades that span the turn of the 16th century. Without these breakthroughs in the use of mercury, the environmental toll of relying on lead to refine silver ores would have been much worse, yet the question remains of their impact on present day levels of legacy mercury in our environment.
