Thania Muñoz + Berman : https://umbc.webex.com/wbxmjs/joinservice/sites/umbc/meeting/download/7c30084c32904a6a95d0de8a1e7a1a4f?siteurl=umbc&MTID=m9ac838b376989ebd0ceee8a159f90a64
Time: 1 p.m. – 2 p.m.
This panel will discuss cross-dressing cancionistas (singers) on Argentinian radio and feminist Mexican protests against femicides and their use of glitter as performance.
Full Description
In this talk, Thania Muñoz and Jessica Berman will discuss two forms of performance in Latin America: glitter protests and tango singers. Thania Muñoz will discuss her research on “Glitter Bombing” —a political action— in response to alleged rapes against teenage girls perpetrated by the local police and the lack of immediate attention to this act by the Security Minister in Mexico City. By doing an archival transnational literary and journalistic revision of the movement’s origins, from a social justice perspective, Muñoz argues glitter has turned into a sparkly tool of solidarity and protest. By analyzing “glitter bombings” and the performative bodily use of glitter in contemporary feminists’ movements in Mexico, she traces how amidst a violent Nation-State against women, glitter has been used as an instrument to protest patriarchal violence and at the same time to shine on those feminists’ allies who continue to demand justice.
Berman will discuss her research on the development of radio in Argentina in the early 20th century and the rise of Argentine women as tango singers (or cancionistas) and composers at the same time. Berman will argue that modern habits of listening engendered by recorded sound and broadcast radio help propel new ways of understanding embodiment, intimacy, and relation in Argentina in the twenties and thirties, which we can see in the shifting ways that women sound their presence in the world of tango.
