*_Lecture_**: *In the Folds of the Sacred: A Genealogy of the Political
in the Hispanic World
*/Date and Time:/*Tuesday, April 2, 5:00 PM -- 7:00 PM
*/Location:/*3202 Knight Hall
"The political" is not an eternal category but rather an "invention" of
the seventeenth century from within the frameworks of theological
thought and was even inconceivable before. The development of political
thinking in the Hispanic world between the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries provides us fundamental keys to comprehending that crucial
phenomenon that will determine all subsequent political development and
debates.
*_Workshop_**: *Recent Approaches in Intellectual History and the
Political Languages of Nineteenth-Century Latin America
*/Date and Time:/*Saturday, April 6, 10:30 AM -- 2:30 PM
*/Location:/*2120 Francis Scott Key (Merrill Room)
The theoretical developments that made intellectual history one of the
most dynamic and innovative areas in the field of the humanities paved
the way for the definition of new objects and kinds of approachesto them
and oblige us to revise traditional forms of understanding Latin
American politico-intellectual history. A fundamental aspect of these
reformulationsis the new possibilities they open to integrate cultural
processes into broader scenarios than the national ones and toanalyze
modes of symbolical interaction and intellectual exchange much more
complex and problematic than previously thought.
*Elías José Palti*is one of the most innovative and prolific writers on
the intellectual history of Latin America. He obtained his PhD from the
University of California, Berkeley,in 1997, after which he pursued
postdoctoral studies at El Colegio de México and Harvard University. He
currently teaches at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and
frequently serves as a guest professor inuniversities worldwide. He is
the author of ten books and currently a member of the editorial board of
the /Journal of the History of Ideas/. Palti has received various prizes
and fellowships, including the Guggenheim Fellowshipin 2009.
