"As we were still in the midst of the pandemic, I got a call from Development Researcher Georgia Reddington in the UK to contribute to this documentary. Over several months of planning, we spoke about the importance of weaving the narrative of continuity- especially for Peruvians today, who so often refer to indigenous peoples -both in the past and in the present- in the third person. This PBS Nova documentary is the product of this fruitful dialogue to hopefully begin to reconcile that distance. I am incredibly proud to have joined all of the different scientists working on the Nazca lines today and to have highlighted representation and continuity. The multinational production team was led by producer Daniela Volker."听

Congratulations to our recent MA in LLCL: Spanish graduate Pattricia Mesa on being selected as the recipient of the 2023 John D. Martz III Prize for Best Graduate Student Paper at the MACLAS 2023 conference (Salibury University) for her presentation titled "Senel Paz. Fresa y chocolate: el camino entre g茅neros."
The Martz Prize committee highlighted the forceful connections made in the paper between the celebrated narration by Senel Paz, centered on the cultural legacy of the Cuban Revolution, and its adaptations to cinema and theatre. Both adaptations brought a renewed attention on the symbolic implications of the two leading characters as they embody the challenges of an increasingly complex ideological apparatus on the eve of Cuba鈥檚 Special Period. In sum, her paper is ambitious in the way some suggestions from the theory of adaptation are used to foreground the palimpsestic quality present in all three artistic mediums analyzed.听
