Between Spain and Harlem: A Roundtable on Translation and Race
Moderated by Ameya Tripathi (New York University)
Friday September 29, 11.30-1.30 (EDT) on Zoom
This roundtable explores exchanges between Harlem, Spain, and back again in the 1920s and 1930s. The work of Anne Donlon (Independent Scholar), Rocío Cobo-Piñero (Universidad de Sevilla) and Rebecca Pawel (University of Bridgeport / Columbia) explores the transatlantic exchanges across media and performance in the works of a wide array of authors, from Concha Méndez, Ernestina de Champourcín, Rosa Chacel and Lucía Sánchez Saornil to Arturo Schomburg, Dorothy Peterson, Langston Hughes, Salaria Kea, Thyra Edwards and Louise Thompson, among many others. How were flappers received in Madrid and Barcelona? How did writers, artists, musicians and filmmakers rally and organize against fascism and colonialism? How did race and gender translate across cultures? To what extent were literary relations one-way, or reciprocal?
