The presentation can be viewed below.<\/p>\n<p><span>Through literary works byM\u00e9xican authors such as Octavio Paz, Carlos Fuentes, Elena Garro, Jos\u00e9 Emilio Pacheco, and Carlos Pellicer, as well as his own chronicles, Villoro reflected on the role of literature in continuous re-interpretation of an ever-open past, building bridges from the present to a lost indigenous world, and filling out the enigmatic gaps of the past with imagination. He also highlighted how indigenous communities are often thought of as in the past, lacking recognition of their contemporaneity. The debate following his talk focused on the connections between identity and temporality, and how to re-think the place of the indigenous past in Mexican identity in connection with colonialism and capitalism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The presentation was entitled \u201cArqueolog\u00eda y literatura en M\u00e9xico: Una conversaci\u00f3n virtual con Juan Villoro.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" title=\"vimeo-player\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/413367278\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/las\/\">Center for Latin American Studies<\/a> (CLAS)<\/span><span>\u00a0provides students with a versatile and powerful vehicle to develop an in-depth and interdisciplinary understanding of the Latin American region.The program offers students a wide variety of regionally-focused courses in Latin America, which are taught by a range of academic departments.
