CALL FOR PAPERS. . . . While dominant political theories posit that democracies advance peaceful governance, violence shapes political life in many Latin American countries. Sometimes construed as an exception or an original sin to democratic rule, violence continues to make democracies in the region less equal. This “democratic violence” undermines political participation and solidarity, setting the conditions for its reproduction.. . . . The University of South Florida’s Conference on Democratic Violence in Latin America explores this paradox, searching for alternative approaches toward democratic cultures from various disciplinary perspectives. We invite extended paper abstracts or creative writing submissions, thematic panels of 3-4 participants, prearranged by submitters, and panel performances.. . . . December 1, 2024: Deadline for abstract submissions. . . . Submissions and more information: usf.to/CDVLA. . . . For more information, please contact: CAS-CDVLA@usf.edu --- Event Details: https://bullsconnect.usf.edu/rsvp?id=1971788
