SUMMARY:The Grenada frog: Long term monitoring\, mapping\, outreach and conservation
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Professor Emily Latch & Billie Harrison\, Biological Sciences\, UW-Milwaukee. \nThe island of Grenada is home to only two endemic terrestrial vertebrates\, the Grenada Dove (Leptotila wellsi) and the Grenada Frog (Pristimantis euphronides). Both are Critically Endangered (IUCN Red List). The Grenada Dove is featured on the national emblem and is considered to be a national treasure. By contrast\, the Grenada Frog is virtually unknown. We worked with the IUCN in 2021 to assess the conservation status of all Lesser Antillean amphibians\, where mapping and quantitative ecological analysis prompted a status update of the Grenada frog to “Red List\, Critically Endangered”. This classification is warranted given extinction threats by habitat fragmentation significantly limiting dispersal and gene flow\, reduced global footprint\, threats from development\, climate change\, invasive species\, and disease. Our ongoing work is focused on understanding these threats\, through ecological and genetic studies\, and on strategic and innovative outreach efforts to increase awareness for the Grenada frog and engage citizens to amplify the impacts of conservation actions. These are what shape the overall aims of our research project: 1) to assess species range\, demography\, and population connectivity for this endemic montane frog\, 2) to understand the impact of the fungal disease chytridiomycosis\, and 3) to increase awareness of this unique species through targeted\, long-term education and outreach activities. We will present these initiatives and challenges along with some exciting new community and student engagement projects.

SUMMARY:Folk-arts for peace: HemisFair '68 and the Cultural Olympics in México’s 1968 Olympiad during the Global Cold War
DESCRIPTION:A public talk on craft and globalism by Dr. Deborah Dorotinsky Alperstein\, Instituto de Investigaciones Estéticas of the Universidad Autónoma de México (UNAM). \nThis lecture will center on folk art (handcraft / arte-popular) as a cultural agent during the Global Cold War in 1968. It will highlight the place of handcraft in the cultural diplomacy between Mexico and the United States during the sixties and bring to the fore two international exhibitions. \nDr. Dorotinsky currently serves as the project leader for Popular Arts\, an effort to create a network of scholars both in Latin American and elsewhere whose work deals with contemporary Latin American art and specifically “popular” art objects\, i.e. crafts and diseño artisanal. The purpose of the project is to critique and revise accepted categories (as well as definitions\, terms\, etc.) of these objects. Dr. Dorotinsky and her colleagues argue that these categories are politically contingent\, often exploitative\, and troublingly institutionalized.

For more information contact LAFSatUWM@gmail.com \nTo see entire schedule including in-person showings\, see calendar or https://uwm.edu/clacs/public-engagement/film-series/ \nApril 13 through 20 – watch anytime\nStreaming – 5 films \nA BRUDDAH’S MIND (CABEÇA DE NÊGO)\nBrazil\, 2020\, 86 min\, Dir. Déo Cardoso\nBased on real events\, this political drama fuses Brazilian history with international anti-racist movements. Saulo\, a black introvert student and fan of the Black Panther Movement\, challenges his school in the largely white city of Fortaleza. \nMIRIAM MIENTE (MIRIAM LIES)\nDominican Republic\, Spain\, 2018\, 90 min\, Dirs. Natalia Cabral and Oriol Estrada\nThe first dramatic feature by documentary duo Natalia Cabral and Oriol Estrada centers on a quinceañera celebration and shows how racial prejudices affect a teenage girl’s choices. \nPIROTECNIA (MUTE FIRE)\nColombia\, 2020\, 83 min\, Dir. Federico Atehortúa Arteaga\nIn the tradition of Harun Farocki and João Moreira Salles\, in this personal film essay\, Federico Atehortúa Arteaga examines the relationship between film footage\, the events of the war in Colombia\, his family’s story\, and the origins of cinema in the country.\nOn March 6\, 1906\, four people were executed in the streets for the attempted assassination of the then-president of Colombia\, Rafael Reyes. The representation in images of this event is considered the beginning of cinema in Colombia. Arteaga embarks on a deep investigation of media representation through his film\, which explores how cinema became an instrument of power and control in the country’s violent political history.\nAs Arteaga’s mother suffers an episode of mutism -without any explanation she stops talking-\, the film’s focus widens to examine the family’s own relationship with imagery\, memory\, and politics. As a result\, Arteaga decides to investigate the family’s past and finds a video archive of a children’s play in which he himself acts\, pretending to be a captured false guerrilla.\nThese images bring him back to his original film and lead him to find the relationship that exists between recent tragic events in Colombian history\, the false positives\, innocent people extrajudicially killed by members of the Colombian army\, and then falsely labeled as enemy combatants. Nobody knows exactly how many young people became false positives. The most recent report released by Colombia’s attorney general’s office says that between 1988 and 2014\, around 2\,248 people were killed. Previous reports by human rights organizations have estimated that the number may be 5\,000 or even higher. \nEL PERRO QUE NO CALLA (THE DOG WHO WOULDN’T BE QUIET)\nArgentina\, 2020\, 73 min\, Dir. Ana Katz\nAcclaimed Argentine auteur Ana Katz’s funny\, adventurous\, and bittersweet new film follows Sebastian’s peaceful life as it begins to crumble when he loses his job because of his dog’s barking. From that moment on\, he begins to wander through life between different temporary jobs over the years. Years in which he will also know friendship\, love\, and fatherhood\, until\, unexpectedly\, existence on earth is totally altered by a phenomenon from outer space\, transforming the film into a dystopian satire about the future we will leave to new generations. \nNudo Mixteco\nMexico\, 2021\, 91 min\, Dir. Ángeles Cruz\nTaking place in a rural Mixtec village in Oaxaca\, southern Mexico\, Nudo Mixteco follows the return of María\, Esteban\, and Toña\, each from a different direction. Each of them has a different reason for coming back\, just like each had a different reason to leave in the first place. However\, all three face a confrontation that will force a turning point in their lives.\nMaría buries her mother\, her father rejects her\, and in uncertainty\, she asks her childhood love\, Piedad\, to leave with her. Esteban returns after three years to discover that Chabela\, his wife\, is living with another man. Enraged he calls the village people to prosecute her in an assembly. Toña\, faced with her daughter’s abuse\, relives her own pain when she returns to confront her family to protect her.\nNarrated from the point of view of the women\, the three stories momentarily intersect with each other and together paint an exceptional picture of the local culture\, in which filmmaker Ángeles Cruz herself grew up. Festivities\, rituals\, and a village council that acts as a tribunal – these elements make up the fabric of a community that should offer protection\, warmth\, and security. However\, the fates of the three protagonists will reveal a constant fight against age-old patriarchal power and prejudice.

SUMMARY:Anthropology Colloquium: Opacity\, Rézonans\, and the Politics of Bearing Witness in Anthropology

His research focuses on music\, dance\, and postcoloniality across the French Atlantic world.
