SUMMARY:World Languages and Cultures Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Talk by Leah Leone Anderson \nA Translation of His Own? Borges and Virginia Woolf \nOn commission\, Jorge Luis Borges translated A Room of One’s Own into Spanish in 1936 and Orlando in 1937. Both translations had tremendous impacts among Spanish language readers who came to celebrate the feminist rhetoric of the former and the narrative innovations of the latter. Comparative analyses of original and translation reveal that important aspects of these acclaimed features were in fact attenuated by an author/translator whose own narrative style was diametrically opposed to that of Virginia Woolf. \nDr. Leah Leone Anderson is a translator from Spanish and Portuguese and a scholar of Borges\, translation\, feminism and care ethics. Her book Borges’s Creative Infidelities: Translating Joyce\, Woolf and Faulkner was published by Bloomsbury in 2024 and was recently released in paperback. She is a graduate of UWM’s MA in Language\, Literature and Translation program.

SUMMARY:World Languages and Cultures Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Diana Aldrete: From Poetry to Protest: The Circulation of a Poetics of Justice in Mexican Women’s Writing and Activism \nMarch 18\nNoon-1:00 pm\nCRT 118 \nThis talk examines how a language of justice circulates from poetic writing into activist movements and public discourse in Mexico\, through an analysis of Susana Chávez Castillo’s Primera Tormenta and Arminé Arjona’s Juárez\, tan lleno de sol y desolado. Drawing on Chávez Castillo’s work\, initially circulated online prior to her feminicidal murder in 2011\, it traces how her poetic discourse of justice—including the phrases “Ni una más” and “Ni una menos\,” now central to anti-feminicidal movements—entered public and political spaces. The talk then turns to Arjona’s poetry\, dedicated to the dead women of Juárez\, whose dissemination through the Movimiento Acción Poética brought her work into the city streets. Together\, these cases illuminate how a poetics of justice transcends traditional literary boundaries to become part of the public discourse\, positioning Mexico as a generative space in which women’s writing actively shapes the language of resistance. \nDiana Aldrete is an Assistant Professor of Language and Culture Studies and Human Rights\, as well as a visual artist based in Hartford\, CT. She is a recipient of the 2025-26 American Postdoctoral Research Fellowship from the American Association of University Women (AAUW) which supports the completion of her manuscript\, Between Land and Death: Women Writing for Justice in Mexico. The project examines how literary production by contemporary Mexican women writers enters the political dialogue on anti-feminicidal violence\, questioning justice and linking literature to political discourse and activism. Her scholarly and creative work explore themes of violence\, erasure\, and ecological interconnection across literary and visual media. She has published poetry and short fiction\, and her visual art has been exhibited in several venues throughout Connecticut. Her first solo exhibition\, Invisible Suffering (2022)\, supported by the Free Center’s “Independent Artist Fund\,” interrogates the historical resonance of unseen suffering in the year 2020. Her current art project\, Ech.o Locations\, examines the ecologies of the Great Lakes and the relationships between water\, land\, and their human and non-human inhabitants. Integrating field research\, visual anthropology\, sound studies\, and visual art (photography and painting)\, the project underscores the urgent need to protect freshwater ecosystems.

SUMMARY:29th Festival of Films in French – February 20-22 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 29th Annual Festival of Films in French which showcases stories of resistance\, artistic expression\, justice\, and freedom. \nThis year’s festival will take us from Paris to the Jura\, Strasbourg\, Ukraine\, Quebec\, Cambodia\, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. In “Terrorists” in Retirement\, surviving members of the French Resistance recount and reenact their operations undertaken during the Nazi occupation of Paris\, challenging persistent myths and the erasure of their legacy. In Kyiv Theater\, an Island of Hope\, Ariane Mouchkine uses theater as a bold act of cultural defiance\, bringing together hundreds of Ukrainian actors. Of Mud and Blood follows miners and local communities in rural DRC as they fight for environmental and social justice\, while Ghost Trail traces the path of a Syrian refugee navigating the fine line between justice and revenge. For Jean-Luc Godard (Godard Cinema)\, resistance takes the form of pushing artistic and political boundaries through film. And in Meeting with Pol Pot\, journalists pursue truth in the face of the Khmer Rouge’s propaganda and intimidation. Other films highlight the evolution of French artistic innovation\, from Impressionism and the avant-garde in the 19th century (Colors of Time)\, to the intertwining of the arts in the 1920s silent film era (Princess Mandane)\, to the Nouvelle Vague (Godard Cinema)\, and French theater (Kyiv Theater). Together\, these works illuminate the cultural figures and movements that have shaped France’s artistic landscape. This year’s selection also features stories of young characters discovering the importance of tradition\, culture\, and family. Dounia reconnects with her Syrian heritage while embracing her friends’ French-Canadian and Indigenous cultures in Dounia\, The Great White North\, and Totone seeks to preserve his family’s way of life by learning the craft of cheesemaking in Holy Cow. \nCome in from the cold for six days of thought-provoking films\, and travel across space and time to witness stories of resilience\, freedom\, creativity and friendship. \nhttps://uwm.edu/french-film-festival/
