“UnExpected Archives: More Location of Caribbean Film."
January 30; 11am at Woodburn Hall
Please join the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies for a lecture by Terri Francis, Associate Professor
at the Department of Communication and Culture. Her lecture is titled "UnExpected Archives: More Location of
Caribbean Film." Regional and national boundaries parallel disciplinary ones and they present instructive
challenges. Latin American film criticism excludes the anglophone Caribbean. The borders of the United States
define American film history. Even scholarship on cinema of the African diaspora can be limited to countries in
Africa, Europe, and North America. Because Caribbean film history stands at the crossroads of all three areas of
scholarship, it tends to fall through the gaps between them. What to do?
