These organisations, with the support of the Embassy of Ireland in Buenos Aires, are committed to organising the Second Symposium of Irish Studies in South America in order to develop the network started at the First Symposium in São Paulo, Brazil, in 2006. This second event aims at drawing together Argentinean researchers who are working in the field of Irish Studies, specialists from other Latin American countries and from various associations such as ABEI, ACIS, AEDEI, BAIS, CAIS, EFACIS, IASIL, SILAS, and the general public, to develop Irish Studies in Argentina. The theme of the Second Symposium - 'Ireland and Latin America: Towards New Perspectives' - initiates an interdisciplinary discussion on various sub-themes of research: - History of the Irish immigrants in Latin America - Historiographic and critical trends in migration studies - Literature of the diaspora - Diaries, autobiographies and travel narratives - Comparative Studies - Interrelations: theatre, cinema, literature, visual arts, etc. - Representations of Ireland in the Latin American press and of Latin America in the Irish press - Irish-Latin American relations, etc. The Symposium will include four plenary Lectures and three plenary Seminars on History, Multiculturalism and Migration Studies, and Literature of the Diaspora given by keynote speakers; a Round Table with Irish-Argentine writers; public readings and interviews given by Irish writers; two Forums with Professors and Senior lecturers from other universities; and papers (15-20 min.) related to the topics mentioned above.
