Even if you already heard about Carandiru, if you speak (or understand) Portuguese, I strongly recommend this episode of Radio Novelo. Somehow it combined prisons, inmates, the police, the legal system, architecture, urbanism, and society. radionovelo.com.br/originais/ap...

I feel so official! Also: new cards to reflect that @mlnjournal.bsky.social will be introducing a new issue (Jewish Languages and Literatures) + we will be officially adding Lusophone literature (we already publish some articles in Portuguese, but we are expanding that).

Call for Papers — 2025 Midwest Modern Language Association (MMLA) 
14-16 November 2025 | Milwaukee, WI

To See and to Be Seen in Luso-Brazilian Cultures
(Virtual panel)

Literature, the social sciences, and the visual and performing arts have long framed Afro-Brazilian, Indigenous, queer, poor, and disabled subjects as objects of the gaze. Yet these subjects have also provided critical perspectives on Brazilian society, challenging dominant ideologies and official discourses. How do these dynamics of seeing and being seen operate within Luso-Brazilian cultures and regimes of visibility? This panel invites proposals that explore scenes of observation in literature, art, social thought, and other kinds of cultural production, focusing on moments when historically marginalized subjects—whether due to race, gender, class, disability, sexuality, or other social markers—either observe or are observed.
We welcome presentations on topics that include, but are not limited to:

The gaze and counter-gaze in representations of race, gender, class, and sexuality;
Artistic and literary interventions that challenge dominant frameworks of visibility;
Objectification and subjectification in medical, anthropological, artistic, and literary discourses;
Afro-Brazilians and Indigenous subjects as social thinkers and agents of critique.

Please send your abstracts (250 words) by April 20, 2025 to Isabela Fraga (isabela.fraga@tufts.edu) and Thomaz Amancio (tamancio@uchicago.edu).

Daughters of immigrants are more upwardly mobile than daughters of locals in most destinations. Sons of immigrants are only more upwardly mobile outside of continental Europe, from Boustan, Fjællegaard Jensen, Abramitzky, Jácome, et al https://www.nber.org/papers/w33558

I presented on M. Luisa Carnelli at a roundtable titled Women in Revolution—it went great! However, I'm concerned that so many scholars missed the event due to cuts in their development funds and many expressed this on the business meeting. Should we move to hybrid formats? Zoom?

Another NEMLA2025 in the books! Thank you,
W&gender studies officers! Our mentorship program was a success and our two sponsored sessions were todo! We sponsored a roundtable on comics chaired by @emilylauer.bsky.social and the unspeakable and another on material archives and gender studies
