Call for Papers
While dominant political theories posit that democracies advance peaceful governance, violence shapes political life in many Latin American countries. Sometimes construed as an exception or an original sin to democratic rule, violence continues to make democracies in the region less equal. This 鈥渄emocratic violence鈥� undermines political participation and solidarity, setting the conditions for its reproduction. The University of South Florida鈥檚 Conference on Democratic Violence in Latin America explores this paradox, searching for alternative approaches toward democratic cultures from various disciplinary perspectives. We invite extended paper abstracts, creative writing submissions, thematic and performance panels. The deadline for abstract submissions is December 1, 2024.
