SUMMARY:Virtual Program: A Latin Americanist's Reading of the Monroe Doctrine\, 1823-2023
DESCRIPTION:*Map of America by Juan Downey\, image courtesy of MoMA \nJoin us on Friday\, December 1 at 1:00 p.m.\, as we welcome James Madison University professor Dr. Kristen McCleary\, for a FREE virtual program: A Latin Americanist’s Reading of the Monroe Doctrine\, 1823-2023. This talk highlights the Monroe Doctrine’s explicit connections to Latin America. In particular\, it examines the way the Monroe Doctrine was given meaning through cultural expressions both from the US and Latin America\, including Cuban José Marti’s essay Our America (1892)\, William Dieterle’s film Juárez (1939) and Americo Paredes’ novel George Washington Gómez (1990)\, among others.

Her research explores the intersection between social history and urban culture. She writes about how cultural activities (theater\, carnival\, film\, and music) provide spaces for people to connect and built community\, which in turn creates new pathways towards political and social power. She is interested\, as well\, in the shared cultural heritage of the Americas\, arguing that culture flows over borders in powerful and often unseen ways. Her book\, “All the City’s a Stage: Theater and Society in Buenos Aires\, Argentina\, 1810-1920\,” is forthcoming with University of Pittsburgh Press\, Latin American Studies series\, (Spring 2024).

SUMMARY:Spheres of Influence: Two Hundred Years of the Monroe Doctrine
DESCRIPTION:Join us on November 28 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m.\, either in-person at The McGowan Theatre at the National Archives or virtually\, for Spheres of Influence: Two Hundred Years of the Monroe Doctrine. This program will feature a panel of scholars who will discuss the history as well as the current use of the best-known U.S. policy toward the Western Hemisphere. Highlighted in an otherwise routine annual message delivered to Congress by President James Monroe in December 1823\, the doctrine warned European nations that the United States would not tolerate further colonization or puppet monarchs in the Western Hemisphere. Sara Bon-Harper\, Executive Director\, James Monroe’s Highland and Scott H. Harris\, Executive Director\, University of Mary Washington Museums\, will lead the discussion of the three main elements of the Monroe Doctrine: non- colonization\, non-intervention\, and separate spheres of influence for the Americas and Europe. This program is presented in partnership with James Monroe Museum and James Monroe’s Highland.
