SEMANA GARCÍA MÁRQUEZ

(October 20-22, 2009)

For the UC Denver community, Professor Andrés Lema-Hincapié is proposing a week of cultural activities centering on the author Gabriel García Márquez´s works and life. The prestige of this event will be increased by a visit from an internationally known scholar, Colombian Professor Conrado Zuluaga, who will deliver public lectures, lead short seminars, and hold informal talks in English and Spanish at UC Denver, the University of Denver, and Cherry Creek High School. Other activities include: oral presentations on García Márquez by students from our B.A. and M.A. programs; public readings in English and in Spanish by students of García Márquez´s short stories; viewings of documentaries and films inspired by his works; and a closing reception to thank the visiting scholar. Program details will be available in early October. All UCD faculty and students are encouraged to participate in this event. Following are the titles of Professor Conrado Zuluaga’s Public Presentations in Spanish:

• “García Márquez periodista: Bogotá, Cartagena, Barranquilla” (Lecture)
• “Cien años de soledad, el sabio catalán y la tradición literaria del Quijote” (Lecture)
• “Cine y literatura en García Márquez” (short seminar of 4-6 hours for faculty and UCD students)
