PREMIO MUNICIPAL DE LITERATURA
LUIS JOSÉ DE TEJEDA - 2008
Género Novela Breve

ACTA DEL JURADO

En la ciudad de Córdoba, a dieciocho días del mes de diciembre del año dos mil ocho, tras haber evaluado los cuarenta y cuatro trabajos presentados, el Jurado del Premio Municipal de Literatura Luis José de Tejeda 2008, Género Novela Breve, integrado por Tununa Mercado, Angélica Gorodischer y Perla Suez, acuerda en otorgar de manera unánime las siguientes distinciones.

El Jurado otorga el TERCER PREMIO por unanimidad a El color de las rocas, ingresada con el número 32, presentada al concurso con el pseudónimo de Eloísa Andrade.

Escrita con una prosa austera y un lenguaje íntimo y sutil la novela crece cada vez que la protagonista va en busca de los suyos. En una lengua reticente, la temporalidad de la memoria es el núcleo que sostiene esta historia de familia. La escritura del pasado ocupa un lugar medular y la familia, tema central de la memoria, recupera una forma imaginaria inquietante, un diagrama con afectos que se va construyendo de modo preciso y eficaz. La narradora ahonda con singularidad en su pasado familiar y nos conmueve mientras construye el desamparo que la lleva hacia los orígenes.

El pseudónimo Eloísa Andrade corresponde a ELIZABETH LERNER

Fragment and Fluid

This call for papers has an interesting focus that makes me think further in the method for my work as layers of overlapped maps that produce space in the way.


I am organizing a panel on "Fragment and Fluid Urbanities" at the
European Conference on African Studies to be held in Leipzig 4-7 June
2009. I would like to invite innovative papers that contribute to
theorizing urban spatialities in African cities beyond dominant accounts
of socio-spatial fragmentation. The full panel description is copied
below. I have also attached some general information on the conference
and on how to submit an abstract. Please review the panel description
and consider providing a paper or pass this call for papers to other
interested colleagues. Abstracts need to be uploaded to the conference
website by December 31, 2008.

For a list of the approved panels and further information please see:

For questions regarding the panel please contact me.

Yours sincerely,

Christine Hentschel



Fragmented and Fluid Urbanities

This panel seeks to foster a new understanding of urban spatialities in
African contexts. It contrasts common accounts of fragmentation,
polarisation, and 'new segregation', with more dynamic, fluid
understandings of contemporary urban space.
Dominant accounts of postcolonial or post-apartheid cities emphasize
their deep-rooted or newly created morphologies of social and spatial
fragmentation. According to these depictions of contemporary urban
realities, the city, as such, does not exist (anymore) and is divided
into bubbles of gentrification and forgotten slums, into islands of
safety and hotspots of fear and terror. Wealth and spatial disparities
correlate with governance disparities, triggering new forms of exclusion.
This panel encourages urban scholars from a variety of disciplines (e.g.
geography, sociology, political science, urban planning and
criminology), to challenge the concept of the fragmented city with more
dynamic, fluid theories of urban space, governance and everyday life,
using temporality, movement and informal productions of space.
