POSTPONED InterAmerican Studies Colloquium (Debora Gerstenberger, 4.6.)
The Future Machine: How Digital Computers Shaped Temporalities of State Institutions in Latin America (1960–1980). Debora Gerstenberger (Universität zu Köln).
Since 2022, Debora Gerstenberger is professor for Latin American History at the University of Cologne (Iberian and Latin American Department). Her main areas of research and interest are Global History, Latin American History, secret services, police forces and state formation, with a regional focus on Brazil and the Portuguese Empire of the early modern period and the Cono Sur. Until 2022 she was junior professor for Latin American History at the Free University of Berlin, with a special focus on gender and globalisation research. In the colloquium, Debora Gerstenberger will take the empirical examples of the Argentinian military and the Brazilian secret service to discuss how computers have shaped temporalities of states and societies in Latin America.
This session is a cooperation with Global and Entanglement History. The venue changed to E0-202 at groundfloor of the X-building.
