March 19th - 22nd

SCADTA 100 years: an introduction to cultural history and literature of aviation (1919-2019) The international event´s proposition is to provide a broad introduction to the cultural history of aviation. A theoretical overview will be presented about the relationship between the history of mobility, the means of transportation, and a aesthetic and ethic appreciation of the airplane in modern literature. The following approach in Latin America will take a step back in time, including the excursus on “the conquest of the celestial space” undertaken in the continent between the XVIII and XIX centuries; then will dive into the introduction of international narratives and poems related to aviation (among them: Romain Gary, La promesse de l’aube; Antonio Iturbe, A cielo abierto, etc.), to set focus in Latin American, including the most recent, that bring aviatic studies from the work of Ramón Illán Bacca; as well as a science-fiction classic text on the local importance that claims to be read internationally: Barranquilla 2132 (1932), by José Antonio Osorio Lizarazo. Among the most recent work, we find the novel by Héctor Moreno Reyes about about the arrival of a German pilot to Barranquilla, which crystallizes the start of SCADTA. This masterpiece narrates a moment when “Colombia will surmount to the skies” but does not set aside the obscure aspects that are inscribed in the modernization of the transatlantic transportation.

Activities: An aesthetic-cultural reading of the aviation history.

History of aviation in Barranquilla exhibition, SCADTA 100 years.

Exhibition of the book about SCADTA. Conferences: • More than means of transportation: aesthetics and ethics of the airplane in modern literature.

The fall of the Berlin wall and the transformation of a continent

The fall of the Berlin Wall in the late evening of November 9, 1989 represents, without a doubt, one of the most dramatic events of the 20 th century, with enormous repercussions until nowadays. As the most visible tranche of the so called Iron Curtin that since the end of World War II divided the European Continent, the fall of the wall marks the beginning of the dissolution of the Communist Block, dominated by the Soviet Union. It stands for the end of the Cold War that made possible the reunification of Germany and put an end to the division of Europe by integrating its Eastern parts into the common project of the European Union. After 30 years, the conference seeks to shed light on this event from different ‘Central European’ perspectives and invites to reflect on its long term-consequences for Germany, the countries of Eastern Europe as well as on the relations between the European Union and Russia, the great neighbor on the Eastern flank.

Panel Topics: • The Fall of the Berlin Wall and the Collapse of the Soviet System in Eastern Europe • Long-Term Effects: the Political Transformation of the European Continent • The Burdens of the Past: a Balance 30 Years after • Workshop: How to Deal with a Violent Past? Experiences from East Germany • Poetry Reading Other Activities: • Exhibitions: “Total East. Life in the GRD”; “The fall of the Berlin Wall”.

• German Film Cycle ‘The Fall of the Berlin Wall on the Screen’ • How to deal with a conflictive past? Experiences on the German Communist Dictatorship.

• Poetic reading.

Holocaust Literature: A way of building collective memory

Reading and analysis of the literary works by the survivors of the concentration camps and German extermination, that have become a benchmark for the construction of historic memory around the atrocities of this event. The chosen authors for the reading carry great importance due to the fact that they were relevant figures for history, politics and Nobel Prize winners. Amongst them: Primo Levi; Imre Kértez; Jorge Semprúm; Paul Steinberg. For the analysis of each of the chosen masterpieces we will start with the concept “Grey Area” introduced by Primo Levi that sets forth the complexity of judging the actions of those that have been part of wars and conflicts, and also, formulates an analysis about the good and the bad of the behavior of the people.

The trends towards urbanization is increasing at a fast rate, not just because of the construction and transformation of the place, yet because of the accelerated demand of resources and the impact of the dynamics of the urban centers upon the whole planet. The symposium of European and Latin-American cities will foster an open debate around the land use trends, its threats and risks, the urbanization and the resulting problems derived from land-use conflicts. The debates pretends to combine the action and evaluation approach of territory management by utilizing of urban landscape tool and its modification through the improvement of urban biodiversity and ecosystem services offered to the community. Diverse European and Latin-American management case studies will be presented in order to establish a dialogue concentrated in possible solutions to reach a better territorial development.

Levitating in Physics:

108 years of Superconductivity

Even though there are now various applications of superconductivity that make planet earth a better place to live, such as magnetic levitation trains that travel at 600 Km/h, electromagnetic resonance imaging, for which the diagnoses have saved millions of lives, the great CERN hadrons collider located near to Geneva, that allowed to discover the Higgs Boson, amongst many others, the average human ignores the fascinating physical phenomena that derives from superconductivity. The main objective of this seminar is to unravel the historical facts for the public of the Caribbean Region, the most recent and shocking discoveries, as well as the amazing applications of the superconductivity in electronics as in medicine.

II Cátedra UN Caribe: Truth and Historical Memory in the societies that have endured violent conflicts:

Reflections on the German and Colombian Cases

To know the truth about the events related to the violent conflicts, is a previous requirement for facing it, solving it and moving forward towards the social reconciliation and forgiveness. To that extent, it is relevant to provide spaces for epistemological, theoretical and methodological reflection, around the institutional mechanisms implemented to move on to a non-violent setting in the Colombian Context.

Likewise, it turns out pertinent to know and compare theoretical and methodological reflections on the approach of the Truth and Memory in other countries that have experienced violent conflicts, as it happened in Germany.

VII International Seminar of Education and Childhood:

Quality and Childhood Education

The quality of early education and its measurement becomes a global goal for the countries, which was considered specifically in Goal 4 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that sets for 2030 “to make sure that all girls and boys have access to care and development services during early childhood and a quality education through preschool, so that they can prepare for primary education”. This Goal generated local, regional, national and international dynamics of monitoring and evaluation of the comprehensive care services for early childhood, based on the construction of indicators that enable the understanding and commissioning of the early childhood quality education idea in the physical environment, education level of the staff, number of kids and educators per classroom, administrative management of the services, curriculum and pedagogic processes, among other aspects. This space allows us to generate reflections around the thematic in the local, national and international context and proposes routes to face this great challenge.

Why are insects the great survivors in evolution?

The insects are the most diverse and abundant organisms on the earth. The tropics are wealthy regions and Colombia is a “hot spot” worldwide. Understanding how this group of insects evolved, why are they important to the ecosystem, why so many varieties of shapes, colors, diets, camouflage, flights, is intriguing. A study of their genomes is even more interesting and that brings us to understand why they are the most successful group of little organisms on earth.
