  1. Background


    The Historical Cartography Committee of the History Commission of the Pan American Institute of Geography and History (specialized organization of the Organization of American States, called IPGH after the Spanish & Portuguese initials), made up of Dr. Jorge Ortiz Sotelo, Dr. Filiberto Cruz Sánchez and Mg. Luis Valenzuela Olivares, has been developing the project "Historical Atlas of America". This project seeks to develop, based on international seminars, a modern image of the interaction that American societies and spaces have had over time.

    In 2017, the first of these seminars, focused in the pre-Columbian period, was held in Santiago de Chile, under the organization of Mg. Valenzuela.The second seminar, focused on the colonial period, took place virtually in 2020, with Dr. Cruz in charge of its organization. This year the third of the seminars will be held, aimed at dealing with the themes of the 19th and 20th centuries, under the direction of Dr. Ortiz and the general coordination of Prof. Héctor Maldonado Félix. This event will take place on November 10th to 12th, in particularly special circumstances for Peru, because of the bicentennial commemoration of the countrie’s independence.

  3. Discussion Sessions


    Each discussion session will be largely configured by the presentations included in it, to favor a climate of interexchange of contributions and group production of reflection and knowledge.
    1. They will be carried out in 90-minute sessions, organized in one of these two modalities:
      1. Mode A
        Panel with base exposition. It begins with a presentation by a base speaker (25 minutes) complemented by presentations by 2 or 3 panelists (in total 25 minutes); This will be followed by the dialogue with the audience (30 minutes), either the full group or separated into virtual sub-groups. It closes with a brief full group recapitulation.
        Participants:​​
        • Moderator
        • Base speaker
        • 2-3 panelists
      2. Mode B
        Roundtable. It includes the presentation of 3-4 speakers (making up to 50 minutes), followed by a 30-minute dialogue with the audience (either the full group or separated into virtual sub-groups). It closes with a brief full group recapitulation.
        Participants:
        • Moderator
        • 3-4 roundtable participants
    2. Presentations will be in one of the four OAS official languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French), but there may also be bilingual presentations.
      • Quechua and Spanish
      • Guarani and Portuguese
      • Mandarin and English
      • Tsalagi and French
      • English and Spanish
      • etc.
    3. We do our best to have simultaneous translation and in this effort we have convened a broad group of co-organizers. We do not want to exclude any of the languages that are nowadays used by populations of America, due to their origin or due to migration.
