Portuguese, has organized several discussion sessions with
area and international scholars to explore issues involving
Latin American cultural policy here and abroad, said Prof.
Naomi Lindstrom, the group's chairwoman. Some of
these issues are the preservation of Latin American cultural
patrimony. the basis for "canonicity" (i.e. the degree of
legitimacy people are willing to grant to literature that is
nonclassical and established) in literature and art, the
administrative framework for cultural policy, policy
options, and religion and society.

first speaker in November 1985. Elia Mar Diaz-Ortiz,
who is with the UT Spanish & Portuguese Department,
spoke on the reception of Chicano literature in academic
departments of foreign languages.
