Santi Obeziuk y Leti Haller se pusieron la máscara y salieron a recorrer las nevadas calles de la Capital Federal para unirse a la resistencia y de paso charlar sobre El Eternauta. La adaptación de la obra maestra de H. G. Oesterheld llegó a la pantalla de la mano de Bruno Stagnaro y un gran elenco encabezado por Ricardo Darín, César Troncoso, Carla Peterson y Ariel Staltari. ¿Cuántas lecturas se pueden hacer de esta historia? ¿Cómo se hicieron los efectos especiales en esta Buenos Aires postapocalíptica? ¿Podemos salvarnos solos?

La actriz y directora argentina, conocida por sus papeles en "Son amores", "Sos mi vida", "Lalola" y "Los exitosos Pells" entre otros, ganadora del Martín Fierro y premio Clarín, llega a Montevideo a presentarse con "REVERSO ¿Qué es real y qué no?". La obra escrita y dirigida por Matías Feldman. Una mujer y su familia reciben la inesperada visita de los ex socios de su Galería de Arte. Se pondrán al día, recordarán aventuras, discutirán, reirán y también seguirán ocultando sus amores prohibidos. Pero las cosas no son lo que aparentan ser. Lo real se vuelve difuso. Lo que vemos tiene su indefectible reverso. ¿Estaremos en el mundo real o en el mundo virtual? REVERSO ¿Qué es real y qué no?, no sólo es una obra sobre el metaverso y las nuevas tecnologías, sino que también es una obra acerca de los duelos. Nos habla de cómo vivimos las pérdidas, y en este tiempo que nos toca vivir, cómo es el rol que juega la tecnología como plataforma donde exorcizamos nuestros dolores. Sábado 31 de agosto y domingo 1 de setiembre a las 21:00 hs. Teatro El Galpón.

One of the most fascinating story lines in Season One of the HBO series "The Gilded Age" was that of the young black writer Peggy Scott and her Brooklyn family.  Elements of Peggy's father's character were based on scholar Dr. Carla Peterson's own ancestral family.   In her groundbreaking book, Black Gotham: A Family History of African-Americans in Nineteenth Century New York City, Dr. Peterson sheds light on how this community grew, how diverse the community actually was, and she provides insight into leading figures and their contributions often missing in standard accounts of the period.   In this episode Dr. Peterson discusses the path of her own research, which ultimately revealed a richer, deeper sense of community and identity than many realized. 

La actriz y cantante argentina protagoniza junto a Carla Peterson la película "Blondi", la ópera prima de la actriz y directora Dolores Fonzi, quien además escribió el guion junto a Laura Paredes.

Episode 28 features a conversation with CARLA L. PETERSON, author of the 2011 book “Black Gotham: A Family History of African Americans in Nineteenth-Century New York City.” Professor Peterson's book served as a resource for the creation of the characters, story, and the Black community in HBO's THE GILDED AGE. Part detective tale, part social and cultural narrative, "Black Gotham" is Carla Peterson's riveting account of her quest to reconstruct the lives of her nineteenth-century ancestors. As she shares their stories and those of their friends, neighbors, and business associates, she illuminates the greater history of African-American elites in New York City. (Source: Yale University Press) Carla L. Peterson is professor emerita in the Department of English at the University of Maryland, College Park, and a specialist in nineteenth-century African American literary and cultural studies. In addition to "Black Gotham: A Family History of African Americans in Nineteenth-Century New York City" (published in 2011) she has published numerous essays and a second book "Doers of the Word: African-American Women Speakers and Writers in the North, 1830-1880" (1995). Carla Peterson is currently at work on a new project, "Urbanity and Taste: The Making of African American Modernity in Antebellum New York and Philadelphia."

HBO’s “The Gilded Age” is a historical drama set in New York City in the 1800s that details the lives of rich families. It follows Peggy Scott, a Black writer, played by Denée Benton. Peggy’s character belongs to a group of people known as the Black elite. In this episode of Beyond Black History Month, host Femi Redwood speaks with Benton about her challenges, her drive to tell this often ignored story, and why she’s so protective of her character. Femi also talks to Carla Peterson, the author of the book “Black Gotham: A Family History of African-Americans in 19th Century New York City.”

Digging up our roots seems to be the thing these days.  There are a host of genealogy resources available for anyone who cares to (re)discover their familial past.  Still, in the Americas people of African descent who want to take part in this digging encounter barriers; often there are gaps in the family histories of those whose members were bought and sold on a whim.   As she takes readers on a remarkable historical journey, Carla Peterson, author of Black Gotham:  A Family History of African Americans in Nineteenth-Century New York City (Yale University Press, 2011), illuminates the challenges of (re)discovering family histories and along the way, readers glean much about US national history. Armed with determination, patience beyond measure, and with several doses of serendipity, Peterson, Professor of English at the University of Maryland, College Park, takes her desire to return and find elements of her past to the archives of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.  Her persistence reveals to readers a new view of nineteenth century Gotham, as Washington Irving called the city of New York.  For example, Black Gothamprovides support for social historians who would argue that the New Negro movement–often solely associated with the Harlem Renaissance–began in the ante-bellum era.  And, those interested in the education of free African Americans pre-1865 may find it fascinating that many of the 19th century’s black elite were a part of New York’s African Free School system–the Mulberry Street School, in particular.  Celebrated alumni include James McCune Smith, Alexander Crummell, Henry Highland Garnet, George Downing, the Reason brothers–Charles and Patrick–as well as Peterson’s great-great grandfather, Peter Guignon, and her great-grandfather, Philip White.  As Peterson rediscovers her paternal family’s New York history, she at times laments the obscurity to which the women in her family were relegated; she does her best to remedy this, however, as she uses facts and imagination to piece together their lives. While the book divulges new perspectives on freedom–or the lack thereof–for black New Yorkers in the nineteenth century, it also is instructive with regards to methods of research for those who seek to dress up the scraps of memory mothers, fathers, grand-aunts or grand-uncles choose to share. Needless to say, the acts of both forgetting and remembering are found not only in personal narratives of history; the journey upon which Peterson embarks also forces readers to consider how and whom institutions choose to forget and/or remember–indeed, how the nation selectively forgets and remembers. Sankofa is an Adinkra symbol of West Africa’s Akan people that means “to go back and take it.”  It describes one impetus for Dr. Carla Peterson’s journey for she indeed goes back to see; Black Gotham:  A Family History of African Americans in Nineteenth-Century New York City attests to the fact that her insistence pays off significantly–both for her personally, and for lovers of history alike.  Read alongside a virtual archive http://archive.blackgothamarchive.org/ wherein one can find documents and images of New York’s black elite of the nineteenth century, the narrative moves one steadily along, inspiring new critical questions and intrigue.
