About the Conference Location and How to Get There

 

Conference Location: 

Mexico Press Club, A.C.

FILOMENO MATA 8 COL. CENTRO HISTÓRICO 

CP. 06000 MÉXICO D.F. DEL. CUAUHTEMOC

Most of the regular conference sessions will take place in the Press Club of Mexico City. This is a beautiful colonial building with a colourful past. The house was constructed in the 17th century as a hospital and convent run by a order of "The Sisters of Betlehem" (Betlehemitas). In the early years, the hospital was dedicated to the indigenous population of Mexico City. 
After the closing down of the hospitals of religious orders in the 1820s, the building was taken over by the Mexican Military Academy and another part was used by changing ministries and other public educational and public organisations for over a century until 1961 when the Mexican Press Club took over most of the old convent. Next to the Press Club, in the part of the convent that in the 19th century was used by the Military Academy, the old hospital church, we find today the Museum of the Mexican Army.
If you are staying in Downtown Mexico City the conference location can be easily reached from anywhere. You can easily walk from most Downtown hotels to the Press Club. If you stay in other parts of the city, the conference location is easily accessible by metro. Both metro station Bellas Artes and metro station Allende are within two blocks from the Press Club.

[11.06.2007]: Humor (poscolonial) de Reinas

por Antonio Marquet/Enkidu

Reinas (España, 2006) de Manuel Gómez Pereira, es una divertida comedia de enredo, quizá una de las mejores que haya visto, lograda haciendo funcionar a la heterosexualidad como espejo de la gaydad... más
