Identifier: Series 2

Scope and Contents

From the Series:

This series comprises original cassette tapes and one VHS tape, and digitized versions of them on CD-ROMS and DVDs. Recordings original to and made by Ana Cara in Argentina regarding milongas include her interviews with Borges (in Spanish) in 1979 and 1984, and an interview by Cara and Lawrence MacDonald with composer Carlos Guastavino (in Spanish and English). The Borges public event at First Church in Oberlin in 1983 was videotaped, but the sound quality is poor.

Several audio recordings were made by Cara at locations other than Oberlin, including Allegheny Conferences in 1984 and 1985, and the Dickinson College Symposium on Borges in 1983. She also recorded a televised broadcast in Spanish as an audio recording.
