Canadian Communication Association (CCA) Annual Conference 2021

As a theme, “Northern Relations” encourages delegates to explore the connections between peoples, communities, cultures, and ways of knowing, while also listening to those voices that speak directly to some of the most pressing matters of relation (to the land, to each other) in the North: climate change, governance, social justice, reconciliation, reciprocity, education, and much more. A relation is not only an association and an affiliation, it is also an act of telling or reporting; relations are at the heart of how peoples communicate, organize knowledge, and understand their place in the world.

Displaying the social history of migrants: content, scenography, public engagement

Donner à voir l’histoire sociale des migrations: contenus, scénographies, médiations

We seek proposals from post-doctoral scholars, recent PhDs, as well as those in the final stages of their dissertations with a background in related fields, in particular migration studies and social history, especially as they intersect with museum studies and/or public history. Participants will discuss, from a theoretical and a practical point of view, the best ways to display, in an exhibition context, the daily experience of past migrations in all their social dimensions.

ReFocus: The Films of Rachid Bouchareb

Rachid Bouchareb was born in Paris in 1953 to Algerian parents and became one of France’s first French filmmakers of North African descent. While his career now spans over thirty years and his diverse films have garnered both mainstream and critical success, including three Oscar nominations, there exists no book-length study (in French or English) on Bouchareb’s body of work. The director’s films are remarkably varied in their themes, formal elements, and narrative settings, from Senegal, England, Vietnam, and Algeria, to France, Belgium, Turkey, and the United States.

Migrations, voices, transversal paths

The encounter between the arts, sciences and militancies

Du 22 au 28 octobre 2018 se tiendra, à Marseille, une rencontre autour de tables-rondes, expositions, projections, spectacles. Ce croisement des pratiques, créations et réflexions cherchera à explorer comment imaginer de nouvelles manières de rendre visible les migrations, d’entendre la voix migrante. Face à l’urgence et à la complexité des situations, face à un modèle sociétal qui oscille entre images spectaculaires et mesures restrictives, nous souhaitons en effet nous poser ensemble la question de notre responsabilité : comment sortir du « grand spectacle » politique et médiatique pour penser nos productions de façon à « dire la vérité du mieux possible » (N. Chomsky) ?

Dialectics of Dread and Refuge

Theatre, Performance and Philosophy Working Group (TaPRA Conference)

In A Grammar of the Multitude, Paolo Virno discriminates between the Kantian view of the dialectic of dread and refuge, which is based on a distinction between particular danger and absolute danger (also articulated by Heidegger through the distinction between fear and anguish) and the collapse of this distinction in the post-Fordist world, in which "the dividing line between fear and anguish, between relative dread and absolute dread, is precisely what has failed." (Virno 2004, 32) If post-Fordist institutions rely on a culture of pervasive dread – manifest as fear and anxiety – how do we resist this nearly intangible culture today? Arguably, we are moving beyond the sort of entrenched paralysis Virno speaks of, towards a new sort of political breakthrough, a manner of imagining life not determined by institutional cultures of fear and anxiety. Yet much thinking needs still to be done around the ways in which we engage in concerted resistance: do we fight within institutional walls – and if so, how do we resist systems of perpetual visibilisation – the gaze of securitization that renders us so exposed? What does this fight look like? Do we exit – and if so, where to? Is there a new underground?

Memory, power and resistance - the peasantry, countryside and Indian identity in the cinema and photography of Latin America

Cette journée d’études propose d’examiner la production d’images fixes et en mouvement de la ruralité paysanne et de l’indianité de l’Amérique latine, région dans laquelle deux sociétés-mémoires (Pierre Nora), paysanne et indienne, sont menacées non seulement dans leur existence mais aussi dans les représentations qu’elles se font d’elles-mêmes (George Didi-Huberman).

South Asian Diasporic Cinema: Encounters

The fourth issue of /DESI/ will focus on the question of encounters in diasporic South Asian cinema: Afghanistan, India, Maldives, Pakistan, Bangladesh Nepal and Sri Lanka. The transformation of this contemporary human condition into filmic material coincides with a turn in the scientific study of diasporas. Forced migrations, which generate a movement of displacement and settlement in home territories, movements of arrivals, caught in a logic of deterritorialization, diasporas – and more particularly South Asian diasporas – are all relocated in transnational and transcultural spaces. Cinema holds a mirror to this experience of movement through this new “ethnoscape” (Appadurai) made up of shifts and disjunctures, free flows and political hurdles, border-crossings and assignment of identity.

Travelling Narratives and Images in Times of Migration

Migrant narratives and aesthetic practices influenced by experiences of migration constitute a growing field in contemporary art and literature. Current patterns of migration and issues related to the protection of refugees and asylum seekers contribute to the strong societal impact of migrant aesthetics and narrratives, but also serve to explain the need for them as such, as well as the need to reexamine them. More than ever, we need to understand the experiences of exiles, migrants and refugees. The objective of this interdisciplinary seminar is to examine textual, material and visual expressions that represent, discuss and problematize migration.

Border in film

Seventh "Law and Cinema" conference

La septième édition des rencontres « Droit et cinéma » sera consacrée au thème des frontières dans le cinéma. Nous tenterons par une approche interdisciplinaire (juridique, historique, économique, littéraire, civilisationniste, sociologique, communicationnelle, cinématographique) d'analyser la frontière au prisme du 7^ème art. La frontière est-elle coupure ou passage ? Les marches, héritées de l’Empire romain, ont-elles disparu ? La chute du Mur et la suppression d’une partie des postes frontières, notamment en Europe, signifient-elles disparition de toutes les frontières ou leur maintien dans les domaines économiques et politiques ? Le cinéma transcende-t-il les frontières nationales à la fois par son ingéniosité créative, mais également dans sa représentation des frontières symboliques, mentales, de genre ?

Représenter la migration et la division sociale

Visualising migration and divided societies

Les sociétés contemporaines sont souvent décrites comme profondément marquées par des mouvements de population, de biens et d’information sans précèdent ; un thème récurrent dans les discussions sur la globalisation, la société de l’information ou la « modernité liquide ». Ces lectures ne sont pas sans liens avec celles s’intéressant aux frontières inter-étatiques et divisions intra-urbaines (recherches sur la ségrégation résidentielle, l’exclusion sociale ou le contrôle des migrations).
