SUMMARY:Ethical Loneliness: restorative listening after disaster and oppression  (ALLab)
DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION\nPeople who listen to stories about trauma and recovery may hear things they never wanted to hear. They may also simply fail to hear stories well due to various presuppositions about how the world works\, what counts as a stable narrative\, or what it is they think they’re listening for. Recovery from violence and oppression involves work on the part of those who have been harmed\, of course. But it also requires that those who have not been harmed learn how to hear stories about trauma and even to listen for their own failures of hearing. This talk will take a philosophical look at the difficulties that reside on all sides of this complicated conversation\, focusing equally on testimony from traumatized survivors of a wide array of harms and on the reasons why even those who have been trained to listen sometimes fail to hear well.   \nJill Stauffer is Associate Professor and Director of Peace\, Justice\, and Human Rights\, Haverford College (USA). She is the author of Ethics Loneliness: The Injustice of Not Being Heard. \nCOHDS/ALLAB are grateful to be able to offer our programming on unceded Kanien’kehá:ka territory\, in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\nIn English \nWith Jill Stauffer \nOnline \nREGISTRATION\nYou can register via Zoom by clicking here. \nMORE INFORMATION\nIf you have any questions\, contact us at acts.listeninglab@concordia.ca.

Hence the question stretching from memory to imagination: What does homeland mean to you?If there were no borders and you were able to visit Palestine for only one day\, where would you go and what would you do? \nThis collaborative installation is the result of the research-creation process of Lucine Serhan’s work as part of her MA thesis in Art Education at Concordia University.

SUMMARY:Autoriser l'écriture
DESCRIPTION:[Cet évènement fait partie d’une série de deux ateliers. En vous inscrivant\, vous vous engagez à participer aux deux ateliers qui auront lieu le 6 et 7 juin de 17h00 à 19h00\, 2022] \nDESCRIPTION\nDans une série de deux ateliers\, nous voulons tracer les contours de ce que permet l’écriture quand elle s’adosse à la mémoire puissante et faillible des récits d’autrui. En collaboration avec les artistes- chercheureuses\, nous voulons explorer les difficiles enjeux de la création littéraire quand elle se propose comme stratégie pour reconstituer les liens\, la scène du crime; pour proposer un parcours mémoriel\, pour repriser les maillages d’un récit endommagé par les traumatismes passés et présents. \nÀ ces fins\, nous proposerons des réflexions en recherche-création s’appuyant sur les méthodes de l’histoire orale ainsi que sur des enjeux plus spécifiques concernant l’écriture\, les positionnements de l’écrivaine\, les subjectivités multiples\, les appartenances et marginalités ainsi que les risques encourus par un tel travail. \nEnfin\, nous nous appuierons sur les potentialités et ressources de la poésie. \nÀ PROPOS DES PRÉSENTATRICES\nStéphane Martelly est née à Port-au-Prince. Écrivaine\, peintre et chercheure\, elle poursuit une démarche réflexive sur la littérature haïtienne contemporaine\, sur la création\, sur les marginalités littéraires ainsi que sur les limites de l’interprétation. Elle est l’autrice d’un essai en recherche-création\, Les jeux du dissemblable. Folie\, marge et féminin en littérature haïtienne contemporaine (Nota bene\, 2016). Ses plus récentes publications comprennent le recueil de poésie Inventaires et le livre-poème illustré L’enfant-Gazelle (Remue-ménage\, 2018). Elle a fondé la collection MARTIALES aux Éditions du Remue-Ménage en 2020\, consacrée à l’écriture des femmes noires.

Cette approche\, inspirée à l’origine par les pratiques artistiques\, s’étend désormais à de nombreux domaines comme les sciences sociales\, l’architecture\, l’aménagement\, l’éducation\, l’activisme ou l’histoire orale. La cartographie sensible peut en effet permettre d’identifier et de révéler des aspects importants des récits comme les émotions associées à la mémoire et aux souvenirs.

SUMMARY:(Pre)Creation Processes: Milo Rau's Tribunals\, Political Actions\, and Prefigurative Performance
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Lily Climenhaga\, PhD \nThis talk will primarily explore two lines of work within Swiss-German political theatre director Milo Rau’s multifaceted oeuvre: (1) his political action performances exemplified by projects like The Congo Tribunal and The Revolt of Dignity (2019)\, and (2) site specific adaptations of classic texts exemplified by The Trilogy of Ancient Myths (Orestes in Mosul (2019)\, The New Gospel (2020)\, Antigone in the Amazons (2023)). \nOver the past fifteen years\, Rau and his production company\, the International Institute of Political Murder or IIPM\, has won international attention for his transnational\, politically engaged\, documentary-inspired theatre. With his appointment as artistic director of the Belgian city-theatre NTGent in 2018\, Rau showed increased interest in what he refers to as “conflict zones”\, building on an existing interest in the impact of neoliberal economic policy on the Global South first marked by The Congo Tribunal (2015/17). \nThis talk will look at Rau’s onsite\, ethnographic\, research-based approach as it searches for solutions fostered by the creation of what the director calls “practical networks of solidarity” between local and international partners\, allying – for better or for worse – the grassroots with the global. \n\nLily Climenhaga wrote the dissertation (Re)Creation Processes: Milo Rau and the International Institute of Political Murder in a joint degree between the University of Alberta and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität and the co-editor of Theater’s special 2021 edition on Milo Rau. Lily is currently undertaking the FWO-funded postdoctoral project “Institutionalized Resistance: Milo Rau’s NTGent Period” at Universiteit Gent. Lily is a dramaturg\, editor\, blogger (https://lostdramaturgininternational.wordpress.com)\, critic\, translator\, and occasional stage manager.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Small Stories of War: Children\, Youth and Conflict in Canada and Beyond (McGill-Queen’s University Press\, 2023)
DESCRIPTION:With Barbara Lorenzkowski\, Kristine Alexander\, and Andrew Burtch   \nEnglish \nMany believed the twentieth century would be the century of the child: an era in which modern societies would value and protect children\, sheltering them from violence and poverty. Yet this hopeful vision was marred by the harsh realities of migration\, displacement\, and armed conflict.  \nSmall Stories of War grapples with the meanings and memories of childhood and wartime by asking new questions about lived experience. Spanning the First World War to the early twenty-first century and featuring chapters about Canada\, Australia\, Germany\, the former Yugoslavia\, Rwanda\, and northern Uganda\, this volume asks how young people encountered and responded to armed conflict. How did children\, youth\, and their families make sense of war in the violent twentieth century? How have they shared their stories and experiences of violence and trauma? Analyzing a broad range of sources including family letters\, oral history\, and children’s artwork\, contributors offer important insights into the production of historical knowledge with and about young people.  \nYou are cordially invited to join the editors and contributors of this collection in the launch of this collection.  \n\nBarbara Lorenzkowski is the Lead Co-Director of COHDS and Associate Professor and Associate Chair of History at Concordia University.  \nKristine Alexander is Canada Research Chair in Child and Youth Studies and Associate Professor of History at the University of Lethbridge.  \nAndrew Burtch is the post-1945 historian at the Canadian War Museum and Adjunct Research Professor in Carleton University’s History Department.  \nREGISTRATION \n Please note that all of our events are free and open to all\, but you need to register!

SUMMARY:Where Literature and Oral History Meet | Quand la littérature rencontre l'histoire orale
DESCRIPTION:English/Français \nA Discussion With Professor Ceri Morgan & Copanelists \nIn this roundtable discussion\, Ceri Morgan\, writer and professor of Place Writing and Geohumanities (Keele University\, UK) and co-panelists explore the connections between literature and oral history. Stories\, poems\, essays\, and literary audio walks that sample oral history interviews uncover the layered histories of landscapes and the diverse experiences of marginalized people. They do so while showcasing the poetic potential of everyday speech. Oral history can also leverage the interview to highlight the unseen labour that goes into literary production: proofreading\, translation\, event organizing\, etc. How does oral history diversify and democratize literature\, and how does literary practice poeticize oral history? \n\nUne discussion avec la professeure Ceri Morgan & panélistes \nLors de cette table ronde\, un groupe de panélistes se joint à la professeure Ceri Morgan de l’Université Keele au Royaume-Uni\, spécialisée en géo-humanité et en écriture des lieux. Ensemble\, nous allons explorer les liens entre la littérature et l’histoire orale. Les récits\, les poèmes\, les essais et les balades audio littéraires qui échantillonnent les voix des entretiens nous permettent d’accéder à la complexité de l’histoire d’un paysage et aux voix diverses des personnes marginalisées\, tout en mettant en valeur l’aspect poétique de la parole quotidienne. L’histoire orale peut également mettre en lumière le travail invisible qui accompagne la production littéraire : relecture\, traduction\, organisation d’événements\, etc. Comment l’histoire orale diversifie-t-elle et démocratise-t-elle la littérature\, et comment la pratique littéraire poétise-t-elle l’histoire orale ? \n  \nREGISTRATION \nPlease note that all of our events are free and open to all\, but you need to register!

SUMMARY:*Cancelled* Violence and Solace : The Natal Civil War in Late-Apartheid South Africa
DESCRIPTION:*Please note that this event has been cancelled* \nwith Mxolisi R. Mchunu (University of KwaZulu-Natal)   \nEnglish/Français \n  \nIn South Africa\, the period leading to up to the country’s first democratic elections in April 1990 constituted a watershed moment. An unprecedented civil war – termed ‘black on black’ violence – pitted supporters of the African National Congress (ANC) against Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP). In 1989\, these conflicts escalated into open warfare and the arming of military units within ANC and IFP areas\, respectively.   \nWhile the conflict was ostensibly between the ANC and IFP\, state security forces were directly implicated in supplying arms and other support to the IFP. In the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands region\, the most violent period of the civil conflict lasted from 1986 to 1996. Most of those tortured and murdered were young men between the ages of thirteen and thirty-six.    \nThis talk will focus on the testimonies of women who survived this heinous war and their creation of self-defence units in the Natal-Midlands. A seven-minute audio-visual interviews conducted by the author and women combatants will be shown. The war took place not only in the battlefields but also in the homesteads\, spaces mostly occupied by women and children.    \n\nMxolisi R. Mchunu holds a Ph.D. in History from University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN). He is a post-doctoral student at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. He is the author of the award-winning Violence and Solace: The Natal Civil War in Late-Apartheid South Africa\, co-published by UKZN Press and the University of Virginia Press in 2021.    \n\nCOHDS/ALLAB is located on unceded Kanien’kehá:ka territory\, in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Out to Defend Ourselves: A History of Montreal's First Haitian Street Gang
DESCRIPTION:with Maxime Aurélien and Ted Rutland \nYou are cordially invited to join authors Maxime Aurélien and Ted Rutland for a discussion on their new book: Out to Defend Ourselves: A History of Montreal’s First Haitian Street Gang \nAbout the book: \nThis first critical history of a street gang in a Canadian city is a result of a four-year collaboration between a university professor (Ted Rutland) and the leader of les Bélangers (Maxime Aurélien). Out to Defend Ourselves tells the story of Montreal’s first Haitian street gang\, les Bélangers. It traces how the gang emerged from a group of Haitian friends\, the children of migrants from Haiti in the 1970s. It documents the forms of racial violence they experienced and their battles against them. It also documents the everyday lives of the gang members\, the petty crime some members engaged in to make ends meet\, and how the police actions against the gang changed its nature and function – making it\, finally\, a more criminally oriented and violent formation. It is a story about a gang\, but it is also a story of young Haitians making their lives in 1970s and 80s Montreal and a story about Montreal in a period of great change. \n\nMaxime Aurélien is the former leader of les Bélangers\, Montreal’s first Haitian street gang. He is the owner of Cash Content\, a pawn shop and barbershop in Montreal’s east end. \nTed Rutland is a professor at Concordia University. His research and activism focuses on the racial politics of urban planning and policing in Canadian cities. He is the author of Displacing Blackness: Planning\, Power\, and Race in Twentieth-Century Halifax. \n  \n\nREGISTRATION  \nPlease note that all of our events are free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Voices of the Immigrant Workers’ Centre
DESCRIPTION:with Lauren Laframboise and Stefan Christoff  \nIn 2007\, Montreal-based garment manufacturer Lamour prepared to shutter its Canadian production activities\, gradually laying off nearly 500 of its employees to circumvent labour legislation that would force the company to pay collective layoff benefits. Over 2007 and 2008\, Lamour workers and community organizers at the Immigrant Workers Centre (IWC) engaged in a struggle to gain compensation for Lamour employees. In 2023\, Stefan Christoff and Lauren Laframboise recorded short oral history interviews with four IWC organizers who were involved in the Lamour struggle (Mostafa Henaway\, Joey Calugay\, Yumna Siddiqi and Bita Mary Eslami). The interviews reveal the crucial role that the IWC plays in non-unionized industries that primarily employ immigrant workers. The IWC organizers also reflect on their own paths to community organizing\, and the ways that work has continued to transform amidst the rise in the logistics industry and temporary employment agencies.   \nThe interviews were broadcasted on the community radio show Free City Radio in September and October 2023. Based at CKUT 90.3 FM\, Free City Radio is hosted and produced by Stefan Christoff and is syndicated at five radio stations across Canada\, broadcast on Radio AlHara in occupied Palestine\, and is also released as a podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. The interviews were also completed in partnership with the Deindustrialization and the Politics of Our Time project based at COHDS. Listen to the interviews and find out more about the project here. This event will bring together those who were interviewed in a panel-style discussion to look back on the Lamour campaign collectively.   \n\nLauren Laframboise is a PhD student in History at Concordia and a Student Representative on the COHDS Administrative Board. Her research explores the impacts of deindustrialization in the apparel industry in Montréal and New York City. In 2021\, Lauren completed her MA in History at Concordia\, and from 2020-2022 she was the Associate Director of Deindustrialization and the Politics of Our Time (DéPOT). She has worked on a variety of public history projects exploring labour and immigration history\, including museum exhibitions\, online oral history platforms\, walking tours\, and documentary film and radio. She is also a member of the Concordia Research and Education Workers’ Union (CREW–CSN) Organizing Council and Co-convener of their Feminist Workplace Committee. \nStefan Christoff is a musician\, community radio host and student living in Tiohtià:ke / Montréal. \nMostafa Henaway\, a Canadian-born Egyptian\, is a long-time community organizer at the Immigrant Workers Centre in Montreal\, where he has been organizing for justice for immigrant/migrant workers for over two decades. He is also a researcher and PhD candidate at Concordia University. \nYumna Siddiqi is an Associate Professor of English at Middlebury College\, where she specializes in postcolonial literary studies. Her current research is on postcolonial literature\, migrants and the city. She has been a volunteer at the IWC-CTI since 2006\, and seen the Center grow from the little NGO that could to an immigrant labour power house. \nBita Mary Eslami is an Irani exile and a forever Montrealer. For two decades she has supported non-status and migrant families\, victims of police violence\, promoted child care and worked to advance the international BDS movement in solidarity with Palestinians. \n  \n\nREGISTRATION  \nPlease note that all of our events are free and open to all\, but you need to register!

SUMMARY:Stories Beyond Borders: Mapping the Imaginative Spaces  of Movement and Migration
DESCRIPTION:with Stéphane Martelly\, Maricia Fischer-Souan\, and Kelly Norah Drukker \nEnglish \nIn this panel presentation and discussion\, writers and scholars working within the disciplines of oral history\, sociology\, and creative writing share different approaches to “mapping” stories of movement and migration—from intimate ethnographies to those told within broader communities. What role does place play in the interview process\, and how does it shape the stories that emerge from oral history interviews? What strategies can we use\, informed by a range of disciplinary practices\, to capture some of the felt dislocations—the distances between “here” and “there”— that emerge from our research? Through conversation and sharing works in progress\, this panel explores how places can be (re)imagined through different modes of writing\, and how various forms of mapping can serve as useful tools to convey the stories that emerge from places\, both present and past.  \n\nChair: Stéphane Martelly\, Université de Sherbrooke (TBC) \nWriter\, painter and scholar\, Stéphane Martelly was born in Port-au-Prince and now lives in Montreal. Through a profoundly transdisciplinary approach\, she confronts theory\, critical reflection and art in her work. She has published poetry [La Boîte noire suivi de Départs 2004)] and children’s tales [Couleur de rue\, 1999 and L’Homme aux cheveux de fougère\, 2002]. Her pictorial works are showcased in the digital art book Folie passée à la chaux vive (Madness spent in quicklime) (Publie.net\, 2010). \nHer scholarly work notably includes working in the Montreal-based Life Stories Of Montrealers Displaced By War\, Genocide And Other Human Rights Violations as a researcher and coordinator. She also wrote a monograph on Haitian poet Magloire-Saint-Aude (Le Sujet opaque\, 2001) and several articles on Caribbean literature. Her latest essay in research-creation is: Les Jeux du dissemblable. Folie\, marge et féminin en littérature haïtienne contemporaine\, Nota Bene\, 2016. Her recent publications are La Maman qui s’absentait (Vents d’Ailleurs\, 2011)\, Inventaires (Triptyque\, 2016) and L’enfant gazelle (Remue-Ménage\, 2018). \nhttps://www.usherbrooke.ca/dall/departement/personnel/personnel-enseignant/stephane-martelly \nMaricia Fischer-Souan is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Research on Social Inequalities at Sciences Po Paris (October 2021-2024) and affiliated with the Centre d’études et de recherches internationales (CÉRIUM)\, Université de Montréal. Her postdoctoral research project\, “IM.MAGINE – Mapping Immigrant Imaginations: Comparing North Africans in Montréal and Marseille”\, examines representations of and relationships with space and place in migrant identity construction. She has a PhD in Social Sciences (2020) from the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Her dissertation “Becoming a Migrant in Europe: Accounts of Motive\, Meaning\, and Identity Formation” studied various processes of mobile subjectivity among both postcolonial migrants and European Union ‘free-movers’ in Berlin\, London\, Paris\, and Madrid. As part of her current IM.MAGINE project\, she is exploring lyrical and imaginative approaches to ‘everyday’ migration narratives\, both methodologically and thematically and is working on a book manuscript that charts the use of figurative language in both individual and public migration narratives. Her most recent research article\, “Belonging to the Nation\, Belonging to Europe? Varieties of Particularism and Universalism in Migrant Identity Negotiation” is published in the Journal of Contemporary European Studies (2024). \nKelly Norah Drukker is a poet\, nonfiction writer\, and doctoral candidate in Concordia University’s Humanities PhD program. As a research-creation scholar working at the intersection of creative writing\, oral history\, space and place\, and memory studies\, she has presented her projects at Concordia University\, Rutgers University\, the University of Ulster\, the University of Jyväskylä\, and Sydney Catholic University.

SUMMARY:The Archive of the Future: Oral History and Community Archiving
DESCRIPTION:with Po Ki Chan\, Sonia Dhaliwal\, Eliot Perrin\, and Carla Rodeghero \nEnglish \nJoin us for a conversation regarding lives of learning\, experiences with oral history\, and community archiving. Increasingly\, we seek to break down institutional barriers and include participants in the archival process. What does this process look like? How does community archiving differ from state archive/academic archives? How does the role of shared authority translate within the archiving process? This conversation will speak to these challenges\, but also the opportunities afforded to community-grounded archival practice that seeks to build an inclusionary archive for the future. In doing so\, we seek to speak to the best practices that can help us to achieve this. Our panellists represent diverse academic and professional backgrounds that highlight the various approaches to answering these questions. \n\nPo Ki Chan is a PhD student in INDI at Concordia University. She holds an MSc in Multimedia and Entertainment technology from the Design School of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University\, where she started her journey in exploring possibilities in a virtual representation of the heritage of cultural significance. Her research focuses on heritage conservation by leveraging oral history to provide an effective understanding and cultural presence for the global audience. \nSonia Dhaliwal is an information professional who has worked as an archivist and librarian in academic institutions. She has a keen interest in developing archives and research collections reflective of diasporas through community led digital scholarship and research-creation based initiatives. She graduated from McGill’s School of Information Studies and has an MA in History from Concordia. \nEliot Perrin is the archives coordinator for the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling at Concordia University. He is also a History PhD candidate at Concordia. His research focuses on the impacts of urban renewal and deindustrialization on a historically Francophone neighbourhood in Sudbury\, Ontario. \nCarla Rodeghero is a History Professor at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)\, in Porto Alegre\, Brazil\, where she teaches history of Contemporary Brazil\, and oral history methodology. Between 2012 and 2014\, Carla was editor of the Brazilian Oral History Association Journal (História Oral) and in the following biennium\, she chaired the national organization. Since 2018\, she coordinates the UFRGS’s Oral History Repository\, a website and a collaborative team that aims to gather\, organize and publish interviews carried out by students\, professors and other researchers from the History Department of the university. Carla is currently involved with two projects: 1) she is comparing some oral history institutional experiences in Brazil\, Canada and Italy; 2) she is a co-coordinator of the inter-institutional project Documenting the Covid 19 Experiences in Rio Grande do Sul\, that is been carried out for 14 institutions in her state. \n  \nREGISTRATION \nPlease note that all of our events are free and open to all\, but you need to register!

SUMMARY:Palates & Passages:  Navigating the Intersection of Food and Oral Histories through Migration
DESCRIPTION:with Cassandra Marsillo\, Hannah Pinilla\, and Amanda Whittaker \nEnglish \nThis panel discussion delves into the rich crossing of food history and oral history by exploring the connections between migration\, the concept of home\, and food narratives. Each of the panelists’ research focus on the storytelling found within the pages of cookbooks\, identity and memory formation through food practices\, and the enduring weight of emotion and trauma throughout migrant lives. The event aims to highlight the significance of preserving and sharing stories related to food\, migration\, and family\, and ultimately contribute to the growing research on diverse and interconnected migrant experiences.    \n\nCassandra Marsillo is an educator and public historian\, based in Tiohti:áke (Montreal)\, telling and listening to stories about immigration\, identity\, collective memory\, food\, and folklore\, particularly in relation to the Italian-Canadian experience and traditions from her family’s region\, Molise. She has an MA in Public History from Carleton University\, in Ottawa. Currently\, she is teaching in the department of History and Classics at Dawson College. \nHannah Pinilla is an oral historian and MA student in public history with a specialization in digital humanities at Carleton University. Her SSHRC-funded master’s research project\, “El Sabor del Hogar: The Transformation of Identity and Memory Through the Food Practices of Colombian Migrants in Quebec\,” engages nine Colombian migrants\, living in Montreal and Longueuil in oral history interviews facilitated through cooking sessions\, to explore how the narration\, preparation\, and consumption of ‘home foods’ is a form of embodied and interactive diasporic memory work. Her research question was guided by my own lived experiences as the granddaughter of a first-generation Colombian-Canadian: how does the dialectical relationship between identity and memory manifest through food practice and what impact does it have on the process of home-building? \nAmanda Whittaker is a PhD candidate at the University of Toronto in the Department of History. Her research is driven by her interest in the field of food studies\, gender studies\, and migration history. In her doctoral thesis\, she examines the experience of migration and how it may have altered the development and preservation of migrants’ foodways. Using the oral history testimonies of over 60 first and second-generation migrants\, her project is a study of métissage that explores the cultural negotiations\, preservation\, and exchange that occurs when migrants arrived in Montreal in the post-1960 period. The conceptual framework of her dissertation centers on the notion of “emotional transnationalism” which refers to the rupture as well as the nostalgia of migration\, and considers the embodied forms of remembering and reimagining\, where food and cuisine play a central role. \nCurrently\, she is teaching and in the process of writing her dissertation\, but she gains most of her insights from afternoons with her interview partners where quips\, memories\, and shared emotions are never in short supply. Her professional experience includes course instructing at the John Abbott College\, the University of Toronto\, and guest lecturing at Marianopolis College and UTSG. \n  \nREGISTRATION \nPlease note that all of our events are free and open to all\, but you need to register!

SUMMARY:Gaming & Oral History
DESCRIPTION:with Carl Therrien\, Jonathan Lessard\, and Dany Guay-Bélanger\n\nEnglish\n\nVideogames are a fairly young medium. Emerging as a commercial good in the early 1960s\, they have slowly made their way into the mainstream. What was once seen as toys for young boys has become so widespread that many of us have them in our living rooms or basements\, and even close to us at all times in our very pockets. There has been interest in the history of the medium for quite some time\, as can be seen with the many publications by fans and journalists and the recent resurgence of retrogaming. But academia lagged behind in investigating videogame history and it is only around 2010\, about a decade after the emergence of game studies as a discipline\, that this area of research truly gained momentum. Since then\, scholars from across disciplinary boundaries have endeavoured to analyse the complex and fascinating history of a medium that is at once art form\, culture\, and technology. Still\, oral history remains underutilised in the study of videogaming even though many scholars have argued for its potential. This event will give a brief overview of the history of videogames and of historical research on this topic. It will then bring in conversation two approaches to oral history as it relates to videogames. The first\, presented by Carl Therrien and Jonathan Lessard\, is to interview game developers\, and in this case early practitioners of what would become known as the independent game development scene. The second\, presented by Dany Guay-Bélanger\, is to interview players to preserve their memories and experiences of playing and appropriating games.\n\n\n\nJonathan Lessard is a game designer\, professor\, and researcher at Concordia University. For the past ten years as leader of the LabLabLab\, he has been exploring the playful affordances of various technologies and concepts such as natural language processing and possible worlds theory. His main research interests include emergent narratives\, complex simulations\, and game design history. \n\nCarl Therrien is Full Professor in games and film studies at the Université de Montréal. In The Media Snatcher (Platform studies\, MIT Press\, 2019)\, he proposed  a critical view of videogame historiography through a comparative study of the PC Engine platform\, confronting American and Japanese perspectives of this technology. He has written numerous papers on immersion and on the history of popular genres (such as adventure games and first-person shooters). His research projects seek to integrate more video games into the canon\, hoping to assist archivists and historians in their efforts to engage with the diversity and complexity of this culture.\n\nDany Guay-Bélanger is a FRQ-funded PhD candidate in Film Studies at the Université de Montréal. By combining his training as a public historian and a game scholar\, his research aims to develop a methodology favouring a holistic approach for the preservation and study of videogames as cultural heritage artefacts that allows players and researchers\, present and future\, to access videogames from every era of this medium’s history. Dany is currently the Francophone Representative of the Canadian Game Studies Association and scholar in residence at the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling (COHDS) of Concordia University.\n\nDany Guay-Bélanger est candidat au doctorat en études cinématographiques à l’Université de Montréal et est financé par le Fonds de recherche du Québec. Combinant sa formation d’historien public et de chercheur en étude du jeu\, sa recherche vise à développer une méthodologie favorisant une approche holistique pour la préservation et l’étude des jeux vidéo en tant qu’artéfacts d’héritage culturel. Cette méthodologie a pour but de permettre aux joueu·euse·s et aux chercheur·euse·s\, présent·e·s et futur·e·s\, d’accéder aux jeux vidéo de toutes les époques de l’histoire de ce médium. Dany est actuellement le représentant francophone de l’Association canadienne des études des jeux et chercheur en résidence au Centre d’histoire orale et de récits numériques (CHORN) de l’Université Concordia.\n\n \n\nREGISTRATION\n\nPlease note that all of our events are free and open to all\, but you need to register!

SUMMARY:Llamado y Respuesta: ¿Quién escucha a César? | Call and Response: who listens to Cesar?
DESCRIPTION:Un evento del Laboratorio de Actos de Escucha y del Coro a la Escucha | A research-creation event by the Acts of Listening Lab and the Listening Choir. \nMay 17\, and 18\, 2024\, 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm (including light refreshments and talk back discussion) \n(In Spanish\, a written translation into English will be provided) \nWe use headphones verbatim (a documentary theatre technique) and choral singing to reconstruct moments of a hearing of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace set up in 2016 in Colombia as a war crimes tribunal to enable victims of war crimes to be heard and ex-rebels and other offenders to admit responsibility and contribute to repairing the damages caused. It focuses on the statements by Cesar Lasso\, a police officer who was held hostage for thirteen years\, five months and one day by the rebel group Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). \nYou are also invited to participate in a talk back to figure out who listens and what it takes to listen to each other in restorative terms. It is a collective exercise in listening for community building in post-conflict settings. If you accept the invitation\, be ready to participate with as little or as much involvement as you feel ready to contribute. We will implement a care protocol using singing and listening techniques. \n\nCoro a la Escucha is a pilot project exploring singing as a means of facilitating an acoustic space in which personal memories by people impacted by violence can be shared. \nThe Acts of Listening Lab (ALLab) is a hub for research-creation on the transformative power of listening in the context of oral history performance. It brings together artists-researchers\, communities\, and activists from across disciplines and cultures interested in exploring alternative and creative ways of making life stories matter in the public sphere. \n  \nREGISTRATION \nPlease confirm your presence by registering here: https://forms.office.com/r/iP5x3Mp5qi \n\n  \nCOHDS/ALLAB is located on unceded Kanien’kehá:ka territory\, in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal.

SUMMARY:Book launch of "mmm...Manitoba: The Stories Behind the Food We Eat"
DESCRIPTION:By Kimberley Moore & Janis Thiessen\, University of Winnipeg\n\nwith: Rhonda Hinther\, Jo McCutcheon\, Ian Mosby\nChairs | Présidence : Janis Thiessen and Kimberley Moore\n\nIn 2018\, Janis Thiessen (History\, University of Winnipeg) and Kimberley Moore and Kent Davies (Oral History Centre\, University of Winnipeg) refashioned a used food truck into a mobile oral history lab: the Manitoba Food History Truck. They travelled Manitoba together\, conducting and archiving oral histories about the province’s food with the people who make\, sell\, and eat it. They interviewed restaurant owners\, beer brewers\, grocers\, farmers\, scholars\, and chefs in their kitchens and businesses\, online\, and on board the truck. They conducted nearly seventy interviews and tasted everything from Winnipeg’s “Fat Boys” to Steinbach’s perogies to Churchill’s cloudberry jam.\n\nOne of the many public history outcomes of this oral history research is Mmm…Manitoba: The Stories Behind the Foods We Eat (Thiessen and Moore\, University of Manitoba Press\, 2024). An innovative combination of history\, recipes\, maps\, archival records\, biographies\, and full-colour photographs\, the book has a companion website featuring ArcGIS maps\, Story Maps\, and podcast episodes. Food history becomes a lens to examine the broader history of Manitoba and Canada: food security and regulation\, Indigenous foodways and agriculture\, capitalism’s impact on the agri-food industry\, the networks between food producers and retailers\, as well as gender\, ethnicity\, migration\, and colonialism.\n\nJanis Thiessen and Kimberley Moore will present an interactive roundtable on mmm…Manitoba\, featuring commentary by three major scholars in Canadian food\, labour\, Indigenous\, and public history: Rhonda Hinther\, Jo McCutcheon\, and Ian Mosby.\n\nBooks will be available for purchase at COHDS. We look forward to seeing you there!
