SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Oral History and Oral History Performance: Similarities and Differences
DESCRIPTION:*Please note that this event has been cancelled* \nwith professors Steven High and Luis Carlos Sotelo Castro in conversation with students of the Oral History Performance class (Department of Theatre). \nProfessors Steven High\, Barbara Lorenzkovski and Luis Carlos Sotelo Castro in conversation with students of the Oral History Performance class (Department of Theatre). \nIn this conversation\, we will discuss similarities and differences between oral history and oral history performance when preparing for an interview\, listening\, and doing an interview guide. The event’s main goal is to give practitioners in both fields tools to better craft questions and prepare for the interviews they will make for their project. \n\nLuis C. Sotelo Castro is an Associate Professor in the Department of Theatre at Concordia University\, Montreal (Quebec\, Canada). In 2018 he founded at COHDS the Acts of Listening Lab\, a hub for research-creation on the transformative power of listening to painful narratives\, with reference to testimonies by exiles from sites of conflict. His latest publications explore listening in the context of post-conflict performances of memory. \nSteven High is an interdisciplinary oral and public historian with a strong interest in transnational approaches to working-class studies\, forced migration\, community-engaged research\, as well as oral history methodology and ethics.  \nHe has published extensively on deindustrialization and the postindustrial transformation of North American cities. His most recent monograph\, Deindustrializing Montreal: Entangled Histories of Race\, Residence and Class (2022) was awarded three major prizes in Quebec History and Politics: le Prix du livre politique de la Présidence de l’Assemblée nationale du Québec\, le Prix Lionel-Groulx de l’IHAF\, and the Clio-Québec Book Prize from the Canadian Historical Association. He recently co-edited a special issue of Labour/le travail with Lachlan Mackinnon and has several others forthcoming. He is currently leading a seven-year SSHRC Partnership project on “Deindustrialization & the Politics of Our Time” (DePOT – deindustrialization.org).  \nHis second area of expertise involves oral history\, particularly as it relates to mass violence. Steven High led the prize-winning Montreal Life Stories from 2005 until 2012\, where he worked in close partnership with survivor groups. He authored or co-edited a number of books and articles out of this project. He was recently awarded a Governor General’s History Award for Popular Media for his work in this area \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: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: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:(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.

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. Une initiation à cette méthode sera proposée dans cet atelier au cours duquel une attention particulière sera portée au processus mise en carte de manière sensible. Elle sera suivie par une discussion (en français et en anglais).  \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\n\n

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. Stéphane Martelly est professeure en recherche-création et en littératures de la Caraïbe au Département des arts\, langues et littératures de l’Université de Sherbrooke. Elle assume depuis 2021 la co-direction du groupe de recherche VersUS\, laboratoire transculturel. \nAutrice\, éditrice et traductrice\, Chloé Savoie-Bernard a\, entre autres\, publié Des femmes savantes (Triptyque\, 2016)\, Sainte Chloé de l’amour (Hexagone\, 2021) et dirigé le collectif Corps (Triptyque\, 2018). À compter de l’automne 2022\, elle occupera un poste de professeure de littérature à l’Université Queen’s. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDÉTAILS\nEn français \nAvec Stephane Martelly et Chloé Savoie-Bernard \nEn personne \nINSCRIPTION\nVeuillez nous écrire à l’adresse cohds.chorn@concordia.ca pour vous inscrire.

DESCRIPTION:[Please note this is a two day event. It will be happening on April 7 from 16h00-20h00 and on April 8 from 10h00-20h00. You can visit the installation at any of those times.] \nDESCRIPTION\nFour participants and I\, Palestinians living in diaspora: Lebanon\, Jordan\, Norway and Canada… Why and how?Each one of us has a story to tell based on: diaspora and identity… belonging and attachment… Land and belief…The starting point for this collective endeavor is our feelings of nostalgia\, chaos\, and a collage of images from memory\, the memories of our grandparents and parents\, as well as our imagined individual and collective memories. 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. All the videos are in the Arabic language with English subtitles. \nWith the participation of: Ahmed Alaydi\, Fadia Khorbity\, Dareen Miliji and Rahma Mughrabi. \nاربع مشاركين وانا…. من فلسطين، نعيش في الشتات، في لبنان، الاردن، النروج وكندا…لماذا وكيف؟ لدى كل واحد منا حكاية يرويها حول الترحال والهوية، الانتماء والتعلق، الأرض والفكره ينطلق هذا العمل الجماعي مما نشعر به من حنين وفوضى وصور مركبة من الذاكرة، ذاكرة الاجداد والآباء وتلك المتخيلة الفردية والجماعية:فجاء السؤال يمتد من الذاكرة الي الخيالماذا يعني لك المكان او الوطن؟ولو لم تكن هناك حدود واستطعت أن تذهب الى فلسطين ليوم واحد فقط، أين ستذهب وماذا ستفعل؟ \nيأتي هذا المعرض الجماعي نتيجة البحث الذي تنفّذه لوسين سرحان كجزء من مشروع أطروحتها في ماجستير التعلّم من خلال الفنون في جامعة كونكورديا. كل الفيديوهات التي تُعرض خلاله هي باللغة العربية مع ترجمة بالانكليزي \nالمشاركين: أحمد العايدي، فاديه خربيطي، دارين ميليجي، رحمه مغربي \nTHE PRESENTER\nLucine Serhan ​is a Palestinian\, Lebanon-born artist\, reseracher and community art educator with a background in theater\, film\, and television production. She has collaborated on multiple creative oral history and storytelling projects with women refugees and youth. Lucine uses puppetry and storytelling as a social means of action to address identity\, displacement\, belonging\, and memory. She is a founder of ​beit byout​\, a cultural organization that integrates art with storytelling to explore the Arabic language and culture. \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\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\nIn English and Arabic \nIn Person \nWith Lucine Serhan \nLOCATION\nActs of Listening Lab \nConcordia University \nLibrary Building\, 10th Floor\, Room LB-1042.02 \n1400 de Maisonneuve Blvd W. \nMontreal\, QC\, Canada \nMORE INFORMATION\nIf you have any questions\, contact us at acts.listeninglab@concordia.ca.

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.

SUMMARY:Conversation: Ethics as a quest
DESCRIPTION:This is an open and non-formal conversation between Dr. Catherine Richardson and Zeina Ismail-Allouche that unsettles the concept of shared authority as a guaranteed pathway towards an ethical approach. The session will take the form of a sharing circle that invites participants to unpack their understanding of ethics while addressing representation and contextualization as proposed main constructs to ethics. We will address Indigenous Methodologies as a relational egalitarian approach that extends the concept of shared authority to include the world views\, the choice of the research question\, and the positionality of the researcher vis-vis the research question. \nREGISTRATION \n\nYou can register via Zoom by clicking here

These Indigenous Healers referred to as speakers engage in healing practices in the context of social work\, counselling\, talk therapy\, energy work\, and those who heal through modalities of music\, rhythm\, sound\, and song. They will offer teachings in their epistemological and cosmological approaches to their work and will inform an audience in areas of First Peoples Studies\, Counselling\, Social Work\, Health Professionals\, Sociological and Psychological scholars\, and community members. \nREGISTRATION \nIn order to accommodate social distancing\, all of COHDS/ALLab events will be held online.

SUMMARY:Cartographier l'histoire orale de Kigali à Montréal / festival d’histoire de Montréal
DESCRIPTION:Avec Sébastien Caquard & Lisa Ndejuru \nCentre d’Histoire Orale et de Récits Numérisés // Université Concordia \nLe projet de cartographie des récits de vie d’exilés Rwandais mené à l’université Concordia – en collaboration avec l’université Carleton et l’association Page-Rwanda – combine l’histoire orale et la cartographie numérique pour nous emmener de Kigali à Montréal en passant par Bujumbura\, Bukavu\, Louvain ou Ottawa. Plus qu’un voyage géographique\, ces cartes originales et interactives nous invitent à écouter ces récits riches et inspirants dans lesquels se mêlent des souvenirs d’enfance\, de famille\, d’amitié\, d’exile et de génocide. Ces cartes nous laissent entrevoir la manière dont ces exilés parlent des lieux qu’ils ont quittés et le regard qu’ils portent sur ceux où ils vivent désormais. \nRegister in advance for this meeting: https://concordia-ca.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcrf-2rqzssE9X9Jjkh9hQRFbME7l5icloj
