IMAGE & IMAGERY Im/migrant passages: Crossing Visual, Spatial and Textual Boundaries

Call for contributions to an e-book.

To emigrate is to leave, to immigrate is to arrive and stay, to migrate is to move, often as a result of forced displacement. Most emigrants, immigrants, migrants and/or refugees frequently face difficult, if not heartbreaking decisions when they decide they must settle elsewhere. According to the latest UNHCR estimates, 65.6 million people have been forcibly displaced worldwide by war, poverty, and/or climate change. Many live(d) in refugee/migrant camps where they often face(d) inhumane conditions, discrimination, violence, and racism, while others spend/spent most of their lives in transit camps.

We are inviting scholars and artists to reflect on the im/migrant experience and examine the perspective of the displaced as illustrated/expressed in literatures and/or the arts.  Selected contributions will be published by The Small Walker Press, Centre for Studies in Arts and Culture, Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts in the form of an e-book (https://brocku.ca/miwsfpa/stac/small-walker-press-publications-2019-20/ ).

//////

This special issue of Performing Ethos takes as its theme ‘Theatre and Migration between Ethics and Aesthetics’. The journal issue is informed by the work of Migrant Dramaturgies Network, an international research network that explores emerging dramaturgies of theatrical responses to migration in light of recent migration and shifts in global politics and economics. MDNetwork aims to map new theatrical forms of migrant representation and identify their impacts on national theatre cultures in shaping the perception of non-European migrants and migrant cultures. For more information please see: https://migrantdramaturgies.tumblr.com/

We wish to open this issue to contributions beyond our network board and would like to encourage submissions that deal directly with the interferences between ethical and creative/ aesthetic practices of staging and performing migration, refugedom and asylum in a contemporary context. Please note that there is a limited amount of space available for scholarly articles and intervention pieces in this issue!

Il Dipartimento propone, sulla scorta del Progetto Strategico di Ateneo CAPUT – Filmare le Arti http://www.unifimagazine.it/filmare-le-arti-progetto-caput/ e del Piano di Eccellenza Eredità culturali https://www.sagas.unifi.it/ la prima edizione del progetto di ricerca “Filmare l’alterità. Concorso e archiviazione di immagini migranti nel paesaggio urbano fiorentino“. E’ una iniziativa, in collaborazione con Oxfam Italia, dedicata ad artisti under35.

L’iniziativa, oltre a prevedere laboratori e concorsi per migranti volti alla produzione e archiviazione di contenuti audiovisuali sul paesaggio urbano e delle periferie, ha l’obiettivo di “di definire un assetto teorico in grado di analizzare i materiali e definirne la collocazione all’interno dell’ecosistema mediale, tracciando linee guida per eventuali esperienze analoghe”.

Per tale motivo l’Università degli Studi di Firenze organizza un convegno di studi dal titolo “Filmare l’Alterità, filmare il paesaggio urbano come esperienza multi-culturale e multi-identitaria”. “Nel corso di tale incontro si tenterà di indagare il rapporto tra produzione audiovisiva e paesaggio, per comprendere la diversità delle modalità con le quali i membri della comunità locale convivono e condividono lo spazio urbano, soprattutto periferico”.

Il convegno, cura di Cristina Jandelli e Raffaele Pavoni, si terrà a Firenze dal 21 al 22 gennaio 2019. Per tale convegno è aperta una call: le proposte dovranno pervenire entro il 15 novembre al seguente indirizzo: segreteria@filmarelalterita.it

Memory, Migration & Movement. Parigi 7-8 dicembre 2018. Call for papers di PoP.

dalla Redazione

Segnaliamo la call di un interessante convegno che si svolgerà il prossimo dicembre a Parigi. PoP [Performances of the Popular] MOVES, in partnership con l’Université de Paris Nanterre e La Colonie, ha da poco aperto la selezione di paper e articoli per la conferenza.

Riportiamo qui la call, rimandando al sito per ulteriori dettagli.

 

The international research group for performances of the popular continues to advance the field by creating a new committee in France, to foster conversations and sharing
between scholars, artists and institutions across linguistic worlds. To celebrate this
expansion, PoP MOVES will hold a joint launch event and conference in Paris, to explore
relationships between memory, migration and movement.

Migration is by definition an act of movement. The geopolitical movements of migration
continue to resonate in the bodies of migrants, and these reverberations are sometimes
manifested through popular dance. Migration entails ruptures and reconfigurations of
memory both for migrants themselves and for those who accommodate their arrival. This conference seeks to tease out the threads and tensions between memory, migration and movement within one of the [sub]urban spaces of their everyday unfolding.
