SUMMARY:CIT.I.ZEN.SHIP: REFLECTIONS ON RIGHTS
DESCRIPTION:October 4\, 2018 – January 18\, 2019\nDepartment of Photography & Imaging Galleries\nNYU Tisch School of the Arts\n721 Broadway Lobby & 8th floor\n\nLorie Novak and Deborah Willis\, Ph.D.\, curators\nRiana Gideon\, assistant curator\n  \nTo accept one’s past — one’s history is not the same thing as drowning in it; it is learning how to use it. An invented past can never be used; it cracks and crumbles under the pressures of life like clay in a season of drought.  –James Baldwin\, The Fire Next Time \n  \nThe Department of Photography & Imaging at NYU Tisch School of the Arts in collaboration with For Freedoms’ 50 State Initiative presents cit.i.zen.ship: reflections on rights\, an exhibition featuring photographs\, works on paper\, writings\, and video that reflect on human rights and notions of citizenship. The theme of the exhibition reminds us that our actions today will affect the future\, just as the actions of courageous individuals during the Civil Rights Movement changed the world. Conceptually and characteristically\, each of the artists uses different symbolic references to visually represent definable issues surrounding civil rights\, resistance\, immigration\, race\, class\, gentrification\, gender equality\, LGBTQ+ rights\, prison reform\, freedom of speech\, environmental issues\, and more. They use documentation\, process\, history\, and personal experience to engage the politics of this nation and pave the way for future narratives. \nThis exhibition is part of For Freedoms’ 50 State Initiative\, a non-partisan\, nationwide campaign to use art as a means of inspiring civic participation in advance of the 2018 midterm elections. For Freedoms was founded by artists in 2016 as a platform for civic engagement\, discourse\, and direct action in the United States. Inspired by Norman Rockwell’s 1943 paintings of the four universal freedoms articulated by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1941—freedom of speech\, freedom of worship\, freedom from want\, and freedom from fear—For Freedoms uses art to deepen public discussions of civic issues and core values\, and to clarify that citizenship in American society is dependent on participation\, not ideology. \nThe artwork included in this exhibition shares For Freedoms’ conviction that people shape the cultural systems that shape their lives—from politics to art\, from advertising to civic life. We believe that citizenship is defined by the creative use of one’s voice\, one’s body\, one’s mind\, and\, ultimately\, one’s vote. The 50 State Initiative is the largest creative collaboration in the history of this country\, and we want everyone to get involved. For Freedoms’ 200+ institutional partners are bringing together artists and community leaders across the country through exhibitions\, town hall meetings\, and public billboard projects. These collective activities inject creativity\, critical thinking\, and an uplifted multiplicity of voices into our public conversation. Together\, we can blur the line between artistic and political discourse to create an open and nuanced national dialogue in a partisan climate. \nArtists\nJack Adam • Aaron Adams • Gregory Michael Alders • Bridgette Auger/Itab Azzam • Perry Bard/Richard Sullivan • Laylah Amatullah Barrayn • Alexandra Bell • Cydney Blitzer • Terry E.

Inspired by American artist Norman Rockwell’s paintings of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms (1941)—freedom of speech\, freedom of worship\, freedom from want\, and freedom from fear— For Freedoms Federation uses art to encourage and deepen public explorations of freedom in the 21st century. Founded by Hank Willis Thomas and Eric Gottesman\, For Freedoms Federation encourages new forms of critical discourse. The mission is to use art as a vehicle to build greater participation in American Democracy.

SUMMARY:ALUFA RUFINO\, A MAN OF FAITH AND SORCERY ON THE PERIPHERY OF ISLAM
DESCRIPTION:CLACS and the History Department at NYU will be hosting a presentation by Brazilian historian João José Reis titled “Alufa Rufino\, A Man of Faith and Sorcery on the Periphery of Islam.” \nBrazil\, and particularly Bahia\, was arguably the destination of most African Muslims deported from West Africa to the Americas on board slave ships during the first half of the nineteenth century. They were mainly Hausas\, Nupes\, and Yorubas who\, once in Brazil\, were involved in several slave revolts. This is a well-known story. What is less well-known is that parallel to this militant Islam\, there were other\, more accommodationist forms of Islam that also flourished among African slaves and freed people in Brazil. This lecture is about a man who represented  this form of Islam. A devout Muslim\, Abuncare (a.k.a\, Rufino José Maria) nonetheless dedicated himself to divination and other unorthodox practices that he learned in Africa and either reproduced in Brazil or adapted to Brazilian belief systems. \n  \nAbout the speaker: \n  \nJoão José Reis received his PhD in History from the University of Minnesota and is currently a Professor of History at the Universidade Federal de Bahia (UFBA) in Brazil. He is the author of Slave Rebellion in Brazil: The Muslim Uprising of 1835 in Bahia and Death is a Festival: Funeral Rites and Popular Rebellion in Nineteenth-Century Brazil\, which earned the 1996 Clarence H. Haring Prize from the American Historical Association and the 1992 Jabuti Prize for nonfiction from the Brazilian Book Council. From 1996 to 2004\, he served as editor for the Afro-Ásia journal published by UFBA’s Centro de Estudos Afro-Orientais. He has been a Visiting Scholar at the University of London and the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University\, as well as a Visiting Professor at the University of London\, Princeton University\, University of Michigan and Brandeis University. In 2004\, he was awarded the Comenda da Ordem Nacional do Mérito Científico by the Brazilian Government. While at Harvard during the spring semester\, he taught in the Department of History and presented several public lectures including Divining Slavery and Other Diseases: An African Priest in Nineteenth Century Brazil and Social Mobility among Slaves in Bahia\, Brazil: The Case of Manoel Ricardo. \n

SUMMARY:Book Talk: "The Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Harem" Jane Hathaway
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nEunuchs were a common feature of pre- and early modern societies that are now poorly understood. Here\, Jane Hathaway offers an in-depth study of the chief of the African eunuchs who guarded the harem of the Ottoman Empire. A wide range of primary sources are used to analyze the Chief Eunuch’s origins in East Africa and his political\, economic\, and religious role from the inception of his office in the late sixteenth century through the dismantling of the palace harem in the early twentieth century. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHathaway highlights the origins of the institution and how the role of eunuchs developed in East Africa as well as exploring the Chief Eunuchs connections to Egypt and Medina. By tracing the evolution of the office\, we see how the Chief Eunuch’s functions changed in response to transformations in Ottoman society\, from the generalized crisis of the seventeenth century to the westernizing reforms of the nineteenth century.\n\nJane Hathaway (Arts & Sciences Distinguished Professor of History\, Ohio State University) is a specialist of the Ottoman empire. Her research has focused on the empire’s Arab provinces\, particularly Egypt and Yemen. She has recently been working on the Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Imperial Harem. She received her Ph.D. from Princeton’s’ Near Eastern Studies Department in 1992. She is the author of The Politics of Household in Ottoman Egypt: The Rise of the Qazdaglis (Cambridge\, 1997)\, A Tale of Two Factions: Myth\, Memory\, and Identity in Ottoman Egypt and Yemen(SUNY Press\, 2003)\, Beshir Agha\, Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Harem (Oneworld\, 2006)\, The Arab Lands under Ottoman Rule\, 1516-1800 (Pearson/Longman\, 2008)\, and The Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Harem: From African Slave to Power-Broker (Cambridge\, 2018). \n\nThis book talk will also feature discussant Leslie Peirce (Emeritus\, NYU)\, whose writing and teaching focus on the Ottoman empire\, with an emphasis on the early modern period. Her first book explored the shifting nature of imperial politics by placing the palace harem at the center of inquiry. Other topics Peirce has written about include honor and sexuality\, provincial politics\, abduction and captivity\, and slavery and household formation. She recently published a biographical account of Hurrem\, the concubine and then wife to Suleyman I the Magnificent. \nCheck out the Facebook event here. \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by Ottoman & Turkish Studies (OTS) at NYU.

SUMMARY:Latin America's 1968 - Marta Minuj´ín
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Latin America’s 1968 Colloquium series\, New York University’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS)\, Department of Spanish and Portuguese\, The Hemisphiric Institute of Performance and Politics\, and The Institute of Fine Arts (IFA)\, are proud to present a conversation with internationally acclaimed Argentine performance and conceptual artist Marta Minujín and IFA’s Deputy Director Edward Sullivan. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Ticket holders receive priority seating. \nAbout the speakers: \nMarta Minujín is an internationally acclaimed Argentine performance and conceptual artist whose career has helped define the role of participation\, performance\, and media in contemporary visual art. Minujín created her first “ephemeral” works in the 1960s in Paris and New York\, where she and became an innovator of pop art\, happenings\, soft sculpture\, and early video. Her celebrated La Menesunda (1965) created a sequence of 16 multi-sensory “situations” or environments for spectators to traverse; these included a beauty parlor\, a couple in bed\, and a shower of a confetti in an octagonal mirror chamber. Her 1967 Minuphone created an interactive “psychedelic” telephone booth in which voice triggered sensory changes in light\, image\, and sound. In May 1968—at the height of the cultural and political ferment of global 1968—Minujín hosted a series of soirèes/happenings with luminaries of fashion\, art\, finance\, and politics at Manhattan’s Center for Inter-American Relations (now Americas Society); the documentation became the basis of an immersive film installation\, known as Minucode\, which advanced a subtle critique of the role of “cultural” diplomacy needed to carry out the US cold war in Latin America. While in New York she participated in activities at Andy Warhol’s Factory\, and in the 1980s\, created a performance in which she offered Warhol a corn on the cob as a way of paying off Argentina’s foreign debt. She is perhaps best known for the 1983 piece The Parthenon of Books\, a large-scale replica of a Greek parthenon built on Buenos Aires’s main avenue\, comprised of 30\,000 books banned by the military regime during Argentina’s “Dirty War\,” including works by Marx\, Freud\, and Foucault. Spectators were then invited to dismantle work. She has continued to create works that combine ephemeral materials with monumental scale\, including Tower of Babel (2011)\, Agora of Peace (2013)\, and Hopscotch Art (2014). She lives and works in Buenos Aires. \nEdward J. Sullivan is the Helen Gould Sheppard Professor in the History of Art and the Deputy Director of the Institute of Fine Arts New York University. He has developed extensive research and curated several shows on the arts and visual cultures of the Americas from a transnational perspective\, with a particular concentration in Mexico\, Cuba\, Brazil\, Argentina\, Puerto Rico\, and Uruguay. Edward is the author of From San Juan to Paris and Back: Francisco Oller and Caribbean Art in the Era of Impressionism\, published by Yale University Press in 2014\, and The Language of Objects in the Art of the Americas\, published also by Yale in 2007\, among many other books and catalogs. \nSullivan’s latest book is entitled “Making the Americas Modern. Hemispheric Art 1910-1960” published this past March. He is currently curating a major exhibition of the Brazilian garden architect and painter Roberto Burle-Marx that opens in June next year at the New York Botanical Garden. His next book project concerns the relationships between artists and choreographers in the US and Latin America in the mid twentieth century. \nAbout the series: \nLatin America’s 1968; Curated by Jill Lane & Dylon Robbins. \nIn Latin America\, the year 1968 marked a turning point in the social\, political\, and cultural transformations that had been unfolding in the wide wake of the Cuban Revolution of 1959. For Latin America\, as for the rest of the world\, the sixties were shaped by geopolitics of the Cold War\, and of anti-colonial struggles across the globe. Yet they are most remembered by those who lived them as a time when ordinary people felt\, like never before and perhaps never after\, that they could change the course of history: millions of youth in student movements\, advocates for indigenous rights\, workers\, campesinos\, educators\, intellectuals\, and artists\, long with guerillas and other armed insurgents\, were self-aware in world-historical projects of radical social\, political\, economic\, and cultural change. In these years\, the personal became the political\, politics became theatrical\, theatre became a weapon\, and the lines between self\, art\, and politics were forever redrawn. To mark the 50th anniversary of this momentous year\, the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) offers a film and lecture series that will explore and celebrate its significance in the region. \nImage: Marta Minujin | by Martin Lucesole | Flickr

SUMMARY:Lecture: Afro-Arab Relations: From the Common Struggle to the "New Scramble"
DESCRIPTION:Lecture with Rawia Tawfik\n  \nAbstract:\nIn the mid-twentieth century\, Arab and African countries waged a common struggle against colonialism and racial segregation. Arabs supported the liberation of African colonies and the isolation of apartheid South Africa. In their turn\, newly independent African countries showed solidarity with Arabs in their conflict against Israel. With international and regional transformations at the end of the century this collective mobilization for united action had faded away.  In the last decade\, Arab regional powers\, especially Gulf monarchies\, are making a strong comeback to the continent. From investing in various economic sectors to brokering peace between rival countries in the Horn of Africa\, Gulf countries are heavily investing in seizing the economic opportunities in the rising continent and bringing stability to their turbulent Eastern neighbors. This lecture traces the continuities and changes in Afro-Arab relations in the last six decades. It maps the actors\, interests and policies that shape the unfolding alliances and rivalries between and within the two regions. It questions whether the renewed interest of Arab regional powers in Africa is an asset for Africa’s peace and development or part and parcel of the ‘new scramble’ for Africa’s political and economic resources.\n  \nRawia Tawfik is an assistant professor at the Faculty of Economics and Political Science at Cairo University. She holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Politics from the University of Oxford and a Master of Science in Politics from Cairo University. Her research interests include issues surrounding African development and regional integration\, Nile hydro-politics\, and the foreign policy of regional powers in Africa. She was a visiting research fellow at the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA)\, and the Africa Institute of South Africa (AISA) and a researcher at the German Development Institute/Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE). She received a number of prestigious awards and research grants\, including the individual research grant of the African Peacebuilding Network in 2017\, and the Presidential Fellowship of the African Studies Association.\n

SUMMARY:Gallatin Coffeehouse on the #METOO Movement
DESCRIPTION:Join Gallatin faculty\, students\, and alumni for a discussion of #MeToo\, its consequences\, and the complexities of organizing for social change in which sexuality\, gender\, race\, class\, and access to political and economic power matter. Josy Jablons(BA ’17)\, Annie Felix (BA ’19)\, and Gallatin faculty members Sharon Friedman\,Rosanne Kennedy\, Ritty Lukose\, and Sara Murphy will speak; George Shulmanwill moderate. \nThe #MeToo Movement was begun by African American civil rights activist Tarana Burke in 2006\, in the name of women who had survived violence\, with a focus on low-income women of color. The Movement gained momentum when movie producer Harvey Weinstein was accused of sexual assault by women in Hollywood. Since then women from many industries and positions in the workplace\, have come forward to tell their stories of sexual harassment\, intimidation\, and assault. Others have elided traditional boundaries between the private and public spheres and have told their stories of sexual harassment. In response\, powerful and influential men have resigned\, been fired\, withdrawn from public life. Some have suffered no consequences at all. \nAll who attend are asked to respect the privacy and confidentiality of those who share.

SUMMARY:Indocumentales-En el Séptimo día/On The Seventh Day
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at New York University (CLACS)\, Cinema Tropical\, and the World Council of Peoples for the United Nations / What Moves You?\, are proud to announce the official re-launch of INDOCUMENTALES – a film and conversation series committed to exploring the multiplicity of Latin American migrant experiences in our country through compassionate representation and critical dialogue. \nINDOCUMENTALES began in May of 2010 as Indocumentales: the US/Mexico Interdependent Film Series with screenings and panel discussions at New York University’s King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center and other venues throughout the five boroughs including the Americas Society and Cervantes Institute in Midtown Manhattan\, the Dwyer Cultural Center in Harlem\, the Casita Maria Center for the Arts in the Bronx\, the Beacon Center for the Arts in Bushwick\, Brooklyn\, and the Queens Museum in Corona\, New York. It since traveled across the U.S.\, as well as to Mexico and Canada\, engaging diverse communities in reflecting on their relationship to the questions posed in the films. \nFor the fall of 2018 re-launch\, INDOCUMENTALES is returning to its origins in New York City with two films that focus on immigrant experiences in this city. We are proud to present David Riker’s critically-acclaimed film La Ciudad (1998) followed by Jim McKay’s most recent feature En El Séptimo Día (2018). Twenty years between their releases\, the films nevertheless employ similar narrative structures and production models: both are filmed on location in New York\, in Spanish\, with majority non-professional actors. Moreover\, both films\, through contrasting but complimentary styles\, speak to the struggle of newly-arrived Latin American migrants for survival\, respect\, and meaning in unfamiliar territories. \nThe series is free and open to the public. All screenings are followed by panel discussions meant to bring together filmmakers\, scholars\, activists\, policy makers\, and community representatives concerned with the fortification of immigrant rights. \n____________________________________________________________________________ \n\nEN EL SEPTIMO DIA (Jim McKay\, USA\, 2018\, 92 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) \nEn el Séptimo Día is a fiction feature following a group of undocumented immigrants living in Sunset Park\, Brooklyn over the course of seven days. Bicycle delivery guys\, construction workers\, dishwashers\, deli workers\, and cotton candy vendors\, they work long hours six days a week and then savor their day of rest on Sundays on the soccer fields of Sunset Park. José\, a bicycle delivery worker\, is the team’s captain – young\, talented\, hardworking and responsible. When José’s team makes it to the finals\, he and his teammates are thrilled. But his boss throws a wrench into the celebration when he tells José he has to work on Sunday\, the day of the finals. José tries to reason with his boss or replace himself\, but his efforts fail. If he doesn’t work on Sunday\, his job and his future will be on the line. But if he doesn’t stand up for himself and his teammates\, his dignity will be crushed. Shot in the neighborhoods of Sunset Park\, Park Slope\, and Gowanus\, En el Séptimo Día is a humane\, sensitive\, and humorous window into a world rarely seen. The film’s impact is made quietly\, with restraint and respect for the individual experiences\, everyday challenges\, and small triumphs of its characters. \n\nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYg3mAJTWSE \n\nAbout the Director: \nJim McKay (Writer/Director/Producer) is a filmmaker and co-founder\, along with Michael Stipe\, of C-Hundred Film Corp. He has produced and directed a feature-length documentary\, Lighthearted Nation; a feature-length concert film\, R.E.M.’s Tourfilm; numerous music videos and an award-winning series of public service announcements called Direct Effect.

The film was released in 1996 in the U.S. by October Films. His second feature as a director was Our Song (1999)\, which premiered at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival\, played at New Directors/New Films in 2000\, and was distributed theatrically in the U.S. by IFC Films.

SUMMARY:Russia Without Putin Money\, Power and the Myths of the New Cold War- A Book Talk with Tony Wood
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, December 11th please join us for “Russia Without Putin Money\, Power and the Myths of the New Cold War- A Book Talk with Tony Wood”. \nIt is impossible to think of Russia today without thinking of Vladimir Putin. More than any other major national leader\, he personifies his country in the eyes of the world\, and dominates Western media coverage. In Russia itself\, he is likewise the centre of attention both for his supporters and his detractors. But\, as Tony Wood argues\, this focus on Russia’s president gets in the way of any real understanding of the country. The West needs to shake off its obsession with Putin and look beyond the Kremlin walls. \nIn this timely and provocative analysis\, Wood explores the profound changes Russia has undergone since 1991. In the process\, he challenges several common assumptions made about contemporary Russia. Against the idea that Putin represents a return to Soviet authoritarianism\, Wood argues that his rule should be seen as a continuation of Yeltsin’s in the 1990s. The core features of Putinism — a predatory elite presiding over a vastly unequal society — are in fact integral to the system set in place after the fall of Communism. \nWood also overturns the standard view of Russia’s foreign policy\, identifying the fundamental loss of power and influence that has underpinned recent clashes with the West. Russia without Putin concludes by assessing the current regime’s prospects\, and looks ahead to what the future may hold for the country as a whole. \nTony Wood is in the PhD program in Latin American History at NYU. He is previously the author of Chechnya: The Case for Independence (2007)\, and his writing has appeared in theLondon Review of Books\, The Guardian\, n+1 and The Nation\, among other places.

SUMMARY:Order Without Design: How Markets Shape Cities
DESCRIPTION:Overview:\nJoin us on Tuesday\, December 11 at 5:30pm for the launch of Alain Bertaud’s new book from MIT Press\, Order without Design: How Markets Shape Cities. In it\, Bertaud argues that operational urban planning can be improved by the application of the tools of urban economics to the design of regulations and infrastructure. Drawing on five decades of urban planning experience in forty cities around the world\, Bertaud links cities’ productivity to the size of their labor markets; argues that the design of infrastructure and markets can complement each other; examines the spatial distribution of land prices and densities; stresses the importance of mobility and affordability; and critiques the land use regulations in a number of cities that aim at redesigning existing cities instead of just trying to alleviate clear negative externalities. Bertaud concludes by describing the new role that joint teams of urban planners and economists could play to improve the way cities are managed. \nEvent Program:\nProfessor William Easterly\, Co-Director of NYU’s Development Research Institute\, will provide an opening commentary on the book. Bertaud will then sit down for a discussion of the book with Weiping Wu\, Professor of Urban Planning and Director of the M.S. in Urban Planning program at Columbia’s Graduate School of Architecture\, Planning\, and Preservation\, before fielding questions from the audience. Books will be available for sale and signature.

SUMMARY:Bakosó
DESCRIPTION:What does “Está Rico” by Marc Anthony\, Will Smith & Bad Bunny have in common with “Made For Now” by Janet Jackson x Daddy Yankee? They both high-jacked AfroBeats and did not give the genre’s origin props. Bakosó is a film that does the opposite\, following DJ Jigüe on a journey to his hometown of Santiago de Cuba as he explores Cuba’s manifestation of the global AfroBeats hype\, “bakosó”\, to discover where the roots of the genre come from. We know there is deep-rooted African influence in Cuba\, but bakosó itself is beautiful proof that the exchange did not end with the Transatlantic slave trade.

SUMMARY:Migration as Survival in the Era of Climate Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU. Co-sponsored by the NYU Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies and the Department of Art & Public Policy\, NYU Tisch School of the Arts.\n \nRising sea levels\, drought\, food insecurity\, intensified hurricanes\, and wildfires are some of the many markers of the exacerbating climate crisis. Despite the clear and present danger of climate change\, governments are failing to take the action needed to stave off its worst effects. Meanwhile\, tens of millions of people\, primarily from poor communities and the Global South\, are displaced by climate impacts every year only to be met by rising xenophobia\, anti-migrant sentiment\, and militarized borders. This panel brings together journalists\, activists\, frontline organizers\, academics\, and artists to discuss the inextricable links between migration and climate catastrophe. We consider what an intersectional movement for migrant rights and climate justice could look like\, the threat posed by right-wing populist governments to the rights of migrants\, and the role of arts and culture in creating bold visions for a just future. \nFeaturing Oscar A. Chacón (Executive Director\, Alianza Americas)\, Oliver Milman (Reporter\, The Guardian)\, Tiara R. Na’puti (Assistant Professor\, University of Colorado Boulder)\, and Ninaj Raoul (Executive Director\, Haitian Women for Haitian Refugees). Curated and moderated by Thanushka (Thanu) Yakupitiyage\, the A/P/A Institute at NYU 2018-19 Artist-in-Residence. \nThis venue is on the first floor and is accessible for wheelchair users. Restrooms (which are gender-segregated) are accessible via elevator. If you have any questions or need any accommodations\, please email apa.rsvp@nyu.edu. \nOscar A. Chacón is a co‐founder and executive director of Alianza Americas\, a Chicago-based national network of Latin American immigrant‐led and immigrant serving organizations in the US. Chacón is an immigrant from El Salvador. He has been an organizer and a leader on community justice issues at the local\, national\, and international levels for over thirty years. He has occupied leadership positions in multiple organizations including Oxfam America\, Centro Presente\, the Northern California Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights\, and Heartland Alliance for Human Needs and Human Rights. Chacón is a frequent spokesperson\, domestically and internationally\, on economic\, social\, political\, and cultural issues affecting Latin American immigrant communities\, including the nexus between human mobility\, economic inequality\, white supremacy\, and racial justice. Alianza Americas mission is to improve the quality of life of Latin American immigrant communities in the US\, as well as of peoples throughout the Americas. \nOliver Milman is the environment correspondent for Guardian US\, based in New York. He regularly reports on how climate change is altering the natural world\, with a particular focus on the communities most vulnerable to these consequences. Before coming to the US\, he covered the environment for the Guardian in Australia. His role has taken him to the melting Alaskan Arctic\, the wildfire-scorched northern California\, the magnificent yet ailing Great Barrier Reef\, and people living in the shadow of the petrochemical industry in Texas. Originally from the UK\, Millman has previously covered business and politics for a range of print and online publications. \nTiara R. Na’puti (Chamoru) is assistant professor in the Department of Communication at University of Colorado Boulder with faculty affiliations in the Center for Communication and Democratic Engagement (CDE) and the Center for Native American Indigenous Studies (CNAIS). Her scholarship and activism addresses colonization\, militarization\, Indigenous social movements\, and Indigenous cultural discourses—particularly throughout Oceania. She is currently working on a book project that examines the US military buildup plans for the Mariana Islands archipelago and how military aggression fuels the dangerous impacts of climate change. This work examines the communicative dimensions of resistance and connections among Indigenous-led struggles to protect sacred water and land from militarization and extractive industries. \nNinaj Raoul is a co-founder and community organizer at Haitian Women for Haitian Refugees (HWHR) in New York\, an organization founded in 1992 to respond to the human needs of Haitian refugees and immigrants in the US fleeing persecution. Through education\, community organizing\, leadership development\, and collective action\, HWHR members empower themselves as they struggle for social and economic justice. Raoul is a Petra Foundation Fellow\, and a recipient of the Union Square Awards\, National Organization of Woman – Susan B. Anthony Award\, and Dr. Antonia Pantoja Bilingual Advocacy Award. She continues to mobilize her community to deliver services\, organize disaster relief efforts\, and fight for workers’ rights. She travels to and from Haiti\, where HWHR has provided solidarity support to women-run organizations that respond to manmade and natural disasters. Raoul seeks to raise awareness of the detrimental effects of the US agricultural subsidy programs that dump excess crop in Haiti\, as well as other root causes of migration. \nThanushka (Thanu) Yakupitiyage is a long-time immigrant rights activist\, media professional\, cultural organizer\, and multidisciplinary artist/DJ based in New York City. For close to seven years\, she worked for the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC)\, where she headed the organization’s communications and media relations strategy. Through her work at NYIC\, she became an immigration policy expert\, using her skills in media and communications to shift narratives on immigration and immigrants themselves. She was a lead organizer in recent efforts to push back against Trump’s first executive orders that mandated a Muslim Ban\, and increased enforcement and raids against immigrant communities. Most recently\, she has taken on the role of leading US communications for 350.org and bringing a migration perspective to the critical work of climate justice. As a cultural organizer and DJ under the name Ushka\, she has performed across North America and she uses her artistry to create intentional community spaces for queer and immigrant people of color. Yakupitiyage holds an MA in communications from the University of Massachusetts Amherst\, and a BA in critical media studies and international development from Hampshire College. She is the 2018-19 Artist-in-Residence at the A/P/A Institute at NYU.\nPhoto by Brooke Anderson\, Survival Media Agency (provided by 350.org).

SUMMARY:SCREENING – SPEAK UP (OUVRIR LA VOIX)
DESCRIPTION:With director Amandine Gay in conversation with art historian Sandrine Colard and poet/scholar Sylvie Kandé as respondent. In this installation of the 21st Century/New African and African Diaspora Writings and Arts Series\, women of African descent in France and Belgium converse about what it means to be a woman today and belong to the Afro community in the documentary film Speak Up (Ouvrir la voix) (2017\, 122 min.). By sharing their experiences and aspirations for the future\, they speak up and take control again of their own representation. \n  \n \nAmandine Gay is a political author. Following her graduation from the Institute of Political Studies in Lyon\, France in 2007 with a masters in communication\, Amandine joined the Conservatory of Dramatic Art in Paris 16 and began performing in theatre and television. Since 2012\, she has also been working as a screenwriter and contributing as a freelance journalist for Slate.fr. \nIn 2014 she took on directing with a reportage on the #BoycottExhibitB demonstrations\, and that same year\, she started working on her documentary\, SPEAK UP\, a feature-length about francophone Black women. Most recently\, Amandine authored the preface of the first French translation of bell hooks’ seminal\, Ain’t I A Woman. She is currently living in Montreal\, completing her second master’s degree in sociology\, focusing on transracial adoption. \nShe is a director\, writer\, freelance journalist and speaker. She is regularly asked to speak about Afro-feminism\, intersectionality and adoption at events such as the Toronto and Winnipeg Spur Festival. Students were able to hear her at the University of Edinburgh\, Université du Québec à Montréal\, University of Ottawa\, University of Lausanne\, Université Lumière Lyon 2\, École de Recherche Graphique in Brussels\, and the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris and others. \nDIRECTOR’S NOTE \nSPEAK UP is born out of my desire to occupy public space and to explain why the intersection of discriminations faced by Black women in France and Belgium is as problematic as it is political. \nSPEAK UP is my response to the need for Black francophone women to reclaim the narrative since we are too often silenced or presented as passive victims. This is also a celebration of our diversity as Afro-descendants: Black women born in France and Belgium\, or elsewhere\, from French\, Belgian or immigrant parents\, from all kinds of paths\, faiths\, sexual orientation\, etc. \nSPEAK UP is a political portrait of Black women in francophone Europe\, revealing the complexity and diversity of our lives and identities. Beyond personal anecdotes lie the political issues that Black women have to face. That’s the reason why I chose the form of a conversation through intertwined narratives so that my experience could be nuanced and enriched by that of other Black women. \nSPEAK UP is my way of celebrating the history of Black women resistance\, who\, since marooning\, through creolity\, pan-Africanism\, negritude and Afro-feminism have always invented tools enabling them not to be silenced. This is for those who fought before us and a testimony to those who will come after us. \n ―Amandine GAY \n\n Sandrine Colard is Assistant Professor of African Art History at Rutgers University-Newark. She holds a Ph.D. in art history from Columbia University\, and a M.A. in Africana Studies from New York University. Prior to joining Rutgers-Newark\, she was a post-doctoral fellow at the Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art  (INHA\, Paris\, France) and a Provost Post-doctoral Fellow at the NYU Tisch School of the Arts. Dr. Colard is a historian of modern and contemporary African arts and photography\, with a focus on Central Africa. Her scholarly interests include post-colonialism in the arts\,  portraiture\, vernacular photograph\, the representation of gender and domesticity\, and the globalization of the contemporary art scene. Dr. Colard is an international lecturer (Concordia University\, EHESS\, Wiels\, Bozar\, European Parliament) and the author of multiple publications (African Arts\, Critical Interventions\, L’Art Même\, Cahiers du CAP\, Cultures et Musées). Her writings include contributions to exhibition catalogs such as Sammy Baloji: Hunting and Collecting. A Research Project (Mu.ZEE\, Ostend\, 2016)\, and The Expanded Subject: New Perspectives in Photographic Portraiture from Africa (Hirmer\, 2016)\, for which she was co-curator at the Wallach Art Gallery (New York\, 2016).  Her research has been supported by numerous fellowships\, among which that of the quai Branly Museum. Based on research conducted in Belgium\, Kinshasa and Lubumbashi (DRC)\, her current book project examines the history of photography in the colonial Congo (1885-1960). \n\n\nSylvie Kandé teaches at SUNY Old Westbury. Born in Paris to a French mother and a Senegalese father\, Kandé is the author of three collections of poetry published by Gallimard including Gestuaire and Lagon\, lagunes. Tableau de mémoire. Gestuaire examines gestures—gestures of life\, gestures of death\, of infinite love or absolute violence—as a language.  Lagon\, lagunes. Tableau de mémoireevokes the journey of a woman who takes stock of the manners in which history and the dominant gaze have shaped her “métisse” identity. Trained as both a literary critic and a historian\, she is also known for her work on the complex conversations that have taken place between Africa and Europe and Africa and its Diasporas. Her areas of specialization include métissage/hybridity and post-racial utopias. \n\nCo-sponsored by Institute of French Studies and La Maison Française of NYU

SUMMARY:STEPHEN W. SAWYER'S DEMOS ASSEMBLED: DEMOCRACY & THE INTERNATIONAL ORIGINS OF THE MODERN STATE
DESCRIPTION:Previous studies have covered in great detail how the modern state slowly emerged from the early Renaissance through the seventeenth century\, but we know relatively little about the next great act: the birth and transformation of the modern democratic state. Demos Assembled (University of Chicago Press\, 2018) provides us with a fresh\, transatlantic understanding of that political order’s genesis\, and sheds new light on the subsequent reciprocal influence that American thinkers and politicians had on the establishment of post-revolutionary regimes in France. Sawyer argues that the emergence of the stable Third Republic (1870–1940)\, which is typically said to have been driven by idiosyncratic internal factors\, was in fact a deeply transnational\, dynamic phenomenon. \nWith Stephen W. Sawyer\, professor and chair of history\, and director of the Center for Critical Democracy Studies at the American University of Paris\, editor of the Tocqueville Review and associate editor of the Annales. History and Social Sciences. Chaired by Stéphane Gerson (French and French Studies\, NYU). Comments by Edward Berenson (History and French Studies\, NYU)\, Arthur Goldhammer (Center for European Studies\, Harvard University)\, Jennifer Pitts (Political Science\, University of Chicago)\, and Sophia Rosenfeld (History\, University of Pennsylvania). \nIn English \nCo-sponsored by Institute of French Studies\, Center for European and Mediterranean Studies\, Department of History\, and Remarque Institute.

SUMMARY:LECTURE: ROBERT VITALIS: ENDING OILCRAFT'S SPELL OVER US
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\nIn his forthcoming book Robert Vitalis takes apart an ideological construction that he calls “Oilcraft\,” a set of deeply-held\, pervasive beliefs about the world\, together with the actions these vivid truths license—op eds and classified memoranda\, documentaries\, classroom lectures\, naval patrols and calls at port\, journal articles\, podcasts\, press conferences\, and protests\, to name a few. Oilcraft is the close kin not of statecraft or the art of diplomacy\, but witchcraft\, a kind of magical thinking on the part of many\, diplomats included\, about a commodity bought and sold on the New York Mercantile Exchange and elsewhere. The same as copper\, coal\, rubber\, palm oil\, tin\, and so on\, all of which were once imagined as vital too. Oilcraft is about the reasoning that makes notions of oil-as-power unquestionably true\, taken for granted\, and Vitalis’ own claim suspect\, jarring\, or risable. If you are unhappy with the witchcraft analogy\, then think instead in terms of “doctrinal verities\,” to borrow a phrase from the linguist Noam Chomsky\, who insists that it is the United States need to “control” Iraqi oil resources drove the war in 2003. \nIn his keynote for the Conference on Energy and the Left\, Vitalis proposes to recover the 1920s progressive era left’s critiques of today’s commonsense beliefs about scarcity and conflict. The roots of oilcraft are found in nineteenth century social Darwinism\, neo-mercantilism\, and geographical determinism\, which\, together with scientific racism\, are all impossible to disentangle from the imperialism of that era. The beliefs have a long half-life. Oilcraft’s debunkers today\, who are likely unaware of the earlier refutations of the imagined laws of resource imperialism\, are found primarily on the right\, not the left\, and promoted by the CATO Institute rather than the Open Society Foundation\, Institute for Policy Studies and the Nation Institute. Today’s Anglo-American left appears wholly under its spell. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobert Vitalis has taught political science at the University of Pennsylvania since 1999. The London Guardian named his America’s Kingdom: Mythmaking on the Saudi Oil Frontier\, a book of the year in 2006. His last book\, White World Order\, Black Power Politics (Cornell University Press\, 2015) moved away from the Middle East to explore the unwritten history of racism and imperialism in American disciplinary international relations and the recovery of its critical “Howard School” tradition. He new book\, Oilcraft: Folkways of Imperialism and Antiimperialism in the Twenty First Century\, is forthcoming from Stanford University Press. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \nSponsored by the Hagop Kevorkian Center for Near Eastern Studies \nCo-sponsored by: \nGraduate School of Arts and Sciences \nMiddle East and Islamic Studies (MEIS) \nHistory Graduate Students Association

SUMMARY:Global Africa\, Migration\, Literature and the Arts
DESCRIPTION:The Symposium Global Africa\, Migration\, Literature\, and the Arts is intended to explore how Africans and people of African descent globally have been and continue to be at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange\, traversing geographic\, generational\, and cultural boundaries over the centuries. It will highlight the lived experiences of migration of\, and its impact on\, the people of Africa and its Diaspora through the prism of the arts – literature visual cultures and performances including film\, comics\, graphic arts\, painting\, photography\, music\, and dance. Departing from a critical examination of the discourses of migration\, location\, home and identity in the context of social and cultural transit\, the symposium will position Africans and the African Diaspora as participants and players in the movement of both tangible and intangible matter – multi-generic ideas\, texts\, stories\, memories\, artifacts and performances— as they move through time and space in the World. In the final analysis\, the symposium will highlight the multidimensional nature of the interchange between Africa and other regions of the world as experienced in the realm of the arts\, demonstrating once again the global/international reach and scope of the arts and art movements from Africa and the African Diaspora. \nSchool of Arts and Sciences\, School of Business\, School of Environmental and Biological Sciences\, Center for African Studies\, French department\, Italian department\, and the Zimmerli Art Museum \nConveners: Ousseina Alidou (AMESALL) and Renée Larrier (Dept. of French) \nEmail: globalafrica@sas.rutgers.edu
