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:Jean-Paul Sartre\, The French Revolution and the Present-Sophie Wahnich
DESCRIPTION:SOPHIE WAHNICH\, HISTORIENNE\, PARIS\, LE 30 AVRIL 2015.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nL’appréciation politique et intellectuelle de la Révolution française doit moins\, depuis 1945\, aux historiens qu’aux philosophes\, moins à l’évolution de l’historiographie comme telle qu’à la manière dont des penseurs de première importance se sont mêlés de penser la Révolution française. Les querelles philosophiques des années 1960\, sur les fonctions respectives de l’histoire\, de l’anthropologie\, des sciences dites humaines\, et de la philosophie ont installé la Révolution française au cœur des débats. Le plus fameux d’entre eux a opposé Jean-Paul Sartre et Claude Lévi-Strauss\, et\, dans son sillage\, Michel Foucault a promu\, contre Sartre\, une conception scientifique du savoir sur l’homme où la Révolution française n’a plus eu aucun intérêt. Mais personne n’en est resté là. \nQuel est aujourd’hui le legs de ces querelles\, pour les historiens et pour la manière de concevoir l’expérience politique de la Révolution française? \nSophie Wahnich est directrice de recherche au CNRS (IIAC/EHESS/PSL). Elle travaille entre histoire\, anthropologie et études politiques sur la Révolution française. Elle interroge notre présent en écoutant les conseils\, avis et perplexités vécues de nos ancêtres révolutionnaires. Pour faire passage entre ces figures fantomatiques et fortes et nous\, elle fait confiance aux émotions. Elle a plus particulièrement travaillé sur les émotions comme faculté de juger pendant le moment révolutionnaire et sur les enjeux philosophiques de cette perspective historiographique. \nBibliographie: L’impossible citoyen l’étranger dans le discours de la Révolution française\, Paris Albin Michel 1997 (réédition semi-poche 2010); La liberté ou la mort\, essai sur la terreur et le terrorisme\, La fabrique édition 2003 (traduction en anglais chez Verso\, en allemand chez Matthes & Seitz); La longue patience du peuple\, 1792 naissance de la République\, Paris\, Payot 2008; Les émotions la Révolution française et le présent\, Paris CNRS éditions 2009; La Revolution française n’est pas un mythe\, Paris Klinsieck 2017. \nIn French \nCo-sponsored with Department of French Literature\, Thought\, and Culture and Institute of French Studies
