Talk by

Annie E. Coombes, professor of Material and Visual Culture, in the of School of History of Art, Film and Visual Media, Birkbeck, University of London

Title: “Gender, Liberation and Futures in South Africa: Women’s Art Practice as Alternative Political Arena”

When the Monument to the Women of South Africa was unveiled in Pretoria in August 2000, much was riding on the ability of the monument to invoke the presence and necessity of women for the country’s past and for securing its success in the future.  The Monument was designed to recall not only the crucial role played in the liberation struggle by women from all constituencies (and across class and colour lines) but also the ways in which such a past can work to enable a new vision of the future.

This lecture argues that while the conventional political terrain in South Africa appears to be stalling on delivering the fruits of a democratic process, a new space for effective political activism on the ground has been opened up by women makers and artists. The lecture explores some of the extraordinary projects which have effectively taken the initiative to transform complex social environments still blighted by the devastating legacy of the apartheid years and the economic and health challenges presented by years of official denialism in the face of the AIDS/HIV pandemic. It argues that gender is a critical component in these art projects’ success.

The talk will be given in English, but simultaneous translation in French will be offered.

Everyone welcome

Présentation  par

Annie E. Coombes, professeure, Material and Visual Culture, School of History of Art, Film and Visual Media, Birkbeck, University of London

Quand:   Jeudi, 28 mars 2013, de  11 h30 à 13 h00

Où:   River Conference Room, Édifice River Building, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa

Titre:   Genre, libération et futurs en Afrique du Sud: l’utilisation de l’Art par les femmes en tant qu’arène politique alternative

(Gender, Liberation and Futures in South Africa: Women’s Art Practice as Alternative Political Arena)

Lorsque le Monument des femmes d’Afrique du Sud fut dévoilé à Pretoria, en août 2000, on a fondé beaucoup d’espoir sur la capacité de ce monument à invoquer la présence et l’importance de ces femmes qui ont fait partie du passé de ce pays pour en assurer son succès dans l’avenir. Ce Monument a été conçu pour rappeler non seulement le rôle essentiel joué par les femmes de toutes les sphères, traversant les frontières de couleur et de race, mais aussi les divers moyens grâce auxquels un tel passé peut contribuer à une nouvelle vision de l’avenir.

Cette présentation maintiendra que, bien que le terrain politique conventionnel de l’Afrique du Sud semble tarder à livrer les fruits d’un processus démocratique, un nouvel espace pour un militantisme politique efficace sur le terrain a été lancé par des femmes créatrices et artistes. Cette présentation touchera quelques un des projets extraordinaires ayant eu pour but de transformer des environnements sociaux complexes encore assombris par l’héritage dévastateur des années d’Apartheid et d’enjeux importants relativement à l’économie et à la santé, conséquence de nombreuses années de dénégation officielle quant à la pandémie de VIH/SIDA. On y confirmera que le genre est une composante critique dans le succès de ces projets artistiques.

La présentation sera donnée en anglais, avec traduction simultanée en français.

Accès libre

Conference on “Feminists, Scholars, and Activists at the Pivot Point”, March 21, 2011, 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., held in the Senate room, Tabaret Hall, Room 083, of the University of Ottawa

Dr. Pamela Walker, will be pleased to host and moderate a Conference on “Feminists, Scholars,
Activists at the Pivot Point” to look at how scholarship and activism come together in our work. This is an issue of great interest to women’s studies students who frequently wonder why all this scholarship matters or ask if it is possible to be a passionate advocate and scholar at the same time. There are many areas where this kind of tension of particularly keen, where debates about neutrality, distance, and engagement are particularly strong.

 

 

Conference sur les “Féministes, universitaires et militants au point de convergence”, le 21 mars 2011, de 9 h30 à 13 h00, à la Salle du Sénat, Pavillon Tabaret, pièce 083, Université d’Ottawa

Professeure Pamela Walker aura le plaisir de vous accueillir à la Conférence portant sur les “Féministes, universitaires et militants au point de convergence”, dont elle sera aussi la modératrice. Cette conférence permettra d’explorer comment la recherche féministe universitaire et le militantisme se rejoignent dans notre travail. Il s’agit d’une question de grand intérêt pour les étudiant-e-s d’études des femmes qui demandent souvent pourquoi la recherche a une si grande importance, ou encore s’il est possible d’être un-e militant-e passionné-e tout en étant un-e universitaire ou chercheur-e. Il y a de nombreux domaines où ces tensions sont particulièrement vives, et où les débats sur la neutralité, la distance et l’engagement sont très animés.

 

Panel Discussion on “Prostitution and the Criminal Code”, November 29, 2010 1:30pm-4:00p.m.

As the incumbent of the Joint Chair in Women’s Studies, Dr. Pamela Walker, will be pleased to host and moderate the Panel Discussion on “Prostitution and the Criminal Code”. The panelists will be discussing the impact of the recent Superior Court decision that struck down three key sections on the criminal code on prostitution. Valerie Scott, one of the three women who launched this legal challenge, and Alan Young, their lawyer who argued the case, two key figures in this recent land mark ruling on prostitution, are among the speakers.

This event will offer simultaneous translation (English-French) and admission is free.
