    Stiwanismo En Un Contexto Africano 1

    Stiwanismo en un contexto africano1 Stiwanism, feminism in an African context Molara Ogundipe-Leslie University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. Recibido el 19 de marzo de 2002. Aceptado el 19 de abril de 2002. BIBLID [ l l 34-6396(2002)9: 1; 59-92] RESUMEN Molara Ogundipe plantea en este texto cuáles son las distintas situaciones de las mujeres africanas en el contexto actual, de un África en proceso de modernización pero en que a la vez las diferentes tradiciones continúan vivas, y cuáles han de ser los proyectos emancipatorios que las mujeres deberían llevar a cabo. En este sentido, Ogundipe hace un repaso histórico y considera que las mujeres han estado siempre presentes, en primer plano y de manera activa, en los procesos de liberación del continente africano, pero sus demandas han sido siempre relegadas a un papel secundario; y, asimismo, es evidente que no hay cambio social posible en positivo cuando no se cuenta con las mujeres. Así pues, la propuesta de Molara Ogundipe consiste en una Transformación Social que Incluya a las mujeres en África, el concepto Stiwanismo (Social Transformation Including Women in Africa). Palabras clave: Feminismos. África. Mujeres africanas. Stiwanismo. Imperialismo cultural. ABSTRACT In this text Molara Ogundipe raises the issue of the different situation of African women currently, in the context of Africa as a continent in the process of modemization, with different live traditions. She also focuses on the emancipatory projects that women engage in. In her review of history, Ogundipe considers that women are always present in a very active way, in the process of liberation of the African continent.

L’approche choisie emprunte à la fois au champ littéraire et au champ cinématographique, et fait intervenir à la fois théoriciens, écrivains et cinéastes. À travers plusieurs regards croisés entre cinéastes et écrivains, ce mémoire décrit comment les thèmes du dépaysement, de la mémoire, de l’identité, du territoire et de la langue reviennent sans cesse dans les œuvres des auteurs migrants. Il interroge également la place des auteurs migrants au sein de la littérature et du cinéma nationaux, leur apport à l’imaginaire collectif, et plus largement leur place dans le discours social ambiant. À travers son œuvre, Mallet raconte sa propre expérience d’exilée en même temps qu’elle témoigne de ce qui s’est passé après le coup d’État au Chili en 1973, laissant des traces pour contrer l’histoire officielle.

Même si les personnages et les situations qu’ont conformé « l’Ethnie Blanche » pendant le temps ont été très variés, il existe des caractéristiques qui se répètent, des continuités associées avec l’ambiguïté du statut social, des relations entre les sexes ou les spécialisations économiques, à la frontière entre le local et le global.

    January 14, 2020 MEDIA RELEASE BELL MEDIA’S CRAVE TO BRING SELECT TIFF FILMS TO WIDER AUDIENCE IN NEW PARTNERSHIP New initiative provides distribution opportunity for select TIFF films The TIFF Selects collection is now live with eight films TORONTO​ — TIFF and Bell Media announced today that 11 feature films that celebrated their World Premieres at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival will be distributed for streaming across the country on Crave. The groundbreaking new partnership, called “TIFF Selects,” is a first for TIFF as a Canadian distribution opportunity for its world-class Festival programming. The vast majority of films in the collection will have their premieres on Crave. “TIFF’s partnership with Bell Media and Crave, Canada’s own world-class streaming service, is good for business and furthers TIFF’s mission to showcase exceptional cinema to audiences across the country,” said Joana Vicente, TIFF’s Executive Director and Co-Head. “TIFF is thrilled to make this opportunity available to both the filmmakers and viewers. Together, we hope to grow the TIFF Selects collection over the coming years.” “It was important for us to expand the presence of TIFF – an iconic Canadian cultural institution – on Crave,” said Randy Lennox, President, Bell Media. “One of Crave’s cultural mandates is acquiring, curating, and distributing the best content in the world, and we’re thrilled to continue that momentum through this new partnership with TIFF.” The Canadian and international films that have been offered the opportunity to premiere on Crave as part of TIFF Selects represent a richness of voices, perspectives, and insights from some of the world’s finest established filmmakers, as well as emerging directorial talent.

Thank you all for putting up with me these last few months! All the same, there are a couple special people whom I need to recognize. First, I’d like to thank you, Professor Games, for your endless compassion and support as we navigated these challenging and isolating semesters online. You made this year worth it! A big thank you as well to my advisor, Professor McKittrick, for the wealth of knowledge that you shared with me. And of course, thank you to the other “Africanists” and all of my classmates in the thesis seminar. You all made this experience meaningful, collaborative, and fun, even on Zoom. I’d also like to thank two friends from home, Ana-Maria and Daphne, for being willing to go very much out of your way to get me the sources that I needed, even if the pandemic foiled some of our plans.

  • Guide De Visite De L'exposition

    Guide De Visite De L'exposition

    Guide de visite de l’exposition 1 En guise d’introduction En lien avec le thème du Concours National de la Résistance et de la Déportation 2012-2013, « Communiquer pour résister. 1940- 1945 », l’exposition proposée par le Musée de la Résistance de Bondues invite à explorer le rôle joué par les moyens de communication dans la lutte contre l’Allemagne nazie et le régime de Vichy. Si l’on définit simplement la communication comme l’acte d’établir des relations avec quelqu’un, on constate que ce rôle est double : la communication des résistants est orientée d’une part vers une forme de propagande et de contre-propagande (communication « externe ») et d’autre part vers l’organisation du « monde résistant » (communication « interne »). En effet, les différentes techniques de communication sont utilisées par les résistants à la fois pour convaincre ceux qui ne résistent pas, soit l’immense majorité de la population française, et nuire aux ennemis. Elles permettent également aux résistants d’échanger entre eux et d’organiser la circulation des informations et du matériel. Quelle qu’en soit la forme, la communication constitue une part non négligeable du travail des résistants. Certains d’entre eux s’y consacrent même exclusivement, au péril de leur vie. Le présent guide de visite reprend chacun des treize panneaux de l’exposition. Chaque panneau fait l’objet d’une synthèse, qui s’efforce de mettre en lumière les acteurs de la Résistance dans une perspective le plus souvent régionale. Toutes les synthèses sont suivies de quelques documents qui les illustrent ou les approfondissent.
