WWIGS - Justin Cammy (Smith College, MA)
FAB2.32

Wednesday 25 October, 4-5:30pm, FAB2.32

Justin Cammy (Smith College, MA): ‘From the Vilna Ghetto to Nuremberg’

In cooperation with the Centre for Global Jewish Studies

 

A discussion of the ghetto memoir (1946) and testimony of Sutzkever, one of the great Yiddish poets to emerge from the Holocaust, translated into English by Justin Cammy. Why was the memoir ignored by critics and even by the author himself for so long? And why should we look anew at early post-liberation efforts to document events that established a foundation for both justice and collective memory?

French Research Seminar: Lydie Moudileno (University of Southern California), 'Finding Dahomey: African Royalty in the Diasporic Imagination'
Online via Teams
Wed 25 Oct, '23
6pm - 7:30pm
French Research Seminar: Lydie Moudileno (University of Southern California), 'Finding Dahomey: African Royalty in the Diasporic Imagination'

Abstract: As much as they fascinated the West since early modern encounters, African royals (and particularly precolonial Kings) have equally marked the imaginary of the African diaspora. Using Dahomey as an emblematic case study, this talk will examine how figures of African royalty --real and imagined-- have been mobilized to claim distinction and racial dignity, from Panafrican discourses to Afrofuturist aesthetics.

Followed by a Response from Pierre-Philippe Fraiture.

This seminar will take place on Microsoft Teams. Please visit this page for the Teams link.
