SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Scales of Movement: Beyond Humans and the Problem of Agency
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by Bathsheba Demuth's work\, this workshop builds a broader environmental and ecological context around narratives of home\, exile\, and migration: one that shows humans as well as states operating in a larger\, multifaceted ecology of agency. Our four panelists will explore the movement and management of dolphins\, minerals\, cattle\, and wheat as they trace the ways in which the material and the beyond-human circumscribe the agencies of humans as they enact their own. As they go beyond the “human” in our search for historical actors\, this panel will also consider how this shift in understanding who is able to exert historical agency may also necessitate a shift in scale and methodology. \n\nPanelists:\nGrant Halliday (Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nIsmael Pardo (Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nQingyi Zeng (Graduate Student\, Comparative Literature\, University of Michigan)\nYipeng Zhou (Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nDouglas Northrop (Professor\; History\, Middle East Studies\; University of Michigan\; moderator)\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Friday Lecture Series | Silence\, Power\, and Making Do: Keywords for Philippine Cinema’s Archival Afterlives
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/Rmy7D\n\nThe contours of Philippine cinema’s archival crises are alarming: of over 350 films produced before the outbreak of World War II\, only five Filipino films from the American colonial period survive. The dupe negative of the last surviving Filipino film on nitrate\, Ibong Adarna (Adarna Bird\, dir. Vicente Salumbides and Manuel Conde\, 1941)\, was destroyed shortly after its 2005 restoration.\n   \n   Drawing on postcolonial historiography\, archival theory\, and the on-the-ground realities of the Philippines’ decentralized audiovisual archive advocacy\, this talk examines three issues that emerge as keywords for the crises of moving image preservation in the Philippines. First\, archival silences\, which comprise not only the “lost films” of Philippine cinema but also the absences that are constitutive of the production of historical narratives. Second\, archival power\, which names dynamics of inclusion/exclusion in the production of historical narratives\, as well as archival practices of appraisal that institutionalize a minute percentage of extant records. Finally\, activism\, advocacy\, and “making do” — creative workarounds that have emerged to ensure the archival survival of Philippine cinema — are also expressions of archival power. In response to my research request for access copies of 16mm propaganda films made in 1971-72\, on the eve of the Marcos dictatorship’s declaration of Martial Law (PFM’s Declaration of Martial Law and From a Season of Strife)\, a handful of archivists from the Philippine Information Agency (PIA)\, the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) and the Society of Filipino Archivists for Film (SOFIA) collaborated to produce rushed digital access copies of these films in 2015. The result of our collective efforts were undoubtedly poor images. Yet the makeshift digitization itself exemplified non-idealized archival practices of making do (paggawa ng paraan) that marshal meager resources to buy time and keep things going. Given that the histories of prior state film archives’ collapse caution against the costs of inaction\, perseverance and making-do in order to ensure access are striking traits of Philippine archiving cultures called-forth by conditions of archival fragility.\n   \n   Bliss Cua Lim is Professor of Cinema Studies at the University of Toronto. Her first book\, \"Translating Time: Cinema\, the Fantastic and Temporal Critique\"\, was published by Duke University Press in 2009\, with a Philippine edition by Ateneo de Manila University Press released in 2011. Bliss is a member of the Editorial Collective of the journal\, Camera Obscura: Feminism\, Culture\, and Media Studies and she also serves on the Advisory Boards of \"Plaridel: A Philippine Journal of Communication\" and \"Pelikula: A Journal of Philippine Cinema\". Her new book\, \"The Archival Afterlives of Philippine Cinema\"\, recently published by Duke University Press\, analyzes the crisis-ridden history of film archiving in the Philippines.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu.
