EIHS Lecture: The Philadelphia Police and the Long History of the 1985 Bombing of MOVE: Writing the Past in the Vortex of Present (January 27, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/85509 85509-21626796@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 27, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location

Description: Drawing from never-before-seen records, interviews with survivors, and the release of recently declassified documents, Heather Ann Thompson's forthcoming book seeks to recover the deep origins as well as legacies of one of the most lethal assaults by the police on African American citizens in the history of the twentieth century: the 1985 Philadelphia police bombing of the MOVE organization. Thompson will discuss the possibilities as well as challenges of navigating our discipline’s historiographical goals, scholarly imperatives, and methodological boundaries when one seeks to write a history of an iconic and pivotally important event and organization in the past that suddenly, and quite unexpectedly, makes news in the present for reasons that may be heartwarming and deeply unsettling alike.

Biography: Heather Ann Thompson is a historian at the University of Michigan in the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies, Department of History, and Residential College. She is the author of Whose Detroit: Politics, Labor, and Race in a Modern American City, and Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971, which won the Pulitzer Prize, the Bancroft Prize, was a finalist for the National Book Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Award, and won five additional book prizes. Thompson also regularly writes about policing and prisons for The New York Times, The New Yorker, TIME, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone, etc., as well for the top publications in her field. She sits on myriad policy advisory boards, and was appointed to National Academy of Sciences blue ribbon panel on the causes and consequences of mass incarceration. She currently sits on its standing Committee on Law and Justice. In 2021 Thompson was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to write her next book: Bullet and Burn: The Move Bombing of 1985 and Law and Order America.

This 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.

Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

Format: This lecture is presented in hybrid format: in-person in 1014 Tisch Hall and virtual via Zoom webinar (register: https://myumi.ch/Ek82M).

Description: Questions about the relationship between historical memory and slavery have become increasingly acute in a political environment where thinly veiled claims to racial purity have been weaponized to proscribe the boundaries of national citizenship. At the same time, various protest movements have demanded that we reconsider the violent legacy of racism that is enshrined, commemorated, and memorialized in this country. In this talk, Jason Young argues that much of what we have inherited as the sights, sounds, and symbols of slavery are of very recent provenance, much of it produced by influential myth-makers in the early twentieth century who responded to the racial anxieties of their day by weaponizing their memories of the antebellum past. The themes explored in this talk continue to have great currency in the current moment when debates about historical memory, race and slavery are being waged both in the arena of popular culture as well as in the halls of academia.

Biography: Jason R. Young is an associate professor in the Department of History at the University of Michigan. He is the author of Rituals of Resistance: African Atlantic Religion in Kongo and the Lowcounrty Region of Georgia and South Carolina in the Era of Slavery, an exploration into the religious and ritual practices that linked Kongo with South Carolina in the era of slavery. He is the co-editor, with Edward J. Blum, of The Souls of W.E.B. Du Bois: New Essays and Reflections. Professor Young has published articles in the Journal of African American History, Journal of Africana Religions and Journal of Southern Religion among others. He is currently conducting research toward his next book project, "'To Make the Slave Anew': Art, History and the Politics of Authenticity."

DAAS Africa Workshop with Fatoumata Seck, Assistant Professor of French and Francophone studies, Stanford University (March 22, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91308 91308-21677933@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 22, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Afroamerican and African Studies

This talk explores the transformation of economic imaginaries in Senegal following the implementation of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank’s structural adjustment programs. It examines Senegal’s most famous comic strip, Goorgoorlou, created in 1987 by Alphonse Mendy (alias T.T.Fons), and follows the life of the satirical cartoon across different media and languages to illustrate how the cartoonist uses popular culture to give shape to a changing imaginary of work, thereby offering insights on the inner workings of social change. By showing how those who work with words and images leave their mark on society, this talk highlights how the spontaneous and unplanned fabrication of imaginaries occurs.

Fatoumata Seck is an Assistant Professor of French and Francophone studies at Stanford University, affiliated with the Center for African Studies. She holds a joint appointment at the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity and a courtesy appointment in the department of Comparative Literature. Before coming to Stanford, Seck was an Assistant Professor at the City University of New York, College of Staten Island (CUNY/CSI). She received a PhD in French with an Anthropology minor and a certificate in African Studies from Stanford University. Her scholarship has appeared in The Journal of African Cultural Studies, The Journal of Haitian Studies, Etudes Littéraires Africaines, Le Monde Afrique and is forthcoming in The Routledge Encyclopedia of African Studies.

Abstract:
What are the conditions of possibility for epistemic and cultural decolonisation? This paper addresses this question through the work of Frantz Fanon with a view to illuminating the relevance of a complex understanding of translation to broad processes of decolonisation in Africa. The central premise is that without an analysis of Africa’s post-colonial present in relation to psychic life – as referring to the psycho-affective, somatic and spiritual dimensions of human existence – the deeper roots of ongoing attachments to colonial archives and their afterlife, as well as key cultural and spiritual resources for addressing trauma and re-imagining the future, risk remaining unaddressed. Proceeding through a critical-theoretical analysis of, especially, Fanon’s psychiatric writings (2015), the paper suggests that his work opens up the space for thinking of translation (“transmutation”) as an analytical and transformative praxis through which to reclaim the epistemic and political value of African cultural sources and experiences. On the one hand, Fanon illuminates the epistemological significance of attending to psychic life for mobilizing a critical function of translation beyond models of colonial assimilation. On the other hand, he points to the healing (literally to ‘make whole’, or ‘restore wholeness’) possibilities that translation offers when viewed as a creative process that, drawing from lived experience and familial cultural referents, can contribute to the reconstitution of personality and the restoration of agency in the production of social and cultural life.
