Partly a commemoration of the 1845 visit of Maungwudaus and his troupe of performers, and partly a \u201creply\u201d to the contemporary responses of French writers and artists the work reflects on the history and politics of encounter, and on disappearance. The piece recalls Indigenous ties to the land, while also alluding to the untimely deaths of members of Maungwudaus\u2019s troupe and family while on tour. The resulting installation invited renewed encounter between Parisian publics and that Anishinaabe history, through a contemporary Anishinaabe presence in the city.<\/p>\n<p>This conference, drawing on the work of the \u201cBeyond the Spectacle: Native North American Presence in Britain\u201d project, seeks to build on the growing body of work examining Indigenous travel across the Atlantic, broadening the scope of our present project from Britain to Europe more broadly, and from North American\/transatlantic to global concerns. If Houle\u2019s project is one example of the ways travel both creates and illuminates historical memory, while also offering the opportunity to examine and enliven ongoing connections between Indigenous and European spaces and communities, how else do these legacies of colonialism manifest on European soil? How do they critique and commemorate that past?<\/p>\n<p>How do\/can they transcend the colonial context? And what do they mean to contemporary communities, whether Indigenous or European? Maungwudaus and others left accounts of their experiences in Europe; what do those accounts, and contemporary reverberations such as Houle\u2019s artwork, do to their public audiences\u2019 understanding of the spaces they travelled through, as well as the places they came from? How do they inflect an Indigenous-centred understanding of the transnational turn; deflect or otherwise destroy the binary of Indigenous (local\/static) and modern (global\/mobile); or contribute to the exigencies of post-Imperial history and its implications in other fields? And finally, what practical, material change can the examination of these moments and modes of encounter, in spaces that invite collaboration between Indigenous and European participants, bring about for current practice in academia, museum studies, and the culture industry more broadly, particularly in regard to the relationships between institutional practitioners and communities?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">We welcome the full range of traditional approaches\u201420 minute papers, panels, roundtables\u2014and are very open to more innovative responses to subject matter\u2014poster presentations, video presentations, performances, collaborative\/interactive sessions, as well as to non-academic proposers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Topics that may be covered include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Historic and contemporary journeys by both individuals and groups\u2014their root causes and impacts, e.g.: Sport, military (esp. the First and Second World Wars), activism, commerce, diplomacy, captivity, and performance<\/li>\n<li>Commemorations \/reverberations of historical journeys<\/li>\n<li>The legacies of travel to home communities (incl. artistic and literary responses)<\/li>\n<li>The \u2018residues\u2019 of travel in destination communities (incl. artistic and literary responses)<\/li>\n<li>\u2018encounter\u2019 between different groups of non-European travellers<\/li>\n<li>How to make European archives more accessible to Indigenous scholars and communities<\/li>\n<li>Decolonizing European archives and institutions<\/li>\n<li>Fostering Indigenous-centred Indigenous Studies in Europe<\/li>\n<li>What it means to be gathering in Paris (or any other major city of a colonising power)<\/li>\n<li>Fostering mutual, ethical relations between IS practitioners in Europe and Indigenous communities<\/li>\n<li>Reframing Centre and Periphery<\/li>\n<li>Confronting\/transcending the spectacle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Papers<\/strong>: please send 250 word abstracts and a short bio.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Panels:<\/strong> panel proposals of no more than 3 speakers should include a 100 word summary of the overall theme, plus 250 word abstracts per speaker.
