Colby College Presentation--“Who Gets To Tell Story”, Rhea Cote Robbins Oct 2018

Colby College Presentation--“Who Gets To Tell Story”, Rhea Cote Robbins

Rhea Cote Robbins

“Who Gets To Tell Story”
Presentation by
Rhea Côté Robbins
Colby College, Waterville Opera House
October 24, 2018
for the
Citizenship and Community Course that asks students to be fully engaged citizens of many different but connected communities.
"Who Gets To Tell Story?"
My objective for the talk:  Telling or hearing story while conscious of the human ecology—listening to story justly with social consciousness of equality. 
I would like to define what qualifies as “story.”  I believe essentially that every person, artifact, ritual, etc. is story.  Everything we know comes to us via story; we are surrounded by story.  …

Les Écrivaines Francophones En Liberté : Farida Belghoul, Maryse Condé, Assia Djebar, Calixthe Beyala, Martine Fernandes Feb 2017

Les Écrivaines Francophones En Liberté : Farida Belghoul, Maryse Condé, Assia Djebar, Calixthe Beyala, Martine Fernandes

Martine Wagner

A travers l'étude de quatre romans francophones, Georgette ! de Farida Belghoul, En attendant le bonheur de Maryse Condé, L'amour, la fantasia d'Assia Djebar et Tu t'appelleras Tanga de Calixthe Beyala, ce livre analyse l'effet d'hybridité produit par l'intégration et la remise en cause de concepts métaphoriques issus de différentes cultures : tels que le destin de la femme conçu comme une route déjà tracée, l'amour vécu comme une guerre. De fait, à travers leur travail sur la langue française, les écrivaines revendiquent non seulement un style individuel, mais aussi, à travers la liberté d'écrire, la liberté de penser et …

Technology has shaped the personal experiences of Teaching Assistants (TAs) of French at the collegiate level in the United States (US), what they feel about the technology tools that are accessible in their work environment, and how they use these tools in their practice of teaching. Yet, there is limited research on the specific topic of the attitudes of TAs of French toward the instructional technologies that are available to them. This study sought to investigate the attitudes of a singular TA of French at a southern US university toward instructional technology (IT) by exploring the dynamics of IT use …

Mariah E. Devereux Herbeck

La Tragedia De La Revolución Haitiana (The Tragedy Of The Haitian Revolution), Andrés Fabián Henao Castro Feb 2016

La Tragedia De La Revolución Haitiana (The Tragedy Of The Haitian Revolution), Andrés Fabián Henao Castro

Andrés Fabián Henao-Castro

La tesis de este artículo sugiere la tragedia como el género dramático que expresa y problematiza la brecha existente entre la liberación y la libertad, la brecha que caracteriza la eticidad de la post-colonialidad haitiana. Una doble ausencia estructura dicha brecha en el horizonte de la libertad, una que marca la primera afirmación de la libertad ilegible en la segunda o, en otras palabras, una que cuestiona la imposibilidad de traducir la liberación en la libertad de acuerdo a los términos constitutivos de una modernidad incapaz de confrontar la historia de su colonialidad.

Natural Disaster: Representation, Spectatorship, And Loss In The Flood Stories L’Inondation, Trouble The Water, And Low And Behold, Juliana Starr Jan 2015

Natural Disaster: Representation, Spectatorship, And Loss In The Flood Stories L’Inondation, Trouble The Water, And Low And Behold, Juliana Starr

Juliana Starr

Publié cinq ans avant le célèbre roman Germinal, la nouvelle moins connue L’Inondation (1880), dans laquelle le je-narrateur observe du haut d’un toit l’inondation de la Garonne qui eut lieu en 1875, résonne de manière particulièrement significative aujourd’hui chez les habitants des côtes de la Louisiane et du Mississipi, en raison de sa ressemblance frappante avec quelques-uns des récits filmographiques de l’inondation castastrophique provoquée par l’ouragan Katrina en 2005. L’un de ces films est le documentaire Trouble the Water (2008), dans lequel la rappeuse en herbe Kimberly Roberts dirige son caméscope de vingt dollars sur elle-même et ses voisins bloqués …

The Worldmakers: Global Imagining In Early Modern Europe, Ayesha Ramachandran Dec 2014

The Worldmakers: Global Imagining In Early Modern Europe, Ayesha Ramachandran

Ayesha Ramachandran

In this beautifully conceived book, Ayesha Ramachandran reconstructs the imaginative struggles of early modern artists, philosophers, and writers to make sense of something that we take for granted: the world, imagined as a whole. Once a new, exciting, and frightening concept, “the world” was transformed in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. But how could one envision something that no one had ever seen in its totality? The Worldmakers moves beyond histories of globalization to explore how “the world” itself—variously understood as an object of inquiry, a comprehensive category, and a system of order—was self-consciously shaped by human agents. Gathering an …

Babelian Cosmopolitanism Or Tuning In To “Sublime Frequencies”, Puspa Damai Oct 2014

Babelian Cosmopolitanism Or Tuning In To “Sublime Frequencies”, Puspa Damai

Puspa Damai

Jacques Attali, in his critically acclaimed book, Noise: The Political Economy of Music, cites one of Leibniz’s little known but “extraordinary” texts, “Drôle de pensée touchant nouvelle sorte de représentation,” in which the philosopher describes the “Palace of Marvels.” The Palace of Marvels is Leibniz’s idealization of a perfect political organization, which is built in such a way that the master of the house is able to hear and see everything that is being said and done in the premises without himself being perceived by his subjects. Leibniz’s vision of disciplinary society not only predates Bentham’s or Foucault’s subsequent versions …
