The Writing Towards a Just World Research Cluster Present - Crafting Comedy: Humour as a Tool of Decolonization A workshop hosted by writer, Frances Koncan. November 8th 2022 Hybrid workshop - in-person at 307 Tier and online via Zoom Webinar Some say comedy is an innate gift that only a select few possess; others say it's a skill that anyone can learn. Writer, Frances, thinks it's a little bit of both! In this workshop, we'll explore the building blocks of humour, joke-writing, and comedy as well as our own individual lived experiences, perspectives, and ideas to exercise our comedic muscles and explore our authentic voice as writers. Through a combination of listening, watching and, most importantly, writing, we'll focus in on how humour can be used to challenge and re-imagine the rules, structures and practices that we have been taught – and hopefully have a few laughs along the way. Please stay tuned for the Zoom webinar link to register and event poster.

UMIH Newsletter March 28th 2022 - TOMORROW! @ 02:30 PM CT ; From Tombs to Parchman: The Prison and the Plantation in US Experimental Fiction by Dr. Caitlin Mcintyre (State University of New York at Buffalo)
by U Of M Institute For The Humanities 28 Mar '22

28 Mar '22

Dear Friends of the hUManities, Welcome to a new week! Thanks to everyone who joined us at last week's events. We look forward to seeing folks again in the coming weeks (: Upcoming Events: The Occupy Bartleby Research Cluster presents From Tombs to Parchman: The Prison and the Plantation in US Experimental Fiction by Dr Caitlin Mcintyre (State University of New York at Buffalo) Mar 29, 2022, at 02:30 PM Central Time Via Zoom This talk will argue, figure the ruptures of enslavement—a figuring extant in modern and contemporary novels by women of colour including Jesmyn Ward’s Sing, Unburied, Sing (2017) and Gayl Jones’s Eva’s Man (1976), owing to the violent afterlives of the plantation long after the Civil War. Ultimately, in seeing literary experimentation as a specific engagement with the prison/plantation complex in the United States, this talk ultimately asks: how can reading Melville shift how modernism is conceived and periodized? Please see the attached event poster for more details. To attend this talk, email: umih(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:umih@umanitoba.ca> for the Zoom link. The Power & resistance in Latin America Research Cluster presents Lessons from the Argentine Destape: Sex and Culture in the Transition to Democracy presented by Dr Natalia Milanesio (University of Houston) Wednesday, April 6th, 2022, at 4:15 PM CT How did the restoration of democracy in 1983, after years of repression and censorship, transform sexuality and representations and ideas about sexuality? This talk answers this question by examining the unparalleled sexualization of Argentine culture and society after the fall of the last military dictatorship that contemporaries called the destape. Omnipresent, sex was not only about fantasies and indulgence but was also imbued with a myriad of social, political, and cultural positive meanings—including citizenship, social progress, national development, and modernity—that made sexual culture into a powerful metaphor for democracy and the reconstruction of Argentine society. Event poster coming soon. To attend, please email landivan(a)myumanitoba.ca<mailto:landivan@myumanitoba.ca> for the Zoom link.
