Exploration in Indigenous Performance: Body, Land, Language, Story. This course combines active studio/movement exploration with readings and discussion of scholarly literature to ask, “How do Indigenous approaches to the performance process differ from Eurocentric approaches?” We shall place the intellect inherent to Indigenous knowledges at the center of decolonial inquiry to engage Indigenous performance theory and concepts that link body, land, language, and story. Scholarly contributions from American Indian and Indigenous studies, cultural anthropology, literature, and performance studies provide resources for an intervention in the fields of theater, dance, and performance studies as well as Indigenous and anti/post-colonial studies. This special course will feature George A. Miller Visiting Artist, actor/playwright/dramaturg and artist/scholar Monique Mojica (Guna/Rappahannock) as well as U of I anthropologist of dance and human movement, Brenda Farnell.

We ask broadly what historical and cultural forces produced science as it stands today. But we also specifically ask: how have masculinity contests, toxic workplaces, unjustified hierarchies, and colonizing values around individualism and discovery led to the production of, frankly, crappy science? Using theory as an entry point into a number of methodological and empirical debates, we will think about what it will take to produce feminist science. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
43125	Seminar	ST	1:00PM -3:50PM	M	209A Davenport Hall	Telep, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/26/24-12/11/24 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Black France Section Info: Black France: Race in the French Republic. This interdisciplinary course provides an overview of France’s socio-historical and political relationships to Blackness within its borders and with migrants of African descent. Using a transatlantic approach covering the 20th and 21st centuries, we will explore how the French Republic’s problematic relationship to race, and to Blackness more specifically, reflects both France’s representation of itself as a “colorblind” society, and its paradoxical relationship to multicultural difference. We will also explore the historical linkages between Black Americans and Black French women and men in Paris, through the trajectories of African American artists, scholars, and activists such as Langston Hughes, W.E.B. Dubois, James Baldwin, Josephine Baker, or Angela Davis. Using fiction, film, art, social media and a range of sources from popular to elite culture, the course will enable students to gain a better understanding of the visibility/invisibility of race in postcolonial France, while relating it to wider debates about the articulation of migration, ethnicity, sexuality and citizenship in the new Millennium. All readings and audiovisual materials will be in English or in French with an English translation. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
