The Department of Political Science, Institute of Political Economy, Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and Decolonial Reading Group present:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Not 杏吧原创 the Anthropocene’: The Political Ontology of Life Projects\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mario Blaser, Memorial University of Newfoundland<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday June 5, 3:30 \u2013 5.30 PM, Richcraft Hall room 3202<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this presentation Dr. Blaser will offer and overview of a book he is working on tentatively titled ‘This is Not 杏吧原创 the Anthropocene.\u2019 The book has two aims. On the one hand, it seeks to connect two areas of debate that are differentially important in Latin America and the North Atlantic, namely the debates on \u2018the common\u2019 and the debates on the Anthropocene respectively. On the other hand, through the analysis of these topics on the basis of case studies, it seeks to present ongoing developments in \u2018political ontology\u2019, an analytical framework that he has been working on with a group of colleagues. In this overview he will trace the general contours of the argument that structures the book hoping to ignite some enriching conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All are welcome.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When \u2018seeing is believing\u2019 : humanitarian advocacy strategies in the 1920s and the 1960s<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

June 6, 2018 at 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, 433 Paterson (History Lounge)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By: Dr. Val\u00e9rie Gorin<\/a>, Senior Lecturer, University of Lausanne & Center for Education and Research in Humanitarian Action (CERAH) Visiting Fellow, 杏吧原创 University<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mobilization, persuasion and denunciation: these strategic communications became popular forms of humanitarian advocacy in the 1980s, through visible media coups from M\u00e9decins Sans Fronti\u00e8res. However, a historical gap remains on the evolution of advocacy as a public, visual and media strategy. How were early advocacy campaigns imagined by humanitarian organisations ? What type of visual imagery and iconographic conventions were produced? How did they frame the position of humanitarian workers as bystanders ? This presentation explores these aspects, focusing on two pivotal periods:1) the rise of propaganda units with humanitarian cinema during the Eastern European famine in the early 1920s; 2) the diversification into public relations or campaigns units in the aftermath of the Biafran famine in the late 1960s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Gorin is developing a project on the history of humanitarian advocacy before and after WWII. It aims to understand the development of humanitarian communication and its visual culture by exploring the tensions with political activism and eyewitness strategies, using advocacy materials from ICRC, Save the Children, Oxfam and Terre des Hommes. As a historian and media scholar, her areas of research relate to the visual heritage of humanitarianism, the ideological values and power relationships inherent to the international relief movement, and how such representations affect global or national audiences. She will share her reflections on methodological and historical approaches to visual culture of humanitarian action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
