Picture
Internationally renowned author, Honorary Visiting Fellow at The Sir Arthur Lewis Institute of Social and Economic Studies (2014-12015), Dr. Erna Brodber, will conduct a prose fiction writing workshop at the University of the West Indies, Mona campus. The workshop is hosted by the Department of Literatures in English, UWI, Mona.

Dr. Brodber, a graduate of the University College of the West Indies (1963), was born in a small town, Woodside, in St. Mary, Jamaica, where she grew up with a keen sense of active community involvement and of the importance of oral stories and folklore in identity construction and politics. Her works thematically focus on culture, memory, displacement, Pan-African ideology, Diasporic spirituality, class, and gender.

Dr. Brodber is an avant-garde contemporary writer from the Commonwealth Caribbean, with publications that speak to her artistic vision. She is the author of five novels: Jane and Louisa Will Soon Come Home (1980), Myal (1988), Louisiana (1994), The Rainmaker’s Mistake (2006), Nothing’s Mat (2014), a collection of short stories, The World Is a High Hill (2012), and numerous non-fiction and scholarly works. She has been an invited guest at many institutions worldwide and a Writer-in-Residence in the Department of Literatures in English (UWI, Mona). She has won numerous awards and distinctions including: Outstanding Contribution to the Arts; Best Adult Non-Fiction (UWI Press); Distinguished Caribbean Writer and Scholar; Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence (Clarke University); Order of Distinction-Commander Class.

This workshop (scheduled for March 25, 1, 8, and 15, 2015, from 6-8 PM, in the Graduate Conference Room of the Faculty of Humanities and Education) is an opportunity for those interested in prose fiction writing to take advantage of Dr. Brodber’s expertise in the field. Please contact the Department at 876 927-2217 or [email protected] in order to register. 

Professor Mervyn Morris to Launch His Latest Book at UWI, Mona 

2/2/2015

 
Picture
Professor Emeritus, Poet Laureate, Mervyn Morris will launch his latest book, Miss Lou:  Louise Bennett and Jamaican Culture, on February 10, 2015 at 6:30 p.m. in Lecture Theatre 3 (Faculty of Medical Sciences) at The University of the West Indies, Mona. The launch is hosted by the Department of Literatures in English, and will form part of the University Research Days 2015 activities at the UWI, Mona Campus.

The publication of Miss Lou: Louise Bennett and Jamaican Culture in March 2014 by Ian Randall Publishers coincided with Professor Morris’ appointment as Poet Laureate of Jamaica, the first since the country’s independence. Miss Lou: Louise Bennett and Jamaican Culture is both a biography and a critical assessment of the work of a woman often referred to as the “face” of Jamaican culture: Louise Bennett-Coverley—poet, performer, storyteller, singer, actress, writer, broadcaster, folklorist, and TV show host—whose work underscores the importance of Creole language in Jamaica.

Professor Morris could be characterized as the quintessential Louise Bennett scholar. In 1963 he published “On Reading Louise Bennett, Seriously,” and edited/published her Selected Poems in 1982, as well as her radio monologues, Aunty Roachy Sey (1993). This new book on Miss Lou promises to be delightful as it sheds light on this cultural icon. Professor Morris’ scholarship is wide and far-reaching. In addition to works on Louise Bennett, he counts among his numerous publications ‘Is English We Speaking' and Other Essays (1999), Making West Indian Literature (2005), and six books of poetry, including I Been There, Sort Of (2006).

Appointed Professor Emeritus of Creative Writing and West Indian Literature at the University of the West Indies, Mona, in 2003, Professor Morris has taught in the Department of Literatures in English since 1970, and became Head of the Department (1979-82; 1988-91) and Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Arts and General Studies (1987-89). He has also been a Visiting Lecturer/Professor and Writer-in-Residence at various Universities in the UK and the USA.

Professor Morris’ other accomplishments and awards include: MCOBA Hall of Fame (2013), CPTC Cultural Medal of Honour (2012), Order of Merit, Jamaica (2009), Silver Musgrave Medal for Poetry (Institute of Jamaica, 1976), and the 1958 Rhodes Scholarship (1957).  University Research Days 2015 provides the perfect platform to showcase Professor Morris’ scholarship and talent. Story-teller Amina Blackwood-Meeks as well as dub poets Oku Onuora, Jean Binta Breeze and Mutaburaka will perform in tribute to the Poet Laureate on the occasion of this launch event. Professor Emeritus Edward Baugh will be the launch speaker. The event is open to the public.

Picture
The Guyana Prize for Literature was established in 1987 to provide encouragement for the development of good creative writing among Guyanese in particular and Caribbean writers in general.


During the Awards Presentation on the Twentieth Anniversary of the Prize it was declared that after contributing to the advancement of the literature through the recognition of Guyanese writers, the pledge to Caribbean writing should now be honoured in a specific and direct way.  This need was further felt since there was still no literary prize offered within the Anglophone region with Awards for Caribbean Fiction, Poetry and Drama.  The pledge became a reality when it was announced in Georgetown on November 2, 2010, that the Government of Guyana had provided funds to the Management Committee of the Guyana Prize for the first Guyana Prize for Literature Caribbean Award, starting with the Prize for 2010.  There will be three Awards.

2015 CSA CONFERENCE CALL FOR PAPERS

2/12/2014

 
Picture
The Caribbean Studies Association hereby issues a call for papers for its 40th Annual Conference, set for May 25-29, 2015, at the Hilton Hotel (Riverside) in New Orleans, Louisiana.  The theme for 2015 is “The Caribbean in an Age of Global Apartheid: Fences, Boundaries, and Borders—Literal and Imagined.”  The deadline for abstract submissions is December 15, 2014.


Description
The theme for this year’s conference reflects the unfortunate fact that today’s 21st century Planet Earth is experiencing a steady growth in global inequality.  The term “global apartheid” refers to the fact that throughout the world, fences, boundaries, borders and barriers confront all aspects of human endeavor and are protected by a minority with power over and control of most of the world’s land, labor and capital.  Yet at the same time, globalization is producing population movements across all these obstacles on an unprecedented planetary scale.  Our week-long meeting provides an opportunity from a variety of perspectives to analyze, understand, and address the contradictions—pushes and pulls—of this new global reality as it impacts the Caribbean and its diasporas.

The designated conference site is New Orleans, often referred to as the “northernmost point of the Caribbean.”  Before the “Anglo-American” takeover and Civil War, it was a majority-black city with an implicitly African Creole culture.  Like many Caribbean nations, its unique history is comprised of three distinct colonial eras entailing almost three centuries of contact and synthesis among African slaves (the last to be imported legally into the U.S.), French and Spanish colonists, gens de couleur libres (free people of color), native peoples and Cajuns. 

The influence of both Haiti and Cuba on New Orleans is palpable, especially in the French Quarter and Faubourg Tremé (the site of Congo Square).  In the early 19th century, refugees coming from revolutionary Saint-Domingue, many by way of eastern Cuba, transformed Louisiana, providing inspiration for the largest slave revolt in U.S. history (1811) that ended with a tribunal held at Destrehan plantation near New Orleans (a planned CSA tour).  Perhaps less well known is the fact that New Orleans was a port city that enjoyed an almost 200-year long trading relationship with Havana, ending with the U.S. embargo of Cuba.

Today, New Orleans (and Southwest Louisiana/East Texas) is home to a robust and distinctive subculture comprised of black Catholic speakers of Creole (also known as Afro-French, Black Creoles, Black French, Creoles, Créoles, Créoles Noirs, Creoles of Color).  Plenaries, round-tables and featured panels will connect these unique Creole cultures of the U.S. with those of Africa and the Caribbean, especially those of Cuba and Haiti.  A CSA conference exhibition will show these historical connections visually by featuring strikingly similar bead work created by the Yoruba, Haitians, and Mardi Gras Indians (Black Indians). 

Papers and presentations are welcomed on sub-themes that relate to the overall conference theme, such as: 1) borders as one of the great contradictions in the era of capitalist globalization, the question of national sovereignty, responses to economic superfluity (joblessness) in the Caribbean and Circum-Caribbean; demands for slavery reparations; 2) Creole identity, history, language, migration, cuisine, literature, music, dance, festival arts, art and architecture, religious and spiritual traditions; 3) global climate change, environmental sustainability and urban geography, “toxic tourism” and disaster sites, abandoned populations, emigration and immigration policies, “nations without borders,” transnational citizenship; and 4) efforts in the region to overcome the barriers of race, ethnicity, language, nationality, religion, class status, gender and sexual orientation.

A setting is provided where multi- and inter-disciplinary views are encouraged, where the arts and humanities meet the social sciences, and where different ways of seeing and communicating about the world are presented by a diverse array of participants.  In order to facilitate inter-disciplinary exchange, members are encouraged to propose ideas for papers and panels, by way of contacting others to create multi-disciplinary and multi-lingual panels at our website’s forum.

Guidelines for Panel/Paper Submissions

● All proposals must be submitted electronically via the CSA website.  The deadline for individual and panel submissions is 15 December 2014

● Abstracts must not exceed 125 words for individual papers or 250 words for panels

● Titles for individual papers and for panels must not exceed 70 characters (we reserve the right to edit for brevity)

● Proposed panels should contain at least 3 and no more than 4 presenters, and panel chairperson must be named in the proposal

● Paper titles (and abstracts if possible) should be submitted in at least one other language besides English (Spanish, French or Haitian Kreyol); multilingual abstracts will be published in the electronic version of the program.

● Panels should strive to represent a diversity of languages, rank, affiliations and disciplines (i.e., inclusion of graduate students and junior scholars on panels with senior scholars, activists, and/or practitioners; panels composed of social science, arts and humanities scholars)

● Papers/presentations that require special equipment, installation space, rooms, translation services, etc., must be indicated on the submission form

● Presentations of films and visual and performing arts, as well as related panels, are welcome. Please see the 2015 Film and Visual & Performing Arts Committee Call for Proposals (below) for information and submission instructions.

Membership dues and conference registration must be paid by April 15, 2015, or papers/panels will not appear in the conference program.  Membership and registration details are available on the CSA website http://www.caribbeanstudiesassociation.org/. 

For help with translation or information on suggested topics, CSA travel grants, visas, submissions forms, author celebration and literary salon, contact Karen Flynn or Keithley Woolward at [email protected] or the secretary at [email protected].

CSA 2015 Film and Visual & Performing Arts Committee Call for Proposals


The CSA 2015 Film and Visual & Performing Arts Committee invites proposals from filmmakers, visual and performing artists, and scholars and graduate students to submit proposals for films and other visual modes of expression—as well as papers about films and the visual arts—that engage the CSA 2015 conference theme: The Caribbean in an Age of Global Apartheid: Fences, Boundaries, and Borders – Literal and Imagined. The location of the 40th conference of the CSA, which convenes in New Orleans, May 25 to 29, is an ideal cultural and dialogical space for exploring how arts and culture relate to issues facing the African diaspora and the Caribbean today.

Proposals that explore the intersections of historical and current artistic expressions of Caribbean and U.S. creole identities are encouraged as well as those from filmmakers and artists who have illustrated the intersection of the cultures of the Caribbean Basin and New Orleans to create unique expressions that critically filter our perceptions of socio-cultural identity. It is hoped that a platform is created for a profound discourse involving identity, religion, the arts and culture, political economy, media and communication, such artistic forms being historical and contemporary forays into the region’s politics and economies.


Submissions are welcomed that not only challenge the harmony implied by previous paradigms of plurality but speak to the cleavages created by the fences, boundaries, and borders defending hierarchies of race, class, gender, sexuality and language, as well as to the new contradictory syntheses that defy those limits. Equally, we seek proposals addressing the role of film and art in reflecting, shaping/defining, complicating and/or integrating the plurality of the people and environments in the Caribbean, its diasporas and the New Orleans area.

Abstracts of 250 words are invited; please use the guidelines for panel/paper proposals listed in the general Call for Papers.  Send proposals for films or film-related panels no later than December 15, 2015, to Terry-Ann Jones at [email protected] and those related to visual or performing arts to Jan DeCosmo at [email protected].


Lisa Allen-Agostini and Diana MacAulay Selected for Trading Tales

22/7/2014

 
The Commonwealth Games provides a unique opportunity for Scotland to explore its cultural heritage with the wider Commonwealth. Glasgow’s Mitchell Library hosts a vast collection of original archival material relating to Scotland’s shared history with the Caribbean, forged in many ways in the 1750s by the North Atlantic Slave Trade. The Caribbean has dispersed archives and resources though not, as yet, coherent collections on this topic.

The British Council is working with the Mitchell Library (Glasgow, Scotland) and a local Caribbean partner to convene an ambitious residency programme for writers of historical fiction from both places to explore this relationship. Two Caribbean writers from the Commonwealth will take up residence at Mitchell Library for three weeks with a creative brief to explore and respond to the archive of original source material from the time period. One Scottish writer will head to Trinidad for three weeks, one spent in the company of literature networks in Port of Spain and a further two of independent travel to visit dispersed resources across the Caribbean region and do the same. Writers will publicly explore the relationship between the two places and the craft of weaving history into their stories.

The writers from the Caribbean (Lisa Allen-Agostini & Diana MacAulay) will be at the Mitchell Library from 11 August – 31 August and the outgoing writer (Jane Harris) will be in the Caribbean from 1st September - 21st September.
