Chicoutimi, 8-10 mai 2018, dans le cadre du 86e congrès de l’ACFAS, Université du Québec à Chicoutimi
Le colloque « La télévision québécoise dans tous ses états » proposera un état des lieux des télévisions au Québec en 2018, à l’ère d’une transformation des paysages médiatiques et législatif au pays. Le terme « télévisions » est ici employé au pluriel, afin de tenir compte du fait que la « télévision au Québec » recouvre de nos jours plusieurs réalités ou états distincts. Il sera donc certes question de la production québécoise francophone dominante, mais également de la production anglophone – notamment des séries canadiennes anglaises qui sont de plus en plus souvent tournées à Montréal –, ainsi que des productions télévisuelles autochtones produites au Québec. Plus généralement, cet événement s’intéressera aux trois grands pôles de la communication télévisuelle (production, contenu des émissions, réception), permettant ainsi une analyse multidimensionnelle et interdisciplinaire des enjeux qui touchent la production médiatique dans la province.

York University’s Social & Political Thought Graduate Program is pleased to invite papers and creative works for presentation at its 32nd annual conference, Strategies of Critique: Great Black North: Study, Resistance and Existence in Black. We organize this conference with an aim to understand and affirm Black experience in/of Canadian contexts where ideas of a Great White North too often prevail. Intending a scholarly intervention within an academic landscape shaped by neoliberal governance and racial capitalism, we know that we must look to challenge the academic industrial complex’s entanglements with white supremacy, settler-colonialism, enslavement, patriarchy and neoliberal logics of domination, as well as other regimes and instances of violence to understand its own “underground” constituted by Black Canadian experiences. Such modalities function to pacify or make invisible anti-racist and anti-colonial resistances within the academy. This year’s Strategies of Critique responds to the absence of a Black Canadian Studies stream as one such instance of invisibility and pacification, which must be interrogated and denaturalized. Thus it asks: what is at stake in the ongoing production of new forms of collectivity and struggle, the making and re-making of a Great Black North that exceeds the idea of Canadian experience? Under what constraints do anti-racist and anti-colonial resistances labour within the academy over questions of justice and collective liberation, and what are the various forms of intervention, academic or otherwise, through which people take up these political struggles?
The organizing committee welcomes individual and panel proposals critically engaged with Canadian experiences of Blackness, both in and outside the university contexts. We also welcome proposals from activists and community members.
