SUMMARY:Formation: Land — Land\, dispossession\, agriculture\, place.
DESCRIPTION:In the second instalment of our year-long Formations programme\, delivered in partnership with Nottingham Trent University’s Postcolonial Studies Centre\, we are pleased to announce our November and December events\, under the thematic banner – Formation: Land\, focusing on land\, agriculture\, landscape\, and place. We will consider dispossession\, migration\, and ways the human and land interact\, and we invite you to think about recent innovative writing about how humans are connected with the living environment and our heritage. \n\n\n\nValentina De Riso\, ‘Indigenous-settler Relations in Canada and Land-Based Reconciliation in Lee Maracle’s Celia’s Song’\n\n\n\nWednesday 18 November 2020\, 7 pm – 8.30 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFocusing on the context of Indigenous-settler relations in Canada\, this talk considers the ways in which settler-colonialism damages the land and peoples’ relationships to it through exploitation and policies of assimilation\, dispossession\, and forced relocation aimed at erasing Indigenous identity. Drawing from Lee Maracle’s novel\, Celia’s Song\, and from Indigenous philosophies of relationality that posit a complex system of relations between peoples and more-than-human beings (animal\, plants\, ecosystems)\, Valentina explores how restoring sustainable relationships to the Earth is crucial for establishing and maintaining peaceful relationships between Indigenous peoples and settlers in Canada. \n\n\n\nClick here to watch via our Youtube \n\n\n\nBook launch: Jenni Ramone\, Postcolonial Literatures in the Local Literary Marketplace: Located Reading\n\n\n\nTuesday 8 December 2020\, 6.30 pm – 8 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInterviewed by Bethan Evans\, AHRC Midlands 4 Cities funded doctoral candidate at NTU. \n\n\n\nIn this event\, Jenni discusses the significance of reading for understanding place (Cuba\, Nigeria\, the UK\, and India)\, and some of the fascinating publishing and reading locations explored in the book. You can purchase a copy of the book here. \n\n\n\nClick here to watch via out Youtube \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nLandscape Writing: Creative Writing Workshop with NTU’s Postcolonial Studies Centre writer-in-residence Eve Makis\n\n\n\nWednesday 25 November 2020\, 6.30 pm – 8pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin a session with Eve Makis exploring urban and rural landscape writing. Learn how to evoke a landscape using your senses\, taking inspiration from the works of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Elif Shafak. All levels welcome. \n\n\n\nEve Makis is the author of four novels\, a life-writing guide\, and an award-winning screenplay. She teaches fiction on the MA Creative Writing course at Nottingham Trent University\, where she is writer in residence for the Postcolonial Studies Centre. \n\n\n\nAll participants will get the chance to have their work edited and included in a planned NTU anthology. \n\n\n\nLonging to Belong: student-led conference on ‘Belonging’\n\n\n\nWednesday 9 December\, 9.30 am – 4.30 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a conference curated by a collective of second year NTU English students\, centred around Elizabeth-Jane Burnett’s The Grassling. \n\n\n\nThe title of the conference\, ‘Longing to Belong’\, raises questions surrounding our relationship with the term ‘belonging’. It focuses on writers from the diaspora\, as we believe that their relationship with belonging is a unique and under-represented experience. Featuring three guest speakers; Eve Makis\, Panya Banjoko and Helen Cousins. \n\n\n\nClick here to watch via our Youtube \n\n\n\nFrom Brixton to Jamaica with the acclaimed novelist Alex Wheatle – in conversation with Eve Makis\n\n\n\nThursday 10 December 2020\, 6.30 pm – 7.30 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEve Makis will be interviewing Alex Wheatle about his recently published YA fiction book\, The Cane Warriors. \n\n\n\nA prolific writer\, Alex has had success in many forms including lyrics\, poetry\, short stories\, plays and novel writing for adults and children. His work has been influenced by Brixton\, where he grew up\, his Jamaican heritage\, and his experiences of living in the Shirley Oaks Children’s Home. He developed a hearty reading habit during his time in prison after the Brixton riots and has never looked back. Alex’s latest Young Adult novel\, The Cane Warriors\, published to critical acclaim in October\, is based on the true story of a slave uprising on a sugar cane plantation in Jamaica in the 1700s. In 2008\, Alex was awarded an MBE for services to literature and later won the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize for his book\, Crongton Knights. \n\n\n\nAlex’s life story was filmed as part of the mini-series\, Small Axe\, created and directed by Steve McQueen (director of Twelve Years a Slave) and shown on BBC One last Sunday. \n\n\n\nClick here to watch via our Youtube
