Venue: Carleton Dominion Chalmers Centre
This talk examines recent commemorative sites honouring Angélique and the project to name a street after her. I argue that these strategies of inserting Angélique into the founding story of Montreal constitute a third mode of captivity, following the first two: her original enslavement and sale in Québec; and her arrest and public execution after her attempt to flee. I make the case that the use of toponymy and commemorative place naming in honour of Marie-Josèphe Angélique serves to transform her into a symbol of national redemption. In light of the mixed reactions to Harriet Tubman being put on the American twenty-dollar bill, and the recent debates on the place of statues and sites honouring slaveowners and colonial "heroes" throughout North America, the contribution I make to these discussions is a caution against a representational politics that uses figures of Black struggle to cleanse the national community of history and present of anti-black violence.

Date and time: Wed, 7 June 2023 17:00 - 18:30 BST Africa is grounded in diversity, people, and cultures, all three that determine how the continent is evaluated in various economic and political ways. However, considering the three factors bring about exposure to identities that are largely marginalized, either based on the disposition of a people or cultural subscriptions by which standards affect the status of other persons.
