Testimony: Memory, Trauma, Truth, Engagement
The 3rd Global Meeting
Call for Presentations
Monday 19th September - Wednesday 21st September 2016
Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom
The 3rd Global Conference on Testimony shines the spotlight on the role of
(eco-)testimony and the act of testifying in the negotiation of issues
pertaining to land rights and reconciliation processes of place-based human
rights concerns. Following on from previous meetings that highlighted the
role testimony plays in social justice and peace education, this conference
continues to explore these themes in relation to current transnational
movements focused on eco-awareness and conscious-raising. The event aims to
provide an interdisciplinary framework in which inter-disciplinary
perspectives from fields such as environmental justice, geography, history,
politics, linguistics, law, education, activism, health, the arts, business
and religion shed light on the impact of testimonial production within the
cultures of redress and transnational justice processes for both the
producers of testimony and their audience.
This call for proposals asks for consideration of testimony as used by
activists, educators, researchers, professionals, and artists working in
the field. We hope to address how testimony can foster or hinder ally-ships
across different geographies, cultures, ways of knowing, while addressing
past histories of violations and abuses of human rights:
- Geo-political and eco-testimonies
- Testimony as narrative therapy (i.e. scriptotherapy)
- Post-Truth and Reconciliation in settler societies (Canada, Australia,
United States, etc.)
- Inter-generational trauma
- Testimony and indigenous ways of knowing
- Testimony and cultures of change
- Embodiments of testimonial art (poetry, painting, sculptures, body
tattooing, etc.)
- Architectures and artefacts of memorializations (gardens, murals, parks,
etc.)
- Residential Schools, forced adoptions, disintegration of the family,
femicides
- States of exception (non-landed refugees, non-citizenship, migration,
etc.)
- Indentured labour and hidden sites of slavery (present and past)
- Healing and recovery: survivor groups; communal/personal resilience
- Cultures of redress: personal, collective
- Political persecution and torture
- Challenges of truth and reconciliation commissions
- Culture of acknowledgement
- Human rights and social justice: social activism and awareness
- Methodologies and pedagogies of testimony
- Social media: twitter, Facebook, Youtube
