GMTFrom ‘Displacements’ to ‘In Flux’— Challenging Narratives through Artistic
ExperimentationIndependent visual artist and photographer Marie Ange Bordas
presents some of her previous work and projects amongst refugee communities to
explore how her perception on narrative building has been evolving through the
years and how her key concerns have moved from ‘displacements’ to ‘in flux’.
She will share her dialogic and participatory approach in her search for
intimacy between her own subjectivity, the people involved in her projects, and
the public. Dealing with issues of displacement, memory, loss and recovery,
Marie Ange articulates the individual and collective through personal
experiences and its social implications, trying to create space for discussion.
The format for the webinar will be a presentation and Q & A.To register for

November 6, 201512 pm EDT/5 pm GMTTrafficking Narratives of Enslavement and
Forced MigrationCo-presenters Wendy Hesford and Amy Schuman, both Professors of
English at Ohio State University, describe their different approaches to
narrative using a recent New York Times article, “Enslaving Young Girls,” as an
exemplar of the trafficking of sexual humanitarianism in international news
media and the prominence of the figure of the sexually violated non-Western
female as both exceptional and representative. Wendy will discuss the concept
of "trafficking sexual humanitarianiTsm." Amy will look at the role of personal
accounts in these narratives and at the ways that the different characters are
positioned in the stories. Their approaches are compatible but they employ
different conceptual and methodological tools. The format for the webinar will
be a presentation and Q & A.To register for this (free) webinar, please follow
