Subject: [Arcan-l] CFP: "I have never forgotten his words": Talking about
Indigenous Archives
*Call for Papers *(please feel free to circulate) *"I have never forgotten
his words": Talking about Indigenous Archives** *A One-Day Colloquium on
Saturday October 5, 2013* *University of Manitoba**
"My father used to say to me, 'Don't think you know everything. You will see
lots of new things and you will find a place in your mind for them all.' My
father was a very wise man and I have never forgotten his words." - William
Berens
Indigenous people have maintained their own knowledge systems since time
before memory. Innovative, adaptive, relevant, and deeply reflective of the
values and needs of their creators, these systems have been challenged by
the colonial project and face new challenges and opportunities as technology
offers both potential benefits and possible risks.
This one-day colloquium is an invitation for people interested in Indigenous
archives from many points on the imaginative and thoughtful compass to come
together, to talk, to listen, and to think about Indigenous archives.
Topics might consider the following:
? What are Indigenous archives? Who can define that? What does the act of
defining that say?
? What has been done in the past to preserve memory and ways of
knowing, what is being done today?
? What are the social, political, and personal stakes embedded in
archival traditions and archival
innovations?
? What are the relationships between self-determination and
self-determined archiving?
? Is the media the message?
? Is it true, as William J. Mitchell noted (quoted by Joan
Schwartz: Joan M. Schwartz, "`We make our
tools and our tools make us': Lessons from Photographs from the
Practice, Politics and Poetics of
Diplomatics," /Archivaria/, 40, Fall 1995, pp.40-74.) that "We make
our tools and our tools make us"?
We invite abstracts of 250 words from individuals, or in panels of three to
four individuals, for presentations on these and related topics. We welcome
presenters from all disciplines and members of the public with an interest
in Indigenous archiving, past, present, and future, to join us for this
engaging one-day Colloquium.
*Deadline to submit: Monday August 19, 2013.*
Please send your abstract with a short cv to [log in to unmask]

This colloquium is organized by the University of Manitoba Institute for the
