For ICAF 2023, dr. Emilie Diouf and Amina Seck join forces to combine their academic, artistic and activist work to present a workshop exploring creative responses to gender-based violence in Africa.  They will pay particular attention to how cross-cultural and transnational collaborations between artists, scholars and marginalised communities can be conducted as an ethical collaboration, informed by decolonial perspectives and an awareness of scales of privilege. For this, Emilie and Amina will draw particular attention to the practices of ubuntu<\/em> and gender justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Emilie Diouf is Assistant Professor at the Department of English at Brandeis University, Boston. Her research and teaching reflects her interdisciplinary background in African Literature, African American and African Studies, as well as Women\u2019s and Gender Studies. Emilie is interested in the relationship between narrative, migration, trauma, and human rights, and particularly in expanding the field of trauma studies to include more substantially the voices of African women refugees. Emilie uses trauma theory to explore the ways in which African women survivors of civil war and genocide narrate the large-scale violence inflicted upon them. Alongside her academic work, Emilie also works as a feminist activist, particularly in her own context of Senegal. There, Emilie is part of a feminist collective, contributes to feminist platforms, and has organised the Festival of Women\u2019s Writing and the country\u2019s very first Women\u2019s Book Fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amina Seck is a specialised author and screenwriter. She published her first novel “Mauvaise Pente” with Diaspora Acad\u00e9mie Editions in 2017. She also participated in the collective work on the Queens of Africa, “Martyr Luther Queens,” in 2018 and wrote and directed a short film on the practices of female genital mutilation; “Impure”, filmed in S\u00e9gou, Mali in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, Amina founded “Les Cultur’Elles,” which is an agency for the promotion of women’s art and culture. Her agency aims to highlight all women who evolve in the cultural milieu, by organising training, capacity building workshops, artistic residencies, symposia, and the production of collective works of art for women. She is the initiator of the Dakar Women’s Book Fair, which will be in its second edition in May 2023. A feminist activist, she is a founding member of the Platform of Feminists of Senegal and the Diaspora.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Emilie Diouf\u2019s research and teaching reflect her interdisciplinary background in African Literature, African American and African Studies, as well as Women\u2019s and Gender Studies. She is interested in the relationship between narrative, migration, trauma, and human rights, particularly expanding the field of trauma studies to include more substantially the voices of African women refugees. Since African women refugees trauma narratives represent subjectivities shattered by violence, they are imbricated into the socio-economic and political transits of cultural production, circulation, and reception. She uses trauma theory to explore the ways in which African women survivors of civil war and genocide narrate the large-scale violence inflicted upon them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emilie\u2019s research in African women\u2019s literature forms a bridge to Francophone Caribbean Women's literature, and to black feminist theory. Comparisons of various women\u2019s cultural productions across the African Diaspora enhance critical inquiry into systemic violence and the promotion of gender justice. Emilie is interested in diversifying the field of feminist studies through cross cultural analysis that allows us to rethink new feminist paradigms that could take into consideration Black women\u2019s unique conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
