Performing Cartography Registration

[Performing Cartography]

Hello friends and colleagues,

In less than a month, the York University Theatre and Performance Studies
annual graduate symposium, "Performing Cartography" will take place, on 29
April 2016.  The official schedule for the day will be posted within the
next couple of weeks; we are currently in the process of mapping and
(re)mapping our wonderful presenters and performers. Registration
information is included on the website and on our poster, attached in this
email.

We very much hope that you can join us at our locale, to contribute to our
thinking through the symposium's themes.



*Keynote:* Dr. Mishuana Goeman

*Symposium Date: *April 29th, 2016

*Location: *Traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy,

Wendat Nation, Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation

and the Métis Nation of Ontario

York University, Toronto, Ontario.

As we move towards Canada's 150th birthday (2017) and its subsequent
celebration, it is important to look back and consider the circumstances
surrounding that birth. While carving out its own space, Canada violently
displaced and dispossessed Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island. One of the
ways this displacement and dispossession was (and continues to be) enacted
is through the cartographic eye of the colonizer. Thinking about the
performative act of cartography and how it has helped shape the settler
state Canada, this symposium inquires what performance and indigenous forms
of mapping can contribute to embodied or other alternative forms of mapping.
