In memoriam rašytojai Vytautei Žilinskaitei.Švedijoje vykusiame Šiaurės ir Baltijos šalių baleto ir šiuolaikinio šokio konkurse „Prix du Nord“ dviem aukso medaliais pirmą kartą konkurso istorijoje pasipuošė Lietuvos atstovės. .Susipažįstame su viena iš Kauno kultūros premijos laureačių, tarpdisciplininio meno kūrėja, savo kūryboje derinantčia video meno, skulptūros, dizaino elementų ir fotografijos medijas, Julija Pociūtė.Pasaulio kultūros apžvalgoje apie Briuselio prašymą į UNESCO nematerialaus kultūros paveldo sąrašą įtraukti dvi vietos tradicijas: marionečių teatrą ir milžinišką gėlių kilimą, taip pat žvilgsnis į šią savaitę mirusios gvadalupiečių-prancūzų rašytojos Maryse Conde palikimą, japonų rašytojos Rie Kudan kūryboje naudojamą dirbtinį intelektą bei naują airių atlikėjo Hozier muziką.Ernesto Parulskio komentaras „Džiazuojanti regionų mažuma“.„Kaskart, kai kuriu filmą, iškyla smurto tema. Manau, kinas yra mano mažas būdas suprasti smurto Balkanuose šaknis“, – sako tarp Belgrado ir Paryžiaus gyvenatis kino kūrėjas Vladimiras Perišičius.„Verčiant dalykus į tapybą, paveikslą, plokštumą, atsiranda tam tikri kompoziciniai, spalviniai elementai, kurie galbūt ne visą laiką sutaps su tuo, ką tu šneki, vaizduoji ir tuo labiau su tuo, kas bus paskui apie tai rašoma, aptarinėjama. Atsiranda tam tikras atotrūkis tarp teorijos ir praktikos, toks kaip ir šuolis“, – sako tapytoja, meno daktarė Donata Minderytė.Ved. Marius Eidukonis

This week we read and discussed My Garden (Book): by Jamaica Kincaid. It's memoir, it's essays, it's history, it's botany, it's maybe not what you'd normally choose to read if you're a fan of our typical fare, but it has a lot of great ideas to think and talk about. You should still read Jamaica Kincaid even if this one isn't for you. Becca recommends the novel Lucy or another work of nonfiction about her home, Antigua, called A Small Place. March's prompt for the Bookstore Challenge 2024 is to read a book with a name in the title. Becca's pick, Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya, will be first. Followed by Corinne's choice: I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem by Maryse Conde. And then Becca is way ahead of us and has already chosen her read for April's prompt (Envirionmental Fiction) Latitudes of Longing by Shubhangi Swarup. ______ If you want to read along with The Bookstore Challenge 2024, you can join us on The StoryGraph to see what others are reading for each month and get ideas for your TBR: The Bookstore Challenge 2024.

Dans cette émission nous nous intéressons à la figure de la sorcière... Qu'on lui prête un nez crochu, des pouvoirs maléfiques ou une sexualité débridée, la sorcière est un objet de répulsion et de fascination depuis des siècles. Personnage mythique et historique, littéraire et artistique, elle a traversé les époques sans jamais disparaître. Dans ce premier volet " Celles qu'on désigne ", nous allons nous pencher sur l'aspect historique de la chasse aux sorcières-de la dénonciation aux persécutions, des interrogatoires aux procès-pour mieux souligner l'aspect politique de cette répression. extraits : liste de termes désignant les sorcières, l'Evangile des Quenouilles, William Perkins-chasseur de bonnes femmes, Malleus Maleficarum, procès en sorcellerie, Moi Tituba Sorcière de Maryse Conde. musiques : The good girl go to hell de Billie Eilish, La sorcière et l'Inquisiteur de Les Rita Mizouko, Burn the witch de Radiohead illustration : 3 femmes et 3 loups d'Eugène Samuel
This Is An Excerpt From The Novel I TITUBA, Black Witch of Salem, Written by Maryse Conde'! In this Book Conde' is Kind enough to grant Tituba an actual account of Her Life as a Slave born in Barbados! Something that would not have been recorded in those days. This book details some of the Events of the SALEM WITCH TRIALS! She would have wanted to be known as more than just: “Tituba, a slave originating from the West Indies and probably practicing ‘hoodoo.'” This Excerpt takes place in Barbados.
Today Chelsey and Sara are kicking off the spooky season by discussing The Crucible by Arthur Miller—a play about the infamous Salem witch trials. We get pretty nerdy in this episode. Full of drama, history, and high school English class nostalgia, this play was so much fun to talk about! Chelsey shares details from her immersive high school reading experience, Sara shares memories of teaching the book (and the movie), and we share absorbing reads to pair with the themes, history, and tone of the play. Plus, we discuss implications and complexities for discussing and teaching this play during the Me Too era. Our discussion includes: How the play conveys (or villainizes) feminine power and gender roles [9:20] Complicated feelings about Abigail Williams & John Proctor [14:00] What IS a crucible? [20:21] Speculating why there are lots of witchy books on the publishing calendar right now [29:45] Plus, as always, we’re recommending six contemporary books to pair with our classic, including a comedic novel set in the 1980’s and a murder mystery set on the Plymouth Plantation.

What do gingerbread houses in Haiti teach us about the construction of identity in the French Caribbean? How do hurricanes and earthquakes reveal the connections between the tangible built environment and intangible notions of identity? Architextual Authenticity: Constructing Literature and Literary Identity in the French Caribbean (Liverpool University Press, 2017) examines these questions in a rich body of works from Haiti, Guadeloupe and Martinique. The book proposes two key concepts to aid in our understanding of Caribbean writers’ construction of identity in their literary works. The term “architexture” asks readers to be attentive to the building blocks of the text and the inner workings of literary works that reflect on themselves and reach out beyond their own pages to be in conversation with other writers, other texts, other stories. Authenticity underscores the ever-present specter of the colonial past and the possibilities for drawing on multiple influences (or in Herbeck’s terminology, using multiple building materials) to construct a unique and original Caribbean identity. Drawing on a range of writers including Maryse Conde, Daniel Maximin and Yanick Lahens, this book steps back from a narrow view of the finished edifice and takes in the scaffolding and mortar that holds these narratives together. Jason Herbeck is Professor of French at Boise State University. His research focuses primarily on evolving narrative forms in twentieth and twenty-first-century French and French-Caribbean literatures, and how these forms relate to expressions and constructions of identity. In addition to many articles and book chapters devoted to the literatures and histories of Haiti, Martinique and Guadeloupe, he has also published widely on Albert Camus and is, since 2009, President of the North American Section of the Societe des Etudes Camusiennes. Annette Joseph-Gabriel is an Assistant Professor of French and Francophone Studies at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Her forthcoming book, Decolonial Citizenship: Black Women’s Resistance in the Francophone World, examines Caribbean and African women’s literary and political contributions to anti-colonial movements.
