Description:
Intrigued by questions of decoloniality, memory, emotions, and resistance, the papers in this panel aim to unearth the current systemic violence affecting Indigenous communities around the world. Territorial struggles of Indigenous and minoritized peoples unfold concurrently in entwined material and discursive spheres, aiming to decolonize both territory and Indigenous (territorial) knowledges (Daigle, 2018; Halvorsen, 2019; Jazeel, 2016; Radcliffe, 2017). Informed by feminist geopolitics’ concerns with embodied resistance, the panel seeks to highlight the lived experiences of racialized, minoritized, gendered, and sexualized bodies to traverse borders, make space/place, and produce grounded knowledge (Naylor 2017). The panel also aims to shed light on the corporal experiences that connect to memory and sites of memory formation and memorialization of cultural and art production as forms of resistance. We center and learn from Indigenous movements’ epistemologies, and testimonios to examine everyday acts of decolonization. Our aim is to present ongoing dialogues of transformative and embodied memory production to challenge the settler colonial and internal colonial projects.
The panel seeks to discuss the following questions, among others:
How or in what way(s) our research is connected to territorial struggles?
What are marginalized formations of knowledge associated with such territorial struggles?
How do emotional geographies support, problematize, and explicate relational affects between the researcher and participants?
What are the intellectual and material configurations of current discussions about decolonization in academia?
How can our research amplify decolonial agendas and discussions?
What are some barriers and inspirations for decolonial discussions?
