Présentation

En raison de la fermeture administrative du campus de Nanterre, le séminaire prévu ce vendredi 9 octobre est annulé.

Avec Richard Kent Wolf (Professor of Music and South Asian studies, université de Harvard) et Jonathan Larcher (Cinéaste et anthropologue, HAR / UPN)

Profitant du passage à Paris de notre collègue Richard Wolf, le CREM propose une séance autour de deux de ses films. La discussion sera animée par Jonathan Larcher.  

two poets and a riverTwo Poets and a River (2021, 75 mn)
Using the Oxus river as a topos, this film explores themes of love and loss through the lives and musical poetry of two Wakhi musicians: Qurbonsho in Tajikistan and Daulatsho in Afghanistan. These two poet-singers share a common language and faith yet remain separated by vicissitudes of the 19th c. Great Game in Central Asia, whereby the Wakhan homeland of the Wakhi people became a buffer zone between Russia and the British Empire. The river Oxus, running right through the center of Wakhan, demarcated this zone. After the USSR and Afghanistan shored up their boundaries circa 1930, the communities on each side of the river became firmly severed from one another. The condition of being separated by a river grounds the poets’ discussions of love and loss in their own lives as well as in their musical arts. The film was shot and produced over 2.5 years (2012-2020) with the editorial collaboration of both Qurbonsho and Daulatsho, who narrate the film in Wakhi, Tajik and Dari.

Solar Light (work in progress, ca. 25mn)
The film documents Kota reflections on a project to introduce solar powered lights into the Kota village of Kolmel in 1992, and in the process, the author's own research and relationship with the Kota people over the past 36 years.

Pour cette séance, nous serons dans la salle de cinéma du bâtiment Weber (où malheureusement la machine à pop-corns est en panne).
