Café da Noite à Trincheira Firme da Revolução: Uma História da Rádio em Angola, Colóquio Marissa Moorman, Associate Professor of History, Indiana UniversityTerça-feira, 21 de Junho, 18h00Auditório 2, Torre BFac. Ciências Sociais e Humanas
Dr. Moorman is a historian of southern Africa whose research focuses on the intersection between politics and culture in colonial and independent Angola. Her book Intonations explores how music was a practice in and through which Angolans living under extreme political repression imagined the nation and how the particularities of music and historical moment cast this process of imagining in gendered terms. Drawing on interviews with musicians and consumers of music, prof. Moorman explores how memory, experience and pleasure shape politics and history. She also demonstrates how cultural practice is productive of politics and not just derivative of it. Today’s talk is about her new research into the relationship between the technology of radio and the shifting politics of southern Africa as anti-colonial movements established independent states in the context of a region newly charged by Cold War politics.
