DESCRIPTION:This talk addresses the concept of  “Living Archives\," whic
 h has evolved from Professor Allan's ongoing research as an ethnographer\,
  filmmaker and archivist working with Palestinian refugee communities in L
 ebanon.  It builds on the Nakba Archive – a grassroots testimonial initi
 ative that has documented histories of forced expulsion of 1948 – and is
  premised on the reimagining of archive as a creative\, participatory prac
 tice that resists fixity and centers process. It draws inspiration from re
 cent shifts in how Palestinian scholars\, writers\, and artists are rethin
 king mnemonic and documentary witness practices\, and explores camp spaces
  as stateless archives\, mnemonically embodied rather than institutionally
  housed.\n\nThe talk will be preceded at 4pm by a showing of Partition\, a
  documentary directed by Professor Allan which brings together colonial fi
 lms from British Mandate Palestine with recordings from the Nakba Archive.
  \nSpeakers:\nProfessor Diana Allan (McGill University)
