Le s\u00e9jour de recherche de Duduzile Ndlovu<\/strong> se concentrera sur les m\u00e9moires genr\u00e9es zimbabw\u00e9ennes du Gukurahundi, en s\u2019appuyant sur son travail avec des femmes migrantes \u00e0 Johannesburg. Elle explorera comment les r\u00e9cits des traumatismes collectifs influencent la sant\u00e9, le bien-\u00eatre, ainsi que les r\u00eaves, aspirations et imaginaires des individus \u2014 s’\u00e9cartant ainsi du prisme dominant de la citoyennet\u00e9 ou de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 \u00e9conomique dans les \u00e9tudes sur les migrations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Les recherches d’Annie Devenish<\/strong> explorent les processus d\u2019archivage et d\u2019exploitation des archives, et comment ceux-ci peuvent offrir des m\u00e9thodes alternatives pour l\u2019\u00e9criture et la lecture de biographies, m\u00e9thodes centr\u00e9es sur l\u2019individu intersubjectif et genr\u00e9. Son \u00e9tude de cas porte sur Phyllis Naidoo (1927\u20132013), militante anti-apartheid, avocate et \u00e9crivaine bas\u00e9e \u00e0 Durban, et s\u2019inscrit dans un projet plus large visant \u00e0 publier la correspondance de Naidoo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dr Duduzile Ndlovu<\/strong>\u2019s research visit will focus on the Zimbabwean gendered memories of Gukurahundi, drawing from her work with migrant women in Johannesburg. She will explore the nature and consequences of collective trauma narratives on health-related ruptures, well-being, dreams, aspirations and future imaginaries of individuals \u2013 moving beyond studies focusing on citizenship or economic security.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Dr Annie Devenish<\/strong>\u2019s research seeks to explore the way in which processes of collecting and archiving, and the mining of archives themselves, can offer alternative methods of life writing and reading which center the intersubjective and gendered self. Her case study focuses on Phyllis Naidoo (1927 -2013), a Durban based anti-apartheid activist, lawyer and writer, and is part of larger ongoing project to produce an edited volume of Naidoo’s correspondence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
