Screening of “Searching for Winnetou” and discussion with Ojibway director Drew Hayden Taylor, Embassy of Canada, Berlin

The Embassy of Canada in Berlin cordially invites you to a screening of the documentary film

“Searching for Winnetou” and discussion with Ojibway director Drew Hayden Taylor

on Friday, November 18th @ 5 pm

Live at the Embassy of Canada, Leipziger Platz 17, 10117 Berlin

In SEARCHING FOR WINNETOU, Drew Hayden Taylor explores the controversy surrounding cultural appropriation of Indigenous culture in German speaking Europe – with humor and not without empathy. The title of the documentary refers to the 19th century author Karl May and his series of WINNETOU novels, which sparked German fascination with First Nations peoples.

Drew Hayden Taylor is an Ojibway award-winning playwright from the Curve Lake First Nations, in Central Ontario. As journalist, short-story writer, novelist, and filmmaker, he has worked over two decades on exploring and documenting the Native experience. https://www.drewhaydentaylor.com/

The film screening (45 minutes, ENG O.V.) will be followed by Q&A session, moderated by Isabelle Poupart, Chargée d’affaires a.i. of Canada to Germany.

We invite you to join us for an informal reception after the event.

Doors open at 4:30 pm.

All attendees are required to perform a COVID-19 rapid antigen self-test (within the last 24 hours) OR a PCR test (within the last 48 hours).

Journée d’étude « Modernités connectées : Québec-Allemagne 1900-2000. Transferts littéraires, culturels et intellectuels » (en présentiel)

Dans le cadre du projet « Modernités connectées : QuébecAllemagne 19002000 », qui
met l’accent sur les transferts entre l’Allemagne et le Québec dans les domaines de la lit
rature, de la culture et des idées, nous organisons une première journée d’études visant à
faire émerger certaines configurations paradigmatiques structurant les rapports entre les
deux aires culturelles en cause. Résolument exploratoire, cette journée d’études compor
tera deux volets : le premier s’attachera surtout aux agents des transferts culturels, cher
chant à mettre au jour les médiations opérées par certains « passeurs culturels » entre le
Québec et l’Allemagne (Robert Lepage, Thomas Ostermeier et la Schaubühne de Berlin,
ou Lothar Baier et HansJürgen Greif, par exemple) ; le second portera plus particulière
ment sur les formes de réception productive d’une culture par l’autre. Dans ce second volet
seront privilégiés, mais sans exclusive, les cas jusqu’ici plus négligés, comme les rapports duréalisateur Louis Godbout avec Goethe et ceux de Normand de Bellefeuille avec Thomas
Bernhard, notamment.

Veranstaltung des AmerikaHaus NRW und NAS Uni Bonn: From ‚Indianthusiasm‘ to Indigenous Studies: Personal Reflection After 50 years mit Prof. Dr. Hartmut Lutz (Universität Greifswald)

Dienstag, 18. Oktober 2022, 18 – 20 Uhr
Hauptgebäude, IAAK, 1.004 (Raum A)
Regina-Pacis-Weg 3
53113 Bonn

Looking back on over half a century of personal commitment to Native American and Canadian Indigenous Studies, I shall address the conflicted issue of German ‚Indianthusiasm‘ (deutsche Indianertümelei). Unlearning popular romantic stereotypes and racial prejudices may clear the way for a respectful and decolonizing approach, which heeds the claim by Native American, First Nation, Métis, and Inuit scholars and artists: „Nothing about us without us!“ Given the ecological disaster we are facing today, Europe and settler societies appear in dire need to learn from Indigenous knowledge keepers and storytellers to find ways for implementing Indigenous environmental ethics.

Online event: Thomas Homer-Dixon: Commanding Hope. The Power We Have to Renew a World in Peril

Wednesday, October 5, 2022, 7 p.m. live on youtube

https://www.amerikahaus.de/ausstellungen-und-veranstaltungen/2022-10-05-thomas-homer-dixon

Frightening pandemics, terrible inequality, racism and poverty, rising political authoritarianism, the inescapable climate crisis, and the resuscitated danger of nuclear war. We know the story. Some choose not to see it. Each of these crises seems so much larger than any one of us can understand or handle. Yet today, they all seem to be going critical simultaneously.

For Canadian Professor Thomas Homer-Dixon, in addition to these crises, Canada’s big neighbor to the south is becoming increasingly ungovernable, and some experts believe it could descend into civil war. In an article in the Globe and Mail in December 2021 that went viral, he asks, “How should Canada prepare?” for the case that American democracy does indeed collapse.

In Commanding Hope, Professor Thomas Homer-Dixon shows why and how we got where we are today; and most importantly, he shows the powers we possess to renew our imperiled world. Join us to hear a Canadian perspective on the U.S. midterm elections, about practical tools we can use to understand our own and others’ worldviews better, to be strategically smart in our actions, together, to take the world to a healthier, more just place.

Moderation: David Ehinger, retired Canadian diplomat and international lawyer
