DESCRIPTION:Doctoral Colloquium: Adalyat Issiyeva (guest speaker\, musicolo
 gy)\n\nTitle:  'Between Two Fires: Uyghurs under Cultural Oppression in Ch
 ina and Russia'\n\nAbstract: For many decades\, due to their precarious ge
 opolitical situation\, Uyghurs have been the subjects of colonial treatmen
 t\, which includes territorial dispossession\, displacement\, exploitation
  of land and human resources\, and excessive social\, cultural\, and polit
 ical control. Living between and under two powerful totalitarian regimes –
  the Soviet Union and China – they’ve been denied the right to live and pr
 actice their traditional customs and culture\, including music. This talk 
 will explore various past and present efforts to assimilate\, sanitize\, a
 ppropriate\, and transform Uyghur culture into a simplified and exoticized
  form\, aimed at alluring foreign tourists and settlers. It will also addr
 ess the similarities in Stalin’s and Xi’s policies of deliberate manipulat
 ion and erasure of Uyghur history and identity\, as well as the Uyghurs’ a
 ttempts to challenge the dominant nationalist narrative.\n\nAdalyat Issiye
 va is a faculty member at Concordia and 91Ö±²¥ Universities. As a represen
 tative of a Uyghur community raised in Soviet Kazakhstan\, she has always 
 been interested in exploring how the voices of minorities are woven into t
 he polyphonic texture of a multi-ethnic empire. Her book Representing Russ
 ia’s Orient: from Ethnography to Art Song\, which received a CHOICE Outsta
 nding Academic Title award\, addresses how ethnographies\, music\, and lit
 erary works from and about Russia’s periphery helped to shape Russian cult
 ural and musical identity. Her most recent study focuses on the state-regu
 lated construction of musical identities for ethnic minorities during the 
 Stalin era.\n\nNOTE: Disruptions to the metro/bus schedule are planned for
  Mondays\, Wednesdays and Fridays. After afternoon rush hour service\, the
 re will be an interruption until 11 pm. Please consult the STM website and
  plan accordingly. We will start the presentation exactly at 4:30 in order
  to end well before 6:00.\n\nThe Doctoral Colloquium is open to all.\n
