Urban Hymns

YOUNG AND HUNGRY PRESENTS
URBAN HYMNS BY MIRIA GEORGE
BATS THEATRE
9:30 P.M.
JULY 10-25


WRITTEN by Miria George (And What Remains, He Reo Aroha)
DIRECTED by Fiona Truelove (His Mother's Son, U got bush)
URBAN HYMNS is about the time in life when our choices start to define us. Money talks in Joseph’s neighbourhood and the market place rules. But when he can no longer make the cut Joseph turns to Tobias for an answer and together they make the first worst decision of their lives. Survival and greed, art and music, drugs and crime – in URBAN HYMNS everyone is searching for their own particular version of freedom.

Kanaky/ New Caledonia literature

Moving Behind and Beyond Lines in the Sand of Kanaky/ New Caledonia: A Reading of Claudine Jacques’s Le cri de l’acacia (2007)



The next School of Languages and Cultures Research Seminar will be given next Thursday by Dr Sarah Powell of the French Programme.



Taking the quotation prefacing Claudine Jacques’s most recent collection of short stories as its point of departure, this presentation will examine the ways in which the multifarious tales of Le cri de l’acacia reflect the epigraph applied to the work as a whole.



Special interest will be paid to the movement of different communities towards and away from each other in the narratives. The degree to which characters fight, flee or befriend members of other ethnic groups will be accordingly considered in the framework of the Noumea Accords (1998).





Sarah Powell is a Teaching Fellow in the French Programme in the School of Languages and Cultures. She has recently been awarded a PhD for her research into the literature of Kanaky/ New Caledonia, and has published several articles on this topic.





Date: Thursday 16 October
Time: 11-11.50 am

Venue: vZ 802, von Zedlitz Building, Kelburn Parade



All welcome.
