Claiming Children's Rights: Children and the 'Culture of Constitutionalism' in Uganda's Pri... - 0 views
-
In efforts to educate the country's populace about the provisions of the 1995 constitution, the Ugandan government has co-opted children as their messengers in the National Primary School Music, Dance, and Drama Festival. In the festival, children act as symbols stewards of traditional culture and the nation's political future. While their performances are effective vehicles through which to spread a �culture of constitutionalism,' children note the paradoxes of their own performances, in which they are coerced into conforming to idealized notions of free and happy childhoods under oppressive adult authority. In response, many utilize the festival stage to launch bold social critiques of the contradictions between traditional values and the new constitutionalism, especially in regards to children. They thus employ performative strategies to specifically promote children's rights.

As studies of African and Afro-Caribbean performance have acquired a wider relevance during the last decade, it is now time to examine the diverse critical approaches currently being practiced within these fields.

The conference's program will bring together a diverse array of presenters from Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, and the United States who deal with topics that include--among others--dance, drama, community theater, the links between social justice and performance, rituals, religious events, diasporas, carnival, and intercultural barterings.
