Alanis Obomsawin : the vision of a native filmmaker
In more than twenty powerful films, Abenaki filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin has waged a brilliant battle against the ignorance and stereotypes that Native Americans have long endured in cinema and television. In this book, the first devoted to any Native filmmaker, Obomsawin receives her due as the central figure in the development of indigenous media in North America. Incorporating history, politics, and film theory into a compelling narrative, Randolph Lewis explores the life and work of a multifaceted woman whose career was flourishing long before Native films such as Smoke Signals reached the screen. He traces Obomsawin’s path from an impoverished Abenaki reserve in the 1930s to bohemian Montreal in the 1960s, where she first found fame as a traditional storyteller and singer. Lewis follows her career as a celebrated documentary filmmaker, citing her courage in covering, at great personal risk, the 1991 Oka Crisis between Mohawk warriors and Canadian soldiers. We see how, since the late 1960s, Obomsawin has transformed documentary film, reshaping it for the first time into a crucial forum for sharing indigenous perspectives. Through a careful examination of her work, Lewis proposes a new vision for indigenous media around the globe: a “cinema of sovereignty” based on what Obomsawin has accomplished.

Acting Out Justice in J. J. Steinfeld’s “Courtroom Dramas”
The article provides an interpretation of “Courtroom Dramas,” a short story from J. J. Steinfeld’s fiction collection Would You Hide Me? (Gaspereau, 2003). First, the paper examines Steinfeld’s articulation of traumatic loss, and interprets the trial in “Courtroom Dramas” as a means for a grandson to mourn his deceased grandmother and (through memory of her) others unknown to him in the Holocaust. Here the fictional account of loss interacts productively with various theoretical models prevalent in the field of trauma studies. Second, historical justice issues embedded in this Holocaust story are revealed. Steinfeld’s fiction is situated, finally, within a body of auto-ethnographic writing on the Nazi genocide, work foregrounding trans-generational memory. Cet article offre une interprétation de Courtroom Dramas, une nouvelle du recueil de J. J. Steinfield, Would You Hire Me? (Me cacheriez-vous ?) (Gaspereau, 2003). Il porte d’abord sur la manière dont Steinfeld exprime une perte dramatique et présente une interprétation du procès dans Courtroom Dramas comme un moyen pour le petit-fils de faire le deuil sa grand-mère décédée et (en se souvenant d’elle) de celui d’autres victimes de l’holocauste qu’il n’a pas connues. Une interaction productive se fait ici jour entre l’exposé de la perte dans une œuvre de fiction et divers modèles théoriques prévalant dans le domaine des études de traumatismes. En second lieu, l’article révèle des questions de justice historique enchâssées dans cette histoire de l’holo-causte. Enfin, il situe la nouvelle de Steinfeld dans l’ensemble des écrits auto-ethnographiques sur le génocide nazi, un travail qui met en avant la mémoire transgénérationnelle.
