项目摘要

This project is based on the main themes that emerged from three workshops in Nicaragua, Colombia and the UK as part of an AHRC research networking project on the opportunities and challenges associated with the UN Decade for People of African Descent (AH/P006884/1 Afro-Latin (in)visibility and the UN Decade:Cultural politics in motion in Nicaragua, Colombia and the UK).These events, held in collaboration with URACCAN in Nicaragua and Carabantú in Colombia, were designed to examine the role of media and film in brokering transnational Afrodescendant connections in the Central America-Caribbean region. We have observed how film and media often mobilise tactics which disrupt territorial borders, and how audiovisual geographies offer crucial intercultural spaces where Afrodescendants can articulate their demands to diverse constituencies and confront entrenched colonial constructions.The case of the Colombian islands of San Andrés and Providencia is exemplary due to their complex geopolitical status, as a disputed territory between Colombia and Nicaragua; their cultural, historical and linguistic connections to the Nicaraguan Caribbean coast, and their Raizal Afro people who have been systematically sidelined by the Colombian state's investments in the archipelago, through mass tourism and displacement of population, putting extra pressure on resources and the sustainability of the environment. This follow-on project, 'Visibilizing Afro Cultural Connections and Geopolitical Dynamics in Nicaragua, Colombia, San Andrés and Providencia', brings the archipelago of San Andrés into our existing network and research programme, capitalizing different audiovisual strategies aiming to de-centre the Hispanophone and Anglophone Caribbean, complicating narratives of linguistic, territorial and cultural belonging, and bringing to the fore individual and collective Afrodescendant histories in order to build transnational Afro/Creole communities through radio, film and online media.Our main aim is to document and disseminate through a participatory community media approach the cultural, historical and familial connections between Nicaragua, Colombia and the islands, making visible Afrodescendant historical connections that have been disrupted by geopolitics.Media and film can often visibilize strategies of re-identification, abetting the fragmentation of cultural ties and overcoming perceived linguistic, geopolitical and national barriers.The project involves working closely with our Afrodescendant partners and their communities on the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua (Bilwi and Bluefields), the archipelago of San Andrés and Providencia, and mainland Colombia (Bogotá and Medellin, which have relevant migrant population from the islands). Mobilizing the substantial experience of the Network in order to cascade our research findings horizontally to local Afrodescendant populations, in each of the places, we will develop a set of innovative textual and audiovisual resources via film, radio and internet that Afrodescendants can make use of in their pursuit of equality and development. As such, the funding would enable us and our partners in Nicaragua and Colombia to expand the benefits of the network to larger numbers of users and provide a set of tools that could help shape the development of public policy and political advocacy initiatives in the region. These outputs will connect explicitly to struggles for development and well-being, including those pertaining to the UN Decade for People of African Descent and the SDGs, helping Afrodescendant populations to overcome their cultural and political invisibility in their respective nation-states. This project will also enable us to develop a set of written and audiovisual texts which will, in the near future, allow us to produce a television series, co-funded by the Colombian television industry, about black historical connections between Nicaragua, Colombia and the archipelago of San Andrés.

该项目以在尼加拉瓜、哥伦比亚和英国举行的三个研讨会的主题为基础，作为 AHRC 研究网络项目的一部分，该项目涉及联合国非洲人后裔十年（AH/P006884/1 非洲-拉丁（内）可见度和联合国十年：尼加拉瓜、哥伦比亚和英国的文化政治运动）相关的机遇和挑战。这些活动是与尼加拉瓜的 URACCAN 和哥伦比亚的 Carabantú 旨在研究媒体和电影在促进中美洲-加勒比地区非洲裔跨国联系中的作用。我们观察到电影和媒体如何经常动员扰乱领土边界的策略，以及视听地理学如何提供重要的跨文化空间，非洲人后裔可以在其中向不同选民表达他们的要求并对抗根深蒂固的殖民建筑。哥伦比亚圣安德烈斯岛和普罗维登西亚岛的案例因其复杂的地缘政治地位而成为典范，作为一个有争议的国家哥伦比亚和尼加拉瓜之间的领土；他们与尼加拉瓜加勒比海岸的文化、历史和语言联系，以及他们的拉扎尔非洲人，由于哥伦比亚国家在该群岛的投资，通过大规模旅游和人口流离失所，他们被系统性地边缘化，给资源和环境的可持续性带来了额外的压力。这个后续项目“尼加拉瓜、哥伦比亚、圣安德烈斯和普罗维登西亚的非洲文化联系和地缘政治动态的可视化”将圣安德烈斯群岛纳入我们现有的网络和研究计划，利用旨在分散西班牙裔和英语裔加勒比地区中心的不同视听策略，使语言、领土和文化归属的叙述复杂化，并突出个人和集体的非洲人后裔历史，以便通过广播、电影和在线媒体建立跨国非洲人/克里奥尔人社区。我们的主要目标是通过参与性社区媒体方法记录和传播尼加拉瓜、哥伦比亚和这些岛屿之间的文化、历史和家庭联系，使被地缘政治扰乱的非洲人后裔历史联系变得可见。媒体和电影往往可以使人可见该项目涉及与尼加拉瓜加勒比海岸（比尔维和布卢菲尔兹）、圣安德烈斯群岛和普罗维登西亚群岛以及哥伦比亚大陆（波哥大和麦德林）的非洲人后裔伙伴及其社区密切合作。有来自岛屿的相关移民人口）。利用网络的丰富经验，将我们的研究成果横向推广到当地的非洲人后裔，在每个地方，我们将通过电影、广播和互联网开发一套创新的文本和视听资源，供非洲人后裔在追求平等和发展的过程中使用。因此，这笔资金将使我们以及我们在尼加拉瓜和哥伦比亚的合作伙伴能够将该网络的好处扩大到更多的用户，并提供一套可以帮助制定该地区公共政策和政治宣传举措的工具。这些产出将与争取发展和福祉的斗争明确联系起来，包括与联合国非洲人后裔十年和可持续发展目标有关的成果，帮助非洲人后裔克服其在各自民族国家中的文化和政治隐形问题。该项目还将使我们能够开发一套书面和视听文本，在不久的将来，我们将能够制作一部由哥伦比亚电视业共同资助的电视连续剧，讲述尼加拉瓜、哥伦比亚和圣安德烈斯群岛之间黑人的历史联系。
