A GLOBAL DIALOGUE ON THE EVERYDAY PRODUCTION OF THE POSTCOLONIAL WORLD AND ITS OTHERS
May 10– 12, 2017, HUMBOLDT UNIVERSITÄT ZU BERLIN

This “encounter” aims at starting a critical dialogue between the Global South and all other cultures outside the West beyond traditional dichotomies. We seek to have a conversation on postcolonial practices and decolonizing strategies anchored in everyday experiences. We are fundamentally interested in travelling ideas and experiences and how these traverse borders regardless of rigid conceptual definitions.

Confirmed Speakers Include:

David Theo Goldberg (University of California); Anne Huffschmid (Lateinamerika-Institut Freie Universität Berlin); Gabriel de Santis Feltran (UFScar and Centro de Estudos da Metrópole/Brazil); Sérgio Costa (Lateinamerika-Institut Freie Universität Berlin); AbdouMaliq Simone (Max Planck Institute/ African Centre for Cities); Samah Saleh (An-Najah National University); Boike Rehbein (Institut für Asien- und Afrikawissenschaften, HU Berlin); Julia O’Connell Davidson (School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies, Bristol); Uli Stelzner (iskacine); Anthony Gardner (The Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford)
