Toward a non – Eurocentric Academia: Border Thinking and Decoloniality from Africa and Asia to Europe and the Americas

SUMMER INSTITUTE
UNC, CHAPEL HILL AND DUKE UNIVERSITY (U.S.A), MAY 14-22, 2016

In May 2016, the Summer Institute Toward a non-Eurocentric Academia: Border Thinking and Decoloniality, will assemble advanced graduate students and junior scholars from different parts of the world to create a platform for crosscutting, inter-sectional, and trans-disciplinary research that seeks to think through the contemporary crisis of post-colonial epistemologies with a focus on border making, border contestation and new border imaginations. The workshop will aim to re-evaluate the state of humanities and social sciences in a non-Eurocentric global order today. The terms ‘Decoloniality, Borders, Borderthinking, Borderlands’ will not only be approached in their immediate political and physical sense, but also as tropes of thinking about the complexity of modern human experience that can not be understood with the analytical tools of civilizational, national and religious containers. Gathering contributions from Gender Studies, Black Studies, Religious Studies, Post-colonial Studies and Decolonial Thinking the workshop will offer various theoretical critiques rooted in multiple humanities and social science fields, yet exceeding them in their significance.

Comunicado del Sindicato Popular de Vendedores Ambulantes sobre las Conclusiones de la Mesa de Ciudad

A día de hoy la represión ha sido la única política que ha sido capaz de desplegar el actual gobierno. La Guardia Urbana y policía secreta nos vigilan y acosan todos los días, sobre todo a los compañeros portavoces del Sindicato, buscando intimidar y desmovilizarnos. Además, ahora esta persecución será en colaboración con los Mossos d’Esquadra. También queremos informar que se está castigando la solidaridad de las personas y colectivos que nos apoyan en esta lucha, realizando identificaciones sin razón.

La frontera como centro. Zonas del ser y del no ser.

La frontera tiende a expanderse: explosiona en subcontratas a terceros países e implosiona en fronteras interiores, en dispositivos de control, detencion y desaparición... es decir; tiende a ocupar la totalidad del sistema y devenir centro. A la sombra de la frontera como sistema se crea el prototipo de una sociedad totalitaria[...]

kronotop.org / online archive of video-interviews

Understanding practice as a network of connections from one theoretical point to another, and theory as a network of connections between one practice and another, kronotop.org is conceptualized as a research project committed to action, theoretical and practical.

With the intention to relate art, activism, politics and critical theory, and in the search for situations that encourage dialogue and collaborative networks, kronotop.org opens a collective space to think about the politics of positioning, critical interventions, limits of representation, as well as current conditions of art production and distribution. It is is a space for sharing ideas which can be rethought, rearticulated, expanded or used by other persons or groups in different contexts of their political actions.

Continuarem construint poder popular

A La Base estem acomiadant-nos del nostre estimat company, amic i camarada Pablo Molano Romero, que diumenge va marxar. Continuarem construint poder popular, amb la seva energia, la seva potència, amb els milers de projectes, de somnis i de lluites, tal i com hem après a fer juntes...

Politika, estetika in demokracija je zbornik, nastal iz prispevkov za mednarodni kolokvij z enakim naslovom, ki smo ga leta 2015 priredili na ZRC SAZU v Ljubljani. Organizatorja kolokvija sta bila Filozofski inštitut ZRC SAZU in AVA, Akademija za vizualne umetnosti v Ljubljani. Avtorice in avtorja prispevkov te znanstvene publikacije druži horizont sodobne teorije in filozofije, ne nazadnje tudi kritika globalnega kapitalizma. Ta kritika je nastajala že pred krizo, v obdobju pred letom 2008, ko smo bili med redkimi, ki – kot se je takrat govorilo – nismo videli vseh »prednosti kapitalizma«. Apolitični horizont in divji turbo neoliberalizem, ki ga je mogoče zgoščeno opisati s sintagmo maksimizacija smrti in maksimizacija dobička, kar je Achille Mbembe že leta 2003 imenoval nekropolitika, sta se vkopala pred našimi vrati, medtem ko je pri delavski mezdni večini nekropolitika že v kuhinji. Tako so se začeli celo največji teoretični omahljivci sklicevati na kritiko politične ekonomije in na radikalizirane oblike biopolitike.

Queer Migrations. Sexuality, U.S. Citizenship, and Border Crossings
