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.
