#postcolonialstudies — Public Fediverse posts

Was tut der rassifizierende Blick mit denen, die er trifft? Und wie werden aus kolonialen Verhältnissen psychische Strukturen?

Frantz Fanons "Schwarze Haut, weiße Masken" beantwortet diese Fragen mit einem Buch, das Psychiatrie, Philosophie und antikoloniale Analyse in einer Weise verschränkt, die drei Jahrzehnte später zum Gründungstext der #PostcolonialStudies wurde ⬇️

Ok Mignolo and de Sousa Santos foregrounding the term "epistemic violence" in their work without once referring to Spivak is grimly ironic

Wenn Ihr auch nicht so recht wisst, warum plötzlich staatliche Repressionsgewalt als „imperial Boomerang“ bezeichnet wird (als wären Staaten nicht immer auch & vor allem Repressionsapparaturen), lest diesen Artikel von @rheinze . Man lernt, woher der der Begriff kommt, was er sinnvoll beschreibt & was eher nicht.

Dietz-Bücher schenken, Tipp 3 ❤️ In seiner historisch-kritischen Einführung ins Werk von Frantz Fanon zeigt Philipp Dorestal, wie vielschichtig und anschlussfähig es an heutige Diskussionen ist. Er befreit den antikolonialen Theoretiker und Psychiater aus verkürzten Lesarten: https://dietzberlin.de/denker-der-dekolonisation

Die Analyse und Hinterfragung historisch gewachsener oft auch zerstörerischer Strukturen wie bei der Kolonialisierung ist immens wichtig. Imperiale Lebensweise fällt mir dazu spontan ein. Würde mich freuen wenn Neuigkeiten von dem Postcolonial Studies collective aus Potsdam den Weg ins Fediverse finden
