Cover of Beyond Sanctuary: The Humanism of a World in Motion, edited by Ananya Roy and Veronika Zablotsky. The cover features a photo of a small concrete building painted with red polka dots, set in an arid landscape under a clear blue sky. The house is part of an art installation by Álvaro Enciso, "La Casa de los Puntos Rojos." The image is placed against a black background with minimalist white and pale blue text. Small red dots accent the corners of the design.

Der Theorieblog hat einen ganz schönen Schwerpunkt zu Fanon gemacht, mit einigen guten Beiträgen von bspw. (my girl and comrade) Jeanette Ehrmann, Ina Kerner und Nicki K. Weber. Ich durfte auch einen Beitrag zu Fanon und Antifaschismus beisteuern: www.theorieblog.de/index.php/20...

PROUD FLESH:

That’s why they’re only interested in just a few pages of Black Skin, White Masks (1952).

SYLVIA WYNTER:

But they don’t want to go to the fundamental issue. Once he has said ontogeny-and-sociogeny, every discipline you’re practicing ceases to exist.

PROUD FLESH:

Isn’t it such a tragedy, what has been done to Fanon’s name? In the 1980s especially, when Fanon is revisited in academia in the West, it’s a real moment of… ignorant exploitation.

Zum 100. Geburtstag von Frantz Fanon habe ich für den @theorieblog.bsky.social "Schwarze Haut, weiße Masken" mit Sylvia Wynter gelesen. Mehr als eine Rassismustheorie gibt Fanon uns den Schlüssel zu einem anderen Genre des Menschseins angesichts der "beispiellosen Katastrophe für unsere Spezies".

Citizen and Subject

The corpus of Mahmood Mamdani, Zohran's father, is vast and rich, but his book "Citizen & Subject" was totally formative for me and many others in its analysis of the long-term legacies of colonialism in Africa (& beyond). Doubly interesting to read now.

Plakat der Veranstaltung mit dem Ankündigungstext: Angesichts der rechten Gewalt, der physischen wie der sprachlichen, verschlägt es einem förmlich die Sprache. Wie trotzdem darauf antworten, wie darüber sprechen? Welche Worte ihr entgegnen? Wie an die Opfer erinnern? Neben politischen Initiativen und kritischen Medien haben sich in der Öffentlichkeit vor allem Schriftsteller:innen und Autor:innen diesen Fragen gewidmet und das Wort ergriffen. Statt Motive und Taten in den Fokus zu stellen, entwickeln sie Text- und Sprachformen, die Menschlichkeit würdigen, kollektive Erinnerung ermöglichen sowie die Anwesenheit der Abwesenden spürbar machen wollen. In ihren Klagen über die Opfer bekommt auch die Anklage der Verbrechen eine öffentliche Stimme. Dialogische, lyrische, fiktive, dokumentarische Texte in Antwort auf rechte Gewaltverbrechen trennen ästhetische Verfahren nicht von politischen. Sie spannen Räume des gemeinsamen Nachdenkens, des Sprechens und Zuhörens, der Zuneigung und Solidarität auf. Sie machen Sprachräume zu Orten der Anteilnahme und der Kritik an der mangelhaften Aufklärung. Und sie fordern die Gewalt in der Sprache heraus, suchen nach Wegen, den verbalen Angriffen und Verhärtungen Worte der Zuneigung entgegenzusetzen.

Sprachräume der Anteilnahme. Workshop und Gespräch mit Esther Dischereit und Tunay Önder

We, members of the academic and administrative staff in institutions of higher education in Israel, call on you to act immediately to mobilize the full weight of Israeli academia to stop the Israeli war in Gaza. Israeli higher education institutions play a central role in the struggle against the judicial overhaul. It is precisely against this backdrop that their silence in the face of the killing, starvation, and destruction in Gaza, and in the face of the complete elimination of the educational system there, its people, and its structures, is so striking. Since Israel violated the ceasefire on March 18, almost 3,000 people have been killed in Gaza. The vast majority of them were civilians. Since the start of the war, at least 53,000 people have been killed in Gaza, including at least 15,000 children and at least 41 Israeli hostages. At the same time, many international bodies are warning of acute starvation – the result of intentional and openly declared Israeli government policy – as well as of the rendering of Gaza into an area unfit for human habitation. Israel continues to bomb hospitals, schools, and other institutions. Among the war’s declared goals, as defined in the orders for the current military operation “Gideon’s Chariots,” is the “concentration and displacement of the population.” This is a horrifying litany of war crimes and even crimes against humanity, all of our own doing. As academics, we recognize our own role in these crimes. It is human societies, not governments, that commit crimes against humanity. Some do so by means of direct violence. Others do so by sanctioning the crimes and justifying them, before and after the fact, and by keeping quiet and silencing voices in the halls of learning. It is this bond of silence that allows clearly evident crimes to continue unabated without penetrating the barriers of recognition. We cannot claim that we did not know. We have been silent for too long.

C.L.R. James, Lectures on The Black Jacobins (1971)

... they are concerned about food, as they have every right to be. At twelve o'clock they shut down, everywhere is closed up till two. Archives close up, "St James" closes up, off to eat. Very fine. At two o'clock, I go back. I work. The archives close at five or six. I go home."

The perfect working day according to "St" C.L.R. James:
