As part of the block seminar „Afropolitanism and Afropean: belonging to Europe and The world“, the multifaceted, interdisciplinary, world-renowned Afrospanish artist Agnes Essonti Luque will participate in a discussion on her work and her understanding of the concepts of Afropolitan and Afropean. This talk is scheduled to bring students closer to the reality of multiple belongings and their impact on artistic work (in this case, the visual arts). It also demonstrates the strong commitment of the RTG Contradictions Studies to establish connections between academia and the artistic milieu.

Moderation: Nelson Sindze Wembe (RTG Contradiction Studies)

Stadt

„Die Stadt ist nicht nur ein Labor der Moderne, sondern auch ein Labor von Widersprüchen.“

Julia Lossau
anhaltendes Widersprechen

„Die Geschichte der abendländischen Philosophie lässt sich verstehen als ein anhaltendes Widersprechen und als eine anhaltende Auseinandersetzung mit Widersprüchen.“

Norman Sieroka
Illusion einer Einheit

»Foucault spricht vom Widerspruch als die Illusion einer Einheit.«

Ingo H. Warnke
artikulieren

„Widersprüche müssen artikuliert werden, damit sie existieren.“

Martin Nonhoff
Afterlife of colonialism

“Contradiction comes in many different forms. None is so debilitating than when the coloniser transitions, textually not politically, to decoloniality without taking the responsibility for the afterlife of colonialism, which they continue to benefit from. Self-examination and self-interrogation of the relations of coloniality, a necessity, seem nearly impossible for the coloniser who continues to act as beneficiary, masked in the new-found language of White fragility, devoid of an ethical responsibility of the very system of White domination they claim to be against.” (Black Consciousness and the Politics of the Flesh)
