We will show the film "Concerning Violence. Nine Scenes of Antiimperialist Self-Defense" by Göran Hugo Olsson with a foreword by Gayatri C. Spivak (English original w. German subtitles). This review of African liberation movements in Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau and Angola combines archival images with texts by philosopher and resistance fighter Frantz Fanon. He confronts us with haunting questions about racist violence, anti-imperialist resistance and colonial continuities.
In the following discussion Matti Traußneck (Phillips-Uni Marburg) and Miriam Yosef (Justus-Liebig-University Giessen) locate the film aesthetically, historically and socially. Caro Zieringer (University of Bremen) will moderate the conversation.
Together with the audience, we will consider what de-coloniality meant, what de-coloniality meant "yesterday" and who can practice it "today" and how. How can de/colonization be thought with Fanon? What are the dis/continuities? To what extent can Fanon help us to think critique of racism and anti-Semitism together? What impulses do intersectional perspectives and critiques give to Fanon's work? What
role does theory (not) play in this? And how could a de-colonial praxis work at the university?
