Merci Astrid pour ce relais.
It would have been very interesting for me to be there but we are in the
final run for Exil.s & Création.s on Saturday.
I copy Martin, Arkadi & Christel who are very much involved in our project
ShuHaDa, maybe they would be available to go and meet with intervenants.
Thanks for the connexion,
Regards
Milady

Zuleika Sheik on 5 June (2-4 pm) Online/S.ABC 402
Dear all,
Greetings!
The Decolonial Reading Group is pleased to invite you to our next
interactive session on ‘Reading Gloria Anzaldua’s Borderlands’ with *Prof.
Zuleika Sheik* on the *5th of June (Friday) between 2:00-4:00 pm*.
Gloria Anzaldúa’s work comes from the uneasy crossings of language, body,
land, race, gender and memory. She writes from the cracked places where
identities are forced to split. Join us as we read a text that refuses
purity, unsettles borders, and asks us to imagine knowledges from living
in-between.
Please get in touch if you don’t have access to this book.
This event will take place in a hybrid mode. *While we have the session
taking place in-person in Room. ABC.402, people can also join the session
online.*
About our reading group: why the need to have a decolonial reading group?
After the atrocities of Nazi-fascism, the Western world proclaimed that
certain rights were inherent to the very condition of being human. And yet
today, we are witnessing live-streamed genocides in Palestine, Sudan, and
Myanmar; extreme forms of state-led oppression across the world; and
deepening poverty that pushes the already marginalized further to the edge.
A decolonial reading group begins from the need to connect these dots.
These are not isolated incidents, nor distant tragedies that have little to
do with us. They are produced within the same historical and political
order that we inhabit, benefit from, resist, and reproduce in everyday life.
Decolonization helps us locate dehumanization within our historical
reality. It teaches us that in stealing another’s humanity, one also
dehumanizes oneself. Through these sessions we call for a collective
re-humanization of us all, affirming that dehumanization is not an
inevitable destiny, but the outcome of an unjust order.
To re-iterate, this session will be held on the *5th of June (Friday)
between 2:00-4:00 pm (Online/Venue: S.ABC 402)*.
To join us online, please use the following link:
Hope to see as many of you!
Thank you.
Regards,
Luisa and Richard
