Beschreibung

In this course we will read and discuss texts by classic post-colonial scholars (Said, Hall, Spivak) and learn about social movements in the global South. We will discuss  implications of (neo-)colonialism for transnational activism and social movements.

As we cannot meet in person, I will post questions to each text on owncloud, which you should answer as homework. Please send me your answers by e-mail by the end of April (30th of April).

For the maps and videos that we planned to analyse in the second half of each day (21st and 22nd of April), I will also post folders and links on ownCloud with instructions of what to think about in your analyses.

On Tuesday, 21st at 9:15 - so at the time we had planned to meet in person - I will start a jitsi-video-call. Everyone who intends to take this class: please join the platform at this day and time to get updated about the plan for both days, about the exercises and to be able to ask questions. Everyone who cannot participate at this exacte date and time, but wants to take part in the class, please send an e-mail before that date.
