From Nausikaa Schirilla 

Die aktuelle Ausgabe der Zeitschrift polylog setzt sich kritisch mit
Interkultureller Kompetenz auseinander. Interkulturelle Kompetenz
wird in einem Nexus von Kultur, Macht und Kompetenz betrachtet.
Jürgen Bolten plädiert für Ganzheitlichkeit in interkultureller
Kompetenzvermittlung, Rolf Elberfeld argumentiert unter Rekurs auf
unter anderem Plato und Nishida, dass man an der eigenen
Selbstkompetenz arbeiten solle, bevor man sich für eine
Fremdkompetenz qualifiziere. Hakan Gürses setzt sich mit Macht und
Machtstrukturen im Kontext von Kultur und Gesellschaft und Nausikaa
Schirilla nähert sich dem Konzept aus einer Perspektive  der
Gerechtigkeit.

Im offenen Teil dieser Ausgabe reflektiert Johann Kroier mit der
»Kulturblindheit« der europäischen Aufklärung und Abbas Manoochehri
mit alternativen Narrativen der Befreiung und der Veränderung bei
Edward Said.

In dem Heft sind wieder viele Rezensionen und Buchtipps zu
philosophisch und interkulturell aktuellen Publikationen zu finden.

Call for Applications

Theme: What Does It Mean to "Decolonize"?
Subtitle: On Education, Nature and Conviviality
Type: 8th Annual Decolonial Summer School
Institution: University College Roosevelt (UCR)
   Center for Global Studies and the Humanities, Duke University
Location: Middelburg (Netherlands)
Date: 27.6.–13.7.2017
Deadline: 1.4.2017

From Rolando Vázquez 

The 8th Middelburg Decolonial Summer School, 2017, will explore
decolonial horizons of living in harmony (Sumak Kawsay) and
conviviality. To do so it is necessary to unlearn dominant structures
of knowledge and assumptions taken for granted about life, politics,
nature, race and sexuality. The 2017 Summer School will be an
exercise in shifting the geographies of knowing, sensing and
believing. We will focus on three themes: eating, healing and
learning. Intellectuals from the humanities and social sciences as
well as practicing artists will contribute to the conversation.

The 8th Middelburg Decolonial Summer School, 2017, will explore
decolonial horizons of living in harmony (Sumak Kawsay) and
conviviality. To do so it is necessary to unlearn dominant structures
of knowledge and assumptions taken for granted about life, politics,
nature, race and sexuality. The 2017 Summer School will be an
exercise in shifting the geographies of knowing, sensing and
believing.

Being aware of learning through bodily senses opens up relations
towards living in plenitude that challenge the Western divide between
"nature" and "culture". "Nature", like race and sex, is one of three
pillars in Western narratives to secure the position of Man, the over
representation of the Human as Sylvia Wynter' convincingly argued.
The separation of the human species from earth has had enormous
consequences. The environmental crisis is the most visible. The
commodification of food and health follow suit.

Together we will explore forms of relationality that make us all kin
with the living earth (Pachamama, Mother Earth, Gaia). Our task would
be to generate understanding and praxis based on relationality rather
than on objectivity and separation. To do so, it is necessary to
delink from the hegemonic narrative of ‘nature’ as resource at the
service of growth and development, in order to relink with earth and
the regeneration of life.

The decolonial tasks of delinking and relating cannot be individually
achieved, they need to be done in conviviality. Conviviality requires
building communal togetherness and engaging in decolonial
conversations capable of changing the terms of the modern/colonial
conversations (e.g., from beliefs and theories and education to
imposed common sense).

To pursue our goals, we will focus on three themes: eating, healing
and learning. Intellectuals from the humanities and social sciences
as well as practicing artists will contribute to the conversation.
The overall issue to be explored will be:

a) What is the rhetoric of modernity in the spheres of food,
   education and health that keep us fixed on what to eat, what to
   learn and how to heal;
b) What is the hidden logic of coloniality;
c) and what is decolonial horizon.

Decolonially we are interested in mutual understanding of how
colonial wounds (humiliations, disdain, dehumanization) are inflicted
through food, health and education in order to engage in decolonial
healing for living in plenitude.

Target Group:
Designed for graduate students (Ph.D. and M.A.) from all disciplinary
backgrounds, we will encourage participants interested in creating
'working groups’ that will continue decolonial research agendas after
the end of the seminar. The working groups would develop ‘reports’
and ‘activities’ that may take the form of traditional paper,
video-documentary, web-page, artistic creation, museum exhibitions,
community work or other initiatives connected to the participant’s
interests. The course is also open to interested advanced
undergraduate students. (Students from University College Roosevelt
can obtain full course credits with the writing of a final research
paper).

Course Aim:
The course will make the students acquainted with the most current
debates around decolonial critical thought, in particular in relation

InterPhil: CFP: On the Matter of Blackness in Europe

[Bertold Bernreuter via InterPhil]

Call for Papers

Theme: On the Matter of Blackness in Europe
Subtitle: Transnational Perspectives
Type: Transnational Symposium
Institution: Department of Black Studies, University of California,
Santa Barbara
Location: Santa Barbara, CA (USA)
Date: 4.–5.5.2017
Deadline: 20.3.2017

__


The presence of Black people in Europe dates back to the early
medieval period. Since then, Black people in Europe have contributed
significantly to the archives of radical Black epistemologies in
various ways. Within this contribution, distinct points of departures
exist with regards to socio-historical conditions and divergences of
anti-blackness in European nation states. However, academic
scholarship on the articulations and formations of Blackness in
Europe have gained more attention in the last decades. Recently, the
multiplicities of European Blackness (as ontology, identity, and/or
alignment) are often subsumed under the framing of “Black Europe.”
The attention given to this area of study is due in part to the
resistance of Black people rendered non-citizen within Fortress
Europe, urban insurrections in the aftermath of police killings of
Black youth in Paris and London—as well as other cities in European
countries—mobilizations against anti-black imagery, and
representations in public spaces such as those against Zwarte Piete
in the Netherlands.

The symposium “On the Matter of Blackness in Europe: Transnational
Perspectives,” which will take place at the University of California,
Santa Barbara 4-5 May 2017, aims to trace the articulations of
transnational Black solidarities and struggles for Black lives in the
European context by foregrounding less explored paradigms of Black
formations, creations, improvisations and Black struggles throughout
Europe and beyond, putting a focus on the multiplicities of what has
become taken for granted in contemporary discussions of “Black
Europe.” With the aim of dismantling the homogeneity of the Black
transnational experience in European contexts while simultaneously
attending to how the various struggles for Black lives unfold, we
will engage with lived experiences of Blackness and Black political
struggles in various European contexts and geopolitical dynamics.
Further, the symposium will interrogate the power relations at work
within academic scholarship that determines what becomes
monolithically referred to as “Black Europe.”

This call is for junior scholars, early career researchers, and/or
independent researchers to present and discuss their respective
research projects, either on panels or on roundtables to enact
intergenerational, transnational and collective discussions. We
invite proposals for papers and roundtable presentations that address
any of the following:

- What can Blackness mean in/for Europe?
- How have contemporary contributions to the transnational
  continuations of the Black radical tradition been brought to bear in
  various European contexts?
- How do various Black struggles unfold in the face of genocidal
  border regimes, urban policing and surveillance, neoliberal
  austerity policies and the current rise of right-wing extremism and
  Islamophobia?
- What geographies and elements of Blackness or Black diasporic
  identity are privileged in European discourses and how can we
  unsettle these asymmetries?
- How do marginalized experiences of Blackness within Europe,
  especially the interventions of Black Muslims, LGBTQI*, and/or those
  rendered non-citizen (e.g., refugees or asylum seekers), challenge
  one-dimensional conceptualizations of Blackness. How can we be more
  accountable in centering them?
- Which kind of Black aesthetics, creative formations and
  emancipatory poesis are challenging the colonial legacies of Europe?
- How does Blackness shape and reconfigure space and how is Black
  place-making maneuvered alongside the intersectional lines of
  postcolonial urbanism?
- How do the politics of Black Lives Matter travel to and depart from
  these contexts? What can BLM mean in contexts that do not
  meaningfully contend with “race” as a recognized category of
  difference and subordination?
