*Postcolonial Space and Spaces of Postcoloniality: A Workshop and Teaching
Day*
*10 am – 5 pm, Tuesday 26 May 2015*
*G11, 3-5 Woodland Road, University of Bristol*
*Following Said’s foundational exposition of the ‘imaginative geographies’
of colonial conquest, the right to space, the control of space and the
perception of space have all played fundamental roles in the study of
empire and its afterlives. This one-day workshop and teaching day brings
together a range of scholars working in diverse areas of postcolonial,
imperial and area studies to start a discussion about what ‘space’ means in
the context of the (post)colonial and to develop an understanding the ways
in which space, as a category of analysis, informs cultural and social
production under the legacies of imperialism.*

pan-African spaces in Dakar, Senegal’*
