Dear colleagues,
we warmly invite you to the first Berlin Southern Theory Lecture:
FELWINE SARR (Université Gaston Berger, St. Louis, Senegal)
Rewriting the Humanities from Africa. For an Ecology of Knowledge
Felwine Sarr teaches at University Gaston Berger in Saint Louis (Senegal).
His lectures and academic research focus on epistemology, economic policies,
and history of religious ideas. In 2018, Sarr and French art historian
Bénédicte Savoy published a report on the restitution of African artifacts
taken by France during the colonial period, commissioned by the French
president, Emmanuel Macron.
The annual Berlin Southern Theory Lecture foregrounds southern theory and
epistemology. It honors diverse starting points and relations – "from",
"with" and "for"– forms of theorizing whose trajectories often depart from
dominant Euro-American traditions. Thereby, this lecture series redresses
lingering postcolonial asymmetries and aims to decenter and diversify
theoretical debates in the social sciences and the humanities.
