«The Evidence of Things Not Seen». Queering Europe with James Baldwin

Konferenz: 22. – 23. Februar 2018, Universität Bern

Kurzbeschrieb

The conference brought together scholars, artists and activists drawing on James Baldwin to engage with and question racial relations in the spatio-temporal formations condensed in, but not limited to the geographical space of Europe. We explored a renewed interest in Baldwin’s work, the trajectory of this reception as well as the theoretical and political resonance his writing has had within Europe and in linking critical thinking about Race across the Atlantic, especially with regard to queer, feminist and other movements of Colour.
