dears,
I apologize for the unclear communication... some of you have written
notifying the wrong link (thank you) and asked for more information. Our
friends from tranzit Bratislava clarified that they can not stream the
event online today. We are sorry!
but they will share the video on their youtube channel and circulate it
also with us.
I was happy to see so many responses and I promise I will share as soon as
it becomes available
sending hugs !

06/09/2022Decolonial Europe. An antiracist, anti-capitalist and
> anti-imperialist feminist approach
>
> *Lecture by Françoise Vergès / Q & A: Ľubica Kobová and Zuzana Maďarová*
>
> *September 6, 7 pm, tranzit.sk <http://tranzit.sk/>*
>
> The event will be held in English
>
> In Discourse on Colonialism (published in French in 1955), anticolonial
> political leader and Martinican poet Aimé Césaire wrote: *"Europe is
> indefensible”* because it had justified, in the name of its *“superior”* civilization,
> genocides, massacres, slavery, colonization, extractive economy destructive
> of the environment, the deportation of millions of Africans and the
> dispossession and exploitation of millions of people around the world.
>
> European’s blindness to its crimes meant that they could not understand
> that *“Colonization works to decivilize the colonizer, to brutalize him
> in the true sense of the word,”* in other words, that its ideas, regimes,
> social making would be inevitably contaminated by racism. Thus, Europe
> could not understand that, sooner or later, they would have to enter their
> own decolonial process.
>
> Today, the multiplication of zones of non-being, the return of
> extreme-right parties in parliaments, the anti-refugee politics, the
> counter-offensive against women’s and LGTBQI+ rights, the murderous racism
> against Black, Roma, Muslim and indigenous communities, the government’s
> deafness in face of climate disaster, the return of war on the continent,
> shatters European narrative of having been protected from colonial
> ideologies and universalism.
>
> *“Decolonization is a program of total disorder,”* wrote decolonial
> theorist Frantz Fanon. Revolutionary disorder (which is not chaos) is an
> answer to the disorder that capitalism endlessly produces. In this
> contribution, Françoise Vergès will discuss how the idea of Europe was
> colonial (even on the continent itself), why the decolonization of Europe
> as an antiracist, anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist struggle is urgent,
> and what decolonial feminism can bring to the struggle against the
> permanent war on peoples and the earth.
>
> *Françoise Vergès* is a Franco-Reunionnese political theorist, feminist,
> independent curator, public educator and decolonial activist currently
> living in Paris. Her work focuses on colonial slavery as an anti-Blackness
> regime, psychoanalysis, the (impossible) decolonization of the Western
> museum, republican coloniality and decolonial feminism. Her latest books
> are A Decolonial Feminism (2020/2021), A Feminist Theory of Violence, A
> Decolonial Perspective (2021/2022) and De la violence coloniale dans
> l’espace public (2021). She has directed movies on Caribbean authors Aimé
> Césaire and Maryse Condé, curated exhibitions, and convened workshops with
> artists of color. She is a co-founder of the non-profit Decolonize the arts
> (2015-2022) and of its open university.
>
> *Ľubica Kobová* teaches at the Department of Gender Studies of the
> Faculty of Humanities of Charles University in Prague. Her research focus
> is on feminist political thought and its history and feminist understanding
> of work and work ethics. She is a member of the editorial board of
> Contradictions: A Journal for Critical Thought and cooperates with Aspekt,
> the Feminist Publication and Educational Project based in Bratislava.
>
> *Zuzana Maďarová* is a researcher at the Faculty of Social and Economic
> Sciences at Comenius University in Bratislava, collaborator with the
> feminist educational and publishing organization ASPEKT. Her research
> focuses on gender aspects of political subjectivity (in history and
> present), political communication, and the conservative turn in political
> discourse.
