Course presentation:
The amnesia of empire and silenced pasts affect our memory, as well as the insurgent modes of representing otherness, particularly among Afro-descendant and Indigenous peoples of the Global South where coloniality persists. Thus, what Edward Said meant as “permission to narrate” referred to survival as an act of resistance in Palestine, living in a “Present Tense,” as defined by the exiled Palestinian artist Mona Hatoum. The seminar aims to discuss the decolonization of discourses and imaginaries in historical representation and its (im)possibility within the temporal and spatial limits of modernity/coloniality, based on artistic and cultural production through which emancipatory practices of re(ex)istence are invented.
