No Comments on Transforming Europe – 10 years of movement building

6th European Transgender Council
02 – 05 June 2016, Bologna

Since the first European Transgender Council in 2005 in Vienna, our movement has grown steadily (TGEU now has 90 member organisations in 42 countries); human rights of trans people are discussed more widely and more countries are in the process of improving legal recognition and protection. In Bologna, together with our members and supporters, we will celebrate our achievements over these 10 years. At the same time we will look into the challenges ahead that we face together as one movement in Europe…

No Comments on Right to move / Libertad de movimiento

De fronteras internas y externas a colaboraciones, líneas de fuga y perspectivas
De 23 a 26 de mayo de 2016, Goethe Institut – Barcelona

Durante cuatro días presentaremos en el Goethe-Institut Barcelona conferencias performativas, ponencias y debates, proyecciones y documentación alrededor de los temas “Decolonizar el lenguaje”, “Líneas de fuga” y “Estrategias de trabajo en red”. Con “Decolonizar el lenguaje” queremos cuestionar el uso del lenguaje y la cultura como prácticas para re-organizar la sociedad y la política. En “Líneas de fuga” nos aproximamos a los movimientos migratorios actuales y a la continuidad de conflictos heredados del pasado colonialista. “Estrategias de trabajo en red” mostrará prácticas que resumen los puntos anteriores a través del ejemplo de proyectos positivos que presentan las perspectivas de un trabajo social y político nuevo.

No Comments on Toward a non – Eurocentric Academia: Border Thinking and Decoloniality from Africa and Asia to Europe and the Americas

SUMMER INSTITUTE
UNC, CHAPEL HILL AND DUKE UNIVERSITY (U.S.A), MAY 14-22, 2016

In May 2016, the Summer Institute Toward a non-Eurocentric Academia: Border Thinking and Decoloniality, will assemble advanced graduate students and junior scholars from different parts of the world to create a platform for crosscutting, inter-sectional, and trans-disciplinary research that seeks to think through the contemporary crisis of post-colonial epistemologies with a focus on border making, border contestation and new border imaginations. The workshop will aim to re-evaluate the state of humanities and social sciences in a non-Eurocentric global order today. The terms ‘Decoloniality, Borders, Borderthinking, Borderlands’ will not only be approached in their immediate political and physical sense, but also as tropes of thinking about the complexity of modern human experience that can not be understood with the analytical tools of civilizational, national and religious containers. Gathering contributions from Gender Studies, Black Studies, Religious Studies, Post-colonial Studies and Decolonial Thinking the workshop will offer various theoretical critiques rooted in multiple humanities and social science fields, yet exceeding them in their significance.

Understanding practice as a network of connections from one theoretical point to another, and theory as a network of connections between one practice and another, kronotop.org is conceptualized as a research project committed to action, theoretical and practical.

With the intention to relate art, activism, politics and critical theory, and in the search for situations that encourage dialogue and collaborative networks, kronotop.org opens a collective space to think about the politics of positioning, critical interventions, limits of representation, as well as current conditions of art production and distribution. It is is a space for sharing ideas which can be rethought, rearticulated, expanded or used by other persons or groups in different contexts of their political actions.
