Cutie.BPoC Festival Berlin

We want to create a space where you can all meet one another and adress issues that affect us and our communities – migration, state violence, racism, surveillance, lack of spaces/resources – and to build stronger networks across countries within europe (and outside of it, possibilities and resources permit.)

Events/talks/workshops will be organized around topics including but not limited to sexwork, queer and aging, the prison industrial complex, bdsm, hackathons, art and decolonial identity, non binary perspective of gender, music and migration.

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.

La frontera tiende a expanderse: explosiona en subcontratas a terceros países e implosiona en fronteras interiores, en dispositivos de control, detencion y desaparición… es decir; tiende a ocupar la totalidad del sistema y devenir centro. A la sombra de la frontera como sistema se crea el prototipo de una sociedad totalitaria[…]
