| Inhalt | Africa is paradoxically posited as both an ‘insular and desperate place’ and as an auspicious site of ‘Africa rising’ or ‘African renaissance’. What stance might we assume in the face of such an ensemble of antagonist verdicts and diagnoses, which are rendered frequently as indisputable or even inescapable? How do we provide counterpoints to the pronouncements that dominate public discourse in the global North? These questions are at the heart of an edited volume entitled African Futures. Essays on Crisis, Emergence and Possibility. Therein, outstanding scholars of Africa explore how particular senses and experiences of time, potentiality and emergence, along with feelings of incapacity or impossibility come together to make certain futures actualisable and inhabitable – and others not at all. We will read a selection of essays from African Futures, which will serve as discussion basis for 3 thematic public events on • Crises & Futures • Mobilities & Futures • Possibilities & Futures For these events and the conversations we wish to stimulate, the students will select and invite contributors to African Futures and personalities who work in the arts and culture and/or activist and civil society groups or NGOs. Due to the Corona pandemic, these events will most probably take place online. |
