The lecture will discuss the posthuman ethics and figuration of vibrant death which I developed in my recent book (”Vibrant Death”, 2022). I shall present the theoretical framework as well as the poetic-philosophical coining of the concept through poetry writing and practicing of spiritmattering , q***rfeminine co-becoming with the watery assemblages with which my beloved le***an life partner’s ashes are merged. Moreover, I shall bring my concept of vibrant death in eco-political and eco-ethical conversation with the concept of double-death, coined by environmental humanities scholar Deborah Bird Rose (2004); with the concept of double-death,

PUBLICATION HIGHLIGHT

𝘗𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘗𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘴: 𝘈𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘯 𝘔𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢 𝘪𝘯 𝘌𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦 edited by GGEP staff member Sandra Ponzanesi, Bolette Blaagaard, Sabrina Marchetti and Shaul Bassi (Ca'Foscari Press, 2023).

𝘗𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘗𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘴: 𝘈𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘯 𝘔𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢 𝘪𝘯 𝘌𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦 presents a collection of sixteen chapters that explore the themes of how migrants, refugees and citizens express and share their political and social causes and experiences through art and media. These expressions, which we term ‘citizen media’, arguably become a platform for postcolonial intellectuals as the studies pursued in this volume investigate the different ways in which previously excluded social groups regain public voice. The volume strives to understand the different articulations of migrants’, refugees’, and citizens’ struggle against increasingly harsh European politics that allow them to achieve and empower political subjectivity in a mediated and creative space.

Doing Gender Lecture by Kehinde Andrews

On Monday 30 January 2023, Prof. Kehinde Andrews (Birmingham City, School of Social Sciences, UK) will give the first Doing Gender lecture of the new year! 'The Battle for Black Studies: Decolonising knowledge is not just ‘academic'

In September 2017 we have launched the first Black Studies degree in Europe at Birmingham City University. Far from this being a celebration of having Black perspectives at universities, the aim is to use the opportunity to use the university to develop what Robert Staples called the ‘science of liberation’. Black Studies has a long history in the UK, being done in the grassroots in community organisations and supplementary schools. This talk will discuss the importance of developing a critical Black Studies at the intersection and the tensions of housing the degree and research in the university space. Black Studies is essential, but can it flourish in the institutionally racist space of academia?

Time: 17.30-19.00 hrs.
Location: Utrecht University Inner City campus
Chair: Dr. Koen Leurs
