Mit Teresa Koloma Beck über Fanon sprechen

In the organizer's words:

Thinking ahead with Fanon. Series of talks on the 100th birthday of Frantz Fanon. Moderator: Gabriel Schimmeroth

The sociology professor and violence researcher Teresa Koloma Beck will explore the question of what role violence plays in Fanon's work. She suggests that the author should also be viewed as a social theorist whose analyses of the relations of violence in colonial societies offer revealing insights - not only from the perspective of the history of ideas, but also with great relevance for the present day.

Frantz Fanon would have been 100 years old this year - MARKK is taking this as an opportunity to take a closer look at his work as part of a series of events. Even today, his work has a significant influence on thinking about racism and colonialism. From the 1950s onwards, Fanon came to public attention as an anti-colonial intellectual and became a central figure in the African independence movement of the 20th century. In times of global crisis, his work is more relevant than ever. A number of selected experts talk to Gabriel Schimmeroth (MARKK) about the significance of Fanon's work now and for the future.
