Frantz Fanon: Psychanalyse, Philosophie et Politique

Frantz Fanon: Psychanalyse, Philosophie et Politique

Jeudi 12 et Vendredi 13 décembre 2013

Lieu : Université Toulouse Le Mirail, salles RU 014 (Le jeudi) et RU 111 (le vendredi). Les salles sont situées dans l’ancien Restaurant Universitaire

Psychiatre, philosophe, militant, Frantz Fanon, n’a cessé de penser les troubles de l’identité, les dérèglements des corps dans le cadre de sociétés post-esclavagistes et coloniales. Corps meurtris, asphyxiés, phobiques, mais également douleurs sans lésions (impression de « tête qui éclate, de langue qu’on avale »), tels sont les symptômes dont Fanon fait part dans ses deux ouvrages majeurs, Peau Noire, Masques Blancs et Les Damnés de la terre. Ces diagnostics au croisement de la psychiatrie, de la psychanalyse, de la phénoménologie et de l’anthropologie ont constitué un apport essentiel à la question de la race qui continue de traverser nos sociétés postcoloniales. L’idée de ces journées d’étude est plus particulièrement de saisir comment les instruments empruntés à ces différents champs disciplinaires ont permis à Fanon de déplacer le questionnement qui les sous-tend en rappelant « comment la race compte » (Cornel West) comme impensé épistémologique. Impensé qu’il convient alors de dévoiler afin de réorienter son usage politique.

Organisation: Hourya Bentouhami, Norman Ajari

Ces journées sont organisées dans le cadre du séminaire MémoCris « Mémoires dominées et créations critiques dans les sociétés post-traumatiques » au sein de l’opération Humanités du Labex Structuration des Mondes Sociaux.

Freedom, Race and Social Cohesion: historical and contemporary African perspectives.

A Colloquium at UNISA 4^th-5^th March 2014

Call for papers

At the time when the 50^th anniversary of attempts at African unity are being celebrated, it is perhaps also important to reflect on the general demands and struggle for freedom which underlay the pan-African dream and which African independence had promised its peoples.  Rather than merely celebrating an organisation of states, it is fundamentally important to reflect on the ideals which produced them and how they have been experienced by people since.  After all it was as recently as the 1980s that a Nigerian peasant was asking ‘When will independence end?’  (Raufu Mustapha, 1996)[1].  It is a sad fact that popular dissatisfaction with the state in Africa is widespread.

Southern Theory | Global Humanities -- A Lecture Series on Frantz Fanon

WISER

After a thousand years of world ascendency, the Euro-American archive might finally be running dry.  Meanwhile, not only is the world moving South and East, but so is theory.  The redrawing of the global intellectual map which started during the era of decolonization is proceeding unabated.  The worldwide dissemination of thought is buttressed by a worldwide circulation and translation of texts, a highly productive invention and re-appropriation of concepts and the de-nationalization of the great academic debates. Under what conditions can the de-nationalization of the humanities bring a truly global perspective to conventional theory and criticism and rekindle our research imagination?

Frantz Fanon 50 years later: a ‘Thinking Africa’ conference

Richard Pithouse

by Richard Pithouse, Social Dynamics, Vol. 37, No, 3, 2012

The Thinking Africa Project in the Department of Politics & International Relations at Rhodes University hosted its inaugural annual conference in July 2011. It was decided to dedicate the conference to an examination of the contemporary meanings of Frantz Fanon due to the fact that 2011 is the fiftieth year since Fanon’s death and, also, the ongoing centrality of Fanon’s work to the thinking of emancipatory political possibilities in Africa.

Fanon died, in Washington, in December 1961. In his 36 years, the arc of his life moved from the Caribbean to Europe and North Africa. He had been a soldier with the Free French Forces, a student in France, a psychiatrist in the French colonial system and a revolutionary in the Algerian National Liberation Movement. Black Skin, White Masks, written while he was a student, is a canonical text in critical race studies. The Wretched of the Earth, written through failing health in 10 weeks in Tunis, stands as a foundational text in the critique of colonialism, the description and assessment of anti-colonial struggle and the diagnosis of the pathologies of the postcolonial state.
