Minna Salami: Feminist Analysis, Critique, and Imagination in Contemporary African-European-Afropolitan Thought: A Kaleidoscopic Encounter
What does it mean to know? This lecture explores the intersections between knowledge, feminism, analysis, critique, and imagination within contemporary African-European-Afropolitan discourse. Through a multidimensional lens, the lecture delves into the revelations that feminist perspectives, critical inquiry, and visionary imagination expose across diverse cultural landscapes and intellectual traditions. Analysing power, knowledge, and language, the lecture offers a rigorous feminist critique of dominant narratives and epistemic hierarchies within African-European-Afropolitan thought. It also plants seeds for an alternate, nondualist political philosophy to flourish amidst the dominant europatriarchal social imagination. By exploring the converging and diverging brocades of feminist analysis, critique, and imagination, the lecture invites participants to engage with the complexities of contemporary knowledge production, challenging accepted methodologies and fostering transformative dialogue across cultural, geographical, and disciplinary boundaries: A kaleidoscopic encounter.
