Colonial Media Ecologies – Entanglements of Colonial Environments
How do we narrate colonial entanglements – of voices, places, archives – from a Nordic perspective today? This seminar explores formats of narrating colonialhistory, from travelogues and historiography, to new materialist approaches that might harbor a multi-perspectival and multi-voiced opening up of the colonialheritage. Can we imagine new agencies by emphasizing the entangled mediaecologies and environments in which we are all still culturally brought together across distances in the vast global afterlife of slavery and colonialization?
