A partir d’une enquête menée à Mexico, cet article se propose de contribuer à saisir les formes nouvelles des interventions féministes dans la ville, particulièrement sur le patrimoine national. Le genre de cette géographie contestataire a été celui de l’appropriation par les femmes de l’espace urbain comme une ressource, de la re-signification patrimoniale par leurs performances et de la mémorialisation féministe. Trois façons de s’approprier l’…

The Secessionist Manifestos of Certain Received Wisdoms
In the winter sun in early 2016, 21 years after the first transmission of The Last Angel of History on ZDF in 1995, John Akomfrah and Kodwo Eshun were invited by the two editors, kara lynch and Henriette Gunkel, to discuss the film’s interventions into critical debates around black popular culture in the mid-1990s, its epistemological enquiry into modes of becoming, its analysis of the foreclosure of African political utopias, and its role in the…
To Win the War, You Fought It Sideways
The essay provides a close reading of the Laingian text that provides the conceptual levers of intervention required to undertake the desedimentation of the categories of magical realism, science fiction and Afrofuturism in order to think through the recursive capacities of the text to act upon the object of literature from the future of 2020 in the present of 1992.
Further considerations on Afrofuturism
Imagine a team of African archaeologists from the future—some silicon, some carbon, some wet, some dry—excavating a site, a museum from their past: a museum whose ruined documents and leaking discs are identifiable as belonging to our present, the early twenty-first century. Sifting patiently through the rubble, our archaeologists from the United States of Africa, the USAF, would be struck by how much Afrodiasporic subjectivity in the twentieth c…

The collected essays construct an alternative cartography of cine-cultural practices. Gray and Eshun call into question the present political constitution through critical…

Further Considerations of Afrofuturism
In our time, the USAF archaeologists surmise, imperial racism has denied black subjects the right to belong to the enlightenment project, thus creating an urgent need to demonstrate a substantive historical presence. This desire has overdetermined Black Atlantic intellectual culture for several centuries. [End Page 287
