Realigning Humanitarianism: Post-Socialist Pedagogy as Liberal Politics of Love
Maxwell Hall, 204
Add to: Outlook, ICal, Google Calendar
What does liberal politics of love look like from the perspective of a post-socialist country? Discussing humanitarian projects in a refugee camp from Roma, Ashkalia, and Balkan Egyptians that was located in Montenegro between 2000 and 2018, Čarna Brković will make a case for developing nuanced analytical terms to understand what has been going on with feelings and politics during the post-socialist transformation, without always having to adjust, cut, scale up or down analytical vocabularies developed for liberal centers or peripheries.
Čarna Brković is a professor of cultural studies and European ethnology at the University of Mainz in Germany.
Co-sponsored by the CNY Humanities Corridor ("War Ecologies" Working Group) and the Balkan Studies Collective.
