THE ABSENT SUBJECT: TOWARDS A THEORY OF BLACK MALE EXPERIENCES

Conférences
Date: mardi 26 novembre 2019 18:30

Lieu: Maison de la Paix-Auditorium A1B

What does it mean to think of the Black male – to pull the meaning of his existence away from his body to be used by thought? Despite the language of intersectionality, anti-essentialism and the emphasis on progressivism and pluralisation, theory has failed to properly conceptualise Black men and boys.

Using history, sociology and a range of social science findings, Dr Tommy J. Curry reflectively engages the epistemic violence that undergirds Black men’s racialisation and disposability at the hands of the United States.
 

Tommy J. Curry currently holds the Chair of Africana Philosophy and Black Male Studies at the University of Edinburgh. His latest book, The Man-Not: Race, Class, Genre, and the Dilemmas of Black Manhood, was published in 2017 by Temple University Press.
