Postcolonial Bauman: 10th Anniversary Conference

Date

University of Leeds, September 3-4 2020

KEYNOTES: Etienne Balibar; Carlo Bordoni and David Lyon (others TBC)

As one of the most prominent and influential intellectuals of our times, Zygmunt Bauman envisaged and practiced sociology as a dialogical activity.

Jointly held by the Bauman Institute and the Postcolonial Intellectuals and their European Publics Network (PIN), this transdisciplinary conference proceeds in this spirit by inviting a dialogue between Bauman and postcolonial studies organised around four overlapping strands, each of which reflects on the composite figure of ‘postcolonial Bauman’:

  1. Postcolonialism and Postcommunism;
  2. Postcolonial Europe
  3. The Intellectual as Outsider
  4. The Intellectual as seen from the Outside
