Colorlust: The Other’s Bones, Flesh and Blood (Föreläsningen hålls på engelska)

What is it that makes both talks and silences stained with shame? Sometimes the mind freezes and the heart goes on fasting: name, nation, identity, citizenship disappear. In the desert, the mind forgets but the body remembers. With every step, the world comes to the walker, and all around, on the immense screen of life, every event speaks. The talk will be based on Trinh Minh-ha’s new Trinh Minh-ha work, a book in progress that focuses on the small and large wounds of our time (on war and twin victories, on double walking with the Disappeared, and on circles of resistance). Trinh Minh-ha är professor i retorik och genusstudier vid Berkeley. Internationellt erkänd postkolonial teoretiker, feminist och filmmakare. Författare till bland annat Woman, Native, Other (Indiana University Press 1989) och The Digital Film Event (Routledge 2005).
