Tuning Into Coalition, Sounding Decolonial Feminism

Sat, Nov 12, 5:00 to 6:15pm, Palais des Congrès, 519B (LCD)

Abstract

The coloniality of gender (Lugones, 2007) lets us see coloniality at work so we may disenchant ourselves from categories of gender. How do we disenchant our ears from hearing coloniality?
 This paper engages the anthology, This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color as a sonic archive where you may hear chants, cries, music, noise, and tune into a soundscape of coalition. To activate a decolonial feminist politics of listening from the written text to the larger social become inextricably linked decolonial feminist practices.
