The Poetics of Édouard Glissant Reading Group (organiser):
The Poetics of Glissant Reading Group explores the writings of Édouard Glissant, one of the most influential writers to have written about poetics and decolonial relations via approaches like “opacity” and “visibility”. Édouard Glissant’s writing has touched many fields like visual culture, poetry, and decolonial academic practice and we attempt to read his work by situating it within the entanglements of politics, philosophy, literature, and poetics. In this reading group, starting with his seminal text Poetics of Relation, Édouard Glissant’s poetics and politics will be explored in 90 min sessions where one of the reading group members will lead the discussion.
Postcolonial Environmental Humanities Working Group (organiser):
As Early Career Researchers working on environment, postcolonialism, and the Anthropocene would know, reading about the subject in an interdisciplinary manner allows us to tackle this “fuzzy” object with more clarity and care. The aim of this reading/work group is to create a collaborative space for researchers working in postcolonial studies to have peer group who would read and give each other feedback on works-in-progress and have a monthly reading group.
Ping me on my email if you want to join the reading group or just join us for a session. Link: https://g-a-p-s.net/reading-groups/
