African and Caribbean Philosophy in French

Catalog description

An introduction to Africana philosophy--philosophy of Africa and its diasporas--in French (with exceptions including Sylvia Wynter). How does the category of Africana philosophy translate to the Francophone global sphere and its histories, and to anglophone Africana philosophy? Decolonial philosophy; ethnophilosophy; Pan-Africanism; negritude; psychiatric and psychoanalytic interventions; philosophy and the construction and deconstruction of utopias; Africana thought in dialogue with continental, US, and indigenous traditions; Africana feminisms; interdisciplinary intertexts; and materially-situated philosophical paradigms, from the economic to the ecological. Course taught in French.
