Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
For years, issues of land and the question of land ownership have been the main focus in movements of decolonisation. However, in recent years, in particular Black feminist scholars and writers have turned to the sea to reclaim “the ocean from a decolonising perspective” (Hofmeyr) in what has been called the “Oceanic turn”. Moreover, in times of climate emergencies, rising sea levels, ever more extreme draughts, and torrential floodings have become markers of our deranged relationship with the planet, calling for a rethinking of our understanding of being and being-with multi-spirited waters.In this literary studies course, we will read for water in recent African poetry, short fiction, novels, and performance and explore the complex entanglements of (bodies of) water and colonialism, indigenous epistemologies, and alternative ways of being from an Afrocentric point of view. By drawing on topical (African) scholarship on water, such as Isabel Hofmeyr’s concept of hydrocolonialism, Sarah Nuttall’s notion of pluviality, or Astrida Neimanis’s more-than-human hydrocommons we will (re)consider our relationships with bodies of water, such as oceans, rivers, or rain in terms of coloniality, climate crisis, as well as hydrocosmologies.
