Guest lecture (in English) by Professor Mahamet Timéra, Université de Paris 7 – Diderot: « The Empire of Ethno-racial and ethno-religious categorisations »

Beskrivelse

Professor Mahamet Timéra offers a deconstruction of the public discourse of “integration” and other ethno-racial, ethno-national and ethno-religious categories (Immigrant, Arab/Black/Asian/Jewish/Muslim etc.) employed by the French state structures, the media and the general public. Professor Timéra also discusses whether the West African migrant communities and associations can be said to appropriate the dominant categories and derive empowering strategies based on them. His presentation will link these theoretical discussions to the events in 2005-2006 in the suburbs, and also link it to the recent public discussion of the French colonial past. His presentation is based on his book chapter « The Empire of Ethno-racial and ethno-religious categorisations », 2012, in : « L’empire des catégories ethnico-raciales et ethnico-religieuses » In L'Afrique des banlieues françaises, Dir. Michel Agier, Rémy Bazenguissa-Ganga, Ed. Paari, pp. 27-42.
