Séminaire contrepoints autour de Carte noire nommée désir

Me too': sex, gender and race

As a counterpoint to Rébecca Chaillon's show, which examines the erotic clichés and fantasies that have shaped the history of black women's bodies, a round table led by Frédéric Regard and Anne Tomiche (Professor at Sorbonne University) will bring together three specialists from different disciplines to examine the sexualisation of black bodies in history, their visibility and invisibility in France, and the possibility of decolonialised bodies:

With:

Nathalie Coutelet, History of theatre and minority forms, University of Paris 8

Andrée-Anne Kekeh-Dika, Afro-American literature and history, Université Paris 8

Françoise Vergès, political scientist and decolonial activist..
