Europe is haunted by its own coloniality. More and more people are migrating to Europe because they no longer have a livelihood in their countries of origin due to centuries of exploitation by (neo-)colonial dependencies. However, the discourses on migration in Europe are characterized by historical amnesia; Europe's involvement in the history of exploitation is ignored, its responsibility suspended. Refugees are perceived as 'social smugglers’ and anti-migration, right-wing populist parties are gaining power. The coloniality of power in Europe is therefore unbroken and with it the racism that pervades all areas of society. This paper will examine how these power relations at the intersections of racism, gender and sexuality affect the subjectivation of people. For example, what does subjectivation mean under conditions of anti-Muslim racism? How do the social and educational sciences react to these powerful relationships of difference? The investigation of these questions follows the tradition of cultural studies as decolonial epistemology and applies postcolonial theory, gender and queer theory as well as a post-structuralist-postcolonial psychoanalysis.| Zeitraum | 17 Sep. 2022 → 19 Sep. 2022 |
