In this episode, we take a deep dive into Frantz Fanon's first book Black Skin, White Masks. We discuss his views on racism as a form of alienation and narcissism, assess that status of reason throughout his argument, and interrogate his emphasis on futurity over history. Throughout we defend his theory of social pathology and his embrace of reason and universal humanism. This episode should be a stimulating introduction to the anticolonial and revolutionary work of Fanon for both newcomers and experts!leftofphilosophy.com | @leftofphilReferences:Frantz Fanon, Black Skin, White Masks, trans.

Historian and author Cedric Robinson defined the Black radical tradition as “the continuing development of a collective consciousness informed by the historical struggles for liberation.” The Black radical tradition is a rich and vibrant tapestry woven by the efforts of many Black people who raised their voices demanding freedom and equality denied to them by racial capitalism. They broke through white supremacy and forged the Black Radical Tradition. There were such giants as W. E. B. Du Bois, C.L.R. James, Frantz Fanon, and Malcolm X. And important cultural figures such as Langston Hughes, Lorraine Hansberry, James Baldwin, Paul Robeson, and Toni Morrison. Today, the legacy of these pioneers and many others inform and inspire Black movements for liberation and justice from Ferguson to Minneapolis to Memphis.
Sean Illing talks with political science professor Matt McManus about the political thought of Friedrich Nietzsche, the 19th-century German philosopher with a complicated legacy, despite his crossover into popular culture. They discuss how Nietzsche's work has been interpreted — and misinterpreted — since his death in 1900, how his radical political views emerge from his body of work, and how we can use Nietzsche's philosophy in order to interpret some key features of our contemporary politics.

What stances did the renowned sociologist and historian W. E. B. Du Bois take toward race and class? And how and why did his convictions change over time? According to Michael Burawoy, Du Bois moved from a phenomenology of racism to a Black Marxism, a shift that culminated in Du Bois's book on the Civil War and Reconstruction. Michael Burawoy, “The Making of Black Marxism: The Complementary Perspectives of W. E .B. Du Bois and Frantz Fanon” (pdf) Michael Burawoy, Public Sociology Polity, 2021 The post Du Bois on Race and Class appeared first on KPFA.
In a time where all colonization is deemed 100% evil and racist, Alan Ryan gives a very nuanced account of imperialism, and that is where our discussion takes us in this episode! We look at the ancient Roman concept of empire, the various justifications that were given for European imperialism in the 16th and 17th centuries, and more modern anti-imperialist thinkers. We cover such people and topics as Francisco de Vitoria, the Valladolid Debate, Emerich Vattel, Lenin, Frantz Fanon, Sayyad Qutb, and more! You can follow us on Twitter! @UlmtdOpinions

We live in a country where some are quick to enact laws and apply pressure that bans black history, so as to deny and forget the violence of the past that has created the realities of black people today, where they are being brutalized and discriminated against within a systemic system that is slow to enact policies and pressure that upend this violence and discrimination as it speaks to the wider issue of accountability and action. It has become such a political issue, which is the strategy that has mitigated and diluted any effective strategy of reforming police and the systemic injustices to black and brown peoples. But thanks to video technology, we uncovered the truth that led to Tyre Nichols demise, yet another black killed by the police within a culture of police brutality and violence. In retrospect, it was not white cops that killed Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. But today, black cops beat Tyre Nichols to his death. The symptom of a society that has been damaged by colonization, a process that Frantz Fanon call the depersonalization of the individual, the black peoples, for it strips away the individual. It redefines the thing, so as to justify and advance its violent control. It comes from within a neo-capitalistic attitude of power, one that corrupts stemming from the fallen human nature. Fanon wrote, "The Negro is not. Any more than the White Man. He interrupts the usual language of the day to punctuate his violent break from standards, placing a period where a comma should be and changing the comparative constant and value of language using anymore instead of any less. Indeed, if we are to understand the damaged done to the world due to colonization and the fallen human nature, then reading Fanon's psychoanalysis of the colonized world will help to provide an analysis and an effective way forward. Therefore, it wasn't a few Police Officers that murdered Tyre Nichols, it was a police culture of Police Brutality against black and brown peoples. That hasn't changed since the Black Lives Matter marched against George Floyd/Breonna Taylor. The Memphis Police released the video of Tyre Nichols. This was a violent testimony of police brutality and a culture of violence against black people. It's so cultural/deep, this callous attitude toward black men by police that policy won't matter. What else must we do. They don't care. Two years ago, after #JacobBlake was shot in the back by #police in #wisconsin! I had written: soon after Police killed an innocent unharmed Blackman in Lafayette, another story developed just yesterday of other police killings of a black man. There's no end to their violence and vigilante justice proving only the point again that NO POLICY WILL WORK ON POLICE REFORM. Just two days ago #Police gun down #JacobBlake in #Wisconsin sparking #nationwide #protests. Today, the Memphis Police announces that it is enacting major reforms after the release of the Tyre Nichols Video, which was graphic showing four black police officers beating an unharmed and helpless Tyre, yelling for his mother. Several government officials and even the White House denounced the actions of the four police officers as criminal and callous. The video showed just how violent the police treat with black men. They vowed legal and political action. However, after George Floyd & Breonna Taylor and the #BLM protests 2 years ago, we had the same reactions and promises which resulted in what we thought were major police reforms. On June 15, 2020, I wrote that Another Black man killed by Police.... With all the looting and protestations last week surrounding police brutality on black lives and inequities in our system, they killed Rayshad Brooks on Friday; Sadly, today August 23, 2020, I am writing that same story as the cycle continues... Trayford Pellerin, a 31-year-old Black man who was fatally shot...there's been NO CHANGE.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 28, 2023 is: doctrinaire dahk-truh-NAIR adjective Doctrinaire is a formal word that means “stubbornly or excessively devoted to a doctrine or theory without regard to practical considerations.” It is often used disapprovingly to describe a person who has very strong beliefs about what should be done and who will not change those beliefs or accept other people's opinions. // They were pleased by the shift in leadership, as their old mayor was extremely doctrinaire. See the entry > Examples: “[The art exhibition,] In the Black Fantastic is a magnificent experience, spectacular from first to last. ... The premise is succinct: to unite artists from the African diaspora who use fantasy, myth and fiction to address racism and injustice. Apposite literary quotations appear on the walls, from Frantz Fanon and others. But there is nothing theoretical or doctrinaire about the work.” — Laura Cumming, The Guardian (London), 3 July 2022 Did you know? The noun doctrine refers to a set of ideas or beliefs that are taught or believed to be true, and is often used specifically for the principles on which a government or religion may be based. Its adjectival form, doctrinal (“of, relating, or preoccupied with doctrine”), as in “doctrinal teachings,” is straightforward and not particularly judgmental. Doctrinaire, however, describes someone who is rigidly and impractically devoted to a doctrine. This critical connotation comes from the word's history in post-revolutionary France as a name for members of a group of constitutional monarchists led by statesman and philosopher Pierre Paul Royer-Collard. Royer-Collard's doctrine was opposed by both ultraroyalists and revolutionists, and he was given the nickname “doctrinaire,” which was later capitalized and extended to his colleagues, thereafter known as the Doctrinaires.

Avoir été très vite plongé dans la marmite en mode stage d'entreprise filmé. Les écueils des débuts où les codes enferment et font plus de mal qu'autre chose. Le déclic qui libère et conduit aujourd'hui à être aligné avec soi-soi-même et de tout assumer, même les erreurs. La promesse de dire tout le temps, très fort et en rigolant ce que beaucoup n'aiment pas entendre. Devenir père et ne plus parler de carrière mais d'héritage. Le trac le mois d'avant, les plateaux, Avignon, Twitter. L'importance de lire et de s'instruire pour se forger un avis. Qu'on le veuille ou non, être un exemple et faire le choix d'en être un bon. Combattre le système tout devant en faire partie et y survivre. Les belles dingueries qu'on savoure et celles moins cool qu'on gère. Avoir la conscience de son corps sur scène grace à la danse. Les rencontres, les parents, la transmission et cette scène où l'on est libre… On parle du Jamel Comedy Club, d'On ne demande qu'à en rire, de l'émission Par Jupiter sur France Inter, du documentaire Is that black enough for you ?!? sur Netflix, de Jamel Debbouze, Karim Debbouze, Malik Bentalha, D'jal, Nawel Madani, Omar Sy, Tahar Rahim, Frantz Fanon, Rokhaya Diallo, Quentin Ratieuville, Jason Brokerss, Busta Rhymes, Charline Vanhoenacker, Aex Vizorek, Guy Bedos, George Carlin... sans oublier Mickael Quiroga.

Frantz Fanon (1925-1961) was a Caribbean and African psychiatrist, philosopher and revolutionary whose works, including Black Skin, White Masks and The Wretched of the Earth are hugely influential in the fields of post-colonial studies, critical theory, and post-Marxism. His legacy remains with us today, having inspired movements in Palestine, Sri Lanka, the US and South Africa. Frantz Fanon: Philosopher of the Barricades (Pluto Press, 2015) is a critical biography of his extraordinary life. Peter Hudis draws on the expanse of his life and work - from his upbringing in Martinique and early intellectual influences to his mature efforts to fuse psychoanalysis and philosophy and contributions to the anti-colonial struggle in Algeria - to counter the monolithic assumption that Fanon's contribution to modern thought is defined by the advocacy of violence.

In 1925, on the French occupied island of Martinique, one of the most prominent voices in post colonial theory was born, Frantz Fanon. He was born to parents of both African and French descent, and was brought up in the ways of French culture. For most of Fanon's life, he identified with French nationality. He even fought for France in WWII. But despite his initial loyalty to France, the French colonizers didn't see Fanon as equal. In his early adulthood, Fanon began to see colonialism for what it really was. He became a vocal critic of colonialism. In his 1961 text The Wretched of the Earth, Fanon wrote about the psychological effects of colonialism, and the psychological hurdles of decolonization.

Il y a la version officielle de la guerre d'Algérie. C'est-à-dire tronquée, tant du côté français que du côté algérien. Et puis y a la version vécue de l'intérieur par l'un des fondateurs du Parti Communiste algérien, médecin, chercheur et militant à un degré d'abnégation qui laisse songeur. Sadek Hadjeres, 86 ans au moment de cette rencontre en 2015, aura vécu le 20ème siècle au 1er rang de l'engagement, mais toujours en se dissimulant. Comme le titrait la presse algérienne, à la sortie du tome 1 de ses Mémoires «Sadek Hadjeres est un survivant de l'obscur», faisant référence à ses 30 années de vie clandestine, au nom d'un Idéal resté flamboyant jusqu'à son dernier souffle : celui de la démocratie en Algérie, mais aussi (lorsqu'on prenait le thé avec lui) la prise en compte de l'amazighité comme une composante de l'algérianité. D'une voix très tranquille, il vient de quitter cette terre en novembre 2022. Nous restent son engagement sans limite salué par le président algérien Abelmadjid Tebboune, ses Mémoires Quand une nation s'éveille 1928-1949, aux Éd. Inas, 1949, Crise berbériste ou crise démocratique, aux Éd. Frantz Fanon et cet entretien qu'il nous accordait En Sol Majeur en 2015... Rediffusion du 03/02/2015.

Frantz Fanon wrote in 1961 that 'Decolonisation is always a violent phenomenon,' meaning that the violence of colonialism can only be counteracted in kind. As colonial legacies linger today, what are the ways in which we can disentangle literary translation from its roots in imperial violence? In Violent Phenomena: 21 Essays on Translation (Tilted Axis Press, 2022), twenty-four writers and translators from across the world share their ideas and practices for disrupting and decolonising translation.

Psychoanalysis Under Occupation: Practicing Resistance in Palestine Lara Sheehi, Stephen Sheehi Heavily influenced by Frantz Fanon and critically engaging the theories of decoloniality and liberatory psychoanalysis, Lara Sheehi and Stephen Sheehi platform the lives, perspectives, and insights of psychoanalytically-inflected Palestinian psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals, centering the stories that non-clinical Palestinians have entrusted to them over four years of community engagement with clinicians throughout historic Palestine.Sheehi and Sheehi document the stories of Palestinian clinicians in relation to settler-colonialism and violence but, even more so, in relation to their patients, communities, families, and one another (as a clinical community). In doing so, they track the appearance of settler colonialism as a psychologically extractive process, one that is often effaced by discourses of "normalization," "trauma," "resilience," and human rights, with the aid of clinicians, as well as psychoanalysis.Psychoanalysis Under Occupation: Practicing Resistance in Palestine unpacks the intersection of psychoanalysis as a psychological practice in Palestine, while also advancing a set of therapeutic theories in which to critically engage and "read" the politically complex array of conditions that define life for Palestinians living under Israeli occupation. 224 pages, Hardcover Published November 8, 2021

This keynote lecture took place at the Gramsci in the Middle East & North Africa Conference organised by the LSE Middle East Centre in cooperation with Ghent University from 9-10 May, 2022. The conference explored, through empirically-grounded research, how Gramsci's work can help us make sense of our contemporary moment in the region marked by a significant expansion in resistance and uprising.

She was previously a post-doctoral fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Berlin where she was writing a book on the visual and musical archiving practices of the builders of the Aswan High Dam and the Nubian communities displaced by it. She is also a visiting scholar at Humboldt University's Lautarchiv exploring the experiences of Egyptian, Tunisian and Algerian workers and subalterns on the fronts of World War I (and resulting revolts in their regions in 1918) through songs that capture these experiences.
