‘Frantz Fanon: Black Skin, White Mask’: Film Screening<\/p>\n
Thursday 2nd March 4pm-c. 5:20pm. Room BSTC (Barbara Strange Teaching Centre, Bedson Building) 1.46<\/p>\n
As part of the extra-curricular philosophy activities we’ve been organising, I’m showing a film on the 20th Century existentialist and philosopher of colonialism and race, Frantz Fanon, called ‘Black Skin, White Mask’ (after his book, entitled, Black Skin, White Masks. You might also know his work entitled, The Wretched of the Earth).<\/p>\n
Everyone of whatever discipline who’s interested is more than welcome, and if you want to talk about it afterwards, I’m very happy to go to the pub and be bought drinks until I make sense.<\/p>\n
It should interest everyone, but particularly those who want to find out about how existentialism and phenomenology were developed so as to address questions of race, colonialism, empire, exploitation, etc.<\/p>\n
It’s a documentary, I should say, with some half-dramatic reconstructions.<\/p>\n
The details:<\/p>\n
