The Unconscious in the Wake of Frantz Fanon and Édouard Glissant is a one-day colloquium inviting scholars from across the humanities to reflect on the points of relation and divergence between Fanon and Glissant’s thought on the unconscious. Grounding our discussion in recent developments in Black studies, decolonial philosophy, and critical psychoanalytic theory, we aim to create a locus for considering the continuing relevance of Glissant and Fanon’s ideas on social psychology for counter-mapping and resisting the remainders of coloniality that continue to undergird the present world.

The colloquium will be held at Newcastle University on 6 November 2024, and will run in a hybrid format.

The colloqium is organized by members of Newcastle University’s School X and is generously supported by the Leverhulme Trust.
