Considering current global events, old and ongoing imperialistic views, and wars, we are exploring a multi-geography perspective about postcolonial movements, from all continents and regions. The panel participants are invited to present either a theoretical or original empirical research comprising any collective actions that encompass:
- Racism, subalternity, and internal colonialism;
- Independence, sovereignty, and/or autonomy movements that may include regional, intra-nations, and intra-ethnic realities;
- immigration and integration that may include decolonization, postcolonial and hybridity;
- environmental colonialism and environmental imperialism, either current or historic.
Other than classic postcolonial approaches in sociology, we are also welcoming original perspectives that include science, technology and medicine, policymaking (i.e. reviewing sedimented practices, also implemented by public health institutions), history and sociology of knowledge, gender, geography, and political studies on intra-nation and interethnic relation.
Classic and new interpretations of coloniality are welcome: we particularly encourage analyses that go beyond and avoid dichotomic, binary or simplistic views about geopolitics and, more in general, our current societies. As a decentralized reflection on coloniality, we are also expecting decentralized perspectives on subalternity and dependency that bring new lights on old or new geographies of power.
