Indigenous Artists and Museum Encounters (Seminar)

Inhalt: Alongside restitution demands, how else to approach European museums and their large collections of Indigenous (as well as Afro-diasporic) "objects"? This is a pressing question especially for descendants of communities that have been subject to extractivist enterprises – including the extraction of material heritage – under colonial or national-state administrations. A number of Indigenous artists have played an interesting role between communities and museums housing their "obejcts", and in the seminar we will work closely with Mapuche artist and activist Francisco Huichaqueo to explore this dynamic. The seminar consists of a theoretical and a practice-oriented part: the first part takes place every two weeks in Lüneburg and is based on readings and discussions on institutions, ethnography, Indigeneity, etc. The second part consists on the creation and performance of an enounter with the Mapuche collection in Humboldtforum (Berlin) during the first week of February, guided by Huichaqueo.

Theories, Practices, and Theologies of Liberation (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Sebastián Eduardo Dávila

Termin:
wöchentlich | Mittwoch | 10:15 - 11:45 | 14.10.2024 - 31.01.2025 | C 40.165 Seminarraum

Inhalt: The seminar discusses central texts from the so-called theology of liberation since the 1960s, especially in Latin America, relating its main concepts, theories and methods to later theories, for example on decoloniality, and contemporary political and cultural practices. Examples include the tension between – Catholic – practices of faith and anti- or decolonial, Marxist and feminist struggles; the relation between the concepts of liberation and emancipation, but also between theological methods – for instance biblical hermeneutics –and secular (or post-secular) critical traditions of thought. Possible authors include Gustavo Gutiérrez and Archbishop Óscar Romero, Michelle Gonzalez and Marcella Althaus-Reid.
