Decolonisation and independent publishing in Greece

Title

Date

6 November 2021

Abstract

A discussion with small, independent publishers that share a common interest in post-/decolonial studies, feminist theory, and writings on racism/antiracism. The aim of the discussion is to explore and extend the thinking and practice that inspires the publication of such books in Greece in the early 21st century. How does this publishing activity act as a gesture of distancing from, critique and rethinking of, and resisting dominant (national) discourses and biopolitical forms of managing interconnected “crises” – the economic or migrant crisis, racial and gender violence. Relevant books will be on sale at the symposium venue.

Participating publishers: Epekeina, Synadelfon, Red Marks, Topovoros
