May 7, 2024<\/strong><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The African Studies Centre is pleased to welcome on Tuesday 7 May, Mr. Tarik Sabry, Professor of media and cultural studies at the University of Westminster London, as part of the seminar program “The world seen from Africa: the multiple processes of decolonization” directed and presented by Prof. Ali BENMAKHLOUF, for the academic year 2023-2024.<\/p>\n

This lecture critiques discourses of \u2018knowledge decolonization\u2019 in media studies and argues for a double critique strategy that submits both local and imported media theory to an epistemic manoeuvre of territorialization and de-territorialisation. Giving examples from the contexts of Africa, China and the Middle East, this lecture argues against the facile binaries between East\/West, Global North\/Global South and enunciates a critical media theory that is both contextual (historically and epistemologically) but also and always open the thought of the other.[\/vc_column_text]
