Issue No 9

Membrane

Permeable Thinking in African/-diasporic Literatures and Art

Within the framework of the international literature festival »Membrane – African Literatures and Ideas,« curated by Felwine Sarr, Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor, and Nadja Ofuatey-Alazard; and initiated by Literaturhaus Stuttgart, Institut français and the Akademie Schloss Solitude, this special Schlosspost issue amplifies the questions and conversations occurring at the festival. These include »Who defines ›African‹ identity?,« »What are the other ways of ›Africa‹?«. This issue also opens up new conversations by fostering and challenging the concept of »Africanity,« Afro-European and Afropolitanism, and by reflecting on questions of race, borders, colonialism, temporal disruptors, and existing vocabularies.
For this issue, Schlosspost worked closely together with the writer and editor Dzekashu MacViban.
