Ein Vortrag von Tsitsi Dangarembga im Rahmen der Internationalen Gastdozentur am Jakob-Fugger-Zentrum im Sommersemster 2025

This lecture consideres the questions "What is colonialism? Has it ended? Where if anywhere might it still be practised How?" by situating the idelogical impulse for southward expansion of Europe in the Doctrine of Discover which emerged in western Europe at the end of its middle ages. It characterises this Dotrine of Discovery as a shared rationalisation by the Western European Christian Church and the region's political leadership of the economic policy of the time, a project continued by the philosophy of the Enlightenment. It proposes the notion of "meta-colonisation" in answer to the questions posed.
