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

This lecture considers cinema and other moving images narrative as a potent force for constructing subjectivities and thereby identities. It explores how this powerful medium was deployed in support of western European expansionism in modernity, and how, given the global slide to the right of recent years, Europe is left vulnerable by an ongoing expansionist logic of the moving images industry. The lecture reflects on the question: "What can be done to fulfil cinema's, and other moving images narrative's potential as a medium of democratic construction and consolidation?"
