This symposium seeks to examine Frantz Fanon’s political, cultural and intellectual relationship to Italy, a place where he forged important friendships and connections, and where he was the victim of a failed assassination attempt. In this symposium, we also hope to explore a series of connections, texts and films (such as The Battle of Algiers) that trace the considerable influence Fanon had on both Italian Third-Worldist/leftist intellectual milieux, and on Italian critical theory today.
Invited speakers: Robert Young (NYU), Miguel Mellino (Università di Napoli L’Orientale), Sandro Mezzadra (University of Bologna), others TBC.
