Statement zur Ausladung von Francesca Albanese: „Wo, wenn nicht an einer #Universitat

“Nach Druck aus der #Politik hat die Freie Universität Berlin (@freieuniversitaet) die für den 19. Februar 2025 als öffentliche Präsenzveranstaltung geplanten Vorträge der Völkerrechtswissenschaftlerin und UN-Sonderberichterstatterin für die besetzten palästinensischen Gebiete, Francesca #Albanese, und des israelischen Architekten Prof. Eyal #Weizman abgesagt. Eine Woche zuvor hatte schon die Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München einen Vortrag von Francesca Albanese untersagt. Das Vorgehen bestätigt einen besorgniserregenden Trend: Politische #Einflussnahme untergräbt die #Hochschulautonomie und gefährdet die #Wissenschaftsfreiheit.”

I'm german, have been living since nearly 40 years in France, mostly in Brittany, now retired from University - continue independant and free research, speaking three languages, even if English isn't my most spontaneous tongue, I wanted to do this in english.
I came here like many others, I suppose, exhausted by hate speech on X, publicity, reels, influencers and a lot of other shit on facebook, instagram, etc., but I'm not really a fan of microblogging, that's why facebook did the job for me nearly 15 years. After a first account on mastodon.social @danahilliot with his long posts made me discover climatejustice.social - so it's not only the aims but also the possibility to develop an idea without cutting it in little pieces.
I'm interested in #decolonial #theories, #activism, #global thinking, because euro or occident centered ideas ar obsolete for me in all domains, social, economic, political, ecological and so on. After been formed by #Foucald #Benjamin, #Deleuze, #Derrida reading and studying in the 90ies, nowadays inspirations of mine are mostly Donna #Haraway, Ariella Aisha #Azoulay, Eyal #Weizman, Anna Loewenhaupt #Tsing, but I never stop discovering and go back to older reading periods.
I'm reading a lot (essays, fiction and non-fiction) and have now the time to do it, as I have the time for a lot of movies and other medias, any of them is influential in my thinking and writing.
