We invite you to Françoise Vergès‘ lecture entitled Decolonizing Feminisms and to the book launch of the Czech translation of her book Decolonial Feminism (Karolinum 2025). The lecture will take place on March 11, 2025 at 4 pm in the main building of the Faculty of Arts, room P018. The lecture will be held in English and moderated by Zuzana Uhde.
What is decolonization and why should feminism be decolonized? In what ways do some feminisms participate in colonization, dispossession and exploitation? Françoise Vergès answers these questions by looking at Western feminist history and theory and what decolonial feminism proposes.
Françoise Vergès is a French-Réunion political theorist, feminist, independent curator, public educator and decolonial activist. In her book Decolonial Feminism, the author presents a multilayered critique of the contemporary global order from the perspective of decolonial feminism in a readable form, linking critiques of racism, patriarchy, capitalism and imperialism.
The book was translated by Markéta Jakešová. The foreword was written by Zuzana Uhde and Vojtěch Šarše. The book will be on sale on the spot with a 20% discount
The event is organized by Karolinum Publishing House, the Institute of Sociology of the CAS and the Faculty of Arts of Charles University.
