Main themes
Since post-colonial independence, several currents and theories have renewed the way of writing history and decoding current societies. These critical and analytical tools invite a geographical, mental and temporal "decentring" and allow us to understand past and present systems of thought and action, here and elsewhere, from a different perspective.
This course will allow students to acquire basic knowledge (theoretical frameworks and analytical tools) and to practice "decentering" in history and social sciences, by integrating "subaltern" actors, often invisibilized, into the historical narrative.
