Diversity/Medialities

Inclusion and diversity have marked the demands of social move ments in the 21st century. With the concept intersectionality, inspired by feminist movements in the US, the academic field aims to understand how various interdependent conditions of opp res sion and inequality-class, gender, religion, ethnicity, skin color, citizenship, migration, geography, and language-are re flec ted in exclusion, but also in the articulation of differentiated demands and struggles. Much less visible have been the voices of academics and activists from Latin America, who have both made perceivable and conceptualized social and political exclusion from the peripheries. the lecture series focuses on these voices from the margins, their longterm conceptual and epistemological frameworks, and their forms and media of circulation and entanglements.
