African Modernities
colloquium of the
École Normale Supérieure
which was held in early June 2022.
Why launch, as the historian Achille Mbembe had proposed, a "nomadic campus" between France, Europe and Africa?
How to decompartmentalize knowledge, decentralize attention and circulate ideas and the humans who carry them in a sustainable way?
Why start with an interdisciplinary and international, hybrid and mobile course on new understandings of the world in partnership with the CNRS and African universities throughout the continent?
What are the intellectual, scientific, pedagogical, but also political, environmental and social challenges of this Suds programme, which is ambitious and inspiring in both form and content?
