Now that the philosophical value of Fanon\u2019s work is finally being recognised, we should also ask what it can teach us about the contemporary world. In what ways can Fanon\u2019s writings help us understand more recent political uprisings and revolutions, as well as new forms of resistance? In what ways can Fanon shed light upon a political landscape transformed by technology and twenty-first century globalization.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Speakers<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/westengland.academia.edu\/MichaelBurns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Michael Burns<\/a><br \/>\nLecturer in Philosophy, University of the West of England<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/research-information.bristol.ac.uk\/en\/persons\/madhu-krishnan(e1dcf2bb-14a3-474e-b2df-ab018910daec).html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Madhu Krishnan<\/a><br \/>\nLecturer in English Literature, University of Bristol<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www2.warwick.ac.uk\/fac\/soc\/sociology\/staff\/research\/johnnarayan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Narayan<\/a><br \/>\nLeverhulme Early Career Fellow in Sociology &amp; Academic Director of the New Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies, University of Warwick<\/p>\n<p>Chair<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lse.ac.uk\/europeanInstitute\/research\/forumForEuropeanPhilosophy\/whosWho\/Fellow-DanielleSands.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Danielle Sands<\/a><br \/>\nLecturer in Comparative Literature and Culture at Royal Holloway, University of London &amp; Fellow, Forum for Philosophy<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Recorded on 1 February\u00a02016 at the LSE<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a class=\"button\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/ac\/ERKS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Subscribe to podcasts<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Burns\/\u00a0Madhu Krishnan\/\u00a0John Narayan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1169,"featured_media":10383,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_expiration-date-status":"saved","_expiration-date":0,"_expiration-date-type":"","_expiration-date-categories":[],"_expiration-date-options":[]},"categories":[109,165],"tags":[],"coauthors":[153],"class_list":["post-9047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-podcast","category-from-the-vaults"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/files\/2020\/05\/5-MI-SCH.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6zUjQ-2lV","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1169"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9047"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9047\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10984,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9047\/revisions\/10984"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9047"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=9047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
