Towards Emancipation: Decoloniality and Critical Social Theory in the Primordial School of Thought presents a rigorous exploration of non-Western intellectual traditions and their potential to reshape the contours of contemporary social theory. Seyed Javad Miri interrogates the contributions of seminal thinkers such as Allama Tabatabai, Ali Shariati, Imam Musa Sadr, and Syed Hussein Alatas, whose ideas, though rooted in specific cultural and historical contexts, transcend their origins to offer universally relevant insights into modernity, social ontology, and the intricate dynamics of human agency. In this scholarly work, Miri engages with the central tenets of decolonial theory, critically assessing the lingering influence of Eurocentric epistemologies and social structures, and articulates the enduring relevance of these frameworks in challenging the intellectual legacy of colonialism.

Food for thought: Anti-Zionism as Decolonisation
"It is essential to note that Palestinians have never rejected Jewish indigeneity in Palestine. However, the liberation movement has differentiated between zionist settlers and Jewish natives. Palestinians have established a clear and rational framework for this distinction, like in the Thawabet, the National Charter of Palestine from 1968. Article 6 states, ‘The Jews who had normally resided in Palestine until the beginning of the Zionist invasion will be considered Palestinians.’
When individuals misread ‘decolonisation’ as ‘the mass killing or expulsion of Jews,’ it is often a reflection of their own entanglement in colonialism or a result of zionist propaganda. Perpetuating this rhetoric is a deliberate misinterpretation of Palestinian thought, which has maintained this position over a century of indigenous organising."

In this essay, Leila Shomali and Lara Kilani, two Palestinian writers, detail what it means to be anti-zionist, laying out foundational concepts and definitions as they explore essential strategies and tactics for a militant decolonial movement against settler-colonialism.
Johan Grimonprez is one of the most thought-provoking filmmakers around.

ANTI-ART #thread #anti-art (critique of the art system and the figure of the artist)

💾 The beauty of #Solarpunk is that there can be so many angles: #technology, social infrastructure, #nature, #trauma, #decolonialism, etc.
Realistically, a single story can't take all of those on at the same time (although a masterful author can be able to weave everything together). Yet it seems to me that all these stories are choosing the same angle with very little variation.
Perhaps we shouldn’t look at Grist like the paragon of solarpunk but rather, as they write themselves, just #Clifi.
