I'm german, have been living since nearly 40 years in France, for the most part in Brittany, now retired from University - continue to do independant and free research, I'm speaking three languages, and even if English isn't my most spontaneous tongue, I wanted to do this in english.
I came here like many others, I suppose, exhausted by hate speech on X, publicity, reels, influencers and a lot of other shit on facebook, instagram, etc., but I'm not really a fan of microblogging, that's why facebook did the job for me for nearly 15 years. After a first account on mastodon.social @danahilliot with his long posts made me discover climatejustice.social - so it's not only the aims but also the possibility to develop an idea without cutting it in little pieces.
I'm interested in #decolonial #theories, #activism, #global thinking, because euro or occident centered ideas ar obsolete for me in all domains, social, economic, political, ecological and so on. After been formed by #Foucald #Benjamin, #Deleuze, #Derrida reading and studying in the 90ies, nowadays inspirations of mine are Donna #Haraway, Ariella Aisha #Azoulay, Eyal #Weizman, Anna Loewenhaupt #Tsing, but I never stop discovering and go back to older reading periods (I.e. Kittler).
I'm reading a lot (essays, fiction and non-fiction) and fortunately have now the time to do it, as I have the time for a lot of movies and other medias, any of them is influential in my thinking and writing.

Du coup j'explore le podcast #Afrotopiques et je découvre le génial Emmanuel #Ndione qui raconte comment dans son enfance les Sénégalais détournaient à leur façon les consignes des "développeurs" venus leur expliquer comment cultiver leurs terres... Vivement conseillé ! ❤️

Quelque part ça rejoint les récits d'Anna Lowenhaupt #Tsing sur les habitants des forêts indonésiennes et leurs #frictions avec les logiques globales capitalistes détruisant leur environnement...
