  • No Partial Public Sympathies: A Categorial Imperative Unlike Any Other

The CHR will be hosting a public lecture by Professor Grovogui on Monday, 24 October at the District Six Homecoming Centre.

‘No Partial Public Sympathies’ forms part of the annual CHR Winter School programme which is gathering this year around the question of The Minor.

The principle of ‘no partial public sympathy’ has for four centuries guided political and institutional experimentation in the Africana diaspora from Palmares to Haiti. It comes from a unique sense of political subjectivity on the part of sections of the Africana diaspora and a self-assigned historical mission on their part to heal the world in the wake of enslavement and colonialism. This categorical and institutionalized imperative has therefore been central to the political aspiration of generations of African-descended people and has application beyond the context of its inception. The goal of this public lecture is not only to speak to its historical manifestations in Africana thought, an event lost on modern political theory and philosophical systems, but to also point to the tragedy of its non-recognition as source of much tragedy in the world today – including in Africa.

Date: Monday 24th October 2022

Time: 17:30

Venue: District Six Homecoming Centre (Corner of Caledon St and Buitenkant St)

RSVP: centreforhumanitiesresearch@uwc.ac.za
