Theatres of the Proto-Juridical
Full text linkThe paper examines privately organized peoples’ tribunals on ethnocide against
the Indigenous people of the Americas sitting over cases of land-grabbing related to infrastructural projects and extractivism. It refers to the tradition of legal criticism that scrutinizes the concepts of conviviality based on the notion of human rights as a right to private property. The paper starts with Claude Lévi-Strauss’s distinction between anthropophagic – Amazonian – and “anthropoemic” – Western – societies and then provides a short history of the Russell Tribunals with a focus on the Tribunal “on the Rights of the Indians of the Americas”, held in Rotterdam in 1980. In an examination of Milo Rau’s Congo Tribunal from 2015, it analyses the epistemic aporias the Tribunal format faces when it is supposed to judge the dispossession of communities in former colonies. The paper is a revised version of a book chapter; the book is planned to appear in 2025 with Routledge

Truths That Hurt: Socialist Affects and Conviviality in the Literary Journalism of Gabriel García Márquez and Ryszard Kapuściński
Full text linkThis working paper deals with narrative journalistic texts by Gabriel García Márquez and Ryszard Kapuściński about their journeys to the Eastern Bloc and Latin America, respectively, during the first two decades of the Cold War. García Marquez’s crónicas and Kapuściński’s reportages deliver ideas on socialism(s) and engage in affective workings of a travel experience through representations of convivial socialist spaces. By elaborating a philological approach towards socialist affects, the paper concentrates on affective narrative attunements to lived historical moments and aims at comparing both authors as they raise social and political issues pertinent to the conjuncture of the Cold War. The convivial aspect refers here not only to living together with and knowledge production about the Other as represented in the text, but also to the methodological approach with intercultural sensitivity and transregional and transnational awareness of the aesthetic developments in the hybrid field of global literary journalism
