Decolonising governance / Archipelagic thinking with Paul Carter, John Cunningham, Melinda Hinkson & Priya Srinivasan

Power may be globalised, but Westphalian notions of sovereignty continue to determine political and legal arrangements domestically and internationally: global issues—the legacy of colonialism expressed in continuing human displacement and environmental destruction—are thus treated “parochially” and ineffectually. Reform in this case is not simply operational but conceptual: political relationships need to be drawn differently; the cultural illiteracy that prevents the local knowledge invested in places made after their stories needs to be recognised as a major obstacle to decolonising governance’.

Paul will be in conversation with
John Cunningham, Curator and Creative director
Melinda Hinkson, Anthropologist and Director of IPCS
Priya Srinivasan, Performance Studies Scholar

Decolonising Governance is published by Routledge as part of the Institute of Postcolonial Studies’ Writing Past Colonialism series.

Filmed at the Institute of Postcolonial Studies on Wednesday 5 June 2019 by Felix Morreo Zissermann.
