Synopsis

The debates surrounding the decentralization of academia in Germany can be illustrated using the example of African Studies. The contributors examine the history of the field while presenting concepts for its reconfiguration. Organized in the form of a glossary with a focus on African Studies and Bayreuth, it addresses themes such as intersectionality and decoloniality, memory and future-making, relationality and reflexivity, and diaspora and African nation states. This volume dedicated to Rüdiger Seesemann reflects his influential role in introducing »reconfiguration« to German academia and shaping institutional strategies for future scholarship.
