Dictionary of Now #3 - Wole Soyinka & Manthia Diawara - TRUTH
May 4, 2016 7pm Film, discussion A meeting of the Nobel laureate in
literature Wole Soyinka and the film theorist Manthia Diawara to
discuss the notion of truth against the background of global
postcolonial conflicts. What role does the truth play in the
context of violence and human rights violations, of reconciliation
and reparations? What forms of truth speaking are linked to
personal freedom and what create new ostracizing power structures?
Are there universal truths? And what truth is generated by fiction
or documentaries? The Négritude movement and Glissant’s poetry of
relation will be the starting point for Diawara and Soyinka’s
examination of techniques of assertion and methods of truth
production.
