Beskrivning
The concept of concurrences is a blanket term for challenging dominating statements of the past and present. Concurrent stories have varying claims to reality and fiction, as well as different, diverging, and at times competing claims to society, culture, identity, and historical past. Dominant Western narrations about colonial power relationships are challenged by alternative sources such as heritage objects and oral traditions, enabling the voice of minorities or subaltern groups to be heard. Concurrences is about capturing multiple voices and multiple temporalities. As such, it is both a relational and dynamic methodology and a theoretical perspective that undergirds the multiple workings of power, uncovering asymmetrical power relations. Interdisciplinary in nature, this anthology is the outcome of scholarship from the humanities and social sciences with an interest in the multiple temporality of postcolonial issues and engagements in various places across the world.

“If you have been asking yourself where the contributions from the humanities and the social sciences to understand the complexities of the troubled times we live in are, you may want to read this book. Revitalizing terms such as ‘culture’ or ‘history’ for their multiple, conflicting, contradictory, and messing meanings;  by putting us in the midst of the interplay of multiple voices, agencies, and desires which make up social relations; by refining the notion that societies and histories are complex and must be analyzed in their concurrent dimensions, the essays in the anthology provide a unique operational tool to think of the present, to rethink and re-write distinct pasts that we have taken for granted, and – in sum – to decolonize our ways of thinking.”—Dr. Nuno Porto, Curator—Africa and Latin America—Museum of Anthropology, Associate, Department of Art History and Visual Art & Theory, University of British Columbia
