Day Five: The View from the South

In the “Antifascist Neorealisms” chapter from Right to Look, I analyze ways of seeing from the South that are applied to fascism, colonialism and the resistance to them. In this workshop, we’ll map these terms and think them through in terms of The Battle of Algiers. We’ll be mindful of the figure of the “Algerian” in present-day French fascism and of the critical figure of the “refugee” from Africa to Europe, dying in their thousands.
