March 30, 2022. Report by Khokholkova N.E. within the framework of the scientific seminar "Culture and Society"

On March 30, 2022, a report was presented by a senior researcher, Ph.D. Nadezhda Evgenievna Khokholkova "Postcolonial Approach in African Studies: Apology, Criticism, Alternatives" within the regular scientific seminar of the Center for History and Cultural Anthropology "Culture and Society".

The postcolonial method, through which the so-called former subalterns, through the revision of the colonial past, began to construct an acceptable present, is to this day one of the most discussed in the space of the humanities. The debatability of the postcolonial approach is due to both the activities of its critics and the activities of its apologists. Of particular interest in this context are the views and academic activism of researchers of African descent. The report was devoted to the problem of perception and application of the post-colonial approach by researchers of African descent.
