5.Part of the event series – 140 Years of the Berlin Africa Conference: Imperialism yesterday and today –
In front 140 Years ago, European colonial powers met in Berlin, to negotiate the division of the African continent between themselves. While just a few years before the conference, only a fraction of Africa was under colonial rule, was the end of 19. In the 19th century, almost the entire continent was under Great Britain, France, Germany, Portugal, Italy, Belgium and Spain divided. The Berlin Africa Conference 1884/1885 is symbolic of this race for Africa and is considered the high phase of European imperialism. Rather, as a historically closed phenomenon, Imperial conditions continue to have an impact in many ways today or appear in new guises.
With this series of events we want to, the field of development policy and postcolonial studies, the diverse political, trace and discuss economic and epistemic lines of connection between imperialism then and today.
In terms of content, the first part of the event is dedicated to German colonial rule in Togo and Namibia. In the second part we look at colonial continuities in the global political economy and discuss current forms of energy colonialism, Neocolonialism and imperialism. Finally we show the documentary “Walter Rodney: What They Don’t Want You to Know”.
