Sandra Ponzanesi guest editor for special issue of Interventions
Prof. (Gender Studies) served as guest editor for a special issue of Interventions. International Journal of Postcolonial Studies. The issue is titled The Point of Europe: Postcolonial Entanglements (Volume 18, Issue 2, 2016).
In The Point of Europe contributors ask the question whether or not Europe – what is called ‘Europe’ as a geographic, geopolitical, historical entity whose definition was never unambiguous and will never be, but which nevertheless signals a unique crystallisation of traditions and conflicts – has in recent years crossed a defining limit in its relationship to its own past. They consider this question in particular in relation to Europe's colonial past, which mirrors a radically altered relationship to the rest of the world. Among the contributors to this issue are Prof. Dr Sandra Ponzanesi, Prof. Dr Étienne Balibar, Prof. Dr Bruce Robbins, Prof. Dr , Dr , and Dr .
