Abstract

This session explores the relationship between law, temporality, and coloniality through the lens of (black) fictions and literature across the twentieth century. By examining literary works, we will deconstruct colonial narratives embedded in legal frameworks and interrogate the contradictory temporalities underlying notions of progress, modernization, and development. The seminar will delve into discourses on colonial utopias and their intersection with international law, while also highlighting the role of fiction in imagining and constructing alternative futures.Speakers: Olaoluwa Oni, Dr Ruth Houghton
