Join Us for the Brownbag Seminar entitled “S\u00e9nghor and Biko: A Thesis Towards Black Consciousness” <\/strong>by\u00a0Sithole, Tendayi,<\/strong> (Professor, Department of Political Sciences, UNISA)<\/p>\n

We invite you to a compelling seminar that explores the intersection of Negritude and Black Consciousness. In this presentation, Sithole, Tendayi (UNISA), will examine the concept of the thesis<\/em> as the analytical fold that yields Black Consciousness, focusing on the relationship between Senghor and Biko.<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong>
\nThis paper argues that the concept of the thesis<\/em> is crucial to understanding Black Consciousness. By analyzing citationality as a practice, the discussion will explore the dialectic of intention and tension, drawing connections between Negritude and Black Consciousness. A key focus will be on how Biko\u2019s philosophy of Black Consciousness was shaped through his engagement with Senghor’s work, revealing a movement from the thetic<\/em> to the thesis<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
