| Abstract
|
:
|
"Building upon recent interest in Henri Bergson's social and political philosophy, this volume highlights extensions and critiques of Bergson's writings through the lenses of critical philosophy of race and decolonial theory. Placing Bergson's work in conversation with theorists from Africa, the African Diaspora, and Latin America, the contributors examine Bergson's influence within literature, science studies, aesthetics, metaphysics, and social and political philosophy to show the role that his work has played within differing geopolitical contexts. The volume pays particular attention to both theoretical and practical forms of critical resistance work, including historical analyses of decolonial and anti-racist movements that have engaged with Bergson's writings, for instance, the Négritude movement, the Indigenismo movement, and the Peruvian Socialist Party. These historical and theoretical intersections provide a timely and innovative contribution to the existing scholarship on Bergson, and demonstrates the importance of Bergson's thought for contemporary social and political issues"--
