"Listen to the white world appallingly weary from its immense effort the crack of its joints rebelling under the hardness of the stars listen to the proclaimed victories which trumpet their defeats listen to their grandiose alibis (stumbling so lamely)"

US #Marines have been sent into numerous countries to defend corporate dictatorships against the people. To see them in my home county, protecting ICE terrorists against community anger, is a nice demonstration of #AiméCésaire's #ImperialBoomerang. Here's a #TomLehrer song on it.

If I could pick two items and give up all other things I ever possessed, I would choose this collection of poems by Aimé Césaire and my bike.

What would you choose?

Happy new year

„Das Rad ist die schönste Entdeckung des Menschen und seine einzige
da ist die Sonne sie dreht sich
da ist die Erde sie dreht sich
da ist dein Gesicht es dreht sich auf der Achse deines Halses wenn du weinst
ihr aber Minuten werdet ihr nicht die Lebensspule
das aufgeleckte Blut wickeln
die Kunst zu leiden ist spitzig und scharf wie Baumstummel unter den Messern des Winters
die Hündin vom Nichttrinken trunken
die unerwartet mir auf dem Brunnenrand dein Gesicht eines entmasteten Schoners weist
dein Gesicht
wie am Grund eines Sees ein entschlafenes Dorf
das wiedergeboren wird am Tag des Grases an Neujahr
als Keim“
(Aimé Césaire)

« La roue est la plus belle découverte de l’homme et la seule
il y a le soleil qui tourne
il y a la terre qui tourne
il y a ton visage qui tourne sur l’essieu de ton cou quand tu pleures
mais vous minutes n‘enroulerez-vous pas sur la bobine à
vivre le sang lapé
l’art de souffrir aiguisé comme des moignons d’arbre par les couteaux de l’hiver
la biche saoule de ne pas boire
qui me pose sur la margelle inattendue ton
visage de goélette démâtée
ton visage
comme un village endormi au fond d’un lac
et qui renaît au jour de l’herbe et de l’année
germe »
(Aimé Césaire)

From Césaire to Glissant: African Philosophy between Literature, Politics, and Multilingual Thought

Interview with Romuald Fonkoua

https://www.uni-hildesheim.de/glophi/2025/05/28/from-cesaire-to-glissant-african-philosophy-between-literature-politics-and-multilingual-thought/

GloPhi – Philosophizing in a Globalized World · May 28From Césaire to Glissant: African Philosophy between Literature, Politics, and Multilingual Thought – GloPhi – Philosophizing in a Globalized WorldIn this interview, Prof. Romuald Fonkoua reflects on the historical and contemporary significance of Présence Africaine, both as a publishing house and as an intellectual platform. Since assuming the role of editor-in-chief in 1999, Fonkoua has overseen the journal's engagement with questions central to African philosophy, particularly its emergence as a legitimate academic discourse in a postcolonial context. He emphasizes the journal's foundational role in legitimizing African historical and philosophical scholarship, especially in its early engagement with authors like Placide Tempels and Cheikh Anta Diop.

Juego tipográfico con frase de Aimé Césaire

Realicé este juego tipográfico con una de las frases más fuertes de el Discurso sobre el Colonialismo de Aimé Césaire. Lo hice en Inkscape usando la fuente DINish, que rápidamente se está volviendo una de mis favoritas. Hice una versión en gringlés y otra en español, pero debería también hacer una en el francés original.

A great analysis of why liberal socialist universality (anti-woke left) will not liberate us, flattens the class war, undermines workers' rights, hampers solidarity, and, last but not least, is now also a footsoldier of fascism.

“and that, at bottom, what he cannot forgive Hitler for is not crime in itself, the crime against man, it is not the humiliation of man as such, it is the crime against the white man, the humiliation of the white man, and the fact that he applied to Europe colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria, the coolies of India, and the blacks of Africa.”

Aimé Césaire still right
