Conversations in Atlantic Theory

Jason Allen-Paisant on Engagements with Aimé Césaire: Thinking with Spirits

14 Jul 2024

Description

You’re listening to Conversations in Atlantic Theory, a podcast dedicated to books and ideas generated from and about the Atlantic world. In collaboration with the Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy, these conversations explore the cultural, political, and philosophical traditions of the Atlantic world, ranging from European critical theory to the black Atlantic to sites of indigenous resistance and self-articulation, as well as the complex geography of thinking between traditions, inside traditions, and from positions of insurgency, critique, and counternarrative.Today's discussion is with with Professor Jason Allen-Paisant, a Jamaican writer, multi-award-winning poet, Professor of Critical Theory and Creative Writing at University of Manchester and Associate Editor of Callaloo Literary Journal. In this conversation, we discuss his monograph Engagements with Aimé Césaire: Thinking with Spirits, published by Oxford University Press in May 2024. In this conversation, Professor Allen-Paisant explores how Césaire's work articulates for him a way in which poetry eliminates borders between the self and the external world and introduces what he calls, ‘pedagogies of participation’, ‘pedagogies of thinking with spirits’ to allow for the embrace and co-existence of multiple truths and ways of living and being.
