SUMMARY:Wien: Remi Tchokothe presents his new book in conversation with Daniela Waldburger
DESCRIPTION:“(S)he came as a cousin and left as a gendarme”Balladur “Visa of Death”\, Kwassa Kwassa and (Im)mobility in the Comoros \n\n\n\nIn Conversation: Rémi Tchokothe and Daniela Waldburger \n\n\n\n« She came as a cousin and left as a gendarme. » This anecdote captures both the identity paradox of the Comoros and the ‘migration’ drama that has occurred there since the arbitrary 1995 introduction of the Balladur Visa by the French government. Mayotte has been labelled “the biggest marine graveyard in the world” because of the death of thousands of people who wanted to reach Mayotte in teetering boats known as Kwassa Kwassa. How can works of imagination that describe “migration” from the neighbouring island of Anjouan to the ‘French’ territory of Mayotte constitute a kind of collective social therapy and social intervention? This book answers this and other urgent literary\, human\, and sociopolitical questions through a study of 18 works of fiction\, combining literary studies with anthropology\, international law\, sociology\, and history. \n\n\n\nThe conversation will take place at the Department of African Studies – Seminar room 1University Campus\, court 5.1.\, Spitalgasse 2\, 1090 Vienna \n\n\n\nThis book is the product of nearly 6 years of intensive research\, years of doubting standard methods\, years of dealing with an anthropology of anger with geopolitical injustices and neocolonial politics\, years of meeting the right people\, years of developing new relational research methods\, years of lockdown unlocking the writing process\, years of joy\, and years of frustration by the peer review process\, etc. These years of struggle have been worthwhile: the book is available in open access format\, thanks to funding from the Cluster of Excellence: Africa Multiple: Reconfiguring African Studies at the University of Bayreuth\, where Rémi Tchokothe began the project before joining the University of Vienna.  \n\n\n\nA free copy available is under this link:  \n\n\n\n‚Entré en tant que cousin\, sorti en tant que gendarme‘ – Visa Balladur\, Kwassa Kwassa\, (im)mobilité et géopoét(h)ique relationnelle aux Comores | Brill \n\n\n\nIn this conversation\, Rémi Tchokothe will answer questions from Daniela Waldburger\, who has studied the Comoros and is currently designing a research project on Language in Violence and Violence of Language in Mayotte. \n\n\n\nKeywords: ‘Black Skin\, White Masks’; ‘Balladur Visa’; Comoros Archipelago; ‘Geographies of Sensibilities’; ‘Le Pleurer-Rire’; Youth Violence; Kwassa Kwassa; Intersectional (Im)mobility
