Histories of the Non-Aligned Movement keep opening up a variety of unexplored topics, as well as new perspectives on its organisation and the promotion of transnational networks of solidarity. In doing so, these new perspectives help in formulating critical questions about the legacies of this political platform, and encouraging new forms of responsibility in term of for whom, how and why histories of non-alignment are being narrated. Defined by a vast global network and diverse epistemic regimes, this field of research is inseparable from ongoing discussions on the decolonisation of knowledge production and demands the diversification of agents, as well as new ways of creating and narrating. The narratives that emerge from these discussions shed light on less known contradictions, providing new insights and addressing important methodological challenges.
This workshop gathers researchers from different backgrounds: historians, architectural historians/curators and artists, with the aim of critically reassess the complexities of the Non-Aligned Movement through several case studies. While diverse in their geographies and approaches, participants’ presentations will revolve around the common questions of how these histories came to be, and how can they be explored and narrated in ways that are meaningful in the present.
Presentations by Jelena Đurejnović, Vladimir Kulić, Behzad Khosravi Noori and Magnus Bärtås will be followed by a panel discussion of the participants, moderated by Sanja Horvatinčić and Paul Stubbs.
