Andrawos, Abdelrahman, and Halbouni: Tarek El-Bishry as a Post-Colonial Thinker by Forum Transregionale Studien published on 2022-05-19T10:45:05Z The roundtable by Amr Abdelrahman (AUC), Nader Andrawos (AUC) and Fouad Halbouni (EUME Fellow 2021/22) was held in the framework of the virtual Berliner Seminar on 20 April 2022. The conversation on “Tarek El-Bishry as a Post-Colonial Thinker” was discussed by Angela Giordani (Abdallah S. Kamel Resident Research Fellow, Yale Law School). The roundtable included three interventions addressing the following questions: 1. How is colonialism addressed as an analytical category throughout his extensive intellectual legacy, especially, in relation to his changing political commitments? How has his Islamic political commitments influenced his analysis of colonialism and the means to overturn its effects on the ‘colonized self’ (using his own words)? 2. How did al-Bishry mediate between the discrepant political and intellectual legacies, whether leftist, liberal and Islamic traditions, that shaped his thinking and continued to influence his political commitments throughout his life? 3. How does El-Bishry address the historical role of Copts in anticolonial struggles? 4. How may we assess his legacy today, especially in relation to the political trajectories that arose following the late Egyptian revolution? How can we assess his role in the recent Egyptian revolution? For more information, see: https://bit.ly/3Mzu0yP Genre Wissenschaft
