(Self) Images of postcolonial West and Central Africa. African and European cinematographic representation in comparative perspective
The PhD project investigates the self-image of West- and Central Africa as it has been presented in the post-colonial narrative films from 1963 until 2007. It compares these representations with European cinematic representations from the same period. The comparison allows for a cultural-philosophical critique on Eurocentric representations of 'the Other' starting from postcolonial film-studies, post-structural anthropology and deconstruction philosophy.
