Gaps in the Historical Consciousness of Germans
 African Worlds

A new reference work about the Black Continent sheds light on the interdependences of the precolonial, colonial and postcolonial history of Africa. Its author, Helmut Bley, is professor emeritus of African history, as well as a founder member and long-standing board chairman at the Institute for African Studies in Germany. In this interview with “Latitude” he presents a case for appreciating the diverse character of Africa.

Pop and Electronic Music 2021
 Where’s the booster?

2021 was supposed to be the post-pandemic year for pop music. Such was the prevailing hope as Germany’s Covid-stricken music and event industry embarked on a summer of culture in which, at least for a brief spell, everything seemed almost normal again. But then came the fourth wave and made one thing clear: optimism and creativity won’t keep anyone afloat if the money and strategy are running short.

#MyJob
 "I think teaching is a wonderful profession"

Martin Ganguly actually studied directing and acting. Then he changed careers and went into teaching. He loves his profession – in part because it gives him a wide range of opportunities.

Postcolonialism

The Goethe-Institut invites experts and creatives worldwide to exchange ideas on colonial power relations, their consequences and, above all, how to dismantle them: in discourses, interviews, opinion articles and art projects. For a decolonized and non-racial world.
