Left politics against the Effects of Colonisation
ID 84756
Am 22. August fand in der Kunsthalle am Hamburger Platz, die von der Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin bespielt wird, eine Diskussionsveranstaltung mit dem Titel „From the effects of colonisation and globalisation to the hope of left politics: Bangladesh and Bengalen“ statt.
Benjamin Zachariah, Historiker und Research Fellow u.a. an der Universität Trier, befragte in diesem Rahmen den linken Aktivisten Zonayed Saki aus Bangladesh zur Rolle ‚der Linken‘ in Bangladesh, zu ihrer Geschichte und Gegenwart, sowie darüber, welche Lehren daraus gezogen werden können. Radia Obskura war vor Ort und serviert filetierte Ausschnitte der Veranstaltung. Die Frage, vielleicht aber auch manche Antworten, welche Lehren für linke Politik inner- und außerhalb der Parteien gezogen werden können, lassen sich, so behaupten wir, teils auf mitteleuropäische Verhältnisse übertragen.
Die Veranstaltung fand auf Englisch statt.

Discussion Event
Tuesday, 22 August 2017, 7pm
Zonayed Saki spoke last week on the documenta 14 under the title The Parliament of Bodies: Rebuilding the Idea of a Global Left. We are honoured to welcome Zonayed Saki at the KUNSTHALLE AM HAMBURGER PLATZ. In a talk with Benjamin Zachariah, they not only discuss the political situation in Bangladesh and the hope for a united left movement that can cope with the pressing ecological and political issues of our times. In a more general approach this evening is to learn about the social and intellectual history of South Asia with it’s historical and acute conflicts to face international solidarity and to tie international connections.
Zonayed Saki came into politics through the 1990 democracy movement that overthrew the military regime in Bangladesh. In 1998, he became the president of the left student organization Bangladesh Chhatra Federation and campaigned against sexual harassment on campus, the commercialization of public education, and environmental destruction. Saki then founded the political party Gano Samhati Andolon, and became the central committee member of the anti-imperialist Committee for Protecting National Resources against foreign and domestic plundering. In 2015, he ran for Mayor of the city of Dhaka but rejected the election results after allegations of widespread vote rigging by the government. He is the editor of the left critical thinking publishing house Samhati and is the co-founder of the Democratic Left Alliance of Bangladeshi parties.
Benjamin Zachariah is a Research Fellow at the University of Trier. He studied history at Presidency College, Calcutta, and at Trinity College, Cambridge, and is the author of Nehru (2004), Developing India: An Intellectual and Social History, c. 1930 1950 (2005; 2nd edn 2012), and Playing the Nation Game: The Ambiguities of Nationalism in India (2011). His current research projects concern Indian exiles in Germany, the global communist movement, and interactions and interconnections among fascists in the interwar period.
