On the occasion of the publication in the Czech edition of Un féminisme décolonial (La Fabrique, 2019) by Karolinum, CEFRES, the French Institute in Prague and Charles University invite you to a Great Interview with the author Françoise Vergès.
When: Wednesday, 12/3 2025, 6 pm
Location: French Institute in Prague, Štěpánská 35, Prague 1, 5th floor
Language: French with simultaneous Czech interpretation
Moderator: Chiara Mengozzi (CEFRES / Faculty of Arts, Charles University)
Who cleans up the world? It is with this question that Françoise Vergès introduces a decolonial feminism, taking as her starting point the underpaid, underestimated work that women, the majority of them racialised, do every day, all over the world, to make a society work. This feminism sees itself as the only one with a true understanding of women’s rights. Françoise Vergès defends an anti-racist and anti-capitalist feminism.

Research area: 1
Helga Mitterbauer, full professor of German literature at the Université libre de Bruxelles, is joining CEFRES from January to March 2025 thanks to the ‘Visiting scholars’ international mobility support programme funded by the CNRS. Previously, she was a visiting professor at a number of universities, including the University of Alberta (2010-2015) and ELTE Budapest. She taught at the University of Graz (1993-2013) where she habilitated in 2008.
She was chair of the coordinating committee of the ICLA CHLEL book series (2022-2024; Amsterdam, Benjamins) and is currently co-editor of the book series Forum: Österreich (Frank & Timme, Berlin).
Her project Neo-baroque in Central Europe focuses on the revival of baroque stylistic elements in literature, theatre, film and other arts in Germany and Central Europe. The aim is to study the extent to which this historical perspective is still valid today. Part of the project is to investigate how historical changes in society and power politics are reflected in literature and art, which art forms are used in response or to what extent art and literature facilitate the accumulation of power (the emergence of private galleries and libraries).
