The Present Conjuncture: Illiberalism, War and Violence: A Perspective by Professor Anthony Bogues

Professor Anthony Bogues spoke at The Forge on Wednesday, 10 September 2025. The Present Conjuncture: Illiberalism, War and Violence: A Perspective begins with the observation that we live in a tumultuous world. One in which the conventional frames of politics and human life have rapidly shifted and where older forms of domination have reorganized themselves. It is a new conjuncture. In this talk, Prof Anthony Bogues attempted to tease out some of the features of this conjuncture. Working from the frame of an African and African Diaspora critical tradition Bogues discussed the ways in which violence has morphed into power and how new death-worlds are being created in the present. Thinking about the question of the human, The Present Conjuncture: Illiberalism, War and Violence: A Perspective asked critical questions of the practices of being human today and what that practice means for possible alternative forms of life which will create a different world.
