Book Chapter
Listening with Black Switzerland
-
Published:January 2025
To be able to think of Black Swiss lives, we must be able to hear them. This requires a refiguring of listening or methods of identification. The chapter uncovers the antiblackness of the archive and its entanglement with the articulation of citizenship. Followingly, an underground of the archive becomes uncovered, a shift in how we practice identification and listen to individuals or society. The author also thematizes language directly by way of the figure of the foreigner in German language, in the form of Usländerdütsch (foreigner-German), as the changing of language through lives moving across borders.
