VOCABULARY OF DECOLONIALITY introduces the concept of decoloniality as an option for the contention of contemporary forms of subjugation under neo-liberal global capitalism that is based on historical colonialism and maintains continuities with it. Reading writers such as Frantz Fanon, bell hooks, Belinda Kazeem, Nicola Lauré al-Samarai, Walter Mignolo and Peggy Piesche and relating their ideas to the current state of capitalism, migration, racism, class, gender etc., the editors with the name “Editorial Group for Writing Insurgent Genealogies ” decided that it is necessary to reformulate the existing vocabulary and to re-propose new terminology and meaning connecting art and politics.

The Milk of Sorrow, 2009 Original title: La teta asustada Director: Claudia Llosa Length: 97 min Language spoken: Spanish, Quechua. Subtitles: German

Between 1980 and 1992 Peru experienced a period of very hard violence, particularly in the Andean region, because of the uprising of the Maoist group Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path) and the actions of the paramilitary and state armed forces. Claudia Llosa refers in her film to the belief that the trauma experienced by women who were raped by members of security force was passed on to their children through the milk from their breasts. Thus, this period of violence continues to affect not only those who experienced it, but also the next generation.
