But not only this: Africa is at the same time emerging as one of the great laboratories for novel forms of social, economic, political, intellectual, cultural, and artistic life. Often arising in unexpected places, these new forms of life materialize in practices that draw deeply from collective memory while simultaneously assuming distinctly contemporary, even futuristic, guises.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn November 2017, the second session of the Ateliers de la pensée – Workshops of Thought – was held in Dakar, Senegal. Fifty African and diasporic intellectuals and artists participated and their debates unfolded along numerous thematic lines, approached from the standpoints of many different disciplines. This volume is the result of that encounter. Among the many topics discussed were the concurrence and entanglement of multiple temporalities, the politics of life in the Anthropocene, the project of decolonization, and the preservation and transmission of different ways of knowing. At a time when the world is haunted by the specter of its own end, the contributors to this volume ask whether one can, by taking Africa as a point of departure, seize hold of other options for the future – not only for Africa, but for the world. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Politics of Time\u003c\/i\u003e and its companion volume, \u003ci\u003eTo Write the Africa World\u003c\/i\u003e, will be indispensable works for anyone interested in Africa – its past, present, and future – and in the new forms of critical thought emerging from Africa and the Global South.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Achille Mbembe and Felwine Sarr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e I\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e From Thinking Identity to Thinking African Becomings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Souleymane Bachir Diagne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Notes for a Maroon Feminism. \u003cbr\u003e From the ‘Body Double’ to the Body as such \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hourya Bentouhami\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Weaving, A Craft for Thought.\u003cbr\u003e Writing and Thinking in Africa, or the Knot of the World’s Great Narrative \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Jean-Luc Raharimanana\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e II\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Africa and the New Western Figures of Personal Status Law\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Abdoul Aziz Diouf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Rethinking Islam,\u003cbr\u003e Or, the Oxymoron of “Secular Theocracy”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Rachid Id Yassine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Impossible Meeting.\u003cbr\u003e A Free Interpretation of J.
