| Abstract: | This article addresses relations between concepts of 'self', 'other(s)' and 'othering' through a reading of the revolutionary psychiatrist Frantz Fanon's psychoaffective phenomenological and pedagogical narrative approach, reading his work as phenomenological and educational as well as critiquing phenomenology, psychology, education and (of course) psychiatry. While most--especially educational--commentators base their engagement with Fanon's revolutionary materialist phenomenology of racialised embodiment and consciousness on his first book, "Black Skin White Masks" and attend to his final book, "Wretched of the Earth" as expressing his core political and philosophical analyses, this article focuses in particular on Fanon's second and middle book, "A Dying Colonialism," evaluating the political possibilities of the specific narrative temporalities elaborated there. Notwithstanding its rather dismissive reception, it is argued that this, middle, book--written during, and as a document of, the Algerian liberation struggle--expresses and develops Fanon's psychopolitical and performative philosophy of subjective and objective transformation from alienation to emancipation. This philosophy works pedagogically, in imagining the transformation of relations between others, as well as between self and others, including relations between coloniser and colonized, as also between and within selves. |
