🎓 Christoph Burgmer im Gespräch mit Samir Amin (1931-2018). Der ägyptisch-französische Wirtschaftswissenschaftler und Philosoph Samir Amin gehörte zu den herausragenden Kritikern des Neokolonialismus und der kapitalistischen Globalisierung am Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts. Samir Amin schuf den Begriff des "Eurozentrismus" und bezeichnete damit ein globales Projekt, dass mit der Eroberung Amerikas durch Christoph Kolumbus seinen Anfang nahm und in verschiedenen Phasen bis in die Gegenwart andauert. Ziel des "Eurozentrismus" ist Aufrechterhaltung -der Unterwerfung der Peripherien, -der globalen Ausbeutung von Kulturen und Natur und - der politischen Vormachtstellung kapitalistischer Zentren. Dieses 2004 im indischen Mumbai geführte Gespräch fragt nach den Bedingungen und Folgen US-amerikanischer globaler Hegemonie.
/🎓 Christoph Burgmer in conversation with Samir Amin (1931-2018). The Egyptian-French economist and philosopher Samir Amin was one of the most prominent critics of neo-colonialism and capitalist globalisation at the beginning of the 21st century. Samir Amin created the term ‘Eurocentrism’ to describe a global project that began with the conquest of America by Christopher Columbus and has continued in various phases up to the present day. The aim of ‘Eurocentrism’ is to maintain -the subjugation of the peripheries, - the global exploitation of cultures and nature and - the political supremacy of capitalist centres. This discussion, held in Mumbai, India, in 2004, examines the conditions and consequences of US global hegemony.
/🎓 Christoph Burgmer s'entretient avec Samir Amin (1931-2018). L'économiste et philosophe franco-égyptien Samir Amin a été l'un des plus grands critiques du néocolonialisme et de la mondialisation capitaliste au début du 21e siècle. Samir Amin a créé le concept d'« eurocentrisme », désignant ainsi un projet global qui a débuté avec la conquête de l'Amérique par Christophe Colomb et qui se poursuit à travers différentes phases jusqu'à nos jours. L'objectif de l'« eurocentrisme » est de maintenir -l'assujettissement des périphéries, -l'exploitation globale des cultures et de la nature et - la suprématie politique des centres capitalistes. Cet entretien réalisé en 2004 à Mumbai, en Inde, s'interroge sur les conditions et les conséquences de l'hégémonie mondiale américaine.
