SUMMARY:“Freeing Our Imaginations”: Knowing Women and Transferring Know
 ledge
DESCRIPTION:Based on the ethnography Knowing Women\, this talk reflects the
  challenges of re/presenting intimate discourses about friendship and pass
 ion among same-sex desiring working-class women in southern Ghana. It depa
 rts from Binyavanga Wainaina’s call to African middle-classes that “we
  must free our imaginations” to the creative energies to be found in que
 er (sub)cultures on the continent and engages Audre Lorde’s understandin
 g of the erotic as a transcendent source of (self)knowledge especially wit
 hin otherwise precarious lives. The talk explores the methodological quest
 ion of how to transfer knowledge generated through research on queer Afric
 an subjects to broad audiences in (post)colonial Europe\, with its ongoing
  tendency of producing racialized Others.
