As part of the NOVA-FCSH MA seminar Postcolonial Studies: Literature, Culture and the Arts (and within the CETAPS Research Area Anglophone Cultures and History), we are pleased to welcome Postdoctoral Fellow Leon Bomela Loombe (University of Cape Town) for an online guest lecture titled Coding Otherwise: African Technopoetics and Postcolonial-Decolonial Approaches to Artificial Intelligence, taking place on May 14 th , 2026 at 6PM (Lisbon time) and moderated by Ana Brígida Paiva (CETAPS/NOVA-FCSH).
This online lecture will explore the intersections between literary studies, AI ethics, and critical data studies, conceiving technology as both a cultural and a political artifact. Drawing on postcolonial and decolonial frameworks, this lecture will examine how these theoretical frameworks can operate beyond their more
traditional fields of application, offering conceptual tools to reexamine artificial intelligence through questions of power, epistemology, representation, and governance. The lecture will likewise focus on African technopoetics and the ways in which literary and cultural analysis can contribute to contemporary
debates on emerging technologies.
Although this online lecture is integrated into a small in-person seminar, participation is open to the public in an online format. To register your interest and receive the access link closer to the event date, please fill in the following form:

The access link will be sent by email to registered participants a few days before the event.
