Glossary : Sharing Knowledge (Event Description)
Afro-European Cartography of Culture, Language and Arts
The Afro-European Cartography of Culture, Language and Arts is an open-access editorial initiative of the Project Afro-European Narratives. Its goal is to contribute to the mapping of the Afro-European experience and to provide greater access to the scholarly discussion on post-coloniality, as a relevant dimension of a knowledge citizenship.
This cartography will evolve as progressive Glossary, a multidisciplinary compilation of terms and descriptions through collaborative access. Participants can either add new terms and descriptions or write new articles for existing entries. Such openness will not preclude the careful selection of terms and a methodological approach to the whole, that will be ensured by a Scientific and an Editorial Board and peer-reviewing of submitted articles.
As a starting point, this Afro-European Cartography invites contributions to five main domains:
Epistemologies
This section will gather and evaluate the theoretical-critical vocabulary that orients the investigation of colonial and postcolonial contexts and, in particular, the socio-cultural phenomena arising from them. This approach will draw on multidisciplinar research in the fields pf anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, narratology, visual studies, among others.History and Genealogy
This section will explore the historical phenomena that make up the Afro-European relationship, from colonies, and colonial wars to anti-colonial struggles and decolonization. The aim is to reference these phenomena and events through a multiplicity of both European and African historiographical discourses.Cultural Practices and Performativity
This section addresses the cultural practices and the new the forms of active citizenship rooted in communities situated within the Afro-European intercultural dialogue.Linguistic uses
The aim, in this section is the indexation of specific vocabulary derived from intercultural migrations between African and European languages. It will set up a cartography of loans, linguistic contaminations in both directions, from European languages to African languages and vice versa.Arts Literature and Imaginaries
This section deals with the colonial and postcolonial imaginaries and with the creative practices that reflect or deconstruct them (within and outside the institution of art) in the fields of literature, film, visual arts, installation and architecture, theatre and performance, music and dance.
