Amílcar Cabral: The “Anonymous Fighter” for the Mankind Fundamental Freedoms

In 1971, Amílcar Cabral presented himself in the United Nations (UN) as an “anonymous fighter” engaged in the struggle for the fundamental freedoms of the populations of Guinea and Cape Verde, as well as of all mankind. Such affirmation was not casual, since Cabral adopted the status of “anonymous fighter” in other circumstances, arguing that he was struggling for the human dignity, progress and happiness. The main goal of the conference is to bring together academics studying Cabral trajectory, institutions involved in preserving his memory and personalities which became acquainted with him.

Conference, symposium - Representation

Franco-African relations - a new political and literary history (1975-2015)

Le colloque propose d’examiner les manières différentes mais aussi parfois complices, voire complémentaires, dont les écrivains français et les écrivains africains contemporains reviennent sur l’histoire des relations franco-africaines, depuis l’ancien régime jusqu’à la décolonisation. Comment font-ils connaître cette histoire et la repensent-ils, dans son indéniable violence, mais aussi dans toute sa complexité ?

Mother Figures and Representations of Motherhood, Contemporary Perspectives

Dakar: scenes, actors and artistic context

Local and global reconfiguration?

This symposium will investigate artists’ practices in Dakar in the light of globalization. It will examine artists’ relation to the audience as well as to the city, conceived as a strategic crossroad. Its ambition is to open new territories of investigation whether they be sociological, economical, political or aesthetical (simultaneously or separately), to identify new paradigms that bring forward a critical understanding of exhibitions, institutions, artistic discourses, as well as of the actors that produce artistic manifestations (creators, art critics, journalists, curators, etc.).
