  Street signage in urban Africa and Israel/Palestine

  Memories, identities, politics

  The exhibition will examine street signage in urban Africa and Israel/Palestine as an outcome of dialectic processes, short and long termed, of spatial production and attached imagery and symbolism. That is, beyond being a signifier of a spatial orientation per se.

  African culture and development. Viable cultural industries for sustainable development

  Tribute to Professor Maurice Tadadjeu

  Les Deuxièmes journées des sciences du langage rentrent dans le souci de valoriser les sciences du langage, de favoriser l’échange d’expériences entre chercheurs d’horizons divers, de promouvoir la science par la diffusion des savoirs, d’accomplir l’une des missions cardinales de l’Université : l’appui au développement, de contribuer au rayonnement de l’Université camerounaise et de participer à une meilleure visibilité des institutions partenaires. Longtemps reléguée aux oubliettes de l’Histoire parce que traumatisée par les pratiques avilissantes de l’esclavage et de la colonisation et spoliée par un demi-siècle de néo colonialisme, l’Afrique est aujourd’hui considérée, à juste titre, comme le continent de l’avenir. Forte de ses nombreuses richesses et de ses remarquables potentialités, elle envisage le futur avec optimisme.

  Representing South African cities

  This conference proposes to present the latest developments in the research on South African cities, but also to offer an opportunity for academics from various fields (literature, social sciences, architecture, geography, visual arts, etc.) to compare their respective analysis and their theoretical conclusions with the imaginative, artistic representations of the cities of South Africa. The convenors therefore not only invite researchers from all fields to come and present their latest work on South African cities, but also strongly encourage papers which offer a cross-disciplinary approach, or joint presentations between researchers from various fields or academics and artists (writers, directors, photographs). Some major actors of the literary and art scene will be present to expose their views and discuss their works with researchers as well as with a wider, more general audience.This conference is part of the Official Season of South Africa in France.
