Download or read book Africanizing Knowledge written by Toyin Falola and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly four decades ago, Terence Ranger questioned to what extent African history was actually African, and whether methods and concerns derived from Western historiography were really sufficient tools for researching and narrating African history. Despite a blossoming and branching out of Africanist scholarship in the last twenty years, that question is still haunting. The most prestigious locations for production of African studies are outside Africa itself, and scholars still seek a solution to this paradox. They agree that the ideal solution would be a flowering of institutions of higher learning within Africa which would draw not only Africanist scholars, but also financial resources to the continent. While the focus of this volume is on historical knowledge, the effort to make African scholarship "more African" is fundamentally interdisciplinary. The essays in this volume employ several innovative methods in an effort to study Africa on its own terms. The book is divided into four parts. Part 1, "Africanizing African History," offers several diverse methods for bringing distinctly African modes of historical discourse to the foreground in academic historical research. Part 2, "African Creative Expression in Context," presents case studies of African art, literature, music, and poetry. It attempts to strip away the exotic or primitivist aura such topics often accumulate when presented in a foreign setting in order to illuminate the social, historical, and aesthetic contexts in which these works of art were originally produced. Part 3, "Writing about Colonialism," demonstrates that the study of imperialism in Africa remains a springboard for innovative work, which takes familiar ideas about Africa and considers them within new contexts. Part 4, "Scholars and Their Work," critically examines the process of African studies itself, including the roles of scholars in the production of knowledge about Africa. This timely and thoughtful volume will be of interest to African studies scholars and students who are concerned about the ways in which Africanist scholarship might become "more African."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the role gender plays in African Studies, as practised in Africa and the US, this book discusses the challenges and difficulties female scholars face in their efforts to produce and disseminate scholarly knowledge. Beginning with an analysis of the structural and institutional barriers that affect women's productivity, it then examines the impact of the growth of women's presses, the promotion of feminist scholarship, and the productive links formed across the Atlantic, providing insight into the politics of cross-cultural race and gender.

Book excerpt: Afrikanische Literatur - eine wissenschaftliche Disziplin? Umfasst sie nur die Mythen und Märchen dieses für viele immer noch "schwarzen" Kontinents? Dieser Band zeigt die Vielfältigkeit und Geschichte eines Faches auf, das lange nur als Anhängsel an die Linguistik, Ethnologie, Anglistik oder Romanistik existierte. Mittlerweile ist die Lehre der afrikanischen Literaturen in englischer, französischer und in den indigenen afrikanischen Sprachen an einigen deutschsprachigen Universitäten als eigenes Fach etabliert, das viele Bezüge zu anderen Kulturwissenschaften aufweist. Es ist ein Fach, das zu einem Umdenken über Afrika, seine Menschen und Kulturen herausfordert. Afrikanische Literatur, so die Herausgeberin, sollte als eigene künstlerische Ausdrucksform betrachtet werden, die so unpolitisch, verrückt surreal und fantastisch sein "darf", wie andere Literaturen der Welt es auch sein können. In den hier versammelten Aufsätzen umreißen Spezialisten verschiedenster Fachrichtungen, wie sich die wissenschaftliche Beschäftigung mit afrikanischer Literatur entfaltet und welche diversen Inhalte sie zum Gegenstand hat. Es wird dabei sowohl auf die Entstehung der Afrikanistik als Kolonialwissenschaft als auch auf die unterschiedliche Entwicklung des Faches in Ost- und Westdeutschland sowie in Österreich eingegangen. Bei den Beiträgen des Bandes handelt es sich um Polemiken, Wissenschaftsbiographien, Forschungsartikel oder wissenschaftliche Standortbestimmungen. Trotz unterschiedlicher Herangehensweise ist allen Autorinnen und Autoren gemeinsam, dass sie sich über übliche Demarkierungen hinwegsetzen und der Herausforderung einer neuen Disziplin stellen.

Download or read book 9/11 and the Academy written by Mark Finney and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-31 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the impact of September 11, 2001 upon interdisciplinary scholarship and pedagogy in the liberal arts. Since “the day that changed everything”, many forces have transformed institutions of higher education in the United States and around the world. The editors and contributors consider the extent to which the influence of 9/11 was direct, or part of wider structural changes within academia, and the chapters represent a wide range of interdisciplinary perspectives on how the production and dissemination of knowledge has changed since 2001. Some authors demonstrate that new forms of inquiry, exploration, and evidence have been created, much of it focused on the causes, consequences, and meanings of the terror attacks. Others find that scholars sought to understand 9/11 by applying old theoretical and empirical insights and reviving lines of questioning that have become relevant. The contributors also examine the impact of 9/11 on higher education administration and liberal arts pedagogies. Among the many collective findings is that scholars in the humanities and critical social sciences have been most attentive to the place of 9/11 in society and academic culture. This eclectic collection will appeal to students and scholars interested in the place of the liberal arts in the twenty-first century world.

Download or read book Mennonites and Post-Colonial African Studies written by John M. Janzen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-02-28 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the evolution of post-colonial African Studies through the eyes of Africanists from the Anabaptist (Mennonite and Church of the Brethren) community. The book chronicles the lives of twenty-two academics and practitioners whose work spans from the immediate post-colonial period in the 1960s to the present day, a period in which decolonization and development have dominated scholarly and practitioner debate. Reflecting the values and perspectives they shared with the Mennonite Central Committee and other church-sponsored organizations, the authors consider their own personal journeys and professional careers, the power of the prevailing scholarly paradigms they encountered, and the realities of post-colonial Africa. Coming initially from Anabaptist service programs, the authors ultimately made wider contributions to comparative religion, church leadership, literature, music, political science, history, anthropology, economics and banking, health and healing, public health, extension education, and community development. The personal histories and reflections of the authors provide an important glimpse into the intellectual and cultural perspectives that shaped the work of Africanist scholars and practitioners in the post-colonial period. The book reminds us that the work of every Africanist is shaped by their own life stories.
