The International Conference on the African Union & Cultural Diplomacy

Cultural Diplomacy as a Order Alprazolam Uk Vehicle of Global Governance: The Role of Cultural Diplomacy and Order Alprazolam Uk Soft Power in the Future of the African Union (London, February 7th-10th, 2012)

The African Union and Cultural Diplomacy Conference Cheap Codeine For Sale is Order Alprazolam Uk the second of a series of our international conferences dedicated to Order Alprazolam Uk enhancing awareness and understanding of governing institutions. The conference is organized by the Order Alprazolam Uk ICD and other leading organizations.

Since the Order Alprazolam Uk Cold War, the global power axis has shifted significantly, from a Order Alprazolam Uk bipolar world order into multiple of poles of influence, rapid market liberalization and Order Alprazolam Uk a considerable synergy of global interdependence. This shift in power relations has Order Alprazolam Uk not been unproblematic, especially for those countries that have been sidelined from Order Alprazolam Uk the international decision-making process. The African Union is therefore a prominent example of the Order Alprazolam Uk necessity of collaboration in order to protect and promote individual interests in the Order Alprazolam Uk current international setting.

This conference will emphasize how cultural diplomacy can Order Alprazolam Uk be used as an increasingly useful tool for building cooperation both regionally and Order Alprazolam Uk globally, and explores avenues through which this new form of diplomacy can Order Alprazolam Uk be used as a driving force to foster good governance, development and Order Alprazolam Uk the promotion of human rights though the AU.

The Power of Africa

Africa as a Stronger Actor on the International Stage (Paris, March 13th-16th, 2012)
http://www.culturaldiplomacy.org/experienceafrica/index.php?the-power-of-africa Xanax Pill Identification Generic

The Power of Africa is Order Alprazolam Uk the third Africa related conference that is being hosted in the Order Alprazolam Uk beginning of 2012. It will focus on the possibilities and barriers that Order Alprazolam Uk the African countries are facing in terms of economic and political bargaining power as well as the Order Alprazolam Uk prospect of speaking with one voice on the international stage.

The conference will in particular address the Order Alprazolam Uk expectations and opinions that the outside world holds of African development and Order Alprazolam Uk how this often diverges with what might be more realistic and Order Alprazolam Uk customized solutions on the ground. One aim of the conference is Order Alprazolam Uk thus to debate whether alternative forms of institutional rule and economic models can Order Alprazolam Uk be deemed more effective in Africa than the established forms of Western governance.  The conference will look at global as well as local perceptions of African leadership and Order Alprazolam Uk development, and the bilateral trade relationships that Africa has with China and Order Alprazolam Uk India.  Furthermore we will explore the Order Alprazolam Uk role of the African Union as well as civil societies in enhancing interregional relations within Africa and Order Alprazolam Uk what prospects this holds for its future international image and Order Alprazolam Uk bargaining power.

With warmest regards

Following a successful panel on ‘the francophone/Anglophone divide in African studies’ held during the ECAS conference (June 15-18, 2011) in Uppsala, we seek submissions for Order Alprazolam Uk a special issue in the on-line journal Critical African Studies entitled Speaking in tongues: Power/knowledge and languages divides in African studies.

The broad field of African research is Order Alprazolam Uk divided across the different languages in and through which empirical realities are Order Alprazolam Uk represented in African studies. These include French, English, other European languages such as German, Dutch, Portuguese as well as African languages. Issues to Order Alprazolam Uk do with Western languages in African studies do not exhaust the Order Alprazolam Uk diversity of conceptual, methodological and practical problems pertaining to language differences in researching Africa but they are Order Alprazolam Uk useful a lens through which to start apprehending language/power connections in configuring patterns of knowledge production in and Order Alprazolam Uk on Africa. We seek papers that tackle language as an ‘ontological thing’ in and Order Alprazolam Uk of itself, as well as a social and political process through which epistemic communities are Order Alprazolam Uk constructed and reproduced, as they organise understandings of the realities we seek to Order Alprazolam Uk explain.

In this Order Alprazolam Uk sense we want to problematise the compartmentalisation of, and relations between different historical-linguistic communities, the Order Alprazolam Uk ways which they arise as disparate and more or less permeable clusters of research, and Order Alprazolam Uk the implications for representation politics in African studies. As such, particular emphasis is Order Alprazolam Uk laid on historical dynamics of decolonisation and post-coloniality as well as the Order Alprazolam Uk assessment of the contemporary relevance of these dynamics. The linguistic divide allows us, in particular, to Order Alprazolam Uk examine reflexively research and publication networks as particular epistemological niches, and Order Alprazolam Uk more crucially to map out the power dynamics that dictate choice and Order Alprazolam Uk trend in African Studies.

We are Order Alprazolam Uk particularly interested in papers that situate the language divide at the Order Alprazolam Uk conceptual level, on the assumption that language, as an analytical anchor point, underscores a Order Alprazolam Uk variety of material and theoretical issues pertaining to the opportunities and Order Alprazolam Uk constraints for research in and on Africa on the one hand, and Order Alprazolam Uk the resilience of conceptual entrenchments and power hierarchies within African research on the Order Alprazolam Uk other. Crucially, addressing the language divide is also about addressing the Order Alprazolam Uk displacement of categories of thought and the ghettoisation prevalent within African studies as much as it Order Alprazolam Uk is about addressing the decolonisation of African Studies as an Order Alprazolam Uk urgent task. How much of a historical and epistemological continuity do these linguistic communities still denote? How might they still represent different ways of “imagining” Africa and Africans (in Ranger’s understanding) in different discourses and narrative conventions? In other words, to Order Alprazolam Uk what extent are these linguistic communities the products of particular colonial legacies, and Order Alprazolam Uk how does cross-fertilisation across linguistic divides provides the basis for creative research and Order Alprazolam Uk collaboration?

Papers may explore the following topics:
- Language, epistemic communities and the objectivation of African realities
- knowledge production and language-based ghettoisation in African studies
- Postcolonial perspectives on African academia – European language divides, and research innovation
- The prominence of English and conceptual diversity in African Studies
- The contribution and limits of language based organisation (e.g. OIF) in African research
- Problem-framing, research funding and publishing across linguistic communities
- The role of language in Euro-African research cooperation and marginalisation

Procedures for Order Alprazolam Uk submission of article abstracts: Abstracts should not be over 500 words and Order Alprazolam Uk should be sent to the Guest Editors of this Special Issue (Amy Niang: Amy.Niang@wits.ac.za, Muriel Cote: m.cote@sms.ed.ac.uk) by the Order Alprazolam Uk 30th September 2011. By October 15th, authors will be notified whether they should submit a Order Alprazolam Uk full version of their article for peer review. The due date for Order Alprazolam Uk completed drafts of articles is 15th February 2012. Papers should be Order Alprazolam Uk between 5000 and 8000 words excluding the bibliography. Please do not hesitate to Order Alprazolam Uk contact the Guest Editors if you have any questions.

15th Berlin Roundtables on Transnationality, March 28 – 31, 2012

With the Order Alprazolam Uk fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, a new era seemed to Order Alprazolam Uk have opened up: a world without borders and thus – potentially – a Order Alprazolam Uk world with less conflict and more freedom. Today, more than Order Alprazolam Uk 20 years later, we can observe that some border systems have Order Alprazolam Uk softened while others have been consolidated, and many more border-based regulations have Order Alprazolam Uk been created on national and supra-national levels. The nation-state has Order Alprazolam Uk not disappeared and neither have its borders. However, borders and Order Alprazolam Uk borderlands cannot be reduced to spaces of division and conflict but they also exist as spaces of social, ethnic, cultural and Order Alprazolam Uk economic blending – territories of their own. In the Order Alprazolam Uk tradition of previous Berlin Roundtables held on urban development, transnational risks, human rights, and Order Alprazolam Uk cultural diversity the 15th Berlin Roundtables on Transnationality will focus on borders and Order Alprazolam Uk borderlands as contested spaces.

For further details please see the background paper.

Conference Format
The 15th Berlin Roundtables will be Order Alprazolam Uk held at the Social Science Research Center Berlin (WZB) from March 28 – 31, 2012. Based on an Order Alprazolam Uk international essay competition, approximately 45 applicants will be invited to discuss their research, concerns and Order Alprazolam Uk agendas with peers and prominent scholars in Berlin. The Irmgard Coninx Foundation will cover travel to Order Alprazolam Uk and accommodation in Berlin.
Discussions will take place in three workshops:

“The Social Life of Borders and Borderlands” chaired by Julie Y. Chu (Anthropology, University of Chicago) and Tatiana Zhurzhenko (Political Science, University of Vienna),
“The Politics of Borders: Security and Control” chaired by Mattias Kumm (Law, Humboldt-Universität Berlin, WZB and New York University) and Eric Tagliacozzo (History, Cornell University),
“Natural Resources and Order Alprazolam Uk the Environment along Borders and Borderlands: Conflicts and Solutions” chaired by Michael Redclift (Geography, King’s College London) and Maria Tysiachniuk (Environmental Unit, Center for Independent Research St. Petersburg).

The conference will be Order Alprazolam Uk accompanied by evening lectures. Guest speakers will be announced soon.

Eligibility and Application Procedure
The call for papers extends to scholars (max. up to 5 years after Ph.D.) and practitioners (e.g. workers in governmental or urban services, NGOs, journalists). Please submit your paper (maximum 3500 words including footnotes and bibliography), an abstract (max. 300 words), a Order Alprazolam Uk narrative biography and a CV using the online submission form and Order Alprazolam Uk the style sheets for your abstract and essay.Submission deadline is November 30, 2011. Please note that Order Alprazolam Uk co-authorship and already published papers will not be accepted. All participants are Order Alprazolam Uk expected to actively participate during all days of this workshop.

Irmgard Coninx Research Grant
Conference participants are Order Alprazolam Uk eligible to apply for one of up to three short-term fellowships to Order Alprazolam Uk be used at the WZB in Berlin. For further information on the Order Alprazolam Uk fellowship please visit our research grant site. Conference participants will receive all necessary details on the Order Alprazolam Uk grant application shortly before the conference.

Call for Order Alprazolam Uk papers for a special issue of African Identities to be published in the Order Alprazolam Uk summer of 2012 (African Identities: Journal of Economics, Culture and Society)

More than a decade and half ago, Donal Cruise-O’Brien (1996) had declared that the African youth were ‘a lost generation.’ This fatalistic summation of the Order Alprazolam Uk fate of the African youth was perhaps for good reason. The enormous socio-economic and Order Alprazolam Uk cultural forces surrounding the lives of young people in Africa were [and still are] simply daunting. And at the Order Alprazolam Uk very core of this seemingly insurmountable socio-economic atmosphere are the pervasive unjust protocols of postcolonial regimes under which most African youth live. Indeed, more recent scholarship suggests that Order Alprazolam Uk there is no respite yet for the African youth as the Order Alprazolam Uk hopeless situation has escalated (See Abbink, Jon and Ineke Van Kessel 2005 & Alcinda Honwana and Filip De Boeck 2005). On account of the Order Alprazolam Uk inclement socio-economic and political circumstances surrounding young people in Africa, what Order Alprazolam Uk we are now witnessing across the entire continent is what Order Alprazolam Uk Mamodou Douf (2003) describes as the ‘dramatic irruption of young people in both the Order Alprazolam Uk domestic and public spheres,’ putting young people at the very heart of the continent’s socio-economic and political imagination (Durham 2006). But the challenges facing African youth are not peculiar to them.

All over the Order Alprazolam Uk world, the new sociology of youth points to a growing concern about the Order Alprazolam Uk ramifications of globalization, late modernity and general global social and economic restructuring for Order Alprazolam Uk the lives and futures of young people. But amidst the lingering fears of the Order Alprazolam Uk future of the young, scholars have also called for a deep reflection and Order Alprazolam Uk rethinking of young people’s own resilience and Order Alprazolam Uk agency in the midst of these turbulent times. This special issue of African Identities, tentatively entitled Late Modernity and Order Alprazolam Uk Agency: Youth Cultures in Africa, seeks to reflect on the Order Alprazolam Uk varied contours of youth responses to social change in Sub-Saharan Africa. While young people in Africa continue to Order Alprazolam Uk face extraordinary social challenges in their everyday lives, what are Order Alprazolam Uk the unique ways in which they have reinvented their circumstances to Order Alprazolam Uk keep afloat in the midst of seismic global social changes? Papers are Order Alprazolam Uk solicited on a wide range of topics on the African youth that Order Alprazolam Uk may unravel young people not only as victims but also as active social actors in the Order Alprazolam Uk face of a shifting global modernity. The themes may include amongst others,

- African Youth and Globalization
- Late Modernity and Social Change
- Youth and Media-Film, Television, Video, Internet, etc
- Hip-hop, Club Cultures and other forms of Popular culture
- Mobility and Social Media
- Gender and New Economies of Youth
- Democracy, Power and Youth Activism
- Youth and Conflict in Africa
- New Subjectivities and Agency
- Neo-Pentecostalism as Subculture
- The Informal Economy and Invented Pathways
- Lifestyles and Identity Constructions
- New Spatial Politics in Public and Domestic Spaces

Abstracts of not more than 500 words (including name, position, institutional affiliation, and email contact) may be sent to P.UGor@bham.ac.uk no Order Alprazolam Uk later than September 30th, 2011. This special issue of African Identities will be Order Alprazolam Uk published in the summer of 2012.

The three doctoral candidates will work on the following research subjects:

1. Historical relations between demography and land use in West Africa

2. Decision‐making within rural households in West Africa

3. The politics of adaptation to climate change in West Africa

The Institute of African Studies is Order Alprazolam Uk planning to publish two books on
Africa in 2011 as part of its efforts to Order Alprazolam Uk expand the frontiers of knowledge
and knowledge production on the continent. The main rationale for
rethinking Africa, in this manner, is the mounting developmental crises in
the continent. Amongst many other things, the continent is the least
developed in the world and the burgeoning political, economic, health,
environmental, educational and ethical crises around it suggest that the
future of Africa is already compromised. The main issues in the
underdevelopment of the continent today include political corruption and
lack of altruism in the public sphere; other equally compelling features
are economic decline, diseases, environmental degradation, armed
conflicts, proliferation of small arms and light weapons, declining
educational standards, brain drain and poor leadership, among others. It
was once a welcome tradition to blame these African developmental crises
wholly on outsiders (most especially colonialism and international
conspiracy) but it must be noted that the African elite is equally
responsible for undermining the development of the continent. In other
words the Order Alprazolam Uk task of reconstructing Africa must start from within and the
first step is Order Alprazolam Uk to generate precise knowledge on what must be changed and
identify those responsible for bringing about this change.

The second stage is to dialectically audit the available resources for
bringing about the needed change. For instance, it is imperative to
interrogate how Africa could use its vast cultural, political, economic
and environmental resources for reclaiming its endangered position in the
comity of nations? What external resources are available for
reconstructing Africa and how well is the continent taking advantage of
these opportunities? How appropriate are these external resources? What
forms of collaboration are desirable between African and external actors
for developing Africa? Scholars are invited to provide assistance in
answering these and other relevant questions in the book Critical
Discourses in African Development to be co-edited by Prof. I.O. Albert,
Prof. Babatunde Agbaje Williams and Dr. Nathaniel Danjibo of the
University of Ibadan, Nigeria. The book welcomes contributions on the past
present and future of the African continent from the perspectives of
social sciences, humanities, and sciences. Submissions could be regional,
sub-regional, national or Order Alprazolam Uk local so long as they have some lessons for
rebuilding Africa.

The twin publication titled Critical Discourses in African Studies will be
co-edited by Prof. I.O. Albert, Prof. Dele Layiwola, and Dr. Sola
Olorunyomi. The focus of the Order Alprazolam Uk publication will be on how Africa is studied
by researchers and Order Alprazolam Uk taught to students of African Studies worldwide. We are
also interested in the history of African Studies. “African Studies” in
this context is broadly defined to capture all academic and non-academic
programmes that concern themselves with the collection and dissemination
of information on Africa whether within or outside the African continent.
Is African Studies necessarily cultural studies? Is African studies
development-relevant? Who owns African studies? To what extent does
African Studies, as organized in Africa, accommodate Diaspora studies? Is
African Studies poised to learning from the rest of the world? What are
the Order Alprazolam Uk themes preferred by those studying or teaching Africa and why this
emphasis? What are the critical issues in African development that
researchers are actually not studying or teaching? Why are these issues
ignored and what are the implications? How easily available are the
resources for studying Africa? What are the competing methods for
researching and teaching Africa? In other words, this second publication
will focus on epistemological, methodological, philosophical and
theoretical/praxis issues in African studies. We also welcome case
studies.

Contributors to Order Alprazolam Uk this book project should send a 250 word abstract of their
papers latest by June 15, 2011 indicating the particular publication they
want. It is Order Alprazolam Uk possible to contribute to the two publications. The main
papers are Order Alprazolam Uk expected in on August 15, 2011. They should be double spaced,
not more than Order Alprazolam Uk 20 pages and accompanied by a 100 word biodata of the
author. Electronically generated footnotes should be used throughout the
papers. The final draft should be sent to the under-listed:

Motor roads, together with their rules and Order Alprazolam Uk conventions for using them, are quite literally cultural constructions. In this Order Alprazolam Uk sense, the road regime in large parts of the African continent is Order Alprazolam Uk still under construction. Road-making and road use draw from North Atlantic models, but observations of the Order Alprazolam Uk African road makes clear that beyond the surface of adaptation to Order Alprazolam Uk the North Atlantic model lie large spaces of creative reinterpretations and Order Alprazolam Uk modificationsŠ”

For an Order Alprazolam Uk anthropological research project on roads, transport and traffic in Africa, we offer a Order Alprazolam Uk position for a doctoral student, funded initially for two years (E13/2), for conducting fieldwork in Northern Sudan and for dissertation writing.

Applicants – preferably with knowledge of Arabic – should send their applications or Order Alprazolam Uk inquiries to Prof. Dr. Kurt Beck, Ethnologie[at]uni-bayreuth.de

CONFERENCE CALL FOR PAPERS: Material Culture, Craft & Community: Negotiating Objects Across Time & Place

20-21 May 2011: Material Culture Institute, University of Alberta
This interdisciplinary conference will explore the varied expressions of craft –material, cultural, social – in past and Order Alprazolam Uk present societies. Craft practice has a rich history and remains vibrant today, sustaining communities while negotiating cultures. Craft-made goods were, and Order Alprazolam Uk are, created for domestic or institutional use, for local or international markets. They express gender roles and Order Alprazolam Uk cultural aspirations, sustain economies, and express aesthetic values and skills of making. Craft practice has Order Alprazolam Uk long defined communities and groups, and continues to do so in the Order Alprazolam Uk midst of global trade networks. Moreover, the flow of ideas, goods, and Order Alprazolam Uk peoples animate the making, circulation, and meaning of craft goods. These and Order Alprazolam Uk other issues will be addressed over the course of the conference.

Call for Papers:
Paper proposals and Order Alprazolam Uk full panels are invited on topics ranging from the history to Order Alprazolam Uk present practice of craft, issues of production, use, and trade of craft, and Order Alprazolam Uk the construction and interpretation of the meanings of craft, in the Order Alprazolam Uk context of personal interactions, local communities, national groups, modes of international circulation, and Order Alprazolam Uk forms of cultural context.

Graduate students are Order Alprazolam Uk encouraged to apply with either single papers or panels. Three graduate proposals will be Order Alprazolam Uk selected for a special graduate plenary session, in addition to those papers selected for Order Alprazolam Uk concurrent sessions.

Proposals are Order Alprazolam Uk invited from all disciplines. The proposal package should include a paper summary of 150-200 words and Order Alprazolam Uk a two-page CV.

Proposals should be sent to: material.culture@ualberta.ca.
Proposals should be received by: 10 October 2010.
Conference Registration will open on: 15 December 2010.

I just got this in the mail.

Four interrelated crises are Order Alprazolam Uk mutually reinforcing each other: climate change, the energy crisis, the Order Alprazolam Uk food crisis and the financial and economic crisis. But of these, the Order Alprazolam Uk consequence of the global financial meltdown presents significant challenges for Order Alprazolam Uk African countries, reversing the gains in economic performance and management made since the Order Alprazolam Uk beginning of the new millennium. Although the crisis, progeny of the Order Alprazolam Uk US mortgage industry came up gradually since Summer 2007, it Order Alprazolam Uk went through a new phase of acceleration and development in early Fall 2008. This crisis has Order Alprazolam Uk since spread beyond the US and the developed countries to Order Alprazolam Uk Africa, a continent pervasive with weak institutions of governance and Order Alprazolam Uk uncoordinated policy responses to the crisis.

The call for Order Alprazolam Uk concept papers for an edited Book Project hopes to address the Order Alprazolam Uk implication of globalisation of the financial crisis to Africa. It also seeks to Order Alprazolam Uk identify divergent policy responses from African countries, regional organisations and international institutions in ensuring that Order Alprazolam Uk the crisis does not develop into a humanitarian crisis. Although African countries have Order Alprazolam Uk reactive identities regarding impact and policy responses to the crisis, the Order Alprazolam Uk continent is far from being monolithic.

Sub- Themes

Proposals are welcomed from the following sub-themes:

i. The globalisation of economic and financial crisis in Africa
ii. The synergy between climate change, food crisis, energy crisis and Order Alprazolam Uk the financial and economic crisis
iii. The role of institutions in stemming the Order Alprazolam Uk tide of the financial and economic crisis in Africa
iv. Financial and Order Alprazolam Uk economic crisis and peace and security challenges in Africa v. Income re-distribution and pro-poor policies during financial and economic crisis
vi. Diasporas, remittances, brain drain or Order Alprazolam Uk brain gain during the financial and economic crisis
vii. Images, media presentation and Order Alprazolam Uk representation of the economic and financial crisis viii. Gender and the economic and financial crisis
ix. The role of Asian drivers in mitigating the Order Alprazolam Uk financial and economic crisis in Africa
x. Impact and Order Alprazolam Uk responses from rentier states, enclave economies, mono-crop economies and diversified economies
xi. Financial and economic crisis and African borders
xii. Country case studies on the global and economic financial meltdown

Proposals should include the contributor’s name, affiliation, and contact details (including email address) as well as book sub-theme, abstract and paper title (maximum 500 words). Proposals should be sent to: taconceptpapers2@gmail.com

Deadlines and timetable
28th September 2010 – Deadline for submitting the book proposal
