University of Quebec | 405 Rue Sainte-Catherine Est, Montréal, QC H2L 2C4, Canada
Conference: The Annual Conference of the Canadian Association of African Studies (CAAS) 2019
Theme: Thinking World-Africa: Originality and Innovative Practices
Location: University of Quebec in Montreal
Conference Date: May 16 to May 19*, 2019
From an open and multidisciplinary perspective, the 2019 CAAS conference invites reflection on the question of originality and innovation, in relation to Africa’s relationship with the rest of the world. Invention, Originality, and Innovation have historically marked Africa’s past and present relationship with the rest of the world, especially the Western world. They have served to divide the world into two big groups: those who “invented everything”, and “those who never invented anything” (Césaire, 1947).
* The university residences will be accessible from May 14th, 2019.
