The history of knowledge production in Africa is a rising topic in the backdrop of growing awareness of the uneven globalization of intellectual thought. Focusing on the era of decolonization in Africa, a growing number of scholars are especially exploring historiography as read in periodicals such as pamphlets, magazines, journals or newspapers (Mark-Thiesen, Alfieri, Thioub, Coquerey-Vidrovitch and others). They provide important impetus for understanding the link between media and emancipation,

The extraordinary advances in historiography on Africa and in Africa in the 60s and 70s of the twentieth century, running parallel to the contestation and end of colonial empires, were not accompanied by an equivalent pace of transformation in the teaching of history in African countries, in terms of theories, methods and organization of content to be transmitted.

We announce with deep gratitude to Pedro George that we are now offering access to the magazine Anticolonial. You may listen to the audio and know its context here.

From the event website:

​Organized by Laetitia Zecchini (CNRS) at the University of Chicago Center in Paris, July 5-6, 2024.
This conference addresses the relationship between print  and legislation, censorship and copyright in postcolonial contexts. It aims to explore the role of colonial and postcolonial institutions, of the state and other gate-keepers in the regulation of print; the forms and practices of cultural regulation and censorship particular to certain postcolonial contexts; as well as the many alternative, informal or interstitial publishing networks, spaces and practices operating outside official (or monitored) circuits. More information here.

Based on the results of the meetings that we had along 2023, Committees for Communication, Projects and Funding, Events, Journal, and Courses were created, reflecting our interest in developing actions that are transversal to the Group. Although they are still in the starting stage, those committees are creating their decentralized dynamics, and soon we’ll share news about events and specific actions to take. We want to remind you that any member of the IGSCP-PE can join the committees’ work, or make proposals, at any time. The more, the better! We want to especially point out the webinars that are going on this year, a very well-succeeded event, whose organization can be joined by any member of the Group. 

We published on the website of the International Seminar Arquivo e Memória da Imprensa Cabo-Verdiana e Africana a Photo Gallery of the most significant moments of the event. Once again, we want to thank the staff of the Instituto do Arquivo Nacional de Cabo Verde for their wonderful photo shoot!
