African Culture in the Making of the Modern World Faculty of Arts, University of Ibadan, Nigeria 1st Biennial Faculty of Arts International Conference, June 6-9, 2011 Papers addressing issues relating to the role of African culture in the making of the modern world are invited for presentation at the 1st Biennial Faculty of Arts International Conference. This four-day conference taking place at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria seeks to understand the place, position and role of African culture (broadly defined), in the making of the modern world. It further seeks to interrogate the frameworks within which our culture has been represented in the expanding global circulation of people, ideas, knowledge, objects, texts, fabrics, songs, practices, values and beliefs. The conference brings together scholars of literature, culture, music and dance, religion, language, history, archaeology, performing arts, philosophy, art history and scholars from other disciplines and methodological approaches who are interested in the influence of African culture and its points of intersection with the modern world. We envisage that the conference will focus on the following sub-themes, but we expect speakers to interpret these flexibly: - Philosophical and intellectual thoughts
- The African Diaspora
- Africa in global sports and recreation
- Visual Arts, aesthetics
- Film, video, crafts, songs, dance and music
- Material Culture, Popular Culture/ Youth sub-culture
- Religion and religious diversity
- Peace and Conflict Resolution
- Democracy, political civil-military relations
- Poverty and wealth
- Nature/Natural Knowledge/Natural Resources
- Gender
- Food and food Security
- Science, technology, diseases and disease control
