Yusef Doucet: Una Historicidad Cultural Africana: Escapando de la Trampa CEADA 30 Views • 5 years ago

El Ciclo de Conferencias de Estudios Africanos y de la Diáspora Africana, ha sido creado para difundir el pensamiento Africano-centrado y PanAfricanista a través de las experiencias y los aportes de los Africanos y sus descendientes alrededor de mundo. Es un espacio abierto y permanente, donde se invitan expertos en diferentes áreas del conocimiento y donde el dialogo circunda en temas de interés colectivo y desde la perspectiva centrada en África, panafricana y anti-colonial.

Una Historicidad Cultural Africana: Escapando de la Trampa.

Los archivos históricos son un recuento de la historia, pero la versión que promueven no está tan cuestionada como debería ser. Las nuevas perspectivas y la promoción de miradas diversas son fundamentales para ayudar a redefinir el papel de la historia en la sociedad contemporánea. En su ensayo "Un extraño en la aldea", James Baldwin escribió "la gente está atrapada en la historia y la historia está atrapada en ellos." Allí, relata la experiencia de ser una persona negra en un pueblo de blancos en Suiza a principios de la década de 1950. Ahora imagine el mismo ensayo escrito por un escritor suizo blanco que relata la experiencia de un hombre negro en su aldea.

Los archivos capturan la historia en la medida en que consagran las perspectivas de quienes han tenido el privilegio de contarla y escribirla. Bajo el colonialismo, la historia está colonizada; es estar atrapados en la historia de otra persona (Arundhati Roy). La línea de tiempo histórica del colonizador se convierte en la línea de tiempo universal y lo que se da por sentado de eras y edades. ¿De quién es la prehistoria? ¿De quién es la antigüedad? ¿De quién es la Edad Media? ¿De quién es la modernidad? Yusef Doucet presenta una Historicidad Cultural Africana y nos invita a desafiar el estado monolítico unilateral de los anales de la historia, pero sobre todo, a escapar de su trampa.

[ENGLISH]

The Cycle of Conferences on African and the African Diaspora Studies [CEADA] invites to the conference “An African Cultural Historicity: Breaking Out the Trap” presented by Yusef Doucet.

The Cycle of Conferences on African and the African Diaspora Studies has been created to disseminate Afrocentric and Pan-Africanist thought through the experiences and contributions of Africans and their descendants worldwide. It is an open and permanent space where experts in different areas of knowledge are invited. The dialogue revolves around issues of collective interest and from the Afrocentric, Pan-Africanist, and anti-colonialist perspectives.

An African Cultural Historicity: Breaking Out the Trap.

The historical archives are a retelling of history, but the version they promote is not as questioned as it should be. New perspectives and the promotion of diverse points of view are critical to helping redefine the role of history in contemporary society. In his essay "Stranger in the Village," James Baldwin wrote, "people are trapped in history, and history is trapped in them." He recounts the experience of being black in a white village in Switzerland in the early 1950s. Now imagine the same essay written by a white Swiss writer recounting the experience of a black man in his village.

Archives capture history to the extent that they enshrine the perspectives of those who have had the privilege of telling and writing it. Under colonialism, history is colonized; it is being trapped in someone else's story (Arundhati Roy). The historical timeline of the colonizer becomes the universal and taken-for-granted timeline of eras and ages. Whose Pre-history? Whose antiquity? Whose Middle Ages? Whose modernity? Yusef Doucet presents African Cultural Historicity and invites us to challenge the one-sided monolithic state of the annals of history, but above all, to escape its trap.

Meet the Rainwater Harvesting Champions of Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda [2016]
Meet the Rainwater Harvesting Champions of Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda [2016] Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 19 Views • 5 years ago

RAIN is all about rainwater harvesting, check http://www.rainfoundation.org/

Sufficient and safe water should be available to everyone. Unfortunately, many people don’t have access to safe water. How to change that? Harvest rainwater!

Since its foundation in 2003, RAIN has been working with its partners to develop, spread and implement rainwater harvesting systems.

The idea is simple. There is hardly a place in the world where it never rains. Rainwater belongs to everyone. And the methods to collect, store, use and reuse rainwater (to ‘harvest’ rainwater) are easy to apply. So why not spread those methods around the world?

Rainwater harvesting: for whom?
We aim to motivate and help as many people as possible to apply these methods in a sustainable and effective way, whether the water is for domestic, productive or environmental purposes.

Our focus is on making the concept and practice of rainwater harvesting (RWH) familiar to people in areas that lack sufficient and safe water sources.
