Call for Papers To: Lagos Studies Association <lagosstudiesassociation@gmail.com> Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="0000000000004348b30590d2fb5e" Bcc: farinola@dominicaninstitute.org --0000000000004348b30590d2fb5e Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear LSA Community: Greetings! The Call for Papers for the 5th edition of our conference is ready! The conference will hold in Lagos between June 25 and 27, 2020. Please share with your network. -------------- *The 5th Annual Lagos Studies Association Conference* *Theme: Postcolonial African Cities at 60: Continuities and Discontinuities= * *June 25-27, 2020* *Lagos, Nigeria* The concept of postcolonialism is dominant in African studies for one principal reason=E2=80=94its flexibility at a temporal, theoretical, histor= ical, and spatial level. While many thinkers regard the postcolonial as a period thoroughly disengaged from imperialism, others view it as a series of responses, contestations, and critiques that throw into sharp relief colonialism=E2=80=99s most gruesome atrocities. Yet, others consider it an = unending circulation of colonial knowledge and practices in postcolonial societies. Thus, coloniality is deeply implicated in the postcolonial. Serious attention to comparative postcolonial cities promises to track how different African urban spaces have evolved from their precolonial and colonial incarnations. The globalization of urban institutions and governance, the remaking of the city by urbanites, and the efflorescence of hybrid identities that borrow from multiple sites of knowledge and power characterize postcolonial African cities. Yet, the postcolonial African city defies easy definition, even as African countries enter their 6th decade of independence in 2020. This 5th edition of the annual LSA conference seeks to place the postcolonial at the center the African city, and ask how the concept shapes our framing of African urban locations in their physical, imaginative, spatial, and theoretical dimensions. We seek to move beyond the simplistic dialectic that the city is either a measure of development or decay in postcolonial Africa; instead, we would like to engage provocative ideas about people, institutions, narratives, and practices that make each urban location unique, without ignoring the shared histories and experiences of African cities. What is postcolonial about African cities since the 1960s? How have African cities evolved from their colonial past? Is there any correlation between decolonization on the one hand, and urban governance, artistic expressions, identity formations, and countless of other manifestations of daily existence, on the other? Why might the city form the basis of intellectual engagements within the expansive narratives of postcolonial state and nation-building? In what ways can the rhetoric of political, cultural, or epistemological decolonization improve our knowledge of African cities? How are cities that emerged since the 1960s different or similar to those with roots in precolonial and colonial eras? Did the postcolonial state engender a unique type of city or urbanization process? We welcome abstracts from academic and nonacademic practitioners working on any African urban location and across the following fields and themes, among others: African feminisms African philosophies of urbanism Afrofuturism, Afropolitanism, and temporalities Architecture Arts, musical culture, and performance Atlantic connections Childhood and youth identities Cinema, films, Nollywood Civil society and activism Civil war and reconstruction Conflict resolution, peace-keeping, and security Cyber culture, social media, and digital representation Decolonizing the African city Dictatorship and military rule Ecocritical readings of African urbanism Economic and fiscal policies Education and literacy Ethnicity and inter-group relations Globalization and transnationalism Health and healing Heritage, archeology, material culture, and museums Inequality and class conflict Infrastructure and urban planning Knowledge systems and philosophy Labor, employment, business, and entrepreneurship Language, literature, and orality Media, popular culture, and self-fashioning Mobility and transportation Nature conservation and environment Oil and mineral extraction Photography and digital imaging Politics, electoral process, political parties Queer studies and African sexualities Religion and urbanism Shipping, maritime history, piracy, and port studies Space and place-making Spirituality and religious identities Theorizing African cities Urban animals and zoocritical perspectives Urban anthropology and sociology of everyday life Urban governance and planning Women, gender, and sexualities --Among others *Individual Submission*: Individual proposals should include a 250-word abstract, a short bio, and email and phone contacts of presenters.
