VII INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP OF AFRICANISMS IN THE
CARIBBEAN
"ORTIZ LACHATANERE"
April 8 to 11, 2003
"Fernando Ortiz" African Cultural Center,
"Romulo Lachatanere" Afro-Caribbean Chair of Studies, the UNESCO
Afro-Ibero-American Chair of Studies of the University of Alcala, Heredia
Theatre, University of Oriente, Applied Linguistics Center as part of the
Territorial Delegation of Science Technology and Environment Ministry
(CITMA), CICIBA (International Center of Bantu Civilization) call the VII
International Workshop of Africanisms in the Caribbean
"'Ortiz-Lachatanere", to be held on April 8 to 11, 2003 with the
objective of creating a space of approach where we value the scientific work
in the disciplines of the Social Sciences to which Fernando Ortiz and Romulo
Lachatanere devoted their work.
We invite specialists on arts, literature, linguistics, philosophy,
religion, music and dance to share criteria and deepen on each theme in an
open dialogue. This edition will be devoted to the studies on bantuity. The
Bantu diaspora in America and the Caribbean was object of study of both
researchers, and the scientific approach to Bantu presence in our countries
is relevant nowadays. It should also be taken into account the fact that
studies on ethnic inquiry conducted in our country have proved, as one of
their results, that the majority of ethnic groups integrating slaves'
endowments were Bantu.
General Themes
* Fernando Ortiz y Romulo Lachatanere: studies on their life and work.
* Bantu people in the history of Africa. Pre-colonial stage, expansion,
territories, colonization, slave trade and the evolution of Bantu world up
to this date.
*Bantu culture in Africa and the New World. Its extension and survival.
Its expression in literature, music, fine arts and traditional medicine.
*Bantu religion. Its inter-dependence with Islam. Presence and evolution
of the Bantu element in popular religious expressions of African root in the
New World.
*Africanisms in cultural studies nowadays. Approaches in Cuba, America
and the Caribbean.
