The Scent of the Father
Language: English
Published by John Wiley and Sons Ltd, GB, 2022
ISBN 10: 1509551395 ISBN 13: 9781509551392
Seller: Rarewaves.com USA, London, LONDO, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Valentin-Yves Mudimbe is a Congolese philosopher, novelist, poet, essayist, and academic, widely considered to be one of the most important African thinkers of his generation. The ideas and arguments he has developed in his writings since the 1970s, including The Invention of Africa, have been hugely influential across many disciplines and established his reputation as one of the essential postcolonial thinkers of our time. In The Scent of the Father, Mudimbe set himself the task of shedding light on the complex links that bind Africa to the West and determine the exercise of thought and knowledge practices, particularly in relation to the social sciences. For Africa to escape the West, says Mudimbe, it must become aware of what remains Western in the very concepts and forms of thought that allow it to think against the West, and be alert to the possibility that the recourse against the West might be just another ruse that the West uses for its own ends. Africa must elucidate the modalities of the integration of Africans into the myths of the West, while at the same time aiming at the readaptation of the African psyche in the wake of the violence it has suffered. This seminal work by a leading African thinker will be of great interest to anyone concerned with the legacies of colonialism and the debates on decolonization and decoloniality in the social and human sciences.

L'invenzione dell'Africa
Seller: Libro Co. Italia Srl, San Casciano Val di Pesa, FI, Italy
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Brossura. Condition: new. A cura di Muzzopappa G.Roma, 2017; br., pp. 319, cm 14x21.(Biblioteca/Antropologia. 12). Qual è il significato dell'Africa e dell'essere africani? Cos'è la filosofia africana e cosa invece non è? La filosofia è parte dell'"africanismo"? Queste sono alcune delle domande fondamentali poste da "L'invenzione dell'Africa". Valentin Y. Mudimbe dimostra che sono i diversi discorsi a fondare gli universi di pensiero all'interno dei quali le persone concepiscono la propria identità. Gli antropologi e i missionari occidentali hanno dato origine a distorsioni che operano non soltanto sullo sguardo esterno, ma anche su quello degli africani che tentano di comprendere se stessi. Mudimbe si spinge oltre le questioni classiche dell'antropologia o della storia africane. Il libro, scrive, tenta "un'archeologia della gnosi africana intesa come sistema di conoscenza nell'ambito del quale sono sorte, di recente, questioni filosofiche di fondamentale importanza: in primo luogo, la questione relativa alla forma, al contenuto e allo stile del sapere 'africanizzante'; in secondo luogo quella relativa allo status dei sistemi tradizionali di pensiero". Il suo interesse si concentra soprattutto sui processi di trasformazione dei diversi tipi di sapere. Libro.
