Research project: Cultural Images in and of Africa
The project was initiated in 1995 in response to recommendations that the Institute include cultural change into its research priorities and profile. The main objectives are:
1. to encourage new research and studies in the Nordic countries on cultural change and issues in Africa;
2. to create a network of scholars in the Nordic countries and Africa for co-operation and contacts;
3. to contribute to a critical examination of the negative and prejudiced images of Africa in the Nordic countries;
4. to encourage an interest in contemporary African cultural expressions.
The project covers three themes:
1) Culture and identity
2) Image formation in Africa. European encounters
3) Cultural dynamics of contemporary Africa
