It will examine and debate how progress and development were conceptualised, practised and imagined during the periods of national liberation struggles, of decolonisation and its aftermath, of political and social upheaval and change. It will analyse successes and failures on all levels and explore new ways of thinking that are being developed at the present time, particularly those that break with the prevailing consensus.<\/p>\n<p>By bringing the different generations into contact and interaction with each other, it is hoped to create a forum to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and understanding of the earlier period, on the one hand, and the expression and elaboration of new ideas of progress and development and how they might be achieved, on the other.<\/p>\n<p>It will look at specific struggles in North and Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America, as well as the international links connecting these movements. Possible themes will include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>National liberation and nation-building<\/li>\n<li>Globalisation and anti-capitalism<\/li>\n<li>Transnational movements<\/li>\n<li>Economic and social development<\/li>\n<li>Theoretical, philosophical and other considerations<\/li>\n<li>Race<\/li>\n<li>Gender<\/li>\n<li>Education and new academic approaches<\/li>\n<li>Young people<\/li>\n<li>Progress in the cultural field<\/li>\n<li>Media, information and communication<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Confirmed speakers include Samir Amin (Third World Forum, Dakar), Alice Cherki (psychoanalyst), Be\u00efda Chikhi (Universit\u00e9 de Paris &#8211; Sorbonne), Catherine L\u00e9vy (CNRS) and Jacques Sauvageot (Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Rennes).<\/p>\n<p>Proposed papers should be 20 minutes in length, in English or in French.
