Call for Papers
"Shifting the Geography of Reason"
1st Meeting of The Caribbean Philosophical Association
The University of the West Indies (Barbados)
March 25-27, 2004
Co-sponsor:
Center for Caribbean Thought at the University of the West Indies
at Mona, Jamaica
Under this heading, the Caribbean Philosophical Association will take
as its organizing theme the implications of the rise of Africana and
other third world philosophies for geographical notions, metaphors,
and assumptions that have long been associated with modern concepts of
philosophical reason. What distinct forms have the geographies of
Africa, Latin America or India given to reason? On the Caribbean home
front, the rise of Africana philosophy has crystallized an awareness
of Caribbean philosophy as a discourse that links reason to four
different geographies: Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean itself.
In the spirit of this geographical interrogation of reason, we invite
the submission of papers on the texts and practices of Native
Caribbean, Afro-Caribbean, Indo-Caribbean, Euro-Caribbean, African,
Latin-American, African-American, Indian, and European philosophies as
these have all affected the practice of reason in the Caribbean.
In keeping with this focus, we encourage papers
and panels on topics such as:
New Geographies of Reason
Race and the Geography of Reason
Latin-American and Caribbean Philosophy
Afro-Caribbean and African-American Philosophy
African and Afro-Caribbean Philosophy
Fanon and Caribbean Existentialism
Kincaid and Africana Existentialism
