The theme of the STC-YCS2 is in line with the overall theme of the Union for 2016 which is: “African Year of Human Rights, with Particular Focus on the Rights of Women.” As to Culture, the Committee will examine the problem of the promotion of the AU Charter for African Cultural Renaissance, adopted 10 years ago (Khartoum, 2006) but has only been ratified by eight AU Member States. Other policy instruments of the culture that will be discussed are the African Union Plan of Action on Cultural and Creative industries (Algiers, 2008) and the African Union Policy Model on the Protection of Heritage (under development). The African Union Agenda 2063, the new strategic framework for Africa’s development for the next fifty (50) is also a crucial policy guide for Member States. The session will also provide an opportunity for the review and adoption of the Report on the Status of the African Audio-Visual and Cinema Sector and the Draft Statute of the African Audio Visual and Cinema Commission (AACC). The Executive Director of OCPA was invited to participate at this meeting and make a report to the conference about the activities realized by the Observatory since October 2014.

Celebrating cultural diversity means opening up new perspectives for sustainable development and promoting creative industries and cultural entrepreneurship as sources of millions of jobs worldwide – particularly for young people and especially for women. Culture is a sustainable development accelerator whose potential has been recognized in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations. The enemies of human rights always attack cultural diversity, which symbolizes the freedom to be and to think, unbearable to them. On this day, let us dare to respond to them collectively: Let us srengthen the spirit of this day, as a peaceful weapon against isolationism, closure and exclusion, which lead humanity to renounce itself, ignoring its own wealth.

  • Performance, Relevance, Incantations, Poetry, Contemporary and Context
    American Journal of Sociological Research 2017, 7(5): 123-132 DOI: 10.5923/j.sociology.20170705.01 The Artistic Performance and Social Significance of Nso Incantations Andrew T. Ngeh1,*, Ngeh Ernestilia Dzekem2 1University of Buea, Cameroon 2University of Bamenda, Cameroon Abstract This paper sets out to investigate whether the incantations performed by the people of Nso in the North West region of Cameroon are relevant in the contemporary society that is mostly characterized by enormous scientific and technological innovations. The study contends that “Lamnso” which is the language spoken by the Nso people of the North West region of Cameroon constitutes a reservoir and cultural quarry for Orature. The culture it houses is rich in oral literature even though it is being threatened by globalization, cultural imperialism, neo-colonialism and modernism. It is for this reason that, this study, considers the examination of Nso oral tradition as an integral global concern. In order to attain the objectives of this study, the ecocritical and sociological readings imposed themselves on these incantations. The study further argues that though most material of Orature comes from the past and was commonly seen to be rooted in the distant past, it can still be used to interpret contemporary and historical realities because it reviews the past, evaluates the present and anticipates the future. Raph Perry notes in the Foreword to African Culture: The Rhythms of Unity that “The past as embodied in contemporary adults is both the bed of reactionaries and springboard of innovations” (110). It is in this light that this study contends that the traditional society and the modern one are mutually inclusive entities with regard to African oral literature.
