The Strategy for Culture 2019-2025 approved in 2019, for example, was drafted in accordance with the principles and objectives of the Convention, provided guidelines and directed concrete measures, such as awareness raising and support for creative industries, inclusion of culture in economic development, support for the digitization of cultural expressions, promotion of new artistic expressions, intensification of cultural exchanges, inclusion of civil society and especially the young in all cultural policy and legal framework debates, etc. The Law on Cultural Heritage and Museums 27/2018, among others, also sets up rules on the trading of cultural assets and free movement. In line with the 2005 Convention, Albania adopted the Law on Protection of National Minorities in the Republic of Albania in October 2017. During 2020, priorities have been redesigned due to the unexpected global closure of all cultural institutions and the cancellation of all independent stage activities. The outbreak of COVID-19 found Albania struggling to recover from infrastructural damages to cultural objects caused by the devastating earthquake of 26 November 2019. In this context, the Ministry of Culture of Albania has undertaken new initiatives that aim to: • Foster the creative industries - as a way to face the socio-economic challenges and promote links between creative industries and culture. Businesses operating in the cultural sector and related to handicrafts, producers of items connected to music field (e.g. instruments), visual artists, etc. have benefited from the internal financial plan to support small businesses. • The current situation has also highlighted the importance of creating new digital cultural spaces and digital archives. Thus, through the Digitalization Centre established in 2019, the Ministry of Culture aims to make Albanian cultural assets accessible and available worldwide. It is important to link this Centre with new online educational programmes and training courses, which are designed as long-term post-COVID measures. • During social distancing, the public needs an alternative cultural product, so there are plans to set up digital platforms for displaying the best content generated by our cultural institutions, such as the National Theatre, the Theatre of Opera, Ballet and Folk Ensemble, museums, libraries, galleries, etc. For the future, the Ministry of Culture’s priority is the promotion of the use of technology, as well as support for start-ups in the creative industry. The pandemic highlighted the need for an increase in platforms and programmes expected to create new versions of culture. To this end, we aim to create a new cultural hub for the creative industry through start-ups, under the supervision and economic support of the government. For this reason, the Ministry of Culture is reconsidering the distribution of the Open Call Projects Fund through more flexible projects, adapted to the situation of self-employed artists, cultural professionals, creative industries and non-profit cultural operators. The funds provided for cultural projects will be oriented towards digital cultural projects, to support innovative initiatives tapping into the potential offered by creative industries. Albania, as well, will continue to participate in the EU Creative Europe programme, Europe for Citizens Programme and many other international projects and networks. DCE/21/8.CP/INF.9 – page 5 Annex ALGERIA Algeria officially ratified the 2005 Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions on 26 February 2015. The latter recognizes the specific nature of culture as an important factor of economic and social development and ensures that artists, culture professionals, practitioners and citizens around the world have the opportunity to create, produce, distribute/disseminate and enjoy a wide range of cultural activities, goods and services, including their own. These are all aspects that reflect the concerns of the Algerian State and Algerian society for cultural expressions in Algeria, which involve, in addition to culture and art, very diverse sectors such as trade, finance, employment, social affairs, communication, education, human development, statistics, planning and so forth. As experience has clearly shown, the States Parties’ quadrennial periodic reports on the implementation of the Convention have marked a turning point in some countries and have made it possible to officially adopt certain measures and approaches, as the drafting of the report has brought together the ministries concerned with culture, and its publication has enabled countries to share their experiences and build up a database on the digital platform of the 2005 Convention on the UNESCO website. Since its ratification in 2015, Algeria took part, for the first time, in the work of the 13th Intergovernmental Committee, which took place from 11 to 14 February 2020 at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris. Algeria’s presentation on "Benefits, achievements and challenges of the participatory monitoring process of cultural policies in progress at the national level – the case of Algeria" summarized the process completed so far for the drafting of this report. Since 2019, Algeria has been engaged in local preparations for the drafting of its first quadrennial periodic report and has thus regained its place in the international debate on the question of the professional status of the artist. The three Algerian editions of the world cultural movement “ResiliArt”, international multi-stakeholder consultations on the status of the artist in the face of crises, organized by the Secretariat of State for Cultural Production on 4, 16 and 30 May 2020 – a first in the Arab world – are a good example of this commitment to the 2005 Convention. This report therefore consists of an objective and non-exhaustive review of cultural policies and real achievements with regard to the implementation of the 2005 Convention observed in Algeria between 2015 and 2019. The institutional actions and measures as well as the civil and autonomous initiatives presented in this report have been carefully studied and impartially selected for their quality, importance, relevance, pragmatism, inventiveness, sustainability, and national and international impact. They are examples that are deemed worthy of consideration in the process of preparing the Global Report 2022 of the 2005 Convention.

  • A Word of Welcome from the Conference Organizer
    A word of welcome from the conference organizer Dear conference delegates, Welcome to the Nordic Africa Days 2014 in Uppsala! The Nordic Africa Days (NAD) is the biennial conference which for the past six years has been organized rotatively in each of the Nordic countries. Already since 1969 the Nordic Africa Institute has organised this regular gathering of Nordic scholars studying African issues, and the event has for the past 15 years been formalized under the name of the Nordic Africa Days. The theme of this year’s conference is Misbehaving States and Behaving Citizens? Questions of Governance in African States. We are proud to host two distinguished keynote speakers, Dr Mo Ibrahim and Associate Professor Morten Jerven, addressing the theme from different angles in their speeches entitled “Why Governance Matters” and “Africa by Numbers: Knowledge & Governance”. The conference is funded by long-standing and committed support from the Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian and Icelandic governments. This year, we are also particularly pleased to be able to facilitate participation of about 25 researchers based on the African continent through a generous contribution from Sida (The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency). Providing a platform for Nordic and African researchers to meet and cooperate at NAD is becoming ever more important, in addition to creating a prime meeting place for researchers on Africa within the Nordic region. The main conference venue is Blåsenhus, one of the newest campuses within Uppsala University, situated opposite the Uppsala Castle and surrounded by the Uppsala Botanical Gardens. This particular area of Uppsala has a historical past that goes back 350 years in time and offers many interesting places to visit.

  • Creolization in Anthropological Theory and in Mauritius
    Creolization in Anthropological 8 Theory and in Mauritius Thomas Hylland Eriksen A great amount of intellectual energy has been invested in cultural mixing during the last decades. Reacting against an idea of boundedness, internal homogeneity, and stability that has been associated with mainstream twentieth-century anthropology, hundreds—possibly thousands—of anthropologists have tried to redefine, reform, revolutionize, or even relinquish that abhorred “C” word—”culture.” The range of engagement is suggested in the apparent congruence between postmodernist American anthropologists (for example, Clifford & Marcus 1986) and their now classic critique of the Geertzian notion of cultural integration, and the older European critique of the structural-functionalist idea of social inte- gration, which was led by people such as Barth (1966), whose rationalism and naturalism is everything but postmodernist. In both cases, presup- positions of integrated wholes, cultures or social structures, have been debunked. From being a discipline concentrating its efforts on understanding nonliterate societies, often implicitly positing the uncontaminated abo- rigine as its hero, anthropology increasingly studies cultural impurity and hybridity, and the dominant normative discourse in the field has shifted from defending the cultural rights of small peoples to combating essentialism and reifying identity politics. While this development has been important and necessary for a variety of reasons, the perspectives 154 CREOLIZATION developed risk being one-sided and inadequate.1 A focus on mixing and flows that does not take continuity and boundedness into account ends up undermining its own social theory: Every social scientist knows that cultural meaning is being reproduced and transmitted between generations and that natives do classify and create boundaries, often amidst powerful tendencies of cultural mixing.

  • The Mauritian Creole and the Concept of Creolization
    TU DIMUNN PU VINI KREOL: THE MAURITIAN CREOLE AND THE CONCEPT OF CREOLIZATION THOMAS HYLLAND ERIKSEN Lecture delivered at the Transnational Communities programme, Oxford University, December 1999. Available as a working paper here. The concept of cultural creolisation, introduced in anthropology by Ulf Hannerz (see Hannerz 1992), refers to the intermingling and mixing of two or several formerly discrete traditions or cultures. In an era of global mass communication and capitalism, creolisation can be identified nearly everywhere in the world, but there are important differences as to the degree of mixing. The concept has been criticized for essentialising cultures (as if the merging traditions were "pure" at the outset, cf. Friedman 1994). Although this critique may sometimes be relevant, the concept nevertheless helps making sense of a great number of contemporary cultural processes, characterised by movement, change and fuzzy boundaries. Creolisation, as it is used by some anthropologists, is an analogy taken from linguistics. This discipline in turn took the term from a particular aspect of colonialism, namely the uprooting and displacement of large numbers of people in the plantation economies of certain colonies, such as Louisiana, Jamaica, Trinidad, Réunion and Mauritius. Both in the Caribbean basin and in the Indian Ocean, certain (or all) groups who contributed to this economy during slavery were described as creoles. Originally, a criollo meant a European (normally a Spaniard) born in the New World (as opposed to peninsulares); today, a similar usage is current in La Réunion, where everybody born in the island, regardless of skin colour, is seen as créole, as opposed to the zoreils who were born in metropolitan France.
