The concept of amefricanity (amefricanidade), proposed by the Brazilian intellectual Lélia Gonzalez, and the concept of creolization, developed by Édouard Glissant, and more recently taken up, among others, by Anca Parvulescu and Manuela Boatcă, examine the possibility of critically understanding the modern. In his conference, Stefan Fornos Klein (Universidade de Brasília) will bring together these different concepts and authors aiming to provoke new perspectives towards America, Latin America and Améfrica Ladina. It is expected to contribute towards pointing out relevant contradictions among the plain understanding of Latin America and the Caribbean as “Western” (occidental), therefore also dealing with the limitation of dualistic worldviews such as West/East, North/South, Orient/Occident. Since processes of reification seem to underlie any form of conceptualization, it is thus fundamental to directly address its criteria and conditions.
