- W1930233491 abstract "Taking stock from Ignacy Sachs book “La decouverte du Tiers monde”(1971), and inspired by Mudimbe’s seminal works The Invention of Africa(1988) and The Idea of Africa(1994), the paper discusses the images of Africa produced by Think Tanks. The author argues that while there is a plurality and diversity of worldviews, reflecting the ideologies and scientific disciplinary backgrounds that underpin them, in practice the challenges that confront us today on issues of alterity are not dissimilar to those that Sachs and others raised nearly half century age,. There is a need to question world views that establish hierarchies between the center, which is supposedly “civilized” and directs the world, and a periphery which is dominated and presumed “barbaric”. The author argues that the systematic study of the image of others, especially those produced by Think Tanks, cell for a critical engagement that would provide us with an opportunity for a multidisciplinary international collaboration in the field of social sciences research. There is still a long way to go in the field of knowledge production in order to address what the 2010 UNESCO’s World Report on Social Science called “Knowledge Divides” that relate to the imbalances that exist in terms of knowledge production in different parts of the world coupled with our persisting inability to address the current global social processes from a multidisciplinary point of view, free from preconceived ideas and bias of all kinds." @default.
