Philosophizing in African Languages: Past, Present, Future
Lecture by Anke Graness

GloPhi – Philosophizing in a Globalized World · Philosophizing in African Languages: Past, Present, Future (Anke Graness) – GloPhi – Philosophizing in a Globalized WorldThe African continent was often denied recognition as the home of philosophical schools, traditions or concepts – in part because African languages were considered too underdeveloped to form abstract concepts or grasp complex relationships.This was one of the arguments used by the European colonial powers to introduce the respective colonial languages as lingua franca and languages of education in their colonies, which led to the marginalization of the indigenous languages in many African countries – in political discourse, in the public sphere, but also in science, art and philosophy. It is not least against this background that controversial debates are being held in Africa about the significance of language for philosophizing, the importance of philosophizing in African languages (also as a contribution to decolonization) and the possibilities and limits of such an undertaking.The lecture traces some positions in the debates from the past and present, from Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o and Kwasi Wiredu to Chike Jeffers and the positions represented in our lecture series in the summer semester 2025, and attempts to give an outlook on future research.

âpihtawikosisân is back!!! With a fantastic project:

"I want to demonstrate that we don’t need a million dollar budget and a huge production team – and we certainly can’t wait for these things. I also strongly believe in creating a resource that is free to access. If you are an Indigenous person and Cree is one of your traditional languages, it is your birthright. The more opportunities that exist for you to reclaim that birthright, the better.”

Back after the terrible fire in Hawai'i I made a small donation to the Hawai'ian immersion school ʻAha Pūnana Leo. Today they sent me an annual report. What I love about it: most of the articles are in Hawai'ian! Some may not even have an English translation! There are also lots of wonderful photos of kids learning things in Hawai'ian, but what I really love about it is that they just use the language, even for the business report part. #linguistics #IndigenousLanguages #hawaii

Excerpt: Over the past two decades, the Native American Languages collection at the Sam Noble Museum in Norman has grown to about 9,000 items, from board games in Kaw and bingo in Navajo to hymns in Muscogee (Creek) and books for early readers in Yavapai.

"It ranges from the very serious or scholarly, like dictionaries and field recordings, to things like we've got a collection of 'Hi and Lois' cartoons in Cherokee," said Raina Heaton, associate curator of the Native American Languages Collection at the University of Oklahoma's natural history museum.

"While we focus on the Indigenous languages of Oklahoma, being in Oklahoma, we've got stuff in 1,300 languages from all over the planet. ... The collection is 100% built by donations, so people have entrusted us with this stuff."

Since she started at the Sam Noble Museum in 2017, Heaton has been on a mission to expand access to the vast collection. She marked a major milestone in 2022, when she received a $345,494 National Endowment for the Humanities grant for a three-year project to provide online access to the collection for the first time.

At the time, hers was the largest total NEH grant received by an individual investigator at OU and the second-largest collaborative NEH grant ever awarded to OU.

"We complied with all the regulations, all the check-ins, the reports. All of it was good," said Heaton, who is also a presidential associate professor in Native American studies at OU.

Like many other researchers at OU and nationwide, Heaton had her project thrown into turmoil last week by the sudden termination of her NEH grant at the direction of the federal Department of Government Efficiency, also known as DOGE.
