Title: Contemporary Perspectives on African Proverbs Conference
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/17/17-1743.html#2 CONTEMPORARY PERSPECTIVES ON AFRICAN PROVERBS 1ST - 5TH AUGUST, 2006 Venue: Conference Centre, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria As Eustace Egblewogbe puts it, ''African proverbs everywhere are a distillation of the wisdom of the people derived over the ages from a careful observation of everyday experiences involving human beings, nature, and animals, as well as natural phenomena and social events.'' Moreover, as is asserted in the proverb about proverbs recorded by Wolfgang Mieder, ''A good maxim is never out of season.'' When radical changes occur in society, these proverbs adapt accordingly because, as Mieder further notes, due to their flexibility, proverbs can be ''intentionally changed to fit the needs and thoughts of modern people.'' It is in the light of the foregoing that this conference is convened to examine the ubiquity, versatility and resilience of proverbs as Africa continues to strive to balance tradition with modernity.
