Al examinar las referencias a los proverbios en los discursos políticos africanos a la luz de la semiología integracional y la teoría del sur, no encontramos fósiles de sabiduría antigua, sino la construcción creativa de futuros deseados que pueden surgir de la situación actual a la luz de lo que se ha aprendido del pasado. El discurso proverbial, siempre hablando de la situación actual y comentando las posibilidades disponibles mientras está abierto a múltiples interpretaciones, sugiere un argumento importante sobre la naturaleza provisional y contextual de todo nuestro conocimiento. Partiendo de la suposición de que cada uno de nosotros está en una mejor posición para comprender nuestra propia situación de lo que podría estarlo cualquier observador extranjero o esquema abstracto, argumentamos que la indeterminación del discurso proverbial creativo puede presentar una mejor base epistemológica para lidiar con las incertidumbres de eventos naturales. Sugerimos que el discurso proverbial, tal como se practica en varias sociedades africanas, puede utilizarse como una forma de enmarcar y abordar las teorías del sur.
