L'université de Dakar au coeur de la coopération franco-sénégalaise. 1960-années 1980
En 1960, l'enjeu pour les nations occidentales, présentes en Afrique et confrontées à la puissante dynamique de décolonisation, résidait dans leurs capacités à s'y déployer. Pour les États nouvellement indépendants, leur principale préoccupation consistait en l'affirmation de leurs aptitudes à donner corps à toutes les initiatives de développement et de construction nationale. Consciente que la langue, les idéaux et les valeurs comptaient de manière perspicace dans toute politique de « pénétration » et de capture des coeurs et des esprits du peuple à assujettir, la France fit de l'université de Dakar un instrument efficace de sa diplomatie culturelle de (re)positionneme...
Reconfiguring Slavery
A fascinating collection that advances a renewed conceptual framework for understanding slavery in West Africa today: instead of retracing the end of West African slavery, this work highlights the preliminary contours of its recent reconfigurations.
Invisible Borders in a Bordered World
This book critically challenges the usual territorial understanding of borders by examining the often messy internal, transborder, ambiguous, and in-between spaces that co-exist with traditional borders. By considering those less visible aspects of borders, the book develops an inclusive understanding of how contemporary borders are structured and how they influence human identity, mobility, and belonging. The introduction and conclusion provide theoretical and contextual framing, while chapters explore topics of global labor and refugees, unrecognized states, ethnic networks, cyberspace, transboundary resource conflicts, and indigenous and religious spaces that rarely register on conventional maps or commonplace understandings of territory. In the end, the volume demonstrates that, despite being "invisible" on most maps, these borders have a very real, material, and tangible presence and consequences for those people who live within, alongside, and across them.
Rethinking Resistance
Revolts and violence have always been features of African history but questions frequently still remain as to what and who the targets of resistance were. This volume reviews the subject of resistance in the light of current scholarly thought. Were political forms of resistance directed at the imposition or ending of colonial rule or at African elites profiting from the onset of capitalist relations of production? Or did they have purely sociological or religious roots? With contributions from historians, anthropologists and political scientists, Rethinking Resistance analyzes the concepts of resistance, violence and ideological imagination, and has chapters on uprisings and revolts in nineteenth-century pre-colonial societies and early colonial Africa, post-colonial rebellions and more recent and contemporary conflicts.
The Digital Musician
The Digital Musician explores what it means to be a musician in the digital age. It examines musical skills, cultural awareness and artistic identity through the prism of recent technological innovations. New technologies, and especially the new digital technologies, mean that anyone can produce music without musical training. This book asks why make music? what music to make? and how do we know what is good?
A Fulfulde (Maasina) - English - French Lexicon
The Lexicon brings together lexical material from a wide range of published and non-published sources to create an extensive compilation of the vocabulary of Fulfulde as it is spoken in that part of central Mali known as Masina (in Fulfulde, Maasina). The Lexicon is intended primarily for non-Fulfulde speakers who are learning the language at the intermediate or advanced levels and who need access to a comprehensive reference source on Fulfulde vocabulary. Scholars, development workers, and others whose research or fieldwork involves use of the Fulfulde of Masina may find it helpful as well in clarifying nuances of meaning and standardized spelling for the less familiar terms they might encounter. It is also intended that the present work, beyond the matter of organizing vocabulary, will contribute significantly to the expanding lexicographical and linguistic investigations of Fulfulde.
Figures peules
Depuis maintenant dix ans, le GREFUL (Groupe d'études comparatives des sociétés peules) anime un séminaire de recherches interdisciplinaires et comparatives consacré au monde peul. Ce lieu de rencontre a rassemblé chercheurs et doctorants, représentant différentes disciplines des sciences sociales et relevant de diverses institutions françaises et étrangères. L'audience internationale du séminaire, en réunissant chercheurs africains et européens, a permis, à partir de nombreux terrains, d'initier une réflexion neuve et contradictoire sur des questions fortes qui sont parfois l'objet de controverses. La grande diversité de sociétés se réclamant d'une même identité et par...
