Les discours sur l’homosexualité au Sénégal
Dans plusieurs pays africains, les relations sexuelles entre personnes de même sexe font l’objet d’un déni considérable. Au Sénégal, la répression à l’encontre de l’homosexualité s’appuie sur l’article 319 du Code Pénal et autorise à emprisonner ceux déclarés coupable jusqu’à cinq ans. Depuis la fin de la décennie 2000, on assiste à un accroissement des discours et violences homophobes au Sénégal et dans d’autres pays africains (Uganda, Cameroun, Gambie). Cette recherche s’applique à resituer les discours et pratiques actuels dans leur actualité tout en retraçant leur généalogie. Toutefois l’intérêt n’est pas ici de donner une vision totalisante ...

The Belly of the Atlantic
"This charming, vivid and poetic book captures the poignancy of immigrant life and all the unresolved pain of Africa's relationship with its former colonial powers."--Michela Wrong Salie lives in Paris. Back home on the Senegalese island of Niodior, her football-crazy brother Madické counts on her to get him to France, the promised land where foreign footballers become world famous.

Heterosexual Africa?
Heterosexual Africa? The History of an Idea from the Age of Exploration to the Age of AIDS builds from Marc Epprecht’s previous book, Hungochani (which focuses explicitly on same-sex desire in southern Africa), to explore the historical processes by which a singular, heterosexual identity for Africa was constructed—by anthropologists, ethnopsychologists, colonial officials, African elites, and most recently, health care workers seeking to address the HIV/AIDS pandemic. This is an eloquently written, accessible book, based on a rich and diverse range of sources, that will find enthusiastic audiences in classrooms and in the general public. Epprecht argues that Africans, just like people a...
Queer Roots for the Diaspora
Employing rootedness as a way of understanding identity has increasingly been subjected to acerbic political and theoretical critiques. Politically, roots narratives have been criticized for attempting to police identity through a politics of purity—excluding anyone who doesn’t share the same narrative. Theoretically, a critique of essentialism has led to a suspicion against essence and origins regardless of their political implications. The central argument of Queer Roots for the Diaspora is that, in spite of these debates, ultimately the desire for roots contains the “roots” of its own deconstruction. The book considers alternative root narratives that acknowledge the impossibility...

Arguing that the telling of life-stories of m...
L’archéologie du Futur: Cinémas Africains et Utopies /Archeology of the Future: African Cinemas and Utopias
Depuis ses origines, le cinéma est lié à l’histoire dans une double perspective rétrospective et prospective, qu’il soit geste d’appropriation du passé par la mémoire ou qu’il soit mouvement d’anticipation du futur. Ainsi, la création filmique en Afrique se situe dans la tension entre d’une part, archéologie, histoire et mémoire, et d’autre, part avenir et utopie. Les contributions invitent à réfléchir à la dimension „préemptive“, pour reprendre une expression de Patrice Nganang, des cinémas africains, leur capacité à répondre à l’urgence en même temps qu’à anticiper. Elles s’articulent également autour de l’idée d’une continuité temporelle...
