Engager l'anthropologie pour le développement et le changement social
The present APAD Bulletin contains a selection of papers presented at the APAD 2010 Conference in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, on the theme "Engaging Anthropology for Development and Social Change: Practices, Discourses and Ethics." Anthropological engagements face important challenges at the interface of research and development. The different ways by which anthropologists take on societal problems - either in their research capacity, as development experts, as activists, or as citizen - are inscribed in a longstanding debate. In this APAD Bulletin, the contributors deal with the central questions of how and under which conditions anthropology engages with society. The papers range from epistemological reflections and methodological queries to the anthropology of per diem and of public health, as well as to practical problems confronting anthropologists engaged in development cooperation.

Anthropologie et développement
Depuis 1960, année de leur indépendance, les pays d'Afrique ont connu plus de 30 ans de " développement ". Cependant les résultats n'ont pas été à la hauteur des espérances et le mot " développement " a besoin lui-même d'approches fondées sur l'analyse et le doute. Comment, aujourd'hui, décrire et comprendre les relations multiples qui existent entre les institutions de développement (publiques ou privées) et les populations locales auxquelles elles s'adressent ? La socio-anthropologie considère le " développement " comme une forme particulière de changement social, qu'un ensemble complexe d'intervenants (ONG, agences nationales ou internationales, experts, coopérants, tech...
African junctions under the neoliberal development paradigm
4e de couv.: Plaidoyer pour des études “subalternes” rigoureuses, l'ouvrage inclut, dans la mouvance de l'Association euro-africaine pour l'Anthropologie du Changement social et du Développement (APAD), dans une approche “par le bas”, tous les niveaux imbriqués de la remontée “vers le haut”. Il promeut l'analyse des réponses locales à l'injonction néolibérale de mondialisation et à ses processus d'application et présente, sur le mode de recherches empiriques, des problématiques comparables au-delà des situations. Au fil des chapitres pointe le décalage entre, d'une part, la “demande d'État” qui fonde la soumission des populations et, d'autre part, le désengagement de l'État sur lequel s'articulent les lignes de conduites des institutions internationales.
Money is the True Friend
The Ugandan economy was once solidly based on the export of cash crops such as coffee and cotton. The economic crisis and the civil war in the 1970s and 1980s however profoundly changed the agricultural economy, and marketing of traditional cash crops was replaced by marketing of commercialized food crops. "Money is the true friend" deals with the emergence of de-regulated food markets for maize in Eastern Uganda. The focus is not marketing as such, but rather a new social and economic field for local traders demarcated by the involvement in three maize markets: the relief market, the Kenyan market and the domestic market. The central problem illuminated in the book is the relationship between the liberalization of food marketing and the development of a new social and cultural practice - a morality - for trading which is both shaped by and shapes the marketing opportunities for the participating traders.
