Cape Town Harmonies
"Cape Towns public cultures can only be fully appreciated through recognition of its deep and diverse soundscape. We have to listen to what has made and makes a city. The ear is an integral part of the research tools one needs to get a sense of any city. We have to listen to the sounds that made and make the expansive mother city. Various of its constituent parts sound different from each other [T]here is the sound of the singing men and their choirs (teams they are called) in preparation for the longstanding annual Malay choral competitions. The lyrics from the various repertoires they perform are hardly ever written down. [] There are texts of the hallowed Dutch songs but these do not circ...
Sounding the Cape
For several centuries Cape Town has accommodated a great variety of musical genres which have usually been associated with specific population groups living in and around the city. Musical styles and genres produced in Cape Town have therefore been assigned an "identity" which is first and foremost social. This volume tries to question the relationship established between musical styles and genres, and social - in this case pseudo-racial - identities. In Sounding the Cape, Denis-Constant Martin recomposes and examines through the theoretical prism of creolisation the history of music in Cape Town, deploying analytical tools borrowed from the most recent studies of identity configurations. He...
Cape Town: A Place Between
Cape Town is a place between two oceans, between first and third worlds, between east and west. The majority of its citizens: a people between black and white, native and settler, African and European. How can we understand a city that is most assuredly in Africa, though not””seemingly””of it? By exploring this city’s tween-ness, we can begin to understand the soul of this town””haunted by its past, unsure of its future. A short book just over 100 pages, it allows readers to quickly identify the unique pulse of the city, its throbbing historical, social, cultural and political beat that underlies the transactions between all Capetonians. This is not a substitute for a traditional guidebook, but a perfect companion to one, filling in the intimate details that other books leave out.
The Oxford Handbook of the Phenomenology of Music Cultures
A source of profound insights into human existence and the nature of lived experience, phenomenology is among the most influential intellectual movements of the last hundred years. The Oxford Handbook of the Phenomenology of Music Cultures brings ideas from the phenomenological tradition of Continental European philosophy into conversation with theoretical, ethnographic, and historical work from ethnomusicology, anthropology, sound studies, folklore studies, and allied disciplines to develop new perspectives on musical practices and auditory cultures. With sustained theoretical meditations and evocative ethnography, the book's twenty-two chapters advance scholarship on topics at the heart of...
Fault Lines
What is the link, if any, between race and disease? How did the term baster as ‘mixed race’ come to be mistranslated from ‘incest’ in the Hebrew Bible? What are the roots of racial thinking in South African universities? How does music fall on the ear of black and white listeners? Are new developments in genetics simply a backdoor for the return of eugenics? For the first time, leading scholars in South Africa from different disciplines take on some of these difficult questions about race, science and society in the aftermath of apartheid. This book offers an important foundation for students pursuing a broader education than what a typical degree provides, and a must-read resource for every citizen concerned about the lingering effects of race and racism in South Africa and other parts of the world.

Politique africaine N-150
Dossier Entre la guerre civile dans les deux régions anglophones du Cameroun et la menace terroriste de Boko Haram dans l’Extrême-Nord, la propagande du régime de Paul Biya autour de « la paix et la stabilité », fragile mais réelle pendant des années, vole en éclats. Pour se maintenir, le régime avait mis en place une dérégulation morale, sociale et économique. Fondée sur la redistribution clientéliste et le contrôle des élites politiques, cet ethos de la manducation s’est nourri d’un immobilisme ontologique. C’est l’État stationnaire dont ce dossier se saisit. Les nouvelles figures composites de l’opposition ont cependant mis à profit les réseaux sociaux et l...

L’apprenant au cœur du système éducatif et universitaire
Cet ouvrage, centré sur la place de l’apprenant, regroupe une quinzaine de contributions présentées lors du troisième Forum citoyen international de l’éducation qui s’est tenu à Hammamet en novembre 2022. L’approche privilégiée est à la fois pluridisciplinaire et comparative : elle prend appui sur différentes études de cas relatives à la francophonie (France, Québec, Haïti, Tunisie, Sénégal) et se focalise sur les pratiques innovantes, le travail collaboratif et la reconnaissance des acquis expérientiels. Sont également discutés les dispositifs de lutte contre le décrochage et les inégalités scolaires, les défis de l’apprentissage et de la formation ou bien encore la problématique de l’altérité et de l’inclusion.
