Political Silence of Youth in Togo
This book paints an image of sociality in duress, describing how new Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) bring possible changes in political engagement and civic-ness. The political branch of the field of ICT-for-Development (ICT4D) is firmly convinced that this translates in civic engagement and democratisation. This book questions this conception, by showing that mistrust greatly increases through new ICT in a society where mistrust has been internalised. These processes are examined in the society encountered in Sokodé, the capital of the Central Region of Togo, in the period between 2015 and 2020, when the mobile phone became widespread among young people. This ethnographic...
The Social Life of Connectivity in Africa

This book examines the myriad possibilities that the post-global moment offers African societies to develop and to relate, offering profound new insights into the processes of globalization.
The Routledge Handbook of Media and Technology Domestication
This Handbook offers a comprehensive overview of media domestication – the process of appropriating new media and technology – and delves into the theoretical, conceptual and social implications of the field’s advancement. Combining the work of the long-established experts in the field with that of emerging scholars, the chapters explore both the domestication concept itself and domestication processes in a wide range of fields, from smartphones used to monitor drug use to the question of time in the domestication of energy buildings. The international team of authors provide an accessible and thorough assessment of key issues, themes and problems with and within domestication research...
Invisibility in African Displacements
African migrants have become increasingly demonised in public debate and political rhetoric. There is much speculation about the incentives and trajectories of Africans on the move, and often these speculations are implicitly or overtly geared towards discouraging and policing their movements. What is rarely understood or scrutinised however, are the intricate ways in which African migrants are marginalised and excluded from public discourse; not only in Europe but in migrant-receiving contexts across the globe. Invisibility in African Displacements offers a series of case studies that explore these dynamics. What tends to be either ignored or demonised in public debates on African migration are the deliberate strategies of avoidance or assimilation that migrants make use of to gain access to the destinations or opportunities they seek, or to remain below the radar of restrictive governance regimes. This books offers fine-grained analysis of the ways in which African migrants negotiate structural and strategic invisibilities, adding innovative approaches to our understanding of both migrant vulnerabilities and resilience.
(De)connexions identitaires hadjeray
L’histoire récente de l’Afrique se caractérise par la ‘révolution’ des technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC), plus spécifiquement la téléphonie mobile qui interroge les enjeux identitaires dans les sociétés africaines. Ce livre explore la manifestation de la dynamique des TIC dans la société hadjeray au Guera, Tchad, qui a connu violences politiques, mobilité et rupture au sein des familles et aujourd’hui ‘retrouvailles’ grâce à la téléphonie mobile et aux réseaux sociaux sur Internet. L’auteur de ce livre, lui-même issu de cette société, et conscient des risques de subjectivités de travailler sur sa propre société, est parti des f...
