Domesticating Vigilantism in Africa
An unprecedented overview of anthropological and political science research on vigilantism in Africa which makes an important and innovative contribution to current discussions on the relationship between violent self-justice andstate and non-state agencies. Self-justice and legal self-help groups have been gaining importance throughout Africa. The question of who is entitled to formulate 'legal principles', enact 'justice', police 'morality' and sanction 'wrongdoings' has increasingly become a subject of controversy and conflict. These conflicts focus on the strained relationship between state sovereignty and citizens' self-determination. More particularly, they concern the conditions, mode...
The Aesthetics of Mandé Hunting Tradition in African Fiction
From its medieval origins to the present, Mandé culture in West Africa is known for its highly intriguing art and tradition of hunting; undeniably one of its most conspicuous distinctive features. Totally entrenched in myth, legend and history; firmly grounded in the supernatural, the divine and the abstruse, hunting is altogether a cult, a ritual gesture, a token of allegiance to divine forces. Considered to be a dauntless intrusion of man into the realm of metaphysics and the “unknown”, the hunting vocation transcends by far the confines of human and tangible spheres.

Les masques et la mosquée - L empire du Mâli XIIIe XIVe siècle
Les masques et la mosquée L'empire du Mâli (XIIIe-XIVe siècle) Que sait-on de l'empire du Mâli ? Partant d'une analyse de la notice Wikipédia consacrée à cette formation politique majeure du Moyen Âge, François-Xavier Fauvelle s'interroge sur les raisons de l'obscurité qui continue de l'entourer. Puis, patiemment, il reconstitue des savoirs modestes et solides, avant d'assembler avec virtuosité les multiples pièces, issues des textes arabes, de la tradition orale et des fouilles archéologiques, du vaste " puzzle " documentaire qu'est l'histoire du Mâli. Qu'ont Soundjata et Charlemagne en commun ? Quel rôle le fameux pèlerinage de Mûsâ à La Mecque joue-t-il dans la légitim...
