  Migration via the sea or desert: recourse to religious figures in the migratory dynamics of Africa

  This conference intends broadly speaking, to open a scientific dialogue to discuss the place of the religious in the migratory dynamics. The conference anchoring point is the illegal migration from Africa towards Europe and Middle East. But proposals dealing with the link between religious and all other forms of human mobility within the African continental space or from it to other destinations could be examined according to their relevance. Four areas of reflection, non-exclusive, are suggested to shape the discussions: 1) Faith, beliefs and religious practices in the development / maturation of the migration project; 2) Socioeconomic uses and magico-religious experience on migration paths; 3) Religion and migratory networks; 4) Religious treatment of the migration issue.

  The utopia of globalised culture and the reality of local communication practices

  Communication and digital technology in Francophone sub-Saharan Africa

  The imaginary world surrounding digital communication seems to impose a vision that crushes cultural diversity. The Symposium aims to jointly explore the heterogeneity of uses, productions and issues raised by the meeting of globalised technology that is often Western-centred, with various cultures. The first edition will focus on Francophone sub-Saharan Africa, a multicultural territory where contemporary geopolitical contexts pose particularly vital issues for communications research. These issues are of interest mainly to the information and communication sciences community, but the contributions of researchers from various cultural and disciplinary horizons will make it possible to tackle this very broad problem of communication, especially digital, in sensitive areas, according to different complementary approaches.

  The sea: paradoxes, challenges and challenges for the Gulf of Guinea states in the 21st century

  The Gulf of Guinea is a region where in its evolution, the sea has become increasingly important and the maritime issues find all their illustrations. The legal aspect finds the economic one, and meets geopolitics. The issue of safety at sea is visible. The sea is, in this region of the world, a place of cooperation and belligerence, of encounter but also of greed and separation. It is a very rich maritime area, but one that fails to generate prosperous states. The book project aims to elicit a plural reading on a transdisciplinary construction of the Gulf of Guinea sea. Through an opening, it challenges many fields for national, sub-regional or even international issues. He therefore encourages social scientists, lawyers, economists, political scientists, environmentalists, etc. to submit original contributions.

Les questions spécifiques sur la cyber-sécurité, le bioterrorisme, le trafic de stupéfiants, les mouvements migratoires et la traite des êtres humains seront abordées.

  Mining basins and the problematics of social, economic and territorial development

  The realities of the Maghreb and West Africa

  L’Afrique est connue par la richesse minière de son sous-sol. Elle représente environ 30 %des réserves mondiales de matières premières minérales non énergétiques (bauxite, cuivre, cobalt, chromite, etc.) et produit près de 60 minerais et métaux. Le continent abrite plus de 40% des réserves aurifères (Or) et entre 80% et 90% du chrome et du platine et des réserves très importantes de divers minerais (diamant, cobalt, uranium, fer, etc.). Sur le plan économique, la demande mondiale et les prix des minéraux et des métaux ont connu une forte croissance fluctuante depuis 2007 ; de même pour les investissements et l’exploration minière en Afrique, un constat qui a conduit vers une forte croissance de l’industrie minière. Cette croissance est-elle bénéfique au développement socioéconomique des pays africains ?
