  Knowledge, experiences and protocols in voluntary pregnancy termination in Gabon, Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea

  L’objet de ce colloque vise essentiellement à connaître les savoirs, les itinéraires et les protocoles dont la finalité est l’interruption volontaire de grossesse (IVG). Cela, pour prendre en compte leurs conséquences médicales, sociales, psychologiques, économiques, politiques, juridiques et culturelles, etc. Sachant que l’interruption volontaire de grossesse ou avortement donne lieu à de nombreuses controverses quant à l’adoption de textes législatifs et/ou d’arrêts de justice, il est demandé aux participants de réfléchir sur l’impact de cette pratique et des décisions publiques prises dans les cadres législatifs, politiques et culturelles, traditionnels et modernes afin d’organiser ou d’interdire l’IVG. Il s’agira donc de se prononcer sur l’identité de cette pratique au Gabon, au Cameroun et en Guinée-Equatoriale, aux fins d’en extraire les spécificités, les caractéristiques et les conséquences fondamentales dont les États pourraient se servir dans le cadre de leur organisation.

  Artistic, Digital, and Political Creation in English-Speaking African Countries

  Africa 2020

  French President Emmanuel Macron announced on 3rd July 2018 in Lagos that a Special Season would be organized in France, from June to December 2020, to mark a renewed partnership with Africa, a “varied, strong and diverse continent that will play a part in our shared future”. Even if this cultural focus cannot be abstracted from a broader geopolitical agenda marred by controversial presidential declarations, it nevertheless has the potential to offer a somewhat different coverage of the continent. One can only hope that it avoids the temptation to officially “curate into being” “exceptional” artists (Dovey), tapping into the all-too-familiar image of Africa as “the supreme receptacle of the West’s obsession with, and circular discourse about, the facts of ‘absence,’ ‘lack,’ and ‘non-being,’ of identity and difference” (Mbembe).

  Africa 2020: Artistic, digital, and political creation in english-speaking African countries

  French President Emmanuel Macron announced on 3rd July 2018 in Lagos that a Special Season would be organized in France, from June to December 2020, to mark a renewed partnership with Africa, a “varied, strong and diverse continent that will play a part in our shared future”. The peer-reviewed journal of Aix-Marseille Université research centre on Anglophone Studies (LERMA), E-rea, has decided to seize the opportunity of Africa 2020 to dedicate a special issue to contemporary artistic, digital, and political creation in English-speaking African countries. Heeding Kenyan political analyst Nanjala Nyabola’s advice to eschew the too reductive ‘Africa rising’ and ‘Africa failing’ narratives in favour of ‘Africa being’ stories, this special issue wishes to focus on “stories reflecting the ambivalence, complexity, challenges and opportunities of African societ[ies] in an increasingly connected world”.
