  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”.

  Cinémas et territoires : dynamiques transnationales contemporaines

  Cette deuxième journée s’inscrit dans la continuité de la journée d’études « Territoires mondialisés et mondialisations déterritorialisées : dynamiques cinématographiques transnationales », qui a eu lieu les 15 et 16 mars 2018 à Toulouse. Elle se nourrit de travaux développés au sein de l’équipe de recherche Médiapolis-GRECOM du LERASS, portant sur les relations complexes entre cinéma et territoire dans un contexte d’internationalisation des industries du cinéma. Souhaitant rassembler des chercheur.e.s de parcours et d’horizons divers, l’objectif de cette journée est de poursuivre la réflexion collective sur les pratiques et processus de création, production et circulation cinématographique qui mettent en tension les relations entre espace national et réseaux transnationaux. De quelles manières peut-on rendre compte du double processus de territorialisation et de déterritorialisation à l’oeuvre dans les expériences cinématographiques contemporaines ?
