Post-modern / post-colonial: "post" in debate
International conference on postmodern and postcolonial theories
Dans le sillage, d’un côté, de la deuxième guerre mondiale, et de l’autre, de la période des décolonisations africaines, émergent le postmoderne et le postcolonial, deux concepts qui se proposent de déconstruire respectivement les métarécits modernes de légitimation et de régulation, et les structures impériales de la domination occidentale.

African popular music: the veritable voices of the people?
Perhaps for reasons related to intellectual elitism or simply because of the lack of an effective means of analysis, African popular arts (Modern African music in particular) keep on being pushed to the margins of academic discourse on postcolonial cultural identities. To this day and more than not, in classroom discussions on African culture(s), a place of pride is ascribed to literature (at films at times) despite the high rate of illiteracy and difficulty distributing them, which makes these products utterly inaccessible to the masses. That African writers like Ngugi (Kenya) and Boubacar Boris Diop (Senegal) decide to take their leave from colonial languages on behalf on “penning” their stories in African languages is sometimes hailed as an exceptional way towards cultural affirmation and identity recalibration. In terms of their production and consumption, however, popular musical forms have an absolute impact on African populations. These forms are transfigurations of the people’s daily life experience in that they bring together and crystallize the identities of the musical forms in question more than any other artistic expression.

Perspectives on reconciliation in sub-Saharan Africa
Revue Les Lignes de Bouaké-La-Neuve
Les efforts de reconstruction de la cohésion sociale après les conflits et les guerres civiles en Afrique empruntent les voies de commissions ou de comités de réconciliation nationale. Ces modèles de pacification sont l’objet d’évaluations aussi diverses que divergentes, mais toujours utiles au perfectionnement des trajectoires de réconciliation choisies. C’est pour participer à ce travail d’amélioration des paradigmes éthico-épistémologiques que la revue Les Lignes de Bouaké-La-Neuve ouvre une lucarne à travers le présent appel à contribution afin de questionner les images éclatées de la réconciliation.
