  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).

  Études éthiopiennes et humanités numériques : outils et projets

  Beta maṣāḥəft, Ethiopian Manuscript Archives, EthioMap

  L’objectif de cet atelier est de créer les conditions d’émergence d’une communauté scientifique utilisant les outils collaboratifs numériques au sein des études éthiopiennes. Il n’est pas besoin de rappeler le contexte scientifique et technologique qui est le nôtre pour comprendre l’importance et les enjeux de cette révolution méthodologique. De nombreuses initiatives ont  vu le jour depuis deux décennies, aussi bien en ce qui concerne la mise à disposition de documentation numérisée que d’outils permettant d’utiliser cette documentation. Après les premières expérimentations, l’interopérabilité et la mutualisation sont devenues les maîtres mots, et les études éthiopiennes se doivent de répondre à ces bonnes pratiques.

  Postes de doctorant·e·s pour le projet de recherche “Gangs, Gangsters, and Ganglands: Towards a Global Comparative Ethnography” (GANGS)

  The project “Gangs, Gangsters, and Ganglands: Towards a Global Comparative Ethnography” (GANGS) aims to develop a systematic comparative investigation of global gang dynamics, to better understand why they emerge, how they evolve over time, whether they are associated with particular urban configurations, how and why individuals join gangs, and what impact this has on their potential futures. It draws on ethnographic research carried out in Nicaragua, South Africa, and France, adopting an explicitly tripartite focus on “Gangs”, “Gangsters”, and “Ganglands” in order to better explore the interplay between group, individual, and contextual factors. The first will consider the organisational dynamics of gangs, the second will focus on individual gang members and their trajectories before, during, and after their involvement in a gang, while the third will reflect on the contexts within which gangs emerge and evolve.
