  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”.

  Journalist of the European Union: Which role in policy-making process?

  IPA 2015 10th international conference in Interpretative Policy analysis – Panel n°32

  This panel aims at studying the link between the EU policy making and the media sphere. Most of the academic works dealing with media issues focus on the European Union coverage and its effects on public attitude (and votes). For example, N. GAVIN studies the role played by economic information on TV in England. C. De Vreese describes the characteristics of news about European affairs in a comparative study of the editorial policies of news organizations in Britain, Denmark, and the Netherlands. He investigates the effects of television news on public opinion formation. He questions also whether the framing of EU news benefits more to the European institutions or the citizens . The journalists’ role in policy making is less studied.

  An alternative self-representation? Ethnic minority media, between hegemony and resistances

  Colloque international organisé les 18-19 mars 2010 à la MSHS de Poitiers, par l’équipe européenne d’excellence MINORITYMEDIA (6e PCRDT / Université de Poitiers) et le laboratoire MIGRINTER (CNRS-UMR 6588). Ce colloque s’inscrit tout d’abord dans le champ des cultural studies, des subaltern studies et de la sociologie des mobilisations, par le choix de l’objet — les pratiques médiatiques culturelles minorisées — et par l’ambition analytique de montrer à la fois les résistances mais aussi les différentes formes d'adhésion des individus et groupes minorisés à l’idéologie hégémonique. Il s’inspire de l’anthropologie et de la sociologie des migrations et des rapports interethniques, par l’intérêt porté aux processus d’identification et d’altérisation à l'œuvre dans la construction permanente de l'ethnicité et ses frontières.
