Amílcar Cabral: The “Anonymous Fighter” for the Mankind Fundamental Freedoms
In 1971, Amílcar Cabral presented himself in the United Nations (UN) as an “anonymous fighter” engaged in the struggle for the fundamental freedoms of the populations of Guinea and Cape Verde, as well as of all mankind. Such affirmation was not casual, since Cabral adopted the status of “anonymous fighter” in other circumstances, arguing that he was struggling for the human dignity, progress and happiness. The main goal of the conference is to bring together academics studying Cabral trajectory, institutions involved in preserving his memory and personalities which became acquainted with him.

Electing a head of state in West Africa
En Afrique de l’ouest, plusieurs faits politiques passent inaperçus sans une réflexion approfondie. Les journalistes médiatisent les faits politiques mais les commentaires ne puissent donner lieu à une analyse du spécialiste des sciences sociales. Conscient de cela, le Centre d’études sociologiques et de science politique (CESPo) de l’université d’Abomey-Calavi (UAC) entend relever le défi à travers une série de publications sur les comportements politiques en Afrique de l’ouest. Le premier projet de publications est consacré à l’élection d’un chef d’État en Afrique de l’ouest avec pour études de cas spécifiques, les élections présidentielles du Burkina Faso de décembre 2015, du Bénin et du Niger de février 2016. Toutefois, l’appel à contributions est ouvert aux autres pays francophones ouest africains.

Democratic Aspirations and “Authoritarian Democracies” in Central Africa
This issue will endeavor to illustrate the strategies of the different players and forces that support or oppose these democratic aspirations, by combining various fieldwork approaches across countries. It is obvious that these democratic aspirations are not only related to politics or to regional and international geopolitics; they correspond to ethical standards and refer to a value system that appears to go beyond pre-existing factions and divides.

Miscellaneous information - Ethnology, anthropology
Mémoire promise, tourné en 2012, entre les villes de Ouidah, ancien comptoir et port négrier, et Abomey, ancienne capitale du royaume esclavagiste du Danhomé, se veut la chronique de la quête de deux mémoires qui se cherchent, se croisent, font corps et se séparent sans cesse : celle de la traite transatlantique et celle des cultes dits vodun.
