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”.

War as contact zone in the nineteenth century
We now know more than ever before about the multilayered webs of entanglement that connect army and society, as well as the way in which soldiers and civilians experience violence. Work in this vein has shown that instead of being an exceptional state, war has been implicated in some of history’s most far-reaching changes, such as the evolution of the modern idea of citizenship.

Archives, the Digital Turn and Governance in Africa
“History in Africa” Journal
This featured section of History in Africa will address the wave of digitisation of archives in Africa over the last fifteen years. With the rise of information technologies, an increasing part of public – and to some extent private - African archives are being digitised and made accessible on the internet. This wave of digitisation is usually seen as a progress with the help of ambitious initiatives applying new technologies to cultural heritage of humanity such as the rescue of the manuscripts of Timbuktu or the Endangered Archives programme at the British Library. Yet as much as these new technologies raise enthusiasm, they also prompt discussions amongst researchers and archivists, which go from intellectual property to sovereignty and governance.

UDPN seminar (the uses of digitised heritage) (2016/17)
Au cours de cette deuxième session du séminaire annuel du réseau Usages des patrimoines numérisés, les séances seront organisées dans un souci de développer des approches qui puissent être utiles dans une perspective d’initiation et de formation aux pratiques des humanités numériques et aux questionnements épistémologiques et méthodologiques non seulement auprès des doctorants et chercheurs mais aussi auprès de professionnels du patrimoine. Il s’agit d’envisager différents types de matériaux, de méthodes et de démarches au travers d’expérimentations et de réalisations techniques et pratiques issus des projets UDPN afin d’envisager leur prolongement et extension.

Repetition/s: Performance and Philosophy in Ljubljana
Contemporary developments in the increasingly intertwined fields of philosophy and performance call for a renewed inquiry into the question of repetition. With its unique critique of ideology arising from a synthesis of German Idealism and Lacanian psychoanalysis, the Ljubljana School (Dolar, Zupančič, Žižek et al.) continues to furnish important theorisations of repetition and performance as they pertain to subjectivity and the political. One of the primary aims of “Repetition/s” will be to investigate and develop the usefulness of the Ljubljana School’s theorisations for the emerging field of Performance Philosophy.

The archives and history of communism
ANR PAPRIK@2F : Portail Archives Politiques Recherches Indexation Komintern et Fonds français seminar
Le projet PAPRIK@2F (Portail Archives Politiques Recherches Indexation Komintern et Fonds français), dans le cadre de l’ANR CORPUS, vise à développer un programme de recherche permettant de mieux connaître le phénomène communiste dans ses dimensions française et internationale. Ce projet est porté conjointement par la Maison des Sciences de l’Homme de Dijon et par les Archives nationales. Le projet Parpik@2F porte sur le premier XXe siècle (1917-1947) et vise à la réalisation d’un corpus archivistique accessible au moyen d’un portail cohérent, unique et clair permettant de centraliser l’information en offrant une lisibilité plus grande des archives. Il s’agira également d’offrir aux chercheurs français et étrangers, ainsi qu’à un public plus large un outil performant au service d’une meilleure compréhension du phénomène communiste et au-delà, de l’histoire politique et sociale française du XXe siècle.

Dizionario di eretici, dissidenti e inquisitori
Ereticopedia
Ereticopedia si fonda sull'idea-base è di costruire un dizionario on line di personaggi e movimenti che si sono opposti alla "norma", rivendicando il diritto alla libertà personale, di pensiero, di espressione, di azione, il diritto al dissenso e il primato della coscienza individuale su regole, dottrine e rituali di comportamento imposti dall'alto ovvero comunemente accettati dalle società in cui ebbero la sorte di vivere. Cioè che hanno scelto di esercitare (con coraggio e spesso al prezzo della propria vita) diritti che dovrebbero costituire la base della nostra attuale società, che spesso si proclama figlia dei valori illuministici, ma appartenenti anche alla più autentica tradizione cristiana, di tolleranza e rispetto della dignità della persona.

Net Powers. Freedom and Control in the age of the web
« Poteri nella rete. Libertà e controllo dell’informazione nell’era di Internet ». Nel seminario Enrico Pedemonte e Glauco Benigni dialogano con Teresa Numerico e Domenico Fiormonte. L’incontro, aperto a tutti, è l’occasione per riflettere sulle contraddittorie tendenze dell’informazione e del giornalismo in rete, sempre più in bilico fra entusiasmi libertari e politiche securitarie. I due invitati, entrambi scrittori e giornalisti per testate come Repubblica e L’Espresso, offrono nelle loro recenti pubblicazioni prospettive diverse e originali sull’evoluzione del quarto potere in rete. -
International perspectives on network neutrality
Global Media Journal, Canadian edition
L’idée de la « neutralité de réseau » est devenue une des préoccupations politiques dominantes pour les législateurs, les industries de télécommunication, les réformateurs de média et les chercheurs en communication. En bref, la neutralité est l’idée que les fournisseurs de service Internet doivent offrir une interconnexion égale parmi les fournisseurs de contenu et les utilisateurs du réseau, de sorte que ceux qui contrôlent l'accès au réseau ne censurent pas le contenu licite ou n’imposent pas un cheminement discriminatoire du contenu. Le résultat de ce débat a des répercussions importantes sur la nature démocratique participative d’Internet, sur la circulation libre de l’information et de la parole, sur les droits à la vie privée des utilisateurs, sur la gouvernance d’Internet, sur l’efficacité des médias indépendantes et la participation politique, ainsi que sur la vivacité continue des bibliothèques et des systèmes éducationnels. Ceci étant dit, la neutralité de réseau serait peut-être l’enjeu principal des politiques de télécommunication au XXIe siècle.
