  Global Congo - the aesthetics and politics of world literature

  Esthétiques et politiques d'une littérature mondiale

  In this symposium, we suggest thinking of the Congo as a literary center. First, for the writers of the diaspora: be they in Brussels, in Graz or in Louisiana, the Congo seems to function as a pole of attraction, both textually and physically. A great number of languages intertwine (Chinese is one of them), and contemporary literature attests this cultural richness. Richard Ali A Mutu, for example, writes in Lingala and is translated into English ; Jean Bofane and Fiston Mujila write in French, but their novels are translated in a dozen languages ; JJ Bola writes in English. How does this linguistic parameter influence their writings? How do the writers consider the European languages and the local languages (Lingala, Ciluba, Swahili) ? Is the choice of a language the consequence of a political commitment, or does it emerge from the observation of the plurilingual character of the Congolese society? Moreover, approaching the Congolese literary space in a World Literature perspective requires us to broaden the very notion of “literature”.

  Ethiopian Studies and Digital Humanities: tools and projects

  Beta maṣāḥəft, Ethiopian Manuscript Archives, EthioMap

  The objective of this workshop is to create the conditions for the emergence of a scientific community using digital collaborative tools within Ethiopian studies. There is no need to recall the scientific and technological context in which we live to understand the importance and challenges of this methodological revolution. Many initiatives have emerged over the past two decades, both in terms of the availability of digitized documentation and the tools to use it. After the first experiments, interoperability and sharing have become the key words, and Ethiopian studies must respond to these good practices.

  Information and communication technologies in West-African transport and exchanges

  Les technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC) participent à la révolution numérique qui bouleverse les relations humaines, les échanges commerciaux et les rapports politiques. Elles contribuent à modifier les configurations territoriales et les relations entre les personnes qui y vivent : leurs apllications sont multiples. Contrairement aux préjugés longtemps véhiculés, la révolution numérique est bien en marche en Afrique au Sud du Sahara. Le numérique est donc perçu comme un instrument de développement, de fluidité logistique et d'aménagement des territoires. Cette troisième édition du colloque international Marport ambitionne de poser les questions liées à la diffusion généralisée de l'économie digitale dans le secteur de la logistique.
