Le continent noir n’existe pas. Il est une Afrodystopie créée par le rêve d’Autrui. Du rêve colonial du premier président gabonais, Léon Mba, de faire de son pays un département français, au mea culpa postcolonial de son successeur, Omar Bongo Ondimba, en passant par l’utopie mobutiste de l’« authenticité » ; du blockbuster Black Panther, institué en paradigme afrofuturiste de la puissance africaine, à la régulation de la vie sociale et politique africaine par la Mort, cet essai met au jour le paradigme de la vie humaine entrée dans le rêve des abstractions et des choses, celles de l’Argent, de la Marchandise, de l’État, du Corps-sexe, de la Jouissance, devenues dans le monde capitaliste des « puissances mystiques » qui agissent comme des dispositifs d’éblouissement des imaginaires sociaux africains. Dépassant les critiques classiques de l’impérialisme et du néocolonialisme, les théories de la dépendance et les études postcoloniales, cet ouvrage analyse ce rêve afrodystopique dans lequel sont plongées les sociétés africaines et afrodescendantes. À la différence des dystopies littéraires, cette chimère n’est pas une projection dans le futur, mais une composante bien réelle de la violence des imaginaires colonialistes et impérialistes qui structure l’inconscient des rapports de l’Occident aux mondes africains, mais aussi les rapports des États africains à leurs propres citoyens. Avec le concept d’Afrodystopie, Joseph Tonda propose une nouvelle manière de penser les relations entre dominants et dominés à l’ère du capitalisme globalisé.

Safaris, baobabs, tam-tam, artisanat d’art, exploitation des ressources naturelles, fièvres hémorragiques, sous-développement, corruption, nouvelles technologies, indépendances, créativité…, les images véhiculées sur l’Afrique sont foisonnantes et relèvent de registres aussi clivés, imaginés, élaborés par des regards extérieurs au continent que remaniés par ses habitants, ignorés ou combattus par les producteurs d’images issus de l’Afrique et de ses diasporas. Cet ouvrage propose une réflexion sur les multiples tensions contenues dans les images lorsqu’elles sont produites sur l’Afrique et en Afrique. Grâce à une approche inter-transdisciplinaire empruntée par des chercheurs en sciences sociales et en arts, sont révélées les complexités de la construction de ces images aux frontières de l’intime, de l’art et du politique. Il y a matière à penser l’image en tant que réceptacle productif des histoires nationales et ethniques au cœur des projections individuelles de soi et des autres afin de progresser dans la compréhension des soubassements du vivre-ensemble dans les sociétés africaines contemporaines.

In this book, it is argued that narratives about Satanism, which have become popular in the Christian context of Zambia from the 1990s onwards, make cultural sense because of their links to traditional African notions as well as contemporary Christian theologies. These narratives also resonate with unease regarding the cultural change, which is connected by Zambians to modernity. Narratives about Satanism further make personal sense to their narrators, the pastors who provide a platform for them, and their audiences. These arguments contribute to the academic study of religion in Africa, in particular of African Christianity and of witchcraft-related phenomena, as well as to the global study of discourses on Satanism and other conspiracy theories. All of these disciplines are related to the topic of Satanism in Zambia, but the phenomenon itself has not been discussed at length, which makes the existing academic literature incomplete and inadequate. The comprehensive focus on the case of narratives about Satanism in Zambia offers new insights and enhances current theoretical reflection. The research presented in this book is original, carried out during fieldwork spanning from 2012 to 2017 in Zambia and literature study in the years after that. Methodologically, the research is based on participant observation in churches in which testimonies of ex-Satanists were presented, as well as participation in the Fingers of Thomas, a Roman Catholic group which investigates rumours about Satanism. Furthermore, it is based on interviews with pastors and students of theology active in the deliverance ministry from Pentecostal as well as mainline churches and also on interviews with people who have had experiences of Satanism. Finally, the research is based on an analysis of collected testimonies of ex-Satanists as they were presented in these interviews, in churches, on radio programmes, in newspapers and in other sources.

La préhension de la science-fiction en terres africaines ne va pas de soi. D'aucuns en relèvent la spécificité incongrue, allant jusqu'à l'assimiler à un ovni. Pour d'autres, apologistes de l'argument de sa contextualisation, elle revêt une particularité originale. Il émerge, dans toutes les études de ce volume, que la science-fiction se déploie chez les auteurs à travers une esthétique unique en rapport avec les logiques d'appréhension, plutôt dynamistes, de la science en Afrique. Si des récits de la science-fiction africaine ne dérogent pas à la règle poïétique prescrivant qu'en science-fiction l'élément technoscientifique soit le moteur de l'action, dans d'autres, assez importants, à défaut d'être totalement absente, la science y occupe qu'une portion congrue. Ainsi, comment comprendre cette paucité d'éléments de la science moderne (empirique) dans ces récits ? Tel est le noeud de ce livre où l'alliage du matériel et de l'immatériel est décrypté au moyen d'outils d'analyse spécifiques.

Given the circularity of the witchcraft complex in Africa, given its performative potential, isn’t the flood of anthropological publications on the topic counter-productive insofar as it feeds what it pretends to analyse, and even stigmatize? Wouldn’t the social scientists be well advised not to emulate the media and the Evangelical preachers and to avoid bestowing on Africa the dubious privilege of being no more than a shadow theatre devoid of substance on the stage of which everything – power, work, production, economy, the family – would actually be played in the occult? In this publication, eight scholars – namely: Jean-Pierre Warnier, Didier Péclard, Julien Bonhomme, Patrice Yengo, Jane Guyer, Joseph Tonda, Francis Nyamnjoh and Peter Geschiere – engage in a lively and contradictory debate on witchcraft/sorcery in Africa in a controversial historical context.

The history of slavery, colonization, subjugation, gratuitous violence, and the denial of basic human rights to people of African descent has led Afro-Pessimists to look at black existence through the lens of white supremacy and anti-blackness. Against this trend, Black Existential Freedom argues that Blackness is not inherently synonymous with victimhood. Rather, it is inextricable from existential freedom and the struggle for political liberation. This book presents an existential analysis of continental and diasporic African experiences through critical interpretations of music, film, and fiction that portray what it means to be human— to persevere in the tension between life and physical, psychological, and social death—for the sake of freedom. With its transdisciplinary perspective and convergence of Africana existential philosophy, African-American Studies, Afro-French Studies, Diaspora Studies, and African studies, this book is not concerned with disciplinary boundaries or certain appropriations of European metaphysics that are committed to a reading of black “non-being.” Black Existential Freedom explores the continuities and discontinuities of black existence and the manifestations and the meanings of blackness within different countries, time periods, and social and political contexts. Etoke's book empowers the reader to understand and process the complexities of racialized identity in a globalized contemporary society. Ultimately, it is an ode to human survival and freedom.

Central to the Jensen Memorial Lectures 2023 is an invitation to take incompleteness seriously in how we imagine, relate to and seek to understand a world in perpetual motion. Despite our instinct for and obsession with completeness, we are constantly reminded that the sooner one recognises and provides for incompleteness and the conviviality it inspires as the normal way of being, the better we are for it. Fluidity, compositeness and the capacity to be present in multiple places and forms simultaneously in whole or in fragments are core characteristics of reality and ontology of incompleteness. How would we frame our curiosities and conversations about processes, relationships and phenomena with an understanding of the universality of incompleteness and mobility? West and Central Africa, for example, are regions where it is commonplace to embrace and celebrate incompleteness in nature, the suprasensory, human beings, human actions, human inventions and human achievements. The lectures indicate how we could draw inspiration in this regard to inform current clamours for decolonisation and the growing ambivalence about rapid advances in digital technologies (artificial intelligence (AI) in particular), as well as with twenty-first century concerns about migrants and strangers knocking at the doors of opportunities we feel more entitled to as bona fide citizens and insiders. The lectures draw on the writings of Amos Tutuola as well as from popular ideas of personhood and agency in Africa, to make a case for sidestepped and silenced traditions of knowledge. They highlight Africa’s possibilities, prospects and emergent capacities for being and becoming in tune with the continent’s creativity and imagination. They speak to the nimble-footed flexible-minded frontier African at the crossroads and junctions of myriad encounters, facilitating creative conversations and challenging regressive logics of exclusionary claims and articulation of identities and achievements. The traditions of knowledge discussed in these lectures do not only speak to Africans, but to the world, as the philosophies explored have universal application. “The crucial anthropological question of relationality and othering is at the heart of this original and enlightening book. Nyamnjoh cautions the missionaries of decoloniality against the risk of substituting one illusion of completeness with another. For him, incompleteness is the basis of any healthy exchange. He therefore recommends embracing the universality of incompleteness in motion and taking seriously an ancestral tradition of self-extension through creative imagination in this anxious age of artificial intelligence. Forcefully argued and abundantly substantiated – with finesse and laughter that run through it – this book will be a milestone by making us rediscover the demands and the magic of fieldwork.” Prof. Dr. Mamadou Diawara, Goethe University, Frankfurt/Main Frobenius-Institut, Frankfurt/Main Point Sud, Bamako, Mali

Hunting stories will usually glorify the hunters, since it is the hunters who write the stories. In this book, Dénètem Touam Bona takes up the perspective of the hunted, using the concept of marronage to highlight the lives and creativity of colonized and subjugated peoples. In a format that blends travel diary, anthropological inquiry, and philosophical and literary reflection, he narrates the hidden history of fugues – those of the runaway slave, the deserting soldier, the clandestine migrant, and all those who challenged norms and forms of control. In the space of the fugue, in the folds and retreats of dense and muggy woods, runaway countercultures appeared and spread out, cultures whose organization and values were diametrically opposed to those of colonial societies. Marronage, the art of disappearance, has never been a more timely topic: thwarting surveillance, profiling, and tracking by the police and by corporations; disappearing from databases; extending the forest’s shadow by the click of a key. In our cyberconnected world, where control of individuals in real time is increasingly becoming the norm, we need to reinvent marronage and recognize the maroon as a universal figure of resistance. Beyond its critical dimension, this book calls for a cosmo-poetics of refuge and aims at rehabilitating the power of dreams and poetry to ward off the confinement of minds and bodies.
