Nous arrivons à l'aéroport de Yoff. La foule est bruyante. Elle part dans des rêves de fortune. Elle propose un taxi, une carte de crédit, quelques billets tenus discrètement par des cambistes volants, une aide de manutentionnaire ou simplement un sourire de truand à l'affût. L'univers sent l'illégalité et elle a ses lois étalées au nez des policiers, gendarmes et douaniers qui semblent veiller. C'est un reflet du pays où tout est en dessous des choses visibles. Le véritable monde sénégalais est souterrain et il faut se faire tenir par la main pour y entrer.

Gives an ethnographic account of the complexities of the use of photography in Africa, both historically and in contemporary practice. This collection of studies in African photography examines, through a series of empirically rich historical and ethnographic cases, the variety of ways in which photographs are produced, circulated, and engaged across a range of social contexts. In so doing, it elucidates the distinctive characteristics of African photographic practices and cultures, vis-à-vis those of other forms of 'vernacular photography' worldwide. In addition, these studies develop areflexive turn, examining the history of academic engagement with these African photographic cultures, and reflecting on the distinctive qualities of the ethnographic method as a means for studying such phenomena. The volumecritically engages current debates in African photography and visual anthropology. First, it extends our understanding of the variety of ways in which both colonial and post-colonial states in Africa have used photography as a means for establishing, and projecting, their authority. Second, it moves discussion of African photography away from an exclusive focus on the role of the 'the studio' and looks at the circulations through which the studios' products - the photographs themselves - later pass as artefacts of material culture. Last, it makes an important contribution to our understanding of the relationship between photography and ethnographic research methods, as these have been employed in Africa.

This 1976 book provides both a historical survey and a critical analysis of the literature in French from West and Equatorial Africa. Professor Blair begins by discussing the social, educational and political influences which led to the formation of the Negritude movement and to a flowering of French-African creative writing. This historical approach is then complemented by a study of the different literary genres. She traces the evolution of the first manifestations of literary activity in French by African writers, the written folk-tale, fable and short story, from the oral tradition of the indigenous culture, and the eventual appearance of the novel with a legendary or historical theme. The origins of French-African drama are considered for the first time, and the work of the minor poets analysed. Finally, Professor Blair attempts a definition of the French-African novel, and studies examples from three major periods from the 1930s onwards.

Les "nouvelles religions" nées au Japon après la Seconde Guerre mondiale se sont exportées en Occident avec plus ou moins de succès. Les plus connues relèvent du bouddhisme et les plus rares sont issues du shinto. Sukyo Mahikari est l'une d'entre elles. Né en 1959, ce prophétisme japonais s'exporta en France dès les années 1960 avant d'essaimer sur tous les continents, notamment dans les grandes villes d'Afrique de l'Ouest au début des années 1970. Bien qu'il se définisse lui- même comme un "art spirituel" et soit qualifié de "secte" par un rapport parlementaire français, Sukyo Mahikari partage la scène religieuse contemporaine à l'instar des religions historiques ou des Eglises pentecôtistes. Cet ouvrage analyse les raisons de la réussite de l'implantation de Sukyo Mahikari en Afrique de l'Ouest et en Europe. Des fonctionnaires africains et français, peu sensibilisés à l'Extrême Orient, s'adonnent à un rituel de purification (okivome) des corps et des âmes en transmettant la Lumière du Dieu Su par la paume de la main et adoptent des préceptes issus des Enseignements en vue de restaurer le paradis sur terre. Que signifie cet engagement dans un tel mouvement religieux ? Quelles pratiques suscite-t-il ? Qu'y trouvent les adeptes ? Conservent- ils leur religion ? Comment réussit-il à s'implanter localement alors qu'il est considéré comme une "secte". L'auteure a mené une étude anthropologique au cours de laquelle elle a partagé le quotidien des vokoshi, les initiés de Sukyo Mahikari, pendant plusieurs années. Elle met en lumière à la fois les conditions socio-historiques de production de ce mouvement religieux au Japon et les conditions de réussite de son importation en contexte africain, la manière dont les adeptes élaborent des logiques symboliques pour s'initier et l'instrumentalisation des pratiques religieuses pour un recours thérapeutique. Enfin, Sukyo Mahikari travaille à la gestion d'un "mieux être" en société qui passe par la purification des espaces publics, l'éducation des jeunes pour le développement de l'Afrique, mais aussi par des pratiques environnementales visant la restauration de la Nature. Première étude de l'implantation de Sukyo Mahikari en Afrique, cet ouvrage contribue à la réflexion sur la globalisation religieuse à travers l'analyse des articulations entre le global et le local élaborées au sein d'un mouvement religieux dans un contexte d'exportation où les adeptes instrumentalisent localement le dispositif liturgique pour obtenir des bienfaits ici-et- maintenant sans en modifier la structure globale.

Deep Knowledge written by Oludamini Ogunnaike and has been published by Penn State Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2020-11-11 with Religion categories.

This book is an in-depth, comparative study of two of the most popular and influential intellectual and spiritual traditions of West Africa: Tijani Sufism and Ifa. Employing a unique methodological approach that thinks with and from—rather than merely about—these traditions, Oludamini Ogunnaike argues that they contain sophisticated epistemologies that provide practitioners with a comprehensive worldview and a way of crafting a meaningful life. Using theories belonging to the traditions themselves as well as contemporary oral and textual sources, Ogunnaike examines how both Sufism and Ifa answer the questions of what knowledge is, how it is acquired, and how it is verified. Or, more simply: What do you know? How did you come to know it? How do you know that you know? After analyzing Ifa and Sufism separately and on their own terms, the book compares them to each other and to certain features of academic theories of knowledge. By analyzing Sufism from the perspective of Ifa, Ifa from the perspective of Sufism, and the contemporary academy from the perspective of both, this book invites scholars to inhabit these seemingly “foreign” intellectual traditions as valid and viable perspectives on knowledge, metaphysics, psychology, and ritual practice. Unprecedented and innovative, Deep Knowledge makes a significant contribution to cross-cultural philosophy, African philosophy, religious studies, and Islamic studies. Its singular approach advances our understanding of the philosophical bases underlying these two African traditions and lays the groundwork for future study.
