Book Description
All over Africa, an explosion in cultural productions of various genres is in evidence. Whether in relation to music, song and dance, drama, poetry, film, documentaries, photography, cartoons, fine arts, novels and short stories, essays, and (auto)biography; the continent is experiencing a robust outpouring of creative power that is as remarkable for its originality as its all-round diversity. Beginning from the late 1970s and early 1980s, the African continent has experienced the longest and deepest economic crises than at any other time since the period after the Second World War. Interestingly however, while practically every indicator of economic development was declining in nominal and/ or real terms for most aspects of the continent, cultural productions were on the increase. Out of adversity, the creative genius of the African produced cultural forms that at once spoke to crises and sought to transcend them. The current climate of cultural pluralism that has been produced in no small part by globalization has not been accompanied by an adequate pluralism of ideas on what culture is, and/or should be; nor informed by an equal claim to the production of the cultural - packaged or not. Globalization has seen to movement and mixture, contact and linkage, interaction and exchange where cultural flows of capital, people, commodities, images and ideologies have meant that the globe has become a space, with new asymmetries, for an increasing intertwinement of the lives of people and, consequently, of a greater blurring of normative definitions as well as a place for re-definition, imagined and real. As this book - Contemporary African Cultural Productions - has done, researching into African culture and cultural productions that derive from it allows us, among other things, to enquire into definitions, explore historical dimensions, and interrogate the political dimensions to presentation and representation. The book therefore offers us an intervention that goes beyond the normative literary and cultural studies' main foci of race, difference and identity; notions which, while important in themselves might, without the necessary historicizing and interrogating, result in a discourse that rather re-inscribes the very patterns that necessitate writing against. This book is an invaluable compendium to scholars, researchers, teachers, students and others who specialize on different aspects of African culture and cultural productions, as well as cultural centers and general readers.

Book Description
Religion in today’s Democratic Republic of Congo has many faces: from the overflowing seminaries and Marian shrines of the Catholic Church to the Islamic brotherhoods, from the healers of Kimban-guism to the televangelism of the booming Pentecostalist churches in the great cities, from the Orthodox communities of Kasai to the ‘invisible’ Mai Mai warriors in the brousse of Kivu. During the colonial period religion was no less central to people’s lives than it is today. More surprisingly, behind the seemingly smooth facade of missions linked closely to imperial power, faith and worship were already marked by diversity and dynamism, tying the Congo into broader African and global movements. The contributions in this book provide insight into the multifaceted history of the interaction between religion and colonization. The authors outline the institutional political framework, and focus on the challenge that old and new forms of slavery entailed for the missions. The atrocities committed at the time of the Congo Free State became an existential question for young Christian communities. In the Belgian Congo after 1908, more structural forms of colonial violence remained a key issue marking religious experiences. And yet, religion also acted as a bridge. The authors emphasize the role intermediaries such as catechists or medical assistants played in the African “appropriation” of Christianity. They examine the complex interaction with indigenous religious beliefs and practices, and zoom in on the part religions played in the independence movement, as well as on their reaction to independence itself. Coming at a moment when Belgium confronts its colonial past, this volume provides a timely reassessment of religion as a key factor.

Book Description
Quelles sont les causes de l'échec du panafricanisme sur le sol africain ? Comment s'exprime et agit l'intellectualité de la musique africaine sur la thématique géopolitique du panafricanisme ? Quelle alternative la musique de variétés africaine offre-t-elle au projet panafricaniste d'Addis-Abeba dans le contexte actuel de la mondialisation? C'est à partir de ces questionnements que nous allons bâ. [...] Échec du panafricanisme Comme le conclut si bien Mwayila, c'est sur fond de cette divergence idéologique sur le panafricanisme que naît en 1963 l'OUA, dont le bilan est globalement négatif au regard des objectifs prévus, notamment à l'article 2 de sa charte fondatrice : le renforcement de la solidarité entre États et de la coordina- tion a buté sur l'échec du plan de Lagos (1980) et de la Communau. [...] Au sens idéologique comme au sens sociologique, il existe une pratique intellec- tuelle dans la profession de la chanson, à travers la représentation littéraire et artisti- que de la réalité sociale, en travaillant avec les mots, avec l'écrit (texte de chansons dans le livret de CD), avec l'image (photos de livret ou de pochette, vidéoclips), en symbolisant le réel par ces différents langages, et. [...] Conclusion : refonder le panafricanisme par l'intelligence de la musique populaire Sous forme de leçon de la leçon, notre conclusion a l'ambition de souligner que par son aspect réflexif, critique et révolutionnaire sur la société, la musique africaine (de variétés et du showbiz) engagée est une intelligence symbolique et géopolitique qui devrait éclairer l'Afrique sur la voie de la reconstruction. [...] Et de août 1996 à août 2003, les thématiques des quatre éditions déjà organisées par le Fespam en sont très éloquentes, à savoir « La musique au service de la paix et du développement » ; « La musique dans la construction de l'unité nationale et de la paix » ; « Mille tambours à l'unisson pour une Afrique sans frontières » ; et « Itinéraires et convergences des musiques traditionnelles et modernes.
Book Description
Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.
