La vie sociale de la connectivité en AfriqueSous la direction de  Mirjam de Bruijn et Rijk van Dijk Dans cette ère des nouvelles technologies de l'information et de la communication, permettant l'interconnexion, il est devenu crucial de comprendre les transformations sociales en Afrique à travers les connexions. Le continent africain est arrivé maintenant à cette époque, qu’on appelle, l’époque de la «post-mondialisation», où les connexions ont transformé la globalité en quelque chose de "banal"  aussi bien Afrique qu'ailleurs. Pourtant, un modèle pour comprendre les transformations sociales dans la perspective de la vie sociale de connexions fait encore défaut. Notant que la nature de la connexion est souvent négligée dans la théorie sociale, les études présentées dans ce volume explorent comment la connectivité continue à changer l'Afrique et comment l'Afrique continue de façonner la vie sociale des connexions.Palgrave Macmillan, December 2012ISBN: 978-1-137-27801-2, ISBN10: 1-137-27801-3,5.500 x 8.500 inches, 312 pages, Includes: 13 pgs illus&#160;The social life of connectivity in AfricaEdited By Mirjam de Bruijn and Rijk van DijkIn an age of new technologies of connections, understanding social transformations in Africa through connections has become pivotal. Africa has now arrived at a juncture, referred to as a 'post-global' moment, where connections have turned the global to a normalcy in Africa and elsewhere. Yet a model to understand social transformations from the perspective of the social life of connections is still lacking. Noting that the nature of the connection is often overlooked in social theory, the studies outlined in this volume explore how connectedness continues to change Africa and how Africa continues to shape the social life of connections.Palgrave Macmillan, December 2012ISBN: 978-1-137-27801-2, ISBN10: 1-137-27801-3,5.500 x 8.500 inches, 312 pages, Includes: 13 pgs illusMirjam de Bruijn is a professor at Leiden University in the study of Modern Africa and researcher at the African Studies Centre in Leiden, the Netherlands.Rijk van Dijk is an anthropologist and senior researcher working at the African Studies Centre, Leiden, the Netherlands.&#160; Table of contentsConnectivity and the Post-Global Moment: (Dis-)Connections and Social Change in Africa; Mi.de Bruijn &#38; R.van DijkFlows and Forces: Once Contained, Now Detained?: On Connections Past and Present in Rwanda; D.de Lame Research Practice in Connections: Travels and Methods; M.de Bruijn &#38; I.BrinkmanPatriarchy Turned Upside Down: The Flight of the Royal Women of Kom, Cameroon from 1920 to the 1960s; W.G.NkwiBeyond the Last Frontier: Major Trollope and the Eastern Caprivi Zipfel; J-B.GewaldThe 'Victorian Internet' Reaches Halfway to Cairo: Cape Tanganyika Telegraphs, 1875-1926; N.ParsonsMarriages and Mobility in Akan Societies: Disconnections and Connections over Time and Space; A.BochowA Ritual Connection: Urban Youth Marrying in the Village in Botswana; R.van DijkConnecting Communities and Business: Public-Private Partnerships as the Panacea for LandReform in Limpopo Province, South Africa; M.Spierenburg, B.Cousins, A.Bos &#38; L.NtsholoConnectivities Compared: Transnational Islamic NGOs in Chad and Senegal; M.KaagLove Therapy: A Brazilian Pentecostal (Dis)Conne0.ction in Maputo; L.van de KampAjala Travel: Mobility and Connections as Forms of Social Capital in Nigerian Society; O.Obono &#38; K.ObonoConnecting 'Ourselves': A Dogon Ethnic Association and the Impact of Connectivity; W.E.A.van BeekIntimate Strangers: Connecting Fiction and Ethnography; F.B.Nyamnjoh
