The two authors note that, while oil contributed to civil war in the Republic of Congo, this conflict would never have arisen in the first place had democratization not generated substantial political instability. Once the fighting began, moreover, petroleum&#8217;s overall effect was ambiguous. Oil tempted elites to fight, but the oil fields&#8217; remote location also limited most combat to the capital city. Later, oil money helped underwrite a 1999 peace settlement. Despite polarization among Congo&#8217;s three main ethnoregional groups, the country did not fracture into ethnic, secessionist, or warlord zones. Thus, the case of Congo-Brazzaville requires a qualification of the prevailing theories linking natural primary commodities and civil war.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>(*) Names listed in the GRAF Directory \/ Noms figurant \u00e0 l&#8217;annuaire du GRAF<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong># Romuald Tchibozo (*)<\/strong> a soutenu \u00e0 Berlin sa th\u00e8se en Histoire de l&#8217;art africain contemporain, intitul\u00e9e <strong><em>&#8220;L&#8217;Art et l&#8217;Arbitraire: Une \u00e9tude de la r\u00e9ception de l&#8217;art africain contemporain en Occident: le cas allemand de 1950 \u00e0 nos jours&#8221;<\/em><\/strong>, pour laquelle il cherche \u00e0 present un \u00e9diteur.

Pour les expliquer, de nombreux auteurs proclament la \u00ab fin du politique \u00bb dans ce continent comme si cette dimension s&#8217;\u00e9tait dissoute avec la chute du \u00ab mur de Berlin \u00bb ; la \u00ab guerre froide \u00bb formait un des cadres d&#8217;intelligibilit\u00e9 de ces ph\u00e9nom\u00e8nes.

Je proposerai, dans ce cas, de cerner la dimension politique par la prise en compte du contexte institutionnel d&#8217;\u00e9mergence de ces affrontements et du ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne de la \u00ab souffrance; par l&#8217;Etat \u00bb, par lequel les atouts politiques se diss\u00e9minent dans la soci\u00e9t\u00e9, qui l&#8217;accompagne.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>@ Samba Gadjigo (*)<\/strong> announces the release by New Yorker Films of the 25-minute documentary film he made about the making of Ousmane Sembene&#8217;s latest feature on female genital mutilations in Africa.

Au cours des derni\u00e8res d\u00e9cennies, on a pu constater une croissance consid\u00e9rable des travaux de recherche et des publications sur la femme et sur le genre en Afrique lusophone, au Br\u00e9sil et au Portugal, ainsi que, dans une moindre mesure, sur Goa, Timor oriental et sur la diaspora lusophone mondiale. Les universitaires f\u00e9ministes ont clairement d\u00e9montr\u00e9 que la femme doit \u00eatre incluse au coeur de tout travail de recherche en sciences sociales et que, ce faisant, on comprend sous de nouveaux angles et mieux l&#8217;histoire et la soci\u00e9t\u00e9. Les \u00e9tudes sur les &#8220;gays&#8221; et lesbiennes, l&#8217;\u00e9tude des masculinit\u00e9s, et le d\u00e9veloppement de la &#8220;queer theory&#8221; sont venues enrichir la complexit\u00e9 d&#8217;approche de la notion de genre au-del\u00e0 des \u00e9tudes portant sp\u00e9cifiquement sur les femmes. Que l&#8217;on aborde des questions relatives \u00e0 la repr\u00e9sentation ou celles de la direction politique et de l&#8217;\u00c9tat, l&#8217;\u00e9tude de la femme et du genre est toujours, dans une certaine mesure, une \u00e9tude sur le pouvoir. Cependant, la centralit\u00e9 que le pouvoir occupe dans l&#8217;analyse demeure tr\u00e8s souvent implicite, sans recevoir un traitement sp\u00e9cifique. On recherche donc des articles qui, explorant l&#8217;une ou plusieurs des facettes du genre pr\u00e9c\u00e9demment d\u00e9finies, le fassent en abordant directement la question du pouvoir. Quoique incluant typiquement la relation de pouvoir entre l&#8217;homme et la femme, il est sugg\u00e9r\u00e9 une conception plus large des champs de pouvoir marqu\u00e9s par le genre. Sont recherch\u00e9s des sujets qui incluent, par exemple, les dimensions suivantes, sans que ces indications soient limitatives : politique, religion, mariage et famille, \u00e9ducation, \u00e9conomie et formes d&#8217;expression telles que l&#8217;art, la culture populaire, la litt\u00e9rature et le th\u00e9\u00e2tre. Des articles sont souhait\u00e9s, venant de diff\u00e9rentes disciplines et approches, sur les espaces les plus divers du monde lusophone, dans le pass\u00e9 et le pr\u00e9sent. Ce que l&#8217;on recherche surtout est une recherche qui introduise de nouveaux abords, discutent de questions difficiles et \u00e9tablissent des comparaisons inattendues tir\u00e9es de l&#8217;h\u00e9t\u00e9rog\u00e9n\u00e9it\u00e9 des espaces lusophones. Il est esp\u00e9r\u00e9 que la r\u00e9union de tels articles permettra de glaner des \u00e9l\u00e9ments nouveaux pour mieux penser le genre et mieux penser le monde lusophone. Les articles peuvent \u00eatre \u00e9crits en portugais, anglais ou fran\u00e7ais.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remise des articles:<\/strong><br \/>\nVeuillez contacter les responsables du dossier, au sujet des normes de pr\u00e9sentation avant d&#8217;envoyer et soumettre votre article pour \u00e9valuation :<br \/>\nKathleen Sheldon, &lt;ksheldon@ucla.edu&gt;, and Marissa Moorman, &lt;moorman@indiana.edu&gt;.<br \/>\n<strong>Date limite de remise des articles :<\/strong> 1er f\u00e9vrier 2005.<\/p>\n<p><strong># &#8220;La France d&#8217;outre-mer (1930-1960)&#8221;<\/strong>, sous la direction de Jean Clauzel [ Paris: Karthala, 2004; 878 pages &#8211; ISBN: 2-84586-423-X; 42 \u20ac ]. Le souvenir de &#8220;l&#8217;Empire colonial fran\u00e7ais&#8221; s&#8217;est estomp\u00e9 dans la m\u00e9moire nationale. Certains disent m\u00eame qu&#8217;il a \u00e9t\u00e9 occult\u00e9. Ce ne sont pas seulement les historiens et ceux qui ont v\u00e9cu cette p\u00e9riode qui sont int\u00e9ress\u00e9s par tout ce qui peut \u00e9clairer ce pass\u00e9 encore r\u00e9cent et discut\u00e9. Une nouvelle g\u00e9n\u00e9ration est d\u00e9sireuse d&#8217;appr\u00e9cier le plus concr\u00e8tement possible ce que repr\u00e9sentait la &#8220;France d&#8217;outre-mer&#8221; et de mieux comprendre ainsi certains des ant\u00e9c\u00e9dents de ce qu&#8217;on appelle aujourd&#8217;hui la &#8220;mondialisation&#8221;. La &#8220;colonisation&#8221; de l&#8217;Afrique et de l&#8217;Indochine appelle plus que jamais des relectures historiques. Cet ouvrage int\u00e9ressera donc plusieurs g\u00e9n\u00e9rations, contemporains de cette \u00e9poque r\u00e9volue, ou chercheurs et \u00e9tudiants confront\u00e9s aux clich\u00e9s r\u00e9currents sur &#8220;le beau temps des colonies&#8221; ou sur les &#8220;t\u00e9n\u00e8bres de la colonisation&#8221;.
