Présence Africaine
L'invention de l'Afrique
Étrange destin que celui de la trajectoire du livre The Invention of Africa (1988), ici traduit par Laurent Vannini en français. Son auteur Valentin Y. Mudimbe, est reconnu comme l’un des plus fins analystes des sciences sociales, des humanités classiques et modernes et de la philologie ; Mudimbe est aussi un romancier hors pair. Il a pourtant fallu une génération pour traduire son livre dans la langue et les traditions intellectuelles francophon…
Complicities
Complicities explores the complicated-even contradictory-position of the intellectual who takes a stand against political policies and ideologies. He examines the role of South African intellectuals by looking at the work of a number of key figures-both supporters and opponents of apartheid.Sanders gives detailed analyses of widely divergent thinkers: Afrikaner nationalist poet N. P. van Wyk Louw, Drum writer Bloke Modisane, Xhosa novelist A. C. …
Life and Times of Cultural Studies
The Mudimbe reader
A monograph that is dedicated to the work of Valentin Yves Mudimbe. It charts the history of the seminal Congolese philosopher, epistemologist, and philologist from the late 1960s to the present day, exploring his major essays and novels. It highlights Mudimbe's trajectory through major debates on African nationalism, and Panafricanism
Images of Africa
Images of Africa
This title challenges the widely-held idea that Africans are powerless in the creation of self-image. It explores the ways in which image creation is a process of negotiation entered into by a wide range of actors within and beyond the continent.

Masques aux quatre points
Going back to Greek conceptualities, this epilogue is a manner of conceiving a strategy in cultural bargaining, a distance, a double bind that, in serenity, could expose its ways of subalternating multiple aspects of questions to the authority of texts and qualify the effects of this exercise as a manner of managing existential anxieties. The awareness of thinking one's being in the world, the face of the other represented by the texts and the po…
Et Nunc… Per Hoc Signum
Looking at texts in everyday life might seem an effort in both detachment and critical indifference. But, is it really? Texts deliver their visibility in the contrasts spelled out by a grammar in which qualities and functions depend on word orders and the intervention of prepositions. An inwardness documents their features, substantiates fragile items in comparison with a Greek or Latin declension and word-ending systems. It may detail signals, f…
Letter to René Devisch
Globalization and African Identity
THE QUESTION OF AFRICAN IDENTITIES GENERALLY IMPOSES ITSELF ASOBVIOUS and rarely interrogates its two components, "Africa" and "identity." What do they mean and since when, exactly? Moreover, and more importantly, there is always, implicit, another question: Who's speaking, and from which intellectual background, and in order to produce what and communicate a knowledge to whom? Finally, by conceiving, in the title of this intervention, Africa as …

Race, Identity, Politics and History
Afrocentrism: Mythical Pasts and Imagined Homes . By S TEPHEN H OWE . London and New York: Verso, 1998. Pp. x + 337. £22 ( ISBN 1-85984-873-7); £15, paperback ( ISBN 1-85984-228-3). Stephen Howe's book is certainly, to date, the most comprehensive study on Afrocentrism. Its subtitle, Mythical Pasts and Imagined Homes , makes quite clear its object of analysis. Divided into three parts, it dwells successively on ancestors of the movement and their…
Tales of Faith
L'A. presente l'ouvrage de Valentin Mudimbe paru a Londres en 1997. Il concerne la religion dans le sens ou ses themes dominants parlent des chretiens et du christianisme en Afrique aux epoques missionnaire et post-missionnaire ; quelques-uns sont aussi consacres a l'islam et a la religion indigene. Si les themes religieux sont dominants, ils sont accompagnes d'une reflexion epistemologique

The Idea of Africa
Africa and the Disciplines
Parables and Fables
This book confronts the philosophical problems of otherness and identity through readings of the parables and fables of a colonized people, the Luba of Zaire. V.Y. Mudimbe poses two overarching questions: how can one think about and comment upon alterity without essentializing its features? Is it possible to speak and write about an African tradition or its contemporary practice without taking into account the authority of the colonial library th…
The Surreptitious Speech
Distinguished scholar V. Y. Mudimbe assembles a lively tribute to Presence Africaine, the landmark African studies journal begun in 1947 Paris. While it celebrates the project's forty-year history, The Surreptitious Speech does not naively canonize the journal but rather offers a vibrant discussion and critical reading of its context, characteristics, and significance
Africa and the Disciplines
African Studies, contrary to some accounts, is not a separate continent in the world of American higher education. Its intellectual borders touch those of economics, literature, history, philosophy and art; its history is the story of the world, both ancient and modern. This is the clear conclusion of and the Disciplines, a book that addresses the question: Why should Africa be studied in the American university? This question was put to distingu…
Africans' Memories and Contemporary History of Africa
African Gnosis Philosophy and the Order of Knowledge
This article is extracted from a larger essay which grew as a consequence (or, more exactly, as an accident) of an invitation to establish a survey on African philosophy. Strictly speaking, the notion of African philosophy refers to contributions of Africans practicing philosophy within the definite framework of the discipline and its historical tradition (Horton, 1976; Hountondji, 1977; Mudimbe, 1983b). It is only metaphorically or, at best, fro…

African Art as a Question Mark
What I would like to present is a broad theoretical framework which could account for the significance of present-day African culture, particularly of African art, as a result of a process of “aesthetization.” I use this concept in the precise sense defined and illustrated by J. Baudrillard (1972) in his Pour une Critique de l'Economie politique du Signe. As a preliminary to the analysis of this concept, I would emphasize F. Fanon's (1967) statem…
African Philosophy as an Ideological Practice
To run through the chronological repertory of works of African for the period 1950-1980 (Mudimbe, 1982a; Smet, 1978b), one fact strikes the eye immediately: the large number of books of philosophy published in Central Africa, mainly in Zaire. This quantity is due to the influence of Catholic missionaries during the colonial era. In the terms of the 1906 Convention between the Holy See and the Congro Free State they had a quasi monopoly in educati…
Which Idea of Africa? Herskovits's Cultural Relativism
This essay examines Melville J. Herskovits's concept of cultural relativism, particularly as it relates to his studies of African cultures. Mudimbe argues that Herskovits's approach, while intending to counter racist and ethnocentric biases, ultimately reinforces a static and essentialized view of Africa. By focusing on the survival of African cultural traits in the diaspora, Herskovits inadvertently perpetuates a notion of an unchanging "African…

The invention of Africa
"What is the meaning of Africa and being an African? What is and what is not African philosophy? Is philosophy part of Africanism? These are the kinds of fundamental questions that this book addresses. V.Y. Mudimbe argues that the various discourses themselves establish the worlds of thought in which people conceive their identity. Western anthropology and missionaries have introduced distortions not only for outsiders but also for Africans tryin…

African Theology As A Political Praxis
Cet article trace la carrière et les idées de Vincent Mulago, théologien, l'un des premiers évêques catholiques de l'Afrique Centrale. A partir des années cinquante, Mulago était a l'avant-garde du travail théologique sur la rencontre entre l'identité culturelle africaine et la théologie chrétienne. Il a créé une « théologie de l'adaptation », qui prône une pluralité de la théologie chrétienne
