Activisme politique et gouvernance au Niger
Autant l’activisme numérique s’est renforcé ces dernières années sur le continent africain avec l’expansion du téléphone portable et des réseaux sociaux, autant les gouvernements dictatoriaux ou autoritaires ont adapté leurs méthodes de répression à la nouvelle situation. On le voit surtout dans l’usage que ces gouvernements font des technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) pour consolider leur pouvoir et/ou exercer une surveill…
Changement technologique et sociabilité
Dans cet article, nous nous proposons d’examiner les multiples facettes des liens qui se forment entre usagers du numérique en Afrique au travers de l’évolution des communautés virtuelles sur le continent au cours des 25 dernières années. Les deux principales questions ayant guidé cette recherche sont les suivantes : quels sont les différents types de communautés virtuelles auxquels les pratiques et l’appropriation du numérique ont donné lieu en …
Dimensions of the mobile divide in Niger
The rapid appropriation of information and communication technologies in Africa has sparked an abundant literature centered on the “transformative” character of computers and mobile phone technologies. For many authors (Davison et al., 2000; Steinmueller, 2001; Fleming, 2003; Waverman et al., 2005) ICTs use will enable Africa to achieve leapfrogging development. That is why a number of international organizations and agencies have now placed ICTs…
A grey area
This paper analyses how the French media perceive the advent of Al Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) in the Sahel, and particularly in Niger. It shows that the French media are constructing Niger as a ‘grey area’, a dangerous place and a ‘failed state’ through a monolithic discourse rooted in French cultural and ideological presuppositions about Africa and Africans. I argue that the monolithic discourse of French media on the War on Terror in the S…
Young people, computers and the Internet in Niger
This article explores how computers and the Internet are represented among young, educated people in niger and the social expectations that are attached to their use. it argues that pre-existing social and economic conditions play an important role in shaping the meanings associated with these devices. thus, in a context of poverty and unemployment, the internet and computers are perceived as technologies that may help young people and their coun…
Ethnic statistics and social classifications in France
The status of France's ethnic minorities has become a major issue in recent years owing to the riots in October and November of 2005, as well as the National Assembly debates on the Taubira law,1 1. Christiane Taubira is a French female politician and activist born 2 February 1952, in Cayenne, French Guyana. She is a militant of the PRG (Parti Radical de Gauche) et ‘deputée’ (a member of the French National Parliament). She is best known for the …
The state and the rebel
The advent of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) – particularly the internet and associated networks – have made it possible to express previously repressed nationalist sentiments, forbidden languages, ethnic loyalties, and new identities free from the control exerted between the boundaries of the state. New forms of nationalistic conflicts (that take place in what Arquilla and Ronfeldt (1996, 2001) call ‘netwars’) are now bein…
Identities in a ‘fragmegrated’ world
The advent of the Internet has allowed many scattered communities across the world to rediscover and share a common identity that was believed lost. It has also led to the reconstruction of identities by way of new representations, which are constantly being formulated, nourished, and maintained. The Africans of the diaspora, in particular, created multiple websites for community exchanges in the form of discussion groups, online forums, interact…
Myths of digital technology in Africa
Many multi- and bilateral agencies have integrated the promotion of information and communication technologies in Africa into their programmes. Along with African NGOs, they strongly advocate the use of ICTs by government offices, private enterprises, schools and the public. In general, groups and actors involved in such efforts share a set of dispositions and worldviews which are highly ‘modernist’ and technocentrist and characterized by a prope…
Islamic Renewal in Niger
L'islam occupe traditionnellement une place importante dans l'histoire des populations du Niger. Mais sa progression s'est revelee a ce point fulgurente durant les toutes dernieres decennies que, lors du recensement de 1988, pres de 99% des individus declaraient s'y rattacher. Cette croissance permet certes de parler d'un renouveau islamique au Niger. Mais, paradoxalement, dans ce pays ou l'islamisation ancienne ne fut pas veritablement synonyme …
