Mamadou Dia, originaire de Gandiol (Saint-Louis du Sénégal), voyage dans la sous-région ouest-africaine avant d’embarquer en mai 2006, à presque 23 ans, dans une pirogue en direction de l’Espagne depuis Yarakh, village de pêcheurs à Dakar. « Clandestin » durant quatre années, il raconte dans un ouvrage son périple et ses conditions de vie avant de retourner au Sénégal, à Gandiol, pour construire des projets pour et avec les jeunes de son village.…
Dessertine Anna. — À quoi tient le village. Espaces et mobilités en pays malinké (Guinée)
La clé de lecture de cet ouvrage, À quoi tient le village, se trouve dans les toutes premières pages de l’introduction. En arrivant au village de Djirilan (Haute-Guinée), Anna Dessertine explique qu’elle fut intégrée dans sa famille d’accueil en tant « qu’immobile » : passer la journée dans la cour centrale (p. 15).

When silence is "yeelen" (light): Exploring the corporeality of the mind in a nocturnal solo zikr practice (Odienné, Ivory Coast)
In the town of Odienné (Ivory Coast), Madou forges his faith in God by performing long sessions of solo zikr (recollection of God) after midnight. This article ethnographically explores the theme of light in this Sufi practice of concentration as an experiential form of being. It first describes how the light and darkness of the penumbra of the night co-initiate what I call "the devotional place" of zikr. Following a phenomenological writing, it …
Crowd, Sensationalism, and Power: The Yearly Ansar Dine 'Pilgrimage' of Maouloud in Bamako
This article offers a twofold analysis of the popularity of Cherif Ousmane Madani Häidara and the Muslim association Ansar Dine (founded by Haïdara in 1983) in the contemporary Malian Islamic sphere. The author initially observed signs in southwest Mali supporting the view that Häidara was more popular than neo-Hanbali reformist tendencies. In order to frame the debate in a self-critical way, however, the author later argues and elaborates that h…
The vulture without fear: Exploring the noble Muslim in contemporary rural Mali
This article explores the relationship between religiosity and prosperity through a particular ethnographic case from Mali and interrogates the suitability of applying models that use the lens of neoliberalism to this relationship. In the eyes of many Muslims in West Africa, the material prosperity displayed by Muslim scholars indexes a pious life based on the practice of Islamic precepts. In contrast to neoliberal interpretations, I analyze a re…

Night life in southern urbanMali: Being aMuslimmaquisardin Bougouni
Alcohol has been part of local culture in southwestMali since precolonial times. In the last century, whenIslam spread into the region, it became a'haram'(forbidden) substance; therefore its consumption moved to the margins of society. Based on an ethnography of night life in discreet bars called'maquis'where power, wealth, and alcohol become juxtaposed during the night in the small town of Bougouni, this article explores howMuslims handle their …
Chinese Products, Social Mobility and Material Modernity in Bougouni, a Small but Fast-Growing Administrative Town of Southwest Mali
This article ethnographically explores the consumption of the so-called 'Chinese products', which flooded urban Mali in 2009/10, among the inhabitants of the small but fast-growing administrative town of Bougouni. Going beyond utility theories of consumer behaviour, it initially studies the consumption of goods as central to the process of social mobility and status formation by showing how migrants of rural origin used these Chinese goods to con…
