The negotiation of religious difference in Euro-Senegalese families
In the Senegambian region, the history of intimate relationships and marriage with Europeans goes back several centuries. As a result, people have developed tactics to mediate religious difference. Binational marriage between Senegalese and European spouses is increasingly common in both gender configurations, but such unions are also spaces where religious difference is the object of both conflict and accommodation. Many unions involve crossing …
Shock Mobilities During Moments of Acute Uncertainty
The COVID-19 pandemic and interventions addressing it raise important questions about human mobility that have geopolitical implications. This forum uses mobility and immobility during the pandemic as lenses onto the ways that routinised state power reacts to acute uncertainties, as well as how these reactions impact politics and societies. Specifically, we propose the concept of “shock mobility” as migratory routines radically reconfigured: emer…

Introduction: Dance in Africa and beyond: creativity and identity in a globalized world
In this introduction to the special issue on dance in Africa and beyond, we review the anthropological study of dance in Africa since the 1920s and introduce the seven contributions, organized around the key themes of transformed identities (both contemporary and historical), decoloniality, new media, morality, and the problematic representations of African diasporic identities in contemporary Europe. With this special issue, we argue that the st…
"Marrying Out" for Love: Women's Narratives of Polygyny and Alternative Marriage Choices in Contemporary Senegal
This article examines the ways in which childhood and youth experiences of living in polygynous households shape the aspirations of middle-class Muslim Senegalese women to companionate marriage. Increasingly, such aspirations are fulfilled through marriage with European men. In contrast to an enduring popular discourse according to which women live happily with polygyny throughout the Senegambian region, this article shows how some middle-class w…
Gendered educational trajectories and transnational marriage among West African students in France
French colonialism resulted in the inclusion of large numbers of West Africans into French educational institutions. Furthermore, the Senegambian region has a long history of intermarriage with French citizens. This paper draws on this history to explore the interplay between migration, education and binational marriage over several generations of West African students, with a particular focus on Senegal. Students from Francophone countries conti…
Choreographic Performance, Generations and the Art of Life in Post-Colonial Dakar
This article looks at three generations of choreographic performers in urban Senegal to examine the creative ways in which people develop their bodily skills, not only for the pleasure of innovation, but also to 'make their way into the world'. In so doing, they produce new social spaces and engage with a multiplicity of existing ones. I suggest that this multiple engagement characterizes contemporary urban Africa, where social mobility is concei…
Dance Circles: Movement, Morality and Self-fashioning in Urban Senegal
Senegal has played a central role in contemporary dance due to its rich performing traditions, as well as strong state patronage of the arts, first under French colonialism and later in the postcolonial era. In the 1980s, when the Senegalese economy was in decline and state fundingwithdrawn, European agencies used the performing arts as a tool in diplomacy. This had a profound impact on choreographic production and arts markets throughout Africa.…

Le poids du succès: Construction du corps, danse et carrière à Dakar
À Dakar, la danse constitue un élément essentiel de la vie cérémonielle et festive. Mais au-delà de la fête, sa professionnalisation offre de nouvelles opportunités de mobilité sociale. À mi-chemin entre la construction du sujet individuel et celle du corps social, cette contribution examine la transformation des pratiques corporelles dans les milieux de la danse à Dakar. Des corps musclés, parfois d'une minceur extrême, et des peaux « naturelles…
