The Making of the Land Heritage of Religious Missions
The making of a land patrimony for the benefit of religious missions is profoundly linked to territorial construction in the colonies but is rarely examined from the angle of ecclesiastical governmentality over the ceded lands. This analysis highlights three complementary processes for understanding the role of religious mission land heritage in territorial reconfigurations. First, this article examines the process of “land sanctuarization”, whic…
Turning the tables or business as usual? Covid-19 as a catalyst in North-South research collaborations
Since February 2020, we have witnessed COVID-19 profoundly disturb ongoing research dynamics - including research collaborations between the Global North and the Global South. Reduced international and regional mobility obliged research collaborations to reinvent their modalities. The role of field-based researchers (those physically 'there') has never been more crucial. This article draws on the testimonies of researchers from the African Great …
Localized land tenure registration in Burundi and eastern DR Congo
The last two decades, a variety of –mostly donor-led– initiatives have aimed at ‘localizing’ land tenure registration, specifically in conflict-affected settings, making the registration of land rights more accessible to rural smallholders. In such settings, land registration is seen not just as instrumental to tenure security and economic development; but also to prevent land-related violence and promote sustainable peace. However, to reach such…
Pressions sur les terres au Sud-Kivu (RDC). Quelle alternative face à la saturation agraire sur l’île d’Idjwi
La présente recherche requestionne le débat des pressions foncières dans l’Est de la RDC en sortant d’une explication devenue classique sur l’origine des conflits fonciers autour des variables « terre - pouvoir - identité ». Elle met en exergue la variable « démographie » et son corollaire de la « rareté de la terre » comme donne inéluctable de la crise agraire dans un contexte particulier d’insularité. Bien que la forte saturation agraire observ…
Real governance of the Covid-19 crisis in the Great Lakes region of Africa
During the COVID-19 crisis in Africa, several contradictory discourses have tried to predict how the continent will experience the pandemic. Based on a qualitative approach, this article goes beyond generalized and arbitrary predictions and analyzes how three countries in the Great Lakes region of Africa have managed the pandemic. We first analyze which measures the respective governments of the three countries – and their decentralized authoriti…
La Gouvernance foncière en RD Congo
Du pluralisme normatif et institutionnel comme fil rouge des réflexions Cet ouvrage vient enrichir la littérature socio-anthropologique sur les questions foncières en Afrique subsaharienne en général, et congolaises en particulier. Il constitue la suite d’une recherche doctorale qui a été menée sur la gouvernance foncière dans un contexte de crise en république démocratique du Congo. La problématique posée par l’auteur se résume à dépasser l’oppo…
