Où êtes-vous donc, John Cage
Faisant référence à son installation de 1976, 12 + 1 =, qui réunissait treize tourne-disques automatiques en opération continue, l’artiste explique comment la pensée de John Cage a orienté son intérêt pour le disque-objet, tout en soulignant la spécificité de sa démarche
Comment compter les sujets de l'Empire
La collecte des données de population, dans un contexte colonial, servit de mesure des succès de l'entreprise impériale. L'acte de dénombrer, quelles qu'en soient ses modalités techniques, fut perçu comme un des outils de transfert de souveraineté de la chefferie traditionnelle vers l'armée conquérante. Lorsque le système idéologique colonial fut mis en place, la relative simplicité de ces « images » chiffrées recéla les ambiguïtés et la complexi…
État colonial et savoir démographique en AOF, 1904-1960
Our lack of knowledge on the production of population estimates in France's colonial empire is in sharp contrast to the efforts of British authorities after 1940. To understand this ¿omission', we have to assess the numerous oppositions existing within the French colonial state.... After the first memoranda of 1904 and 1909, colonial census-taking activities were inexorably merged with everyday administrative tasks: taxation, justice, policing, e…
A dinâmica demográfica de Luanda no contexto do tráfico de escravos do Atlântico Sul, 1781-1844
Este artigo objetiva, em primeiro lugar, reconstruir a história demográfica de Luanda entre 1781 e 1844, por meio do manejo de um grande número de censos coevos, apontando, em última instância, para a possibilidade de reconstituir a história da população de certas regiões do continente africano para o período anterior a 1900. Em segundo lugar, no caso específico deste centro urbano, o maior exportador de escravos da costa ocidental, indica-se que…

From Crisis to National Identity
In the eyes of many colonial administrators in Dakar, the abolition of Upper Volta in 1932 may have signaled the beginning of an era of realism, the end of an economic experiment that had turned bad after 1928. This decision did little to reduce instability in the ex-colony. The centerpieces of this eventful history were the struggle for labor, in the midst of a world economic crisis and war-time conditions, and the slow emergence of national awa…

Contrôler, compter, comparer [La production et la gestion de l'information démographique en Haute-Volta avant 1960]
Les recensements de la population organisés en Afrique par l'administration coloniale française ne peuvent se comprendre sans la connaissance historique des conditions politiques et administratives de leur production et de leur gestion. Émanant de directives du pouvoir central et mimant les pratiques de la métropole, ces tentatives de création d'un savoir démographique furent vouées très tôt à l'échec. L'inadéquation entre les exigences de struct…

La politique cotonnière de la France dans le Mosi colonial (Haute-Volta) (1919-1940)
A son arrivée à Ouagadougou, Hesling, premier lieutenant-gouverneur de la nouvelle colonie de la Haute-Volta, avait une conscience aiguë de ce que la France attendait de lui. Pour lutter contre le quasi-monopole anglais et américain de la production du coton, il fallait que certaines parties de l'Empire produisent cette denrée. Alors vont s'installer dans la région un implacable système de ponctions de la production locale, au détriment de l'arti…
Recensements en AOF
The mobilization of the population, and therefore, of the labor force was central to the ideology and the working of the colonial administration. The history of the emergence of a « demographic accountancy » in the administrative experience in French West Africa, with examples from Upper Volta, illustrates the will of administrators of all ranks in trying to better decipher population numbers. Sadly this ambition was not without its contradiction…

Peasantries and Development
In the European context, French society maintained its rural character much longer than did neighbouring countries and therefore has had a rather long tradition of rural studies, both in the fields of history and geography. Sadly, this tradition did little to improve France's record in extension work in its colonies. Nevertheless, after World War II, in the wake of massive development projects and the creation of tools for scientific intervention…
Archival Documents on Upper Volta
Fluctuations of colonial policies toward territorial integrity were not without effects, first on the people of these colonies and then on the organization of their own administration. A case in point is the tortuous history of colonial administration in Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso). Created in 1919 out of the oversized Haut-Sénégal-Niger—which extended from the Sénégal river to lake Chad—in order to rationalize the administration Upper Volta s…
Saving Francophone Africa's Statistical Past
Colonial administration, as every other administration, was built on the production and management of numbers: export figures (to assess the economic performance of each colony); population estimates, often falsely labeled “censuses” (to establish each colony's capacity to pay the head tax); school enrollment statistics (to establish budgets and document the road to “civilization”). French colonialism was probably one of the more centralized and …

La plus riche des colonies pauvres
The aggressive fiscal policy of the military administration of Chad from 1900 to 1920 is analysed. Using archival data on colonial budgets, taxation revenues, and the “Reserve Funds” (“La caisse de réserve”), the article documents considerablefiscal surpluses. Despite policies of currency scarcity—first in the availability of the Thaler, and subsequently, of French currency—Chad over-achieved as a “self-financing” colony. This fiscal policy, acco…

Avec plusieurs autres chercheurs, les auteurs ont adopte l'hypothese d'une sousestimation chronique des recensements en raison des difficultes particulieres du contexte africain et colonial. De plus, ils nient la possibilite d'une amelioration de l'appareil administratif colonial qui expliquerait les ajustements apport6s aux estimations de population.3 Nous tenterons de montrer qu'il faut, dans un certain contexte, remettre serieusement en questi…

Statistiques, langage et pouvoir dans la société coloniale
La critique interne des statistiques démographiques dans le système colonial français exige une connaissance intime du fonctionnement du système global, ses mécanismes de communication et ses luttes de pouvoir entre les différents niveaux d'administration. Le texte tente d'en faire l'analyse et de montrer la place des statistiques de population dans un réseau de circulation d'informations qui possédait son propre langage
The Handbook of National Population Censuses
This work reviews the census efforts of each nation in Asia and Africa. The authors provide brief histories of each country and chronicle all official population enumerations. Post-1945 censuses are discussed in more detail than those taken before 1945. Special features of various censuses are discussed along with the data quality publication plans and definitions and concepts used. Each entry also provides a national topic chart that lists typic…
