When parents die: Bereavement, decision-making and achieving adult personhood in rural Togo
Death has received considerable attention in the social sciences when it comes to rites of passage, for example, funerals, cremations, vigils, or memorial services. As elders pass away, the generations shift, and former youths become elders themselves. This paper presents the case of my host father, a local notable in northern Togo, who died in 2018 and was honoured by an extensive mourning ritual the following year. Drawing on intense and active…

Entangled Family: Parenting and Field Research in a Togolese Village
Losing or securing futures? Looking beyond ‘proper’ education to decision-making processes about young people’s education in Africa – an introduction
The education of young people in Africa has been receiving increasing political attention due to expanded schooling and, as a result, an expanding number of unemployed educated youths who challenge governments. While many studies have described young people in Africa as being in a stage of 'waithood', this special issue looks at decision-making processes in youths' education. The articles, which are mainly based on anthropological fieldwork, show…

Complexities of elder livelihoods: Changing age-inscriptions and stable norms in three villages in rural West Africa
The intergenerational contract seems to be a dominant social norm of senior care all over the world, in which older adults are cared for reciprocally by those for whom they have cared. Yet in three villages in northern Benin and northern Togo, this intergenerational norm seems to be breached, with older adults living alone and in poverty. However, standardized surveys from a comparative research project established that kin groups do not abandon …
Young Future Africa - Images, Imagination and its Making: An Introduction
Introduction To begin with some generalised observations, when talk is of the future, children and youth never seem to be far off. Apparently, for a good reason. For how can we imagine the future without them? In common public discourses, it is often said that “children are our future”, but for generations, doubts have been expressed about whether “today’s youth” will be able and willing to creatively shape the future. This doubt is indicative of…
Anthropological Perspectives on Care: Work, Kinship, and the Life-Course
Einleitung: Teilnehmende Beobachtung weiter gedacht: Erkenntnisgewinne durch Reflexionen zur eigenen Rolle in der ethnologischen Feldforschung
Ethnologische Feldforschung als Methode ist untrennbar mit der Person des/der Forschenden verbunden. Anders als andere Methoden der empirischen Sozialforschung ist sie in ihrer Umsetzung nicht ubertragbar. Ausgangsinteresse, Verlauf sowie Art und Weise der personlichen Einbindung wahrend der teilnehmenden Beobachtung sind hochst individuell. Diese sollen zwar zu nachvollziehbaren Ergebnissen fuhren, sind aber in ihrer Umsetzung stark an einzelne …
Teilnehmende Beobachtung als dichte Teilhabe - Ein Plädoyer zur ethnologischen Forschung über soziale Nahbeziehungen
Kerngebiet des sozialanthropologischen Interesses ist die Erforschung menschlicher Gruppen und ihrer sozialen Beziehungen. Dies trifft insbesondere auf die Verwandtschaftsforschung zu. Die Methode der teilnehmenden Beobachtung ist hierfür noch immer ein Werkzeug, das von zentraler Bedeutung ist. Sie hat dabei in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten durch intensive Fachdiskussionen über die Writing Culture-Debatte, Intersubjektivität der Ethnopsychoanalyse…

Changing Webs of Kinship: Spotlights on West Africa
Changes in kinship relations are part of the broad social change in all African societies. This article highlights trends and characteristics of changing kinship relations in West Africa. Its analysis focuses on the twentieth century, which was shaped by the colonial conquest and profound societal transformations like the political independence of the African colonies. In analysing three important kinship relations - parent-child relations, marri…
