La photographie africaine dans l’espace visuel atlantique
Présentation de la traductionComment la photographie a-t-elle été adoptée en Afrique de l’Ouest et centrale au xixe siècle ? Et comment est-elle progressivement devenue un médium visuel omniprésent sur le continent africain ? Dans ce chapitre de synthèse publié en 2018, Jürg Schneider défend l’hypothèse suivante : si l’on veut retracer l’histoire de ces pratiques, alors il faut considérer la photographie en Afrique dans un contexte élargi, celui …
Douala-Bruyères/Vosges Mountains
The study of two photographs from the 1950s, in the possession of a Cameroonian family, reveals little-noticed transnational flows of people from the geopolitical and national peripheries of the world, linked by the (post-)colonial relations and geopolitical alliances of their states. Bruyères, a small town in eastern France where these photographs were taken, turns out to be not only an unexpected and distant crossroads of French colonial politi…
Photo George, in Douala
The study of one of Cameroon's first permanent photo studios, Photo George in Douala, reveals a story of migration, social mobility, intellectual ambition, and a special ability to adapt to a challenging economic, political and social situation. Tracing the studio founder's family history back to the mid-19th century and considering Freetown's multicultural Krio society with its longstanding interactions with photographic practices, not only tell…
No Way Back – Reflections on the Future of the African Photographic Archive
The article examines from a global perspective the phenomenon of digital photographic archiving and questions its impact on African archives both on the continent and outside it. The authors deal with the multi-layered consequences of information technologies for African photographic archives, asking to what degree they have connected Africa to the world. They consider too how much access they have given Africans to materials that were previously…
African Photography in the Atlantic Visualscape
Views of continuity and change
The English-speaking part of Cameroon in the south western part of the country, two of a total of 10 regions and making up roughly 20% of the population, joined French Cameroun in 1961 to form the Federal Republic of Cameroon. In 1972, a new constitution replaced the federation with a unitary state called the United Republic of Cameroon. The Press Photo Archives in Buea, West Cameroon’s former capital, is a remnant of this period. Covering a shor…
Demand and Supply
This article takes a closer look at photography's use and reception during its introduction in West and Central Africa, in the era of European imperial conquest. It considers patronage as well as the most popular forms and circulation of early photography. The latter part focuses on one of the first African photographers, Francis Wilberforce Joaque. His biography vividly illustrates a professional acumen in the dynamic markets where he met the de…
Beyond the "African" Archive Paradigm
Recently there has been an unprecedented surge of interest among scholars, curators and collectors in early photographic material from West Africa, galvanizing new multidisciplinary networks of scholarly research and exhibition practices. The transfer of photographs and even whole archives from the African continent to Europe and the United States has continued to increase as a consequence of the research and market demand, posing new questions a…

The Topography of the Early History of African Photography
African historians' interest in photographic sources is still rather recent and can be traced back to the mid-1980s. Today, after more than twenty years of research, we know the general outlines of the history of African photography, but have yet to move beyond the larger picture. In having a close look at some centres of the early history of West and Central African photography such as Sierra Leone, Fernando Po and Gabon, as well as at the profe…
