Congolese Cultural Production in Africa and the World
As an object of study, Congolese culture defies ready-made definitions.This inherent complexity has its roots in history.The frontiers of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) were decided at the Berlin Conference in 1884-85. 1 By creating the Congo Free State (CFS), Leopold II, the king of the Belgians, presided over a large ensemble of peoples, such as the Kongo, Lunda, Luba, and Kuba, who had hitherto shared and often competed for land an…
Digging holes, excavating the present, mining the future
This article explores the links between creative imagination and extraction in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This question has an undeniable memorial dimension, for extraction, as a crucial point of entry into Congolese historical consciousness, allows for a multi-perspectivist examination of the way in which the memory of the past has been archived, experienced, and (mis) interpreted. As a key term to understand Congo's geopolitica…

Doing Conceptual History in Africa
Employing an innovative methodological toolkit, Doing Conceptual History in Africa provides a refreshingly broad and interdisciplinary approach to African historical studies. The studies assembled here focus on the complex role of language in Africa’s historical development, with a particular emphasis on pragmatics and semantics. From precolonial dynamics of wealth and poverty to the conceptual foundations of nationalist movements, each contribut…
Unfinished Histories
Belgian colonialism was short-lived but left significant traces that are still felt in the twenty-first century. This book explores how the imperial past has lived on in Belgium, but also in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Burundi. The contributing authors approach colonial legacies from an interdisciplinary perspective and examine how literature, politics, the arts, the press, cinema, museal practices, architecture, and language…
Past Imperfect
This book examines French and Francophone intellectual history in the period leading to the decolonization of sub-Saharan Africa (1945-1960). The analysis favours the epistemological links between ethnology, museology, sociology, and (art) history. In this discussion, a specific focus is placed on temporality and the role ascribed by these different disciplines to African pasts, presents, and futures. It is argued here that the post-war context, …

Translating African thought and literature
The articles of this special issue on “Translating African Thought and Literature” are exploring the long-term linguistic consequences of colonialism and appraising the sometime violent legacies thereof
Georges Balandier's Africa
This article focuses on Georges Balandier's autobiographical essayAfrique ambiguë(1957). Its translation into English,Ambiguous Africa: Cultures in Collision(1966), provides the basis for an examination of the concept of translation in its linguistic but also, and above all, transcultural dimensions. As a text,Ambiguous Africadoes not quite render the subtlety of the French original but beyond its translational shortcomings, Balandier's book is a…
Les Statues meurent aussi
This article focuses on the 1953 film essay Les Statues meurent aussi by Chris Marker, Alain Resnais and Ghislain Cloquet. The film was commissioned by Présence Africaine, the publisher and academic journal, which would radically transform France’s post-war intellectual landscape and pave the way for a wholesale reassessment of the relationship between Africa and the West in the arts, literature, the human sciences and philosophy. Les Statues res…

Mudimbe's homo absconditus
This article demonstrates that the notion of the 'human' - 'man', 'anthropos', 'muntu' (and their sub-human opposites: the pagan, the savage, the 'docile' body) - has played a crucial role in V. Y. Mudimbe's work since the 1960s. Indeed, there is in the author's production a tendency to explore the human sciences and the ways in which they have contributed to the real and imaginary shape, but also obfuscation, of sub-Saharan Africa and its people…
À propos des Oeuvres de Frantz Fanon
Il ne s'agira pas, sous ce titre, de tenter de sparer l'crivain du penseur, mais de montrer qu'il y a chez Fanon une criture de la pense, c'est--dire une inscription concrte de son dire dans une historicit intensment vcue. Dans l'esprit de ce qu'Henri Meschonnic a fait pour Spinoza quand il a montr que la pense du philosophe et le discours en langue latine qui l'exprime taient anims par une force du sens et par une nergie stupfiante. Quand Henri …
Modernity and the Belgian Congo
This article will explore the intellectual context in which French-Belgian colonial writing developed from the turn of the twentieth century to the late 1930s. This period is marked by a gradual shift from evolutionism to cultural relativism. The analysis will first focus on the Tervuren colonial exhibition of 1897 and the progressive emergence of Belgian africanism in the early twentieth century. Secondly, it will account for the ways in which t…
Mudimbe's Fetish of the West and Epistemological Utopianism
This article will provide a close reading of Mudimbe's early collections of essays L'Autre Face du royaume (1973) and L'Odeur du père (1982). In the English-language exegesis of Mudimbe's writings, these two key texts have been unduly neglected in favour of The Invention of Africa (1988), an essay which, from a chronological point of view, coincided more conveniently with the advent of the postcolonial ‘turn’. I will however contend that these tw…
