"This book provides a comprehensive approach of the media, journalism and politics in Sub-Saharan Francophone Africa. The author argues that there are common features that the media and journalism share in the seventeen countries of Francophone Africa and these make the local media systems different ... more
"Whereas France owned the second most important empire in the world in 1945, the colonial domination paradoxically leaned very little on radio broadcasting. It was not until 1954 that the French governement, under the impulsion of Pierre Schaeffer, inventor of the “musique concrète,” launched a ... more
"Depuis leur apparition apres les independances politiques, les films realises par les Africains originaires des anciennes colonies françaises subsahariennes ont ete tres peu diffuses dans les salles de l'ancienne metropole. A de tres rares exceptions pres, ils ont egalement tres peu ete vus par le ... more
"Les médias sont souvent le reflet des idéologies dominantes d’une époque donnée, surtout lorsqu’ils sont portés par des institutions publiques. L’étude présentée dans cet article traite de l’un des grands paradigmes contemporains de l’aide publique au développement, fondé sur le ... more

Post-Coloniality and Path Dependency: Challenges at Stake in Media and Communication Research in Francophone Africa

In: The Palgrave Handbook of Media and Communication Research in Africa
Bruce Mutsvairo (ed.)
Cham: Palgrave Macmillan (2018), pp. 73-94
"In this chapter, we demonstrate the challenges inherent in the process of truly overcoming coloniality in Francophone Africa. As we analyze the progressive institutionalization of the field through the creation of journalism schools and training centers, research networks and academic journals, we ... more
"Political blogging in Francophone Africa is quite a recent phenomenon. Most bloggers are journalists and use their blogs to practice writing and/or report affairs they can’t cover in the mainstream media. A blog is therefore a tool for the publication of content to inform the users of development ... more
"Cette série de six articles, tous focalisés sur l’Afrique francophone, traite chacun à leur manière du thème principal de l’usage de l’Internet par des groupes religieux sur le continent africain. Cinq de ces contributions explorent l’usage religieux des médias numériques en Afrique ... more
"For decades international radio broadcasters on the African continent were considered the tools of Western imperialism, ideological weapons in the Cold War. Yet international broadcasters also provided a crucial, alternative supply of information in times of state monopoly of the media and when the ... more

Journalismes d'Afrique

Louvain-la-Neuve: De Boeck (2016), 386 pp.
"Cet ouvrage explore les systèmes médiatiques d’Afrique subsaharienne francophone et propose des clés pour aborder leurs spécificités via nombre d’éléments historiques, politiques, sociologiques, juridiques, économiques et technologiques, indispensables pour les replacer dans leur contex ... more
"Dans cet article, je réfléchis à la relation entre don et marché éditorial en Afrique francophone ainsi qu’à son évolution. Comme je l’observe, l’intensification du don et la diffusion de l’idée qu’il n’y a pas de livres en Afrique coïncide avec l’essor de ce que l’on appel ... more
"From the beginning of the process of opening up in the early 1990s, to the start of the 2000s, Francophone countries in Africa have been seen as ‘in transition‘, ‘emerging democracies‘ or ‘undergoing democratic consolidation‘. Their media were analysed through the lens of the ‘transit ... more
"Cet article examine les dynamiques de délocalisation qui caractérisent l'économie du livre africain dans le champ littéraire africain francophone, en particulier depuis 1990. Il montre qu'il existe une histoire de l'édition en Afrique - fragmentée certes, mais réelle - loin de tous les mythe ... more
