  Artistic, Digital, and Political Creation in English-Speaking African Countries

  Africa 2020

  French President Emmanuel Macron announced on 3rd July 2018 in Lagos that a Special Season would be organized in France, from June to December 2020, to mark a renewed partnership with Africa, a “varied, strong and diverse continent that will play a part in our shared future”. Even if this cultural focus cannot be abstracted from a broader geopolitical agenda marred by controversial presidential declarations, it nevertheless has the potential to offer a somewhat different coverage of the continent. One can only hope that it avoids the temptation to officially “curate into being” “exceptional” artists (Dovey), tapping into the all-too-familiar image of Africa as “the supreme receptacle of the West’s obsession with, and circular discourse about, the facts of ‘absence,’ ‘lack,’ and ‘non-being,’ of identity and difference” (Mbembe).

  Africa 2020: Artistic, digital, and political creation in english-speaking African countries

  French President Emmanuel Macron announced on 3rd July 2018 in Lagos that a Special Season would be organized in France, from June to December 2020, to mark a renewed partnership with Africa, a “varied, strong and diverse continent that will play a part in our shared future”. The peer-reviewed journal of Aix-Marseille Université research centre on Anglophone Studies (LERMA), E-rea, has decided to seize the opportunity of Africa 2020 to dedicate a special issue to contemporary artistic, digital, and political creation in English-speaking African countries. Heeding Kenyan political analyst Nanjala Nyabola’s advice to eschew the too reductive ‘Africa rising’ and ‘Africa failing’ narratives in favour of ‘Africa being’ stories, this special issue wishes to focus on “stories reflecting the ambivalence, complexity, challenges and opportunities of African societ[ies] in an increasingly connected world”.

  Cheikh Anta Diop, Frantz Fanon et Jean-Marc Ela, des savants au service de L’Afrique contemporaine

  Dans une Afrique qui fait face à nombre de problèmes et qui cherche ses marques dans un monde dominé par la loi du plus fort, c’est-à-dire des plus riches, les pensées de Cheikh Anta Diop, Frantz Fanon et Jean-Marc Ela semblent importantes et méritent encore plus d’attention. Même si beaucoup a été enseigné et écrit à propos d’eux, il reste cependant qu’ils méritent toujours d’être relus et d’attirer l’attention compte tenu de la richesse du corpus scientifique qu’ils ont élaboré et qui sont toujours d’un grand intérêt pour l’Afrique contemporaine. Lus entre les lignes, leurs travaux ne peuvent-ils pas inspirer et servir à l’élaboration d’un modèle de développement plus adapté aux réalités africaines ?
