Colloque Les Mots de la Migration (12/13/14 décembre, Paris)
Colloque international 12, 13 et 14 décembre**CEPED-Université Paris Descartes, Paris 5 ème*
« la migration prise aux mots : mises en récits et en images des migrations transafricaines »
Ce colloque international en sciences humaines et sociales a pour objectif de discuter des résultats de recherches du collectif MIPRIMO (ANR Les Suds) portant sur la thématique de la mise en récits et en images des migrations transafricaines. Les participants issus de diverses disciplines (linguistique, littérature, histoire, anthropologie, sociologie, démographie) tenteront de rendre compte de la pluralité des visions du voyage et de la migration ouest-africaine, à travers les processus de mise en scène, de mise en mots et en images de la migration. Contrebalançant une approche strictement économique, les communications présentées mettront en évidence la portée des imaginaires, des mythes, des croyances, des récits (quels que soient leurs modes de transmission) sur les départs et les retours entre les pays africains. Pleinement actifs dans les productions artistiques (littérature, chant, cinéma, web, télévision, théâtre, performance scénique…), ces récits sont partie intégrante de la vie quotidienne en Afrique de l’Ouest, elle-même constituée par la circulation des personnes, et ceci depuis bien avant la période coloniale. Les productions langagières, textelles et artistiques qui accompagnent les voyageurs ou les aventuriers impliquent une contextualisation sociale et historique qui nous engagera à comprendre la place et le rôle que celles-ci tiennent dans les espaces locaux, transnationaux et internationaux en Afrique et ailleurs lors de leur exportation ou translocalisation.

P. Manning u.a. (Hrsg.): Andre Gunder Frank and Global Development
In 2008, Patrick Manning, Barry K. Gills, Salvatore Babones, John Beverley, Thomas Rawski and Robert M. Fagley organized a conference at the
University of Pittsburgh on Andre Gunder Franks Legacy of Critical Social Science.The book herein reviewed is a collection of papers from that
conference.Following a Foreword by Immanuel Wallerstein, it is divided into an introductory chapter, The World Economy in Theory and Practice:
The Contributions of Andre Gunder Frank in the Era of Underdevelopment and Globalization and three parts: Andre Gunder Franks critical
vision,Continuing debates, and Multidisciplinary developments.
Andre Gunder Frank had been a founding figure and, until his death in 2005, a leading analyst of political economy at the global level (p. i).
The initial chapter, by the two editors, presents a useful overview of the trajectory of Franks career; at the same time they present selected
biographical details and the developments in both the scholarly and material world fundamental to Franks life and thought. They offer the
following periodization.From 1945 to 1960 (a period of economic growth and growth theory), Frank completed his education and developed his central insight that social change [] seemed the key to both social and economic development (p. 5).From 1960 to 1975 (marked by reactions to Keynesianism, New Left thinking, and responses to modernization theory), building on his experiences in Latin America Frank demonstrated the centrality of Latin America in the global economy and argued its connectedness. From 1975 to 1990 (difficult times on every front), Frank not only became interested in global crisis, but his new interest in cross disciplinary, historically long-term and geographically wide-ranging studies led him to ask whether the world-system might go back in history before 1600 or even before 1492 (p. 10).The authors highlight the way in which Franks multidisciplinarity underlines the value of the social science disciplines, pointed to the positive aspects of a break from Eurocentric premises, and provides us with secure protection against the uncritical reflex of treating the latest global development as a completely new phase (p. 18).
For this reviewer, one of the most important aspects of the individual contributions to this book is the way they offer evidence of the vitality
and dynamism of work in long-term, large-scale social changeand especially a relational or systems approach to such changeof which Frank was an
important early exponent. Particular examples of this approach can be cited. Albert Bergeson discusses Frankian Triangles: The systemness of a
world system lies in its multilateral trade and balance of payments triangles; Frank is concerned with these in the nineteenth-century world
economy and the importance of being at the apex of two or more such triangles, as was the case with Britain (p. 25) suggesting that such
exchange relations precede and determine production relations (p. 26). Jan-Frederik Abbeloos focuses explicitly on connections in a look at the
Atlantic copper market in the long twentieth century by emphasizing Franks point of the importance of location in systemic relations. This leads him
to advocate for analyses based on large-scale commodity chainsor of value chainsin which states, firms, and classes shift from units of analysis to
different agents that influence the connections under study (p. 190).In Kevan Harriss chapter on ReOrienting Iran, the author takes seriously
Franks insight that much of the dependent development thesis implied a mythical opposite, the possibility of independent development. The cogent
conclusion is that Irans experience since the Revolution, although it may have made certain social scientists and activists uncomfortable, does not
radically diverge from the general experience of portions of the global South during the last three decades, a period that humbled most
anti-systemic movements and forced rethinking of long-held orthodoxies on the political left (p. 208). In another well-argued contribution with a
national focus, Hae-Yung Song addresses the limits of prevailing approaches to development in Korea and the Korean developmental state
concluding that all positions, including those that challenge mainstream approaches, take national development for granted and thus prevent an
appropriate understanding of development and neoliberalism. As an alternative she suggests a perspective that looks at development as a
global process in which class struggle and imperialist forces interplay and that learns from world system theory, whichposits capitalism as a
global system and thereby denies national development (p. 226). In her study of watershed management in Honduras, Carylanna Taylor also makes the systemic point about how seemingly unbound processes stretching across transnational spaces share very real consequences in specific places (p.
242).
Several of the articles will prompt detailed critical examination from scholars in the field(e.g., Gills and Franks The Modern World-System under
Asian Hegemony and Robert A. Denemarks presentation of Franks unpublished ReOrient the Nineteenth Century), but in a broad way, two points can be usefully raised here that concern the collection as a whole. The first issue concerns the general absence of the cultural arena in both the
theoretical presentations and practical analyses. Few today really believe that one can understand what is happening economically without including a political dimension or vice versa what the politics of a situation are without a clear view of what interests are at stake. But both political
and economic decisions are based on value sets, which vary over space and time. These large-scale value considerations are what we need to consider
as culturerelativistic and humanistic modes of creating consensus that shape, quite fundamentally,the political economy of the world in which we
live. John Beverley does seem to recognize the problem, e.g.: issues of cultural difference and identity move from the status of what was called
in classical Marxism a secondary contradiction to become the, or at lease a main contradiction in the contemporary world (p. 145). The cultural
realm is most difficult to conceptualize in terms that will correlate with our materialist visions of politics and economics, but ignoring cultural
considerations can seriously weaken our understanding of the processes of the world-economy.
The second issue that this collection brings into sharp focus is the difference between two modes of system thinking. On the one hand, we may
conceive of a system as a set of communicatinglinkedunits, the provenance of which becomes very vague. Indeed, has China or India always been the
same China or India? This is what we find most often in this collection. The alternative is to view the world as a system of relations in which the
units are historically formed by the processes through which the relations are reproduced over time. These relations then become the unit of analysis
and the units the observables. In this way capitalism as a system achieves a historical specificity, here treated as problematic.
In all, this book represents a fine appreciation of the work of Andre Gunder Frank and the many directions that scholars have taken in
benefiting from his insights. More importantly, the debates in which Frank appeared as such a committed protagonist and that shine through in these articles are still important; indeed, they are part of the struggle for a more equitable world, a more egalitarian society, or the left vision of
the world that Wallerstein (p. xix) attributed to this remarkable scholar and human being.
Call for papers: Religious pathways to better futures
Conference of African Studies Association Germany (VAD), Bayreuth University, June 11-14 2014,panel 32
Papers are welcome until the 17th of November 2013
Please send your abstracts to the panel convenors and to the conference organizers:vad.bayreuth2014@gmail.com

Religious groups in Africa are not only an important source of imaginations of the future they are also remarkably active in their efforts to realize them. Thereby different religious groups articulate quite different visions on the future of their society, of Africa, the world or of mankind and follow different ways to pursue their goals: Some groups might opt for public prayers, some for violence, some see in education the best way to realize their visions, some form political parties, and still others search for support in transnational networks or establish faith-based-organizations and try to link their future imaginaries to those of the donors in the world of development. To approach the expected future and to change society in their spirit, most religious groups act publicly and enter national and transnational spheres where other actors, ideas and interest are already present. Thus,looking at differing religious visions on the future and at the ways they are translated into practice, raises questions about the forms of public religion and interest articulation in a national and transnational setting as well as questions about religious diversity within a society.
The panel invites speakers to present empirical studies of religious groups and the futures they propose/expect, and to address especially the ways these groups follow to attain their goals. Considering the issues of change, of the plurality of visions and ways and of national/transnational public religions, we would like to discuss questions such as:
How do « religious futures » look like and what are the religious concepts of man, society and the world that allow for « religious engineering »?
To what extent do shared religious visions of the future provide a basis for forming a religious group in the first place (e.g. in migration or development contexts)? What are the contexts in which religious concepts of the future flourish?
Is there a connection between the kind of future that is imagined and the instruments chosen for its realization? When do groups for example focus on local, when on
transnational activities?
Do religious visions of the future change as actors make them public, struggle with the challenges of their implementation and encounter other visions within a pluralistic context?
How do activities of different religious groups connect or conflict with each other, as well as with political activities or with those of national / international development organizations?
What are the consequences of national and transnational competition or cooperation between several (religious and non-religious) versions of the future and ways of implementation?
How do groups deal with the plurality of universalisms in the world and how wide is the scope for multiple futures in a given society?
