Introduction: Gender Knowledge: Epistemological and Empirical Contributions from the Global South
Womenâs and gender studies are now accepted academic subjects in many Global South countries, whether the field is well establishedâeven institutionalizedâor still emerging. However, this phenomenon is under-studied, even though the history, ideas, and key concepts of womenâs, feminist, and gender studies are becoming well documented in Europe and America (Lagrave; Brown; Bard; Clair and Heinen). This special edition therefore aims to shed light on knowledge production about women and gender in and by Southern countries, and not about these countries, as is often the case. On the one hand, this edition brings out the local, regional and global dynamics of gender knowledge production and circulation and, on the other hand, it focuses on the content of this knowledge and highlights its specificities (or lack thereof) at the theoretical and epistemological levels. Bringing together Northern and Southern feminist researchers, both junior and senior, offers an empirical and decentered analysis of gender knowledge production âfrom the marginsâ (hooks)

« Who are African politicians ? »
International audienceSince the 1990s, the African continent has been marked by major changes such as economic reforms or democratization. But we still know very little about male and female politicians who have succeeded the leaders of independence. Available data and researches are uneven across parts of the African continent. This panel aims to identify who are the current African politicians. It will focus on elected and partisan political figures (members of council, parliament, government or party) from any African country. Three points will be given priority:- First, we expect proposals analysing the socio-biographical characteristics of African politicians, and its evolution. Studies based on quantitative methods or on prosopography will offer data on the profile of former or current politicians (i.e. gender, age, marital status, degrees, profession, activism, partisan affiliation, family background etc.). Did literate male elites of independence disappear in favour of other categories of population (such as women, traders,slaves or religious)? Is there prevailing political figures across times? Under which conditions some changes have occured?- Secondly, we will focus on political careers. How do politicians enter politics, and carve out a career? Are they based on individual or collective (family, party-delegated, etc.), national or international capital? Are they professional politicians?- Finally, we will debate methodological issues. How to do research on African political staff?What sources are available? How to analyse some public and private writings (official publishing, biographies, memoirs, etc.)? What obstacles do researchers face to produce statistics, or prosopography
La couverture mĂ©diatique du Collectif des femmes de Thiaroye-sur-Mer (Dakar- SĂ©nĂ©gal) : lâicĂŽne de la « mĂšre courage », une mise en abĂźme du discours produit au Nord sur la migration du Sud
International audienceCet article se propose Ă partir dâune revue de presse internationale dâexaminer les causes du succĂšs mĂ©diatique du Collectif des femmes pour la lutte contre lâimmigration clandestine de Thiaroye-sur-Mer, mais Ă©galement de dĂ©finir la nature du contenu mĂ©diatique dont il a fait lâobjet. Lâanalyse sĂ©mantique du traitement mĂ©diatique est rĂ©vĂ©latrice dâune Ă©criture journalistique homogĂ©nĂ©isante et stĂ©rĂ©otypĂ©e Ă propos des femmes africaines et de la migration. Les femmes de Thiaroye sont ainsi dĂ©peintes sous le prisme dâune figure genrĂ©e, la « mĂšre courage », Ă mi-chemin entre la victime, la coupable et la pasionaria. Les migrants clandestins, quant Ă eux, qualifiĂ©s dâ « aventuriers » ou de « misĂ©reux » sont abordĂ©s sous le double registre de lâassentiment et de la rĂ©probation morale
