La muséologie au musée du Quai Branly

Durant la seva conferència Germain Viatte, director del projecte museològic del Museu Quai Branly, va presentar la història d'aquest projecte i les opcions per les que va apostar l'equip que reunia conservadors (procedents majoritàriament dels establiments sobre la base dels quals es va fundar el museu, és a dir el Museu de l’Home i el museu nacional de les arts d'Àfrica i Oceania), programadors i arquitectes (taller Jean Nouvel). Posa èmfasi en el treball realitzat en les col•leccions (digitalització dels arxius i informatització completa dels fons), les decisions preses per a la presentació de les obres (evidenciant les qualitats plàstiques i la informació multimèdia sobre els contextos), així com les preses per Jean Nouvel. Subratlla la importància de l'acció cultural (teatre Lévi-Strauss i exposicions) i la col•laboració del sector d’Investigació i Ensenyament amb la Mediateca.

Potential Demand for a New Value-Added Cowpea Product as Measured by the Willingness-to-Pay for Cowpea Flour in West Africa

The objective of this paper is to assess the potential demand for a new value-added cowpea product – cowpea flour for purchase by women street food vendors. We use a non-hypothetical real purchase decision mechanism that involves real purchase exchanges of 1 kg packages of cowpea flour in a real market environment in Niamey, Niger. Completed market transactions were bounded between an upper and lower limit price. Our results indicate that kossai vendors’ willingness-to-pay (WTP) for 1kg of cowpea flour exceeds the costs of production including a retail margin. Differences in WTP averages for different groups of vendors (economic status, vendor processor type and scale of production) were found to be statistically significant. Potential exists for profitable entrepreneurial activity in the cowpea flour business targeting women street vendors from more affluent neighborhoods; those using the wet milling process and those who are medium and large scale vendors.Agribusiness, Demand and Price Analysis, Food Security and Poverty, International Development, Willingness-to-Pay, Real Purchase decision mechanism, Cowpea-based street foods,
