    Héritage colonial et appropriation du « pouvoir d’éduquer »

    No full text
    This article analyses over the long term the construction of what we call the “power to educate” and the organisation of ‘the school’ in the Republic Democratic of Congo, that is to say the school field. This article aims to identify the agents, institutions, logics, and strategies which have produced the institution of the school since the time of the Congo Free State, and especially since 1908, under the colony proper. Previous studies have emphasized the weakness and progressive breakup of relations between the Catholic Church and the state during and after the colonial era, which have contributed to the independence of the field of education. Taking a different approach, this article aims to highlight the school’s powerful rootedness in, and appropriation by, the history of the power to educate in the Congo

    Héritage colonial et appropriation du « pouvoir d’éduquer »

    Cet article examine dans la longue période la construction du « pouvoir d’éduquer » et l’organisation de l’école au Congo, soit le champ scolaire. Il s’agit d’identifier les acteurs, les institutions, les logiques, et les stratégies qui ont produit l’école dès l’État indépendant du Congo, et surtout depuis 1908, sous la colonie proprement dite. Des travaux antérieurs ont eu tendance à mettre en avant la fragilité des relations entre l’Église et l’État à l’époque coloniale et leur progressive désintégration qui ont facilité l’indépendance dans le champ scolaire. Contrairement à ces analyses, cet article vise à souligner l’ancrage puissant de l’appropriation scolaire dans et par l’histoire congolaise du pouvoir d’éduquer.This article analyses over the long term the construction of what we call the “power to educate” and the organisation of ‘the school’ in the Republic Democratic of Congo, that is to say the school field.

    Colonial Heritage, Resilience and Hybridity of the Congolese School (RDC) This contribution attempts to grasp the mechanisms that explain the resilience of the Congolese primary education despite the thirty-five years crisis that continues to affect the Democratic Republic of Congo and the almost complete lack of public investment in this sector since the early eighties. The central argument stresses the need to explain such mechanisms beyond the effects of privatization only. It particularly emphasizes the arrangements made within the education system, documenting their historical roots, and arguing that they are ultimately founded on the “concessionary” state structure that prevailed in colonial times.Ce texte tente de comprendre la pérennité de l’école primaire congolaise en dépit de la crise qui a marqué le pays pendant plus de 35 ans et en l’absence presque totale d’investissement public depuis les années 1980. Au-delà d’une lecture qui voit dans la résilience du champ scolaire congolais les effets de sa privatisation, ce texte analyse plutôt les arrangements contemporains du système scolaire à la lumière de son héritage. La survie du champ scolaire congolais repose sur une continuité d’arrangements qui sont en dernière instance fondés sur le modèle de l’État concessionnaire de la période coloniale
