Mercredi 7 mai, on croise les trajectoires d'Omar Blondin Diop et Stokely Carmichael, à l'ENS, 18-20h. Avec Florian Bobin, tout juste arrivé de Dakar, et en présence du fils de Carmichael, Bokar Biro Ture, qui viendra exprès de Conakry pour nous parler de ses archives.

A new article, with @jasonkstearns, in @ForeignPolicy, about the risk of a regional escalation of the war, how Congolese are stuck between an ineffective government and a predatory neighbour, and particularly how Rwanda is in there for the long haul. foreignpolicy.com/2025/02/28…

Notre blog avec @sperazzone. “Les archives sont porteuses de la violence du passé colonial mais aussi d’une potentielle postérité anticoloniale, à condition d’être radicalement réorganisées autour d’une exigence de justice et d’accessibilité.” afriquexxi.info/Le-regard-de…

With @sperazzone we reflect on the violence and potential of the colonial archives. What if the archive was designed to speak to the needs and desires of diaspora and Congolese communities? Could this be the beginning of an anti-colonial, living archive?
Colonial archives hold the violence of the past, but they also carry the potential for anti-colonial futures—if radically reimagined for justice and accessibility. africasacountry.com/2025/02/…

Rising above Johannesburg, Ponte Tower is an icon of the city's skyline and history.
Once a symbol of luxury, later a site of decline, and now a space of renewal, it embodies the shifts of urban life in South Africa.
A dystopian brutalist design with a vibrant community life.

Our paper on the structural nature of DFV now has a home. Drawing on research with the Federation of Community Legal Centres in Australia, we argue that a distinction needs to be made between what is genuinely structural change and what is system reform. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
