Full textThe following research deals with scuth-cameroon woman in town, an extratraditional spheres. Her various reactions show her dynamism, and leads to a sort of slow but real destruction of traditionnal society. This masterpiece consists of three main part; it deals with only the peasan woman from the important tribes of this sug-region, tribes which ares mostly found in yaounde, such as beti, boulou, bassa, douala, bamoun, ko'ozime. This study will not have to do with the highly placed woman of liberal occupations, although they undergo the same problems. The first part deals with the socio-juridic, economic and traditional statuts of the woman in south camercon communities. It is the question of this objective study aiming at bringing out the must constraint and traumatizing characteristins, at the expense of the woman or those in her faboiur or glory. This part brings out the political omnipotence caused by its presence among lineage, clans, tribes either friends or enemies. It also studies her traditionnal economic status. The second part concerns the urbanisation of south-cameroon and native woman. Ttsstudies the various psycho-social and economic mutations of this woman. In urban areas. It deals with women's rural exodus, their education at school and so on. . . ; their salaries, christian religions, it ends by a chapter dealing with new town woman in mbalmayo and sangmelina, two medium size in south cameroon. .

Full textOur work set out to check if the practices homogenized the social representation we thought that this hypothesis would be confirmed if we encountered different representations of the cocoa planter in two groups wich can only be told from one another in that they do or do not work on cocoa. In this work, we resorted to three methods : interviews, projective plates and a test on the centrality of the elements of the representation. The analysis of the contents of the interviews has shown that the representation was identical in two groups. The analysis of the projective plates has brought to light the unicity of the representation. This has been confirmed by the test of centrality of the elements of the representation, wich has permitted to bring out the structuring nucleus of this representation. Although the ocerall hypothesis of our work has been invalited, it has nervetheless allowed us to realize that the central nucleus of the representation is elastic and this very elasticity can be found in each one of its constituent elements

Full textThe purpose of this study is to describe the conditions of women in rural areas cameroon, who are those women ? What are their responsabilities ? And what problems they face in their work ? Our attention is focused on the regional differences in the status of women, their work, in traditional and modern societies. Our work is partially based on the data collected during afield-work researsh that we conducted in two villages, nlong and fontsa-toula. The natural conditions, the basic activities of the population, and the existing social organisation influence the sexual division of labour, land allocation, and the nature of feminine associations. This socio-cultural web will again influence the peasant activities today, our field data in nlong (eton's country, south central province) and fontsa-toula (bamileke's country western province) will confirm this hypothesis. It is essentially in the field of production, marketing of crops, and use of money, that we reveal the difference of strategies adopted by women in these two villages. It is true that the cultural back-ground of peasant women is adeterminant factor in analysis, nevertheless, we realize that if the problems of peasant women are accentuated because they are women, they joined also these of agricultural development in cameroon, and the rural world in general. Sexe is adiscriminating factor in : land allocation, mangement of domestic production and time use. . . .

Full textThe region of Sanaga Maritime is crossed by the river Sanaga. There are numerous waterfalls ail across this territory. It is therefore an agricultural region by nature. The early construction of two hydroelectric barrages at Edea and Songloulou respectively, made it the most industralized region of Cameroon. Before colonization, the Mbenes, inhabitants of the Sanaga Maritime region were depended for their living on agriculture, hunting and fisching. After decolonisation, and finally after the take over of the economic and social sector by the nationals, there followed an immediate decline in the development of the region. The purpose of this research is to analyse all the stages of these social changes, suggesting solutions

Full textThe thrust of this study is whether business enterprises can adapt to human rights. In other words, can we say that the specific needs of the business world stamp their mark on the nature or the regulations of basic human rights? This issue is examined from two angles in this study. Firstly, business enterprises can be viewed more and more as subject to human rights in the same way as a natural person because of their status. Consequently, they can equally cite to their advantage the applicability of standards relating to human rights. However, it is not always certain that the special nature of certain human rights, highly attached to the human being, may really find a favourable ground when the one citing it is a business concern. But this does not at all detract from the interest of this issue. Secondly, the issue is less discussed when we have to consider the business concern as a framework for the exercise of human rights. In this respect, it is considered that human rights must not be left at the doorstep of business concerns and that the different basic laws on salaried employees and citizen workers must be equally guaranteed here. But this does not rule out the fact that some of these laws may be affected due to the need to protect the interest of business enterprises. Up to this point, the sacred nature of these laws only authorizes such infringements on the condition that they are absolutely necessary and proportionate to the desired goal. It seems such is the issue of the relations between business enterprises and human rights in French and Cameroonian Law. But there are many differences concerning the effectivity of the law in the two countries. The situation is better in French system comparating to Cameroonian Law

Full textThe decline in fertility noticeable in several countries in sub-Saharan Africa from the end of the 1980s is happening at différent rhythms within différent social categories of populations. In nearly all countries, the most striking différences can be seen between urban and rural zones, with sharply higher transition speeds in African capitals. Cameroon is not immune to these demographic changes and its two large metropolises--Yaoundé and Douala--are among the sub-Saharan African regions that have advanced the furthest in the fertility transition process. What influence did the economic crisis announced in 1987 have? To what extent did the socio-economic trajectories of men and women characterised by long-term unemployment and the stability of poor and medium-income social categories influence the fertility schedule? What role did the social and economic development during the period of strong economic growth play? This research attempts to answer these questions using an original database that documents the life courses of men and women born between 1942 and 1971

Full textWhat does living at Douala mean ? It means being and also doing. The Doualais is the outcome of the specific social imaginary belongs to, which consists of a system of symbolic references and of "episteme" (the logic that relates the various references to one another), and which is a sort of matrix for the perception and conception of daily life, bringing sense to every occurrence, thought, dream or sensation. He is the outcome of ambition, his own ambition to reach a social status which by assigning him a function and an image, provides him with identity, goals, and eventually reasons for living ; and the outcome of an economic and social background, the depression, which by defining the means, upsets his conquest of a social status of forces him to react more than he used to do. So, living at Douala, is acting, inventing strategies as the man you are and as the man you would like to become, but all this not a priori make up a consistent whole, it falls short of one's expectations and does not show one the way. The "Doualais" is a man full of conflicts who tries as far as he can, according to his own imaginary values to reconcile these various strategies and adapt them to the economic and social background, to his ambition and obligations, and to the image he has developed of himself and the society in which he lives. To live at Douala, you have to solve and overcome this conflict ; you have to be an actor of your own life

Full textWhy don't Camerouun rural households refer to microfinance institutions for their financial services needs ? Why are social exprenses so important in their budget ? These questions are relevant to the atypic financial behavior of rural households, as regarding the microfinance and rural development actions. They suggested this thesis on rural financial behavior, and the demand side approach based on households personal characteristics. The objective is to show the rationality underlying their financial choices. Based on the househoulds economic portofolio model, empirical analysis to characterize households was developped, then a theoretical analysis to explain the observed behavior was conducted. The results are sumarized in five main points : 1 - households are rational in the sense of "Homo Africanus" ; 2 - their level of education and existence of secondary activities, together with social objectives to meet their basic needs, act to motivate and interest in financial institutions ; 3 - general poverty and precarity exclude many households from financial institutions, depending however on educational level, activities, size of household and sex, women are worst off ; 4 - the demand for savings, insurance, specific production and social needs'credit is not covered by local informal structures, leaving rural households in "financial disarray" ; 5 - very few rural people have knowledge on microfinance institutions, the later are more located in urban areas where their clients allow for higher returns. The fex institutions that operate in rural areas have benefitted of subsidies to launch the program, as is the case anywhay all over the world. The thesis comes to the conclusion that low financial deepending and households'personal characteristics are the reasons why supply and demand for financial services seldom meet

Full textSelf settlement and construction process namely the individual and or family involvment in building urban shelters for their own use has been the conventional approach and explanation for the haphazard and uncontrolled urbanization process which provides a substantial amount of housing supply in the African cities. A day to day study case of shelters construction on land whose tenure arrangements are haphazard and often illegal in Douala (Cameroon) and Kinshasa (Zairo) stresses that the above approach is largely irrelevant. Housing for the poor are built by masons and craftmen belonging to the so called informal sector of the urban economy, under the control of individual with lower middle incomes to invest in the construction of houses for the poorer people. The analysis of the householders strategies also stresses the importance of the renting use of the shelters at the very beginning of the individual projects. A selective litterature review on that matter in other cities of western Africa confirms this analysis and justifies a redefinition of the housing projects previously based on the self construction paradigm i. E. Sites and services world bank projects for example. This redefinition necessitates a better understanding of the "informal sector" of housing construction for the poor ; the householders socio-economical characteristics and strategies have also to be taken into account due to their importance in the housing supply production for the poor. It appear that the concrete (cement) block plays a key role in their private strategies in western and central African cities

Full textAs part of the country’s colonial legacy, Cameroonian’s university system is widely established on Western foundations. German, English and French colonialists provided the background knowledge from which everything has developed till nowadays. Faculty members were for a long time foreigners before they become Cameroonians as part of the growing autonomy of the institution. This personel basically comes from the lower classes and has benefited of scholarships to study abroad. Cameroonians scholars therefore are multipositional but do not enjoy suitable working conditions. Their intellectual freedom is sometimes jeopardized by political influences which, moreover, seek to instrumentalize them. The university system is broadly divided into seven state universities which basically expose their western affiliation. Cameroon’s state universities are considered peripheral, regarding western universities as central and paradigmatic. The system therefore does not correspond to local realities and does not meet the needs and goals of nation building. It is laid under mimicry of western curricula and fetishism of occidental knowledge

Full textThrough a case study analysis of the cameroonian capital of Yaounde, this thesis aims to reveal the way "of be-in-the-world" of the African townsmen and the direction which they give to their life during this time of crisis. Thus, it underlines the modalities of the brutal transition from "the urbanity of revenue" to "the urbanity of crisis" which represents for many individuals a "descent into Hell". It also shows that the post-colonial African city is not a product of importation : behind the illusory signs of acculturation generally hides, a mode of appropriation or social regulation, or a significance quite specific to the local imaginary. The adopted geographical process, which involves a detailed comprehension of the relevant socio-political and cultural phenomenon, privileges the observation of the everyday life and lived spaces. With this micro-geographical approach, the town territories are examined according to three registers thus reconstituting their principal facets (from the visible to the hidden): morphologies, temporalities and mobilities. Lastly, the thesis seeks the déterminants and constraints of these lived space in the collective behaviors of existence and emotion

Full textRapid urban growth in a developing country like cameroon brings about numerous and diverse transport problems. In this connexion, the specific case of the city of douala, which, through its dynamism, is asserting itself as the economic capital of the country, is very significant. The city has been overwhelmed by its own growth, characterized by a contrast in the distribution of infrastructure throughout the various neighbourhoods. Thus, unlike the suburbs which are known for their sporadic settlements and which are poorly provided with infrastructure, the citycentre and its peripheries, for their part, are equipped with a network of tarred roads, water, electricity and telecommunications, garbage collectioin, sanitation and drainage, health and education services, markets, etc. . . Most city-dwellers, whose incomes are low, hafe no choice but to walk, especially now that the urban transport corporation which was set up to cater to the needs of the poor, is facing very serious problems : shortage as well as poor condition of buses and roads, stiff competition from taxis, but also, and especially, from unauthorized transporters using their personal cars and or moto-cycles. The result is utter chaos in the city's traffic. It is a fact that the 1983 urban development master plan makes provision for a transport and traffic plan, but it has been difficult to translate it into fact because of the general economic recession.

Full textThe growing rate of female-headed households has raised the question of women's residential autonomy as a field of research. This thesis sheds light on the debates surrounding this issue and seeks to highlight the social and familial content covered by the statistical category'female-headed households'. The analysis is founded on two complementary methodological approaches and exploits the quantitative data available on the country studied, Cameroon (1975 and 1987 census figures; DHS - Demographic and Health Survey for 1991 and 1998) and a semi-qualitative biographical survey, which made it possible to step outside the statistical categories that have limited understanding of female-headed households in quantitative data. Results: The statistical category Temale-headed household' is made up of a heterogeneous and fluctuating population of women faced with varied forms of single motherhood and an independence that is as constructive as it is unsettling. Overall, residential independence still remains closely tied to widowhood, although in urban metropolises an extended period of single life has outstripped all other factors. Countrywide, official forms of polygamy rarely grant women the status of head of household. Above the age of 30, women heads of household are above all single parents (70% of mothers), although infertility is also a decisive factor. This thesis produces analytical criteria for the comparative study of women's status, single motherhood, and the family composition of households using DHS data. Relational treatment of factual biographic data allowed the classification of life paths, leading to the clarification of female residential independence cycles

Full textThis thesis studies the economic orientation operated by the German and French colonial administrations in East Cameroon as far back as 1905. The region presented a new face beginning from the time she was introduced into the European capitalist system. The exploitation instated in the region was based on compulsory work. This system raised the mortality rate in the region and caused many resistances of the local populations. The country was handed to France by the League of Nations after the First World War and the system of exploitation remained unchanged , even if colonial administrators had very mixed feelings, being divided between the budgetary concerns and the consciousness of the excessive weight exercised by the system on the population. This situation continued until the publication of the code regulating the work in French overseas territories in 1952. The predatory forms of exploitation observed today in the region date from colonial period and have confined the populations in an economy of "improvisation"

Full textThe goal of my work was to show the actions of Cameroonian government in the economic and social development in East Cameroon from 1960 to 2010. This said, from her accession to independence in 1960, the young state of Cameroon had to be accomplished, affirmed and became master of her destiny. On the political domain, political instability reigned in several regions of the country. At the economic level, the Cameroonian authorities mobilized themselves to develop the country and to make it an environment of prosperity. This came about by the putting in place a policy of an economic, social and cultural development through an indicative type of planification. This Cameroonian political planification of development was an instrument of organization, of orientation and the animation of economic and social development. East Cameroon, a poor parent in matters of development had benefited from some developmental projects which were in contrast with the potentialities of the region. As for the government, the challengers were many to overcome so as to bring out the region from under development to reduce poverty. To this effect, the idea of reflection that was received was possible only it they remained in line with aspirations of the government constructed to attain the objectives of development. The results obtained were contrasted at different levels. The development envisaged in the East of Cameroon is in accordance to the participation of the region to the economic growth

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to determine the constituent elements of the collective identity of the Hausa tradesmen and craftsmen settled in the Peul Kingdom of Garoua (Northern Cameroon), and also to determine the factors which have favoured, or on the contrary hindered, the integration of this community into the Garoua and "Grand-Nord" society, moreover into the Cameroonian nation. The study of the identity of the Hausa of Garoua requires the prior study of the Hausa people's identity, through its origins, heterogeneous, its founding myth, through to the social, political and economic organisation of the "Hausa land". The specific identity of the Hausa of Garoua and Northern Cameroon and consequently to their membership of a huge diaspora. The second part is devoted to the study of socio-cultural components of the Hausa identity, as revealed by the fieldwork, specially through the examination of the main patterns and poles of socialisation : the family, the professional guilds and the Muslim community. The last part opens with the presentation of the two geo-socio--politics spaces : Garoua and the "Grand-Nord" on the one hand, the Cameroonian nation on the other hand, within which the Huasa community had to become integrated. An integration that was successful in the first space, although within the limits set by the Peul aristocracy ; but difficult in the second space because of, at once, the state's partiality and the Hausa's reticence facing modernity values

Full textThis thesis analyzes, through the case of Cameroon, the transformations of the social link in sub-Saharan Africa, in a context where the juridico-normative modernity embodied by the universalism of human rights is transforming the social space so as to leave more room to individual choices by loosening community constraints. It is based on a qualitative research with fieldwork carried out in the city of Douala in Cameroon during which thirty life stories of men and women of twenty five years and above were collected. The analysis of the contents of these biographies reveals the complexity of the reconfiguration of the lifestyles whereby, with the advent of human rights discourses, individuals fashion original forms of individualization. These are very different from the loose autonomy that the ideology of human rights confers to the abstract notion of individual and to concepts of rationality and individualism whose universal relevance as categories of thought are taken for granted. This thesis shows how, in sub-Saharan African societies, the consciousness of human rights involving self-consciousness challenges community rules and ascribed identities. However, this does not implies the rejection of the communitarian framework, but rather the evolvement of an individual who manages to forge a place as a subject of rights within a hierarchical and constraining communitarian system. The consciousness of human rights infers a process of individualization in which the individual longing for his/her rights and for a chosen identity constantly navigates between allegiance to community rules and self-fulfillment. It is an individual who asserts himself and assumes more and more responsibility for his/her choices, but at the same time take responsibility for the future communal relationships which are essential to his/her life; because these relationships bring him/her material support, recognition and social integration. Individualization is negotiated without breaking down the dialectics between individual and society, between tradition and modernity, between the subject of the law and community subject in an environment subjected to the dynamics of a singular modernity.

Full textThis work considers physical mobilities and wireless telecommunication as a resource, because they help people to construct, organize and adapt livelihoods to the new conditions that may arise. According to Robert Chambers and Gordon Conway (1991), rural livelihoods generally comprise several activities like cultivation, hunting, wage labour, trading, offering services in transport, etc. These activities variously provide food, cash and other goods to satisfy human needs. The activities form a system of places that are used on a regular basis. In case of chocs or opportunity, individuals have to leave certain activities and adopt others that are less exposed to risks and more profitable. In other terms, they arrange differently their living space in the sense that they stop using certain places and start using others. Michel Lussault (2007; 2003) calls “spatiality” the ability of an individual to adjust his geographical position, as well as the position of his activities, in order to meet his proper objectives

Full textThe objective of this work is to evaluate the performance of the banking system of CEMAC countries from 1993 to 2008. We capture the internal performance of the bank through the technical efficiency of banking firms. We measure this, using non-parametric approaches of production frontier models, while considering credit as the output of the banking industry. Using the MALMQUIST decomposition index, we observe that banks in the zone have quite different scores, even if globally they have a better scale efficiency. The analysis of the externalities of financial services is limited to Cameroon only. We evaluate this through the impact of micro-credits on the standard of living of the beneficiary households within the framework of monetary poverty and multi-dimensional poverty reduction. The results show that the change in households’ incomes is determined by what the loans are used for and by environmental factors

Full textThis thesis examines the architectural identity dynamics and practices among the Podokwo, Muktele and Mura of the mounts Mandara (Cameroon). It is organized around the assumption that practical and functional logic that guide the construction, the extension and the transformation of house evolves in tandem with symbolic considerations, such as the production of ethnic distinctions (Hodder, 1982) and the quest of social prestige within the community (Duncan, 1982; Roux, 1976). Based on the approach developed by authors like Ian Hodder (2012, 2006, 1999, 1982), Daniel Miller (2010, 2007, 2005, 2001, 1987) and Christophey Tilley (2010, 2006, 2004, 2002, 1999), I argue that the house, through its multi-purpose uses, can become an active agent for the production of identity belonging, both at a societal and individual level (Bromberger, 1980). For this reason, I have focused my attention not only on what people do with the house, but also on how the house that people built, built also people (Miller 2001: 119). I have also focused my analysis on several key moments of the history of Podokwo, Muktele and Mura such as the plain downhill (1963), the rural exodus and civil service (1980) and the democratic transition (1990) that affect the architectural practices and the identity discourses which are its corollaries.

This fact results in the crushing down of native particularisms to the benefit of central power. This phenomenon explains why the book has been into four sections : - the first section is a survey of the various missions wich have been endowed to official media. - the second section deals with the assessment of the place occupied by the rural communities in official media. - based on a survey carried out in a rural environment (the babimbi country), the third section is an attempt to answer two central questions. - the four section is a prospective analysis. It leads towards a reflexion about the necessity to invent a media-based education for rural people

Full textThe Tikar plain and its mountainous environment: territorial restructuring and spatial crisisTerritorial restructuring in central and western Cameroon, that refers to the Bamoun sultanate and the lamido of Banyo territories extension and the administrative division of the national territory which involved the spoliation of Tikar space, can be regarded as indicator of a spatial crisis. When these territorial restructuring do not cause the natives invasion and marginalization, the milieu evolves in homeostasy mode as in Nditam or Ngila where the natives preserved the essential features of their agropastoral civilizations and kept emotional ties which their space. But when the major socio-economic and spatial restructuring take place, with the space, land and kingdoms transfers to strangers, as in Magba or around the Mapé Dam, are observed the real ecological crises whose causes are not only those traditionally advanced: climate, soil, high slope, pastoralism, bush burn (fire), forestry exploitation, demography pressure etc. The Tikar space crises reveals the end of its territory

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research has used a critical discourse analysis approach encompassing postcolonial theory and theory of media effects in order to investigate the influence of political discourse in the media upon youth’s violence in Cameroon. As a result it has been found that the use of private violence by young people in urban cities has become ordinary. Such an attitude reflects among other some aspects of youth’s lifestyle designed to cope with the hardship of their social status and to resist the elite’s dominance. While no counter-narrative has been found in the independent publications about the portrayal of youth’s violence as criminal by the state-owned press, the young people nevertheless have produced through a street culture a narrative deconstructing the political discourse in the media and highlighting their grievances in a more or less violent tone. Thus the use of private violence during the riot in February 2008, is far from an isolated (re)action of angry young people , it obeys the very practicality of their existence and the political turmoil it might cause is incidental to the way of life in which it is embedded.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die navorsing het ‘n kritiese diskoers analise-benadering gebruik wat ‘n postkoloniale teorie en ‘n teorie van media-effekte insluit om sodoende die invloed van politieke diskoers in die media op jeuggeweld in Kameroen, te ondersoek. Daar is gevolglik gevind dat die gebruik van private geweld deur jongmense in stedelike gebiede normaal geword het. So ‘n houding reflekteer onder andere sommige aspekte van die jeug se leefstyl wat ontwerp is om die ontbering van hul sosiale status te hanteer en ook die elite se dominasie te weerstaan. Ofskoon geen teen-narratief sover gevind is in die onafhanklike publikasies oor die uitbeelding van jeuggeweld as krimineel en die publikasies van die staatsbeheerde pers wat die jeug uitbeeld met min agentskap nie, het jongmense wel ‘n teen-narratief geskep deur ‘n straat-kultuur. Hierdie teen-narratief dekonstruktueer die politieke diskoers in die media en onderstreep hul griewe in ‘n geweldadige toon. Dus die gebruik van private geweld gedurende die onluste in Februarie 2008, wat nie as ‘n geïsoleerde (re)aksie van woedende jongmense gesien kan word nie, is getrou aan die wese van hulle bestaan en die politieke onrus wat dit moontlik mag veroorsaak, is bykomstig tot die leefstyl waarin dit vasgelê is.”

Full textThe 1745 insurrection gave rise to intense propaganda on the Hanoverian side, in this context, the character of Jenny Cameron first appeared as an anti-Jacobite weapon. Variously described as a formidable Amazon or as the Young Pretender's mistress, it was loosely based on a real woman, Jean Cameron, daughter of a cadet familly of Cameron of Lochiel's. As factor to her paralytic brother, she raised men in Morven, then attented the raising of the Stuart standard on 19th August 1745. Jenny Cameron will be approached as a representation. In its most tangible dimension, the term refers to an object, the artefact. The study of the cultural success of the works mentioning Jenny Cameron reveals two stages, a boom in 1745-1746 followed by a marginalisation of the character up to 1800. As a symbolic process, the representation of Jenny Cameron brings to light the way the character was incorporated into the system of thought peculiar to 18th-centur- Britain. In that respect, she contributed to etablish the otherness of particular groups or characters, as well as to exclude Jacobite women from History, and, more generally, women froms politics. At each stage of the analysis, the representations of Jenny Cameron will be compared to those of three other women who took part in the rising – the Duchess of Perth, Lady Ogilvy and Flora Macdonald – so as to bring into relief the specificity of the former

Full textThe research relates to urban workers in Cameroon. As part of a theoretical inquiry, the manner in which we produce was given a fresh approach, in a new conception of work. To that end, the author has moved away from the tenets of the sociology of work to consider the city as a unit of production of useful services. That made it possible to widen the analysis in terms of work relations and grasp the dynamics of conflict, domination and exploitation, and also of change in the activities covered. The analysis is focussed on the forms employed in urban trades in Cameroon, by showing their characteristics. The decision to give that examination a historical perspective has made it possible to show that some trades have acquired a structuring role in the urban relations of production in Cameroon. That is true of the taxi services trade, which occupies a hegemonic place. Without being anachronistic or ethnocentric, it would appear that this area of work plays the part played by small artisans in English urban centres during the emergence of industrial capitalism in that country as described so well by E.P. Thompson. With their collective industry institutions, these workers have had a structuring role in the transformation of relations with work, and have provided leadership in social struggles. This ethnographic study in Yaoundé took place in a social atmosphere of apparent stability. Indeed, from the people’s protest movements of ‘dead cities’ in the early 1990s to the ‘hunger riots’ in 2008, Cameroon was experiencing a situation of permanent insurrection. When the author toured the country in 2010, the protests seem to have died down. That was certainly a forced break, in the face of violent repression by the government. The field work was therefore carried out during that apparent lull in 2010-2011, 2012 and 2015.The aim was to study the issue of the work and social reproduction of urban workers in Cameroon. What are its forms and determinants ? How has it changed in the course of the years since the start of development under colonial rule up to the contemporary period of structural adjustment ? How do the people get organised when they are excluded from the system of ordinary law ? The author believes that to address those questions, it is of relevance to use a sociohistorical approach that articulates work relations of class, race, gender and also generation

Full textOver the last decade, many Western countries have seen their public spheres populated by the collaborative, open and shared manufacturing spaces, broadly known as makerspaces. Often described as vehicles of social change and industrialization, the idea of makerspaces has been rapidly exported from the West to the rest of the world and in Africa specifically. Regarding this expansion, I wondered about the societal purposes and neutrality of these collaborative spaces in the African context. Prior to address these questions, it is important to establish a common framework understand the socio-historical and economic context of Africa. That is why, inspired by decolonial studies, I have drawn a conceptual framework consisting of technocoloniality and sustainable local development. In order to do so, I first deconstructed the current dominant paradigm of development approaches, namely the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Then, in the light of the work on cognitive justice, I reconstructed and presented the idea of sustainable local development as relevant for Africa, and as an alternative to SDGs. The dimensions of sustainable local development are : the quest for cognitive justice, the informal economy, common goods, inclusion and empowerment, African alternative thinking and social innovation. Then, on the basis of coloniality and the colonial matrix of power, I presented the idea of technocoloniality and its dimensions which are: techno-utopic discourse, neo-capitalist practices and the coloniality of knowledge linked to technology transfer. This conceptual framework allowed me to refine my questioning in the following research question: to what kind of development do makerspaces contribute in Francophone Africa? Specifically, the question is whether collaborative spaces can really contribute to sustainable local development in Africa or whether they contribute to strengthening technocoloniality. To answer these questions, I conducted three case studies in Francophone Africa: the Ouagalab in Burkina Faso, the Ongola Fablab in Cameroon and the Defko Ak Niep Lab in Senegal. For each case, I collected data using a combination of three methods: participant observation, semi-structuredi nterviews with makerspaces members and promoters, and content analysis. After processing data, I conducted a qualitative analysis using Nvivo software. The different categories of my analysis were then compared and interpreted using the previously constructed conceptual framework. My study revealed that makerspaces are commons that fight against cognitive injustice, ensure the flowering of knowledge, promote inclusion and empowerment of members, and catalyse social innovation. In other words, the dynamics within collaborative manufacturing spaces are highly conducive to sustainable local development. Above all, makerspaces display women's dynamism and leadership, since they allow them to fight injustices and biases they used to face in the society and places related to STEM (Science-Technology- Engineering and Mathematics). However, the management of makerspaces as an entity is highly exposed to technocoloniality. This severely hinders the internal dynamics and thus their contribution to sustainable local development. But if the different actors involved in the makerspace ecosystem take into account some factors, makerspaces would bring a lot of benefits to sustainable local development of Africa. That is why at the end of this thesis, we made some suggestions.

Full textL'Afrique francophone, territoire de notre étude, y apparaît en retard en raison de nombreux obstacles : technologiques, politiques et institutionnels, juridiques et éthiques, socioculturels et financiers. Ceci a pour conséquence une intégration insuffisante des TIC dans le tissu socioéconomique, éducatif, d'administration publique, etc. Or, le rôle des TIC comme facteur de développement, qui devrait se traduire par la mise en place de nouvelles compétences en Afrique francophone, apparaît encore limité par le manque de ressources humaines qualifiées. Si l'on recherche les raisons de cette explication, on peut les trouver dans le déficit des investissements publics et privés, ce qui pose la question des politiques publiques. Notre travail consiste d'une part, à examiner l'action des politiques publiques dans l'instauration d'une société de l'information en Afrique francophone et, d'autre part, à déterminer les conditions stratégiques (moyens) à prendre en compte pour que se développe une appropriation des usages des TIC par les citoyens d'Afrique francophone, en vue de l'accès de cette région du monde à la société de l'information.
