Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The study seeks to understand the ways that environmental concerns and the phenomenon of oil production in the Niger Delta are captured in contemporary literary representations. In the thesis, I enlist several works, five poetry collections and a Nollywood video film, produced between 1998 and 2010, to investigate and analyse the different ways they engage with the effects of oil extraction as a form of violence that is not immediately apparent. Amitav Ghosh argues that representing something of such magnitude as oil modernity can only be done adequately through narratives of epic quality such as realist fiction or the historical novel. I move away from Ghosh’s assumptions to argue that the texts, poetry and video film have adequately captured the oil encounter, but not on a grand scale or through realist fiction. I situate Niger Delta representations of the oil encounter within the intellectual frame of petrocultures, a recent field of global study which explores the representational and critical domain within which oil is framed and imagined in culture. In their signification of what I call the “oil ontology”, that is, the very nature and existence of oil in the Delta, lived-experience in its actual quotidian specificity, takes precedence in the imagination of the writers that I study. I propose that the texts, in very different ways, articulate these experiences by concatenating social and environmental concerns with representations of the oil encounter to produce a petro-literary form which inflects and critiques the ways in which oil extraction, in all its social and environmental manifestations, inscribes a form of violence upon the landscape and human population in the oil sites of the Delta. I suggest that the texts articulate a place-based, place-specific form of petroculture. They emphasis the notion that the oil encounter in the Delta is not the official encounter at the point of extraction but rather the unofficial encounter with the side-effects of the oil extraction. The texts, in very different ways address similar concerns of violence as an intricate feature in the Delta, both as a physical, spectacular phenomenon and as a subtle, unseen category. They conceive of violence as a consequence of the various forms of intrusion and disruption that the logic of oil extraction instigates in the Niger Delta. I suggest that the form of eco-poetics that is articulated gives expression to environmental concerns which are marked off by an oily topos in the Delta. I maintain that in projecting an artistic vision that is sensitive to environmental and sociocultural questions, the writings that we encounter from this region also make critical commentary on the ontology of oil. The texts conceive the Niger Delta as one that provides the spatial and material template for envisioning the oil encounter and staging a critique of the essentially globalised space that is the site of oil production.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek die maniere waarop omgewingsbelange en die instellings van olieproduksie in die Delta van die Niger-rivier vasgevang word in kontemporêre letterkundige voorstellings. In my tesis gebruik ek verskeie werke – vyf versamelings van gedigte en ‘n Nollywood [Nigeriese] video, almal geskep tussen 1998 en 2010 – om die verskillende wyses waarop hierdie tekste omgaan met die gevolge van olie-ontginning, as ‘n vorm van geweld wat nie onmiddellik opvallend is nie, na te vors en te analiseer. Amitav Ghosh argumenteer dat, om ‘n fenomeen van sulke geweldige omvang soos olie-moderniteit uit te beeld, slegs na behore uitgevoer kan word in narratiewe van epiese dimensies; byvoorbeeld realistiese fiksie of die historiese roman. Ek beweeg weg van Ghosh se aannames deur te argumenteer dat die tekste (gedigte en ‘n video-film) wel die olie-ervaring behoorlik vasvang, maar nie op groot skaal soos in realistiese fiksie nie. Ek plaas die Niger-Delta uitbeeldings van die olie-ervaring binne die groter raamwerk van Petro-kulture: ‘n nuwe studiegebied wat die voorstellings- en kritiese domein waarbinne olie gekonseptualiseer en kultureel verbeel(d) word, ondersoek. In hul voorstellings van die olie-ontologie van die Delta neem die ervaringswêreld in sy daaglikse werklikhede (in die gekose skrywers se uitbeelding daarvan) ‘n sentrale plek in. Ek konstateer dat die tekste, hoewel op heel uiteenlopende maniere, hierdie ervarings artikuleer deur sosiale en omgewings-oorwegings byeen te bring met uitbeeldings van die olie-ervaring ten einde ‘n petro-literêre vorm te skep wat die maniere waarop olie-ontginning, in al die sosiale en omgewings-effekte daarvan, ‘n vorm van geweld op die landskap en die menslike bevolking van die olie-ontginningsgebiede van die Delta inskryf, inflekteer en krities analiseer. Ek stel dit dat die tekste ‘n plek-gebaseerde en gebieds-spesifieke vorm van Petrokultuur artikuleer. Hulle benadruk die feit dat die olie-ervaring in die Delta nie die offisiële ontmoeting by die ontginningspunt is nie, maar eerder die onoffisiële ondervinding van die newe-effekte van die olie-ontginningsproses. Op hul verskillende wyses spreek die tekste ‘n ooreenstemmende besorgdheid uit aangaande die ingewikkelde rol wat geweld in die Delta speel – beide as ‘n fisiese, ooglopende fenomeen en as ‘n subtiele, ongesiene kategorie. Die tekste konseptualiseer geweld as seinde die gevolg van die verskeie vorme van ingryping en versteuring wat deur die logika van die olie-ontginningsproses in die Niger-Delta meegebring word. Ek suggereer dat die vorm van eko-poëtika wat hier geartikuleer word, uitdrukking gee aan omgewings-oorwegings wat in die Delta deur ‘n olie(rige) topos omgrens word. Ek maak die stelling dat, deur middle van ‘n artistieke visie wat gevoelig is vir omgewings-en sosiale vrae, die tekste wat in hierdie gebied ontstaan, kritiese kommentaar bied op die ontologie van olie. Die tekste verbeel die Niger-Delta as ‘n gebied wat die ruimtelike en materiële templaat voorsien om die olie-ervaring te visualiseer en te konseptualiseer, om sodoende ‘n kritiek te skep van die geglobaliseerde ruimte van olie-produksie.

Full textLe projet d'irrigation de l'Office du Niger, situé dans le delta intérieur du Niger au Mali, est né d'une proposition très insuffisante mais grandiose conçue en 1920 par un ingénieur des Travaux Publics Coloniaux, Émile Bélime. Conçu à l'origine comme un moyen de transformer la Vallée du Niger en une vaste plantation de coton, et envisagé par la suite comme le grenier central de l'Afrique Occidentale, ce projet n'a jamais atteint qu'une petite partie de son potentiel agricole espéré. Sa réalisation et sa mise en exploitation on nécessité le déracinement par contrainte de dizaines de milliers d'Africains. Même après la deuxième guerre mondiale, le projet a absorbé encore une grande partie des revenus coloniaux, déjà limités, mais il n'a généré aucun revenu. Pendant l'entre-deux-guerres, l'Office du Niger a acqui petit à petit le statut de facto d'un état dans l'État, dirigé par Émile Bélime. En 1945, quand le projet a été finalement reconnu comme une échec sur le plan économique et humanitaire, les autorités coloniales ont essayé de corriger les erreurs les plus graves et lui ont accordé le nouveau statu de prototype pour d'autres projets d'assistance économique et technique aux régions sous-développées. En 1961, le Gouvernement du Mali, qui avait récemment accédé à l'indépendance, pensait en faire un projet pilote pour le développement agricole du pays. Sa réalisation détermine encore aujourd'hui la politique agricole du Mali. fr

Full texténigmes de l'écologie des plantes. Les origines du difficile équilibre entre ces formes de vie
sur des dizaines de millions de kilomètres carrés à l'échelle mondiale sont en partie attribuées
aux perturbations fréquentes induites par les feux de végétation dont les effets varient dans
l'espace et dans le temps selon les conditions environnementales. Les résultats de recherche
dépendent de l’échelle et les conclusions tirées d’études locales sont rarement transposables à
d’autres échelles. La question du transfert d'échelle s’avère donc cruciale dans l'étude des
effets du feu, et nécessite une approche transdisciplinaire.
En raison de la variété des échelles couvertes, cette étude constitue une première dans la
confrontation de données sur l’historique des feux dérivé de l'imagerie satellitaire à des
données de terrain incluant des mesures détaillées sur la structure et la composition de
végétation, ainsi que des propriétés édaphiques et topographiques. Elle s’est focalisée sur la
composante ligneuse de par son caractère pérenne et son influence sur les processus
écologiques majeurs. Sur une zone de plus de 2000 km², le Parc National du W du Niger
(PNWN), où le feu est utilisé comme outil pour la gestion et la conservation des écosystèmes
semi-arides, une carte de l'historique des feux a été élaborée à partir d'images MODIS de 250
m de résolution spatiale et de résolution temporelle journalière couvrant une période de sept
années (2002-2009). Pour comprendre la variabilité, à la fois dans l'espace et le temps, de la
propagation du feu dans la végétation, nous avons étudié les caractéristiques de distribution
des feux en termes de régime du feu (i.e. période d'occurrence et fréquence) et de structure
spatiale (métriques paysagères). Les relations causales plausibles entre les régimes du feu, les
conditions édaphiques et topographiques à l'échelle régionale comme locale, et les
caractéristiques de la végétation ligneuse (composition et structure) ont été examinées à
travers des analyses multivariées et des modèles d'équations structurales. Nous avons aussi
examiné plus en détails les stratégies adaptatives mises en oeuvre par les ligneux, et les
interactions biologiques qui sous-tendent l'organisation spatiale des ligneux à travers une
approche des processus ponctuels.
Les résultats montrent que l'activité du feu dans le PNWN se caractérise par une hétérogénéité
spatio-temporelle induite principalement par les conditions édapho-topographiques via la
structure de la végétation ligneuse. Les feux précoces de gestion créent des pare-feux
efficaces, limitant une large extension des feux de saison tardifs. Cependant, ces feux tardifs
pourraient ne pas être aussi destructifs comme qu’on le suppose généralement. En effet,
l'adaptation des espèces aux différents régimes defeu correspond à des stratégies de croissance
contrastées. Dans le cas des feux tardifs, les surfaces terrières et hauteurs moyennes les plus
fortes sont rencontrées, permettant aux arbres de résister au feu. Quant aux zones non
affectées par les feux l'analyse "patron-processus" désigne clairement la facilitation entre
ligneux comme un processus fondamental de l'organisation spatiale périodique du couvert, une
structure émergente qui empêche le passage du feu. Bien qu’ils ne se substituent pas aux
études expérimentales, ces résultats basés sur une expérimentation naturelle à large échelle
apportent des informations nouvelles précieuses tant au niveau fondamental que pour la mise
en place d'une gestion raisonnée du PNWN.
The tree-grass equilibrium in tropical savanna is recognized as one of plant ecology's main
conundrums. The origins of the difficult balance between these life forms over tens of millions
of square kilometers worldwide are in part attributed to the frequent disturbances caused by
vegetation fires effects of which vary in space and time depending on local environmental
factors. Research results are scale-dependent and findings from local studies are rarely
transposable to higher levels of ecosystem organization. The question of scaling (scale
transfer) is therefore crucial in the study of fire effects, and requires a multidisciplinary
approach.
Because of the variety of scales covered, this study is a premiere in the confrontation of
satellite-imagery derived fire history data with detailed field data including measurements of
vegetation parameters (structure and composition), as well as soil and topographic properties.
The study focuses on the woody component, because of its perennial character and its
influence on major ecological processes. On an area of more than 2000 km², the W National
Park of Niger (WNPN) where fire is used as a tool for the management and conservation of
semi-arid ecosystems, a fire history map was elaborated from MODIS images with a 250 m
spatial resolution and a daily temporal resolution over a period of seven years (2002-2009). To
understand the variability, both in space and time, of fire propagation in vegetation, we studied
the fire distribution characteristics in terms of fire regime (i.e. timing and frequency) and
spatial structure (landscape metrics). Plausible causal relationships at regional and local scales
between fire regimes, edaphic and topographic conditions, and the woody vegetation
(composition and structure) characteristics were examined through multivariate analyses and
structural equations models. We also examined in detail the woody species adaptive strategies
as well biological interactions, which underlie their spatial organization, using point statistics.
Results show that the WNPN fire's activity is characterized by spatial and temporal
heterogeneity induced mainly by edaphic and topographic conditions via the structure of the
ligneous component. Prescribed early season fires create effective firewalls, limiting wide late
season fires. However, these late fires might not be as destructive as is commonly assumed.
Indeed, species adaptation to different fire regimes corresponds to contrasting growth
strategies. In the case of late fires, increased basal areas and mean tree heights were
encountered, enabling trees to resist fire and escape flames. As for the unburned areas, the
"pattern-process" analysis clearly indicates that facilitation between shrubs is a fundamental
process determining the woody cover periodic spatial organization, an emergent structure that
prevents fire spread.
Although they do not replace experimental studies, these results based on a large-scale natural
experiment provide valuable new information both on a fundamental level and for setting up
the rational management of the WNPN.

It examines the impact of the commercial legislation on different actors of the trade sphere and their reaction and rehabilitation in front of the colonial economy. It studies then the trade and the companies from 1960 to our days, period of state control ending in the economic crisis of the 1980s which aroused the various programs of structural adjustment. Itineraries, narratives of life and the future of the current actors of the business are redrawn from their strategies of accumulation and diversification, their method of transmission and reproduction of the affairs as well as the place which they have to occupy in the current process of the regional integration

Bilateral cooperation was set up in 1960 to take over the programmes of assistance to the cities of the ex-empire which was launched after ww2. The fact that french intervention lasted so long has contributed to shaping original urban spaces in which the network of dependancies between former colonies and metropolis is still visible. A global approach of this phenomenon, both in its forms and machanisms, is followed by a detailed analysis of three particular examples in the sahel : those of niamey; bamako and ouagadougou

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to study the myths and mechanims which placed the niger territory in a state of dependence. It establishes the following observation : the colonial past is highly responsible for the underdevelopment of niger, a territory long maintained in the stage of reserve colony. In the first section we describe, through a methodical study of the place of the niger space in european imperialist rivalries, the genesis of french expansion in niger. In the second section we examine the process of territory formation from the first map sharing to the present boundary configuration. In the third section we describe the despotic system of exploitation applied in niger, a system implemented through direct political coercition established as a principle of colonisation. In the fourth section we study the reforms undertaken between 1912 and 1914, aiming at the acceleration of the colonizing policy both institutionally and structurally. These reforms reinforced the mechanisms of exploitation by facilitating the passage from temporary military occupation to administrative organization. In the fifth section we analyse the impact of the first world war

Full textThe first calling of every theocratic centre is the acquisition and the transmission of the religious knowledge. Saayi has been accomplishing this mission since its creation in the xiii xixth century. This knowledge, based on the koran, is passed on in different ways. The example of the translation and commentary of the koran in saayi shows the importance of its understanding, or partly, to accomplish rites and practices. In south-saharan africa, the source text of the koranic commentary is al-galalayni's. The african translation is more a voice expressing the word of god than a classical way koranic commentary. This concision of the source text leaves few details related to the practical methods of cult, where the interest in the religious songs, draws its source from the koran, the prophetic tradition and in muslim case law books. The choice for the ramadan month to make this translationcommentary has given it, as time goes by, a ritual character in the same way as the great heathen agrarian events

Full textThe global marketing of the racial slur “nigger” / “nigga” has been a steady stream of business for the entertainment industry for decades. Entertainment is the United States’ second biggest export. The racial slur “nigger” / “nigga” is at the core of America’s savage history. However, many young people and adults have no knowledge of the history and negative connotations of the derogatory racial slur.
This study focused on whether the workshops presented to 30 high school students in three schools in the northern United States would impact their understanding of the racial slur “nigger”/ “nigga” and if they would report that they are using the racial slur less or not at all after attending these workshops. Would the workshops give high school students a better understanding of the legacy of this debilitating racial slur and the impact it continues to have on the mindset of millions of people? Did the workshops help the high school students understand the negative effects of the use of the racial slur “nigger” / “nigga” through not only news, but also films/movies, music, video, song, and dance?
Data were collected using pre- and post-intervention anonymous questionnaires with all of the participants and videotaped post-intervention interviews with two students from each of the three high schools.
The results supported the hypothesis that after attending the workshops, students did have more knowledge of the origins of the racial slur “nigger” / “nigga” and they reported that they would use the term in its historical context as opposed to using it as a term of endearment.

Full textThis dissertation highlights the considerable contribution of the constitutional judge of the 5th Republic of Niger, in the audacious protection work of the supremacy of the Constitution principle (the 9th of August, 1999). The presentation of the organizational structure of constitutional law requires taking into account Niger’s sociopolitical history, which has contributed to the model of constitutional justice of Niger. The evocation of constitutional activity underlines the major decisions of the Court, regarding the defense of the guaranteed basic rights as well as the constitutional regulation of the functioning of the Republic's institutions. An entire chapter is dedicated to the case law regarding the President of the Republic, which has been in the center of the issue of strengthening the democratization of Niger since the National Conference of 1991. The research results in the ambivalent analysis. On the one hand, the re-foundation of the constitutional justice through the institution of a specialized and independent jurisdiction marked Niger's entry into an era of constitutional democracy. On the other hand, the constitutional judge audacity has proved deficient facing the authoritarian trend of the President of the Republic in 2009 (dissolution of the Court). Nonetheless, the democratic constitutionalism designed under the 5th Republic of Niger seems to remain an appropriate revolution to fight against any authoritarian resurgence

The rationale and motivating factor is to trace the general environmental problems associated with oil production in the Ijaw village communities that have impacted on the livelihood of the Ijaw people. The thesis is the product of research conducted into the Ijaw environment before the discovery of crude oil, to determine whether their socio-economic and political activities impacted on it through conflict as a result of oil-related pollution and degradation in the 1990s. Oil was discovered in commercially viable quantities in 1956 in the Oloibiri Ijaw community. Extraction by Shell-BP and Chevron started soon afterwards. It examines the complexities of the operations, management and control strategy employed by the federal government under a joint venture agreement with the oil multinationals, particularly through the various regulatory laws passed to protect the Ijaw inhabitants and their environment. This thesis explores and investigates the impact of oil production, particularly of the perennial pollution and flaring of gas, on the soil, vegetation and climate in areas allocated to major oil producers in the Ijaw community. It contributes to existing knowledge on the responses of the federal government and the oil multinationals to pollution and its impact on the traditional fishing and farming of most Ijaws. It explains the main reason the Ijaws demanded greater control of oil resources and a fair share of revenue in the 1990s. The government’s repressive responses exacerbated the environmental struggle by the local protesters against both government and oil companies. This thesis explores the various steps undertaken by the federal government to resolve the conflict associated with environmental problems in Oloibiri, Nembe, Otuasega, Imiringi, Anyama, Kolo-Creeks, which constitute some Ijaw oil-producing communities. The performances and functioning of government agencies, such as NDDB (1961), FEPA (1988) and OMPADEC (1992), at local level are investigated. The main reason for survival strategy in adapting to the environmental problems associated with oil pollution by the Ijaws, and why they were unsuccessful, is also examined.

Full textThis research report conducts a critical examination of Ayo Akinfe’s Fuelling the Delta Fires by paying attention to the writer’s use of satire to highlight social problems such as corruption, deception and exploitation in Nigeria. The focus is on how Akinfe’s novel represents exploitation, waste, and excess that have become normative in a country on the brink of collapse. The work also seeks to identify and critique how Akinfe employs satire to interrogate the syndrome of the ‘big-man’ in Nigeria, showing how their actions contribute to social decay and violence. The research will also examine issues of ecology in the Niger Delta. Ecology has often been construed as a Western ideology that has little resonance within the framework of the African novel. However, this work, tries to show that as the scholarship on ecological humanities has evolved over the years, African alternatives which take account of the unique challenges of the continent have also being developed. Akinfe draws from these proposed models of ecology to focus attention on the ecological issues that are a direct outcome of the exploration of oil in the Niger Delta and by so doing, brings attention to the transgressions of government and multinational corporations who go to great lengths to extract oil in the region. Applying ecocritical examples suggested by scholars like Anthony Vital, Byron Caminero-Santangelo and others, the research report demonstrates how literature has been used as a medium to expose greed that facilitates ecological degradations and how the culture of consumerism affect the daily lives of the inhabitants of the Niger Delta.
