AbstractCommitted to rendering the realities of some of The Gambia's youth's lived experience, the paper explores how an art critique during the Visual Voices workshop served as a platform that enabled young people to draw upon visual methodologies to reflect upon and share some of the major concerns and challenges that The Gambia's youth population are forced to confront in one way or another. Drawing on the artworks of participants from the ArtFarm (AF), an artists’ and farmers’ collective, photographs taken during a ‘Jakarlo’, [Jakarlo is the Wolof word for face-to-face or confrontation] a youth wrestling event in Kerr Sering, a Gambian village, and discussions about migration as a new phenomenon with young people from the Abuko Youth Association [See https://www.facebook.com/abukoyouthassociation/] (AYA), the paper explores the ways in which young people are engaging in traditions of visual and performing arts, wrestling, and migration in new ways. The discussions reveal the significance of their practice and engagement as youth leaders and active citizens in The Gambia. Simultaneously, we witness the power of visual narrative as a means of enabling an exploration into the themes that emerged from discussion and observation. These themes lead us to ask how The Gambia's young people have come to negotiate the social phenomena of wrestling, migration, and art as ‘new trends' rooted in ‘old’ practices, how tradition is held onto, and how have they taken on new forms within the youth landscape of The Gambia.Engagé à restituer les réalités de certains jeunes Gambiens à travers leur expérience vécue, l'article explore comment une critique d'art, lors de l'atelier Visual Voices, a servi de plate-forme permettant aux jeunes de s'appuyer sur des méthodologies visuelles afin de réfléchir et partager sur les principales préoccupations et défis auxquels la population des jeunes Gambiens est confrontée, d'une manière ou d'une autre.

摘要本文致力于呈现冈比亚年轻人生活经验的现实,探讨视觉之声工作坊期间的艺术评论如何成为一个平台,使年轻人能够利用视觉方法来反思和分享冈比亚年轻人被迫以某种方式面对的一些主要问题和挑战。作品取材于艺术家与农民团体ArtFarm (AF)参与者的作品、冈比亚村庄“Jakarlo”(Jakarlo是Wolof语,意为面对面或对抗)青少年摔跤活动期间拍摄的照片,以及与Abuko青年协会的年轻人讨论移民这一新现象[见https://www.facebook.com/abukoyouthassociation/] (AYA)。本文探讨了年轻人以新的方式参与传统的视觉和表演艺术、摔跤和移民的方式。这些讨论揭示了他们作为冈比亚青年领袖和积极公民的实践和参与的重要性。同时,我们见证了视觉叙事的力量,它是一种探索从讨论和观察中出现的主题的手段。这些主题让我们不禁要问,冈比亚的年轻人是如何将摔跤、移民和艺术等社会现象视为根植于“旧”实践的“新趋势”,传统是如何被保留下来的,以及它们是如何在冈比亚的青年景观中呈现出新的形式的。接触到某些冈比亚人的变性者,他们的变性者,他们的变性者,他们的变性者,他们的变性者,他们的变性者,他们的变性者,他们的变性者,他们的变性者,他们的变性者,他们的变性者,他们的变性者,他们的变性者,他们的变性者,他们的变性者,他们的变性者,他们的变性者,他们的变性者。年代'appuyant苏尔lesœ紫外线辐射艺术品des参与者de l 'ArtFarm (AF)——联合国collectif d 'artistes et d 'agriculteurs, des摄影联盟当时d一个“Jakarlo”——联合国evenement de lutte倒les年轻人克尔泽林(联合国村gambien)、et des讨论关于莱斯迁移在中间,新phenomene用des年轻人de l 'Association des年轻人d 'Abuko(哈尔曼氏崖爬藤),l 'article探索莱斯这样不莱斯年轻人的年代'engagent des在传统艺术visuels du奇观,关于新事物的迁移。在冈比亚,这些讨论将使冈比亚的青年领导人和公民活动的重要性和参与程度有所提高。有时,同时进行的<s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1>交换器- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -在这段视频中,我们可以看到冈比亚青年的需求,我们可以看到冈比亚青年的需求,也可以看到冈比亚青年的需求,也可以看到冈比亚青年的需求,也可以看到冈比亚青年的需求,也可以看到冈比亚青年的需求,也可以看到冈比亚青年的需求,也可以看到冈比亚青年的需求,也可以看到冈比亚青年的需求,也可以看到冈比亚青年的需求,也可以看到冈比亚青年的需求,也可以看到冈比亚青年的需求。关键词:backwayjakarlo视觉声音视觉档案视觉方法视觉社会学秘密迁移ambian青年太空青年领袖smots clacys: backwayjakarlo视觉声音视觉档案视觉方法视觉社会学秘密迁移空间青年冈比亚青年领袖披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。伦理声明采访者清楚地向所有受访者传达了研究项目的范围和目的。所有受访者都同意为本研究的目的接受采访。所有受访者也同意将采访用于出版目的。在进行这项研究的时候,贝德福德大学并没有要求对这类研究进行伦理批准。注1匙孔园艺是一种永续栽培的概念,旨在利用厨余种植植物,也被称为可食用或厨房花园。旨在加强整个非洲的粮食安全。参见Lawanson (Citation2021)冈比亚国家人类发展报告https://www.gm.undp.org/content/dam/gambia/docs/NewDocs/NHDR%202014.pdf[2017年7月11日查阅]。《冈比亚:非洲“微笑海岸”的移民》第2页。参见移民政策研究所在线期刊:https://ssrn.com/abstract=2429807.4参见https://displacement.iom.int/system/tdf/reports/Gambia_ENG.pdf?file=1&type=node&id=10576.5 Kori社区青年组织:http://www.kori.org.uk.6 DOAF.co.uk.7船舶项目:https://kori.org.uk/the-vessel/.8对Keba Salah的采访2016.9对Omar Corr的采访2016.10对Omar Corr的采访2016.11对Omar Corr的采访2016.12与ArtFarm的焦点小组讨论2016.13与阿布库保安Lamin的个人交流。 14 .在这方面的宣传是指选出来领导社区内其他青年的教育方案的青年团体采访Abuko青年协会AYA成员。16采访Pa Doullo Kandeh 2016.17 Emms Craig等人。《冈比亚》。18参见Hoyantaan国王的诞生https://www.chronicle.gm/hoyantaan-the-making-of-the-king-of-gambias-wrestling-arena/.19参见https://www.grts.gm/new-site/public/news-article-details/sports/gwa-concludes-training-for-thirty-wrestlers-referees.https://www.gambia.com/gwa-commences-3-day-training-for-wrestlers-referees-in-janjanbureh/.https://www.gambia.com/wrestling-out-of-poverty-in-gambia-the-chronicle-gambia/.20冈比亚摔跤的历史http://allafrica.com/stories/201408011311.html.21见象人Willie Bounce https://youtube/r038-tDd8eI.22采访Pa Doullo Kandeh 2016.23采访Pa Doullo Kandeh 2016.24讨论如何通过黑人生活的视觉表现来编织国家。Barson, Tanya等人,《非洲现代:穿越黑大西洋之旅》,第12.25页,《Pa Doullo Kandeh访谈》,2016.26见《卫报》https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/nov/10/gambia-wrestler-trying-to-reach-italy-drowns-in-mediterranean.27全球化世界中的非洲青年文化:挑战、代理和抵抗。英国,阿什盖特出版有限公司,2015。

Young Africans supporting European clubs: the case of football fans from Accra, Ghana 支持欧洲俱乐部的非洲年轻人:来自加纳阿克拉的足球迷的案例
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-05-04 DOI: 10.1080/21681392.2023.2238096

The massive following that European soccer leagues enjoy in Africa, especially among urban youth, is an aspect of African youth cultures that scholarship has not adequately addressed. This paper explores the phenomenon and its implications for young people’s everyday identity politics, by focusing on how African popular cultures draw on global cultural trends to appeal to urban youth in local settings across the continent. Specifically, what is being analysed is how young people engage with global modernity by projecting their aspirations and desires through the fortunes of their adopted European soccer teams. Using the questionnaire interview method, I talked to nine Ghanaian youths living in Accra, Ghana’s capital, where there currently exists a vibrant youth support movement for foreign clubs. Findings from the interviews reveal that the glamour of European leagues trigger issues of identity, belonging, and politics among young Africans. While some consider their involvement in European leagues as an escape and a powerful protest to the comparatively unattractive soccer landscape on the continent, others perceive it as an expression of their global citizenship and belonging. Recognizing the enjoyment that young people elicit from the European soccer craze, the article argues that not only does the entertainment value of foreign soccer ‘absolve’ youth of their allegiance to foreign interests, but it also provides a powerful cultural avenue for them to vicariously participate in a modernity whose privileges they cannot access locally.
欧洲足球联赛在非洲,特别是在城市青年中拥有大量的追随者,这是非洲青年文化的一个方面,学术界尚未充分研究。本文探讨了这一现象及其对年轻人日常身份政治的影响,重点关注非洲流行文化如何利用全球文化趋势来吸引整个非洲大陆当地环境中的城市青年。具体来说,研究分析的是年轻人如何通过他们所选择的欧洲足球队的命运来表达他们的抱负和欲望,从而融入全球现代化。使用问卷访谈法,我采访了居住在加纳首都阿克拉的九名加纳青年,那里目前存在着一个充满活力的青年支持外国俱乐部的运动。采访结果显示,欧洲联赛的魅力引发了非洲年轻人的身份认同、归属感和政治问题。虽然有些人认为他们参加欧洲联赛是一种逃避,是对欧洲大陆相对缺乏吸引力的足球景观的一种强烈抗议,但其他人认为这是他们全球公民身份和归属感的一种表达。认识到年轻人从欧洲足球狂热中获得的乐趣,文章认为,外国足球的娱乐价值不仅“赦免”了年轻人对外国利益的忠诚,而且还为他们提供了一个强大的文化途径,让他们间接参与到他们在当地无法获得的现代性特权中。

A Chinese ‘modern’ device transforming the traditional healers’ practices in Cameroon 一种中国“现代”设备改变了喀麦隆传统治疗师的做法

In the field of health, China's contribution is generally addressed either through its cooperation programmes or by the opening of private clinics by Chinese ‘doctors’. In Yaoundé and Douala, some private practices have been opened and various works have highlighted their role in the dissemination of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in Cameroon. Yet the craze for these structures did not last long. Today, while signs of their existence are still visible, many of these firms are closed. China's influence in the health field is, however, far from negligible, but it is taking place in unexpected areas. The circulation of goods and knowledge from China leaves more room for local reappropriation. Indeed, some Cameroonian traditional healers include knowledge from China in their daily practice through the use of ‘machines’ coming from China to ‘purify the body’, to ‘eliminate fat’, to regulate the tension, to ‘stimulate acupuncture points’ or ‘make diagnosis’ (using the quantum analyser or a ‘diagnostic machine’). From direct observations conducted between 2014 and 2021, this article presents the issues at stake for the practice of traditional healers by the modernization of the field through specific therapeutic devices and the quantum analyser coming from China into the health Cameroonian landscape. The paper demonstrates that the performance of the diagnostic machine has less to do with the concrete efficiency of the diagnosis of pathologies than with the dynamics of visibility vis-à-vis patients. The quantum analyser is, therefore, an interesting element revealing the constant process of renewal of medical pluralism in Cameroon, in which China is playing a central role today.
在卫生领域,中国的贡献一般是通过合作方案或由中国“医生”开设私人诊所来实现的。在yaound和Douala,已经开设了一些私人诊所,各种作品都突出了它们在喀麦隆传播传统中医(TCM)方面的作用。然而,对这些建筑的狂热并没有持续太久。如今,尽管它们存在的迹象仍然可见,但其中许多公司已经关闭。然而,中国在卫生领域的影响远非微不足道,而是发生在意想不到的领域。来自中国的商品和知识的流通给当地留下了更大的空间。事实上,一些喀麦隆的传统治疗师在他们的日常实践中包括来自中国的知识,通过使用来自中国的“机器”来“净化身体”,“消除脂肪”,调节紧张,“刺激穴位”或“诊断”(使用量子分析仪或“诊断机器”)。根据2014年至2021年间进行的直接观察,本文通过来自中国的特定治疗设备和量子分析仪进入喀麦隆健康领域,提出了传统治疗师实践中面临的问题。本文论证了诊断机器的性能与病理诊断的具体效率关系不大,而与-à-vis患者可见性的动态关系较大。因此,量子分析仪是一个有趣的元素,揭示了喀麦隆医疗多元化的不断更新过程,而中国今天在这一过程中发挥着核心作用。

Chinese goods in Africa: new extraversions, orientations, and expressions of African agency 中国商品在非洲:非洲代理的新外向性、取向与表达
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-01-02 DOI: 10.1080/21681392.2023.2200013

By proposing to approach African-Chinese relations through the lens of Chinese products, this special issue intends to reveal the many ways in which African agency manifests in globalization. Indeed, Africans are the leading actors in the arrival and dissemination of Chinese goods on the continent, challenging the purported omnipotence of Chinese actors. The focus on Chinese products also provides an innovative perspective on the transformation of contemporary African societies. The low price of Chinese-made goods has contributed to new consumption and business opportunities for many Africans. This has accompanied the continent’s entry into mass consumption. Finally, this special issue raises the question of the management of extraversion. The development of new entrepreneurial activities carries with it a subversive potential that calls into question the historical domination of African and foreign cosmopolitan elites on an increasingly multipolar process of extraversion. On a broader level, it questions the hierarchies and power structures of many sectors that have been going through deep restructuring in the wake of the arrival of Chinese goods.
通过提出通过中国产品的视角来看待非中关系,本期特刊旨在揭示非洲机构在全球化中体现的多种方式。事实上,非洲人是中国商品抵达和传播非洲大陆的主要参与者,挑战了中国参与者所谓的无所不能。对中国产品的关注也为当代非洲社会的转型提供了一个创新的视角。中国产品价格低廉,为许多非洲人提供了新的消费和商机。这伴随着非洲大陆进入大众消费。最后,这个特殊的问题提出了管理外向性的问题。新的创业活动的发展带有一种颠覆性的潜力,它对非洲和外国世界主义精英在日益多极的外向性过程中的历史统治地位提出了质疑。在更广泛的层面上,它对许多行业的等级制度和权力结构提出了质疑,这些行业在中国商品进入后经历了深度重组。

Low-cost Chinese goods in Tanzania: the rise of transnational trade routes’ peripheral branches 坦桑尼亚的低成本中国商品:跨国贸易路线周边分支的兴起
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-12-12 DOI: 10.1080/21681392.2022.2154234

This article illustrates how rural margins and urban-rural relations in southwest Tanzania join up with transnational trade routes for Chinese goods. It examines the trade of low-cost imported goods from China (plastic sandals, cheap jewellery, various fashion accessories, cheap clothing, etc.) that are widely spread in Tanzania, up into the peripheral countryside. By examining the concept of trade routes, the article contributes to the literature on urban-rural relations in African Studies and ‘inconspicuous globalisation’ by proposing a contrary perspective, where rural areas viewed as areas of consumption of imported products. It then rescales the globalization analysis by situating urban-rural relations at the heart of local and global interconnections. The article demonstrates that geographically peripheral places and actors have a capacity to influence the direction of the global trade route as they combine complementarities between the urban-rural continuum and topological continuity of networks from local to global. The global trade geography is profoundly influenced by what goes on in its inconspicuous tentacles in upcountry regions, such as the Uporoto Mountains, where the global trade route relies on the dynamism of local agriculture, which is increasingly merging with other livelihoods. This is exemplified by the complementarities between trade and agriculture in terms of livelihood, circulation of capital, urban-rural mobility, and links to global scales, which highlight the de-agrarianization process and the development of a mass consumption society.
本文阐述了坦桑尼亚西南部的农村边缘和城乡关系如何与中国商品的跨国贸易路线联系在一起。它调查了从中国进口的低成本商品(塑料凉鞋、廉价珠宝、各种时尚配饰、廉价服装等)的贸易,这些商品在坦桑尼亚广泛分布,一直延伸到周边农村。通过研究贸易路线的概念,这篇文章通过提出一个相反的观点,将农村地区视为进口产品的消费地区,为非洲研究中的城乡关系和“不起眼的全球化”的文献做出了贡献。然后,通过将城乡关系置于地方和全球互联的核心位置,重新调整了全球化分析的尺度。本文表明,地理边缘地区和行动者具有影响全球贸易路线方向的能力,因为它们结合了城乡连续性和从地方到全球网络的拓扑连续性之间的互补性。全球贸易地理格局深受其内陆地区不起眼的触角的影响,例如Uporoto山脉,在那里,全球贸易路线依赖于当地农业的活力,而当地农业正日益与其他生计融合。贸易和农业在生计、资本流通、城乡流动和与全球规模的联系方面的互补性就是例证,这突出了去农化进程和大众消费社会的发展。
