Sounding the Cape
For several centuries Cape Town has accommodated a great variety of musical genres which have usually been associated with specific population groups living in and around the city. Musical styles and genres produced in Cape Town have therefore been assigned an "identity" which is first and foremost social. This volume tries to question the relationship established between musical styles and genres, and social - in this case pseudo-racial - identities. In Sounding the Cape, Denis-Constant Martin recomposes and examines through the theoretical prism of creolisation the history of music in Cape Town, deploying analytical tools borrowed from the most recent studies of identity configurations. He...
Elgar Encyclopedia of Global Migration
In recent decades, emerging challenges such as increased digitalization of social lives and the ongoing processes of border externalization and internalization, have prompted scholars and civil societies to question the ways in which people view, frame and experience migration and draw attention to emerging forms of resistance and mobility justice. This timely Encyclopedia engages with critical epistemologies and practices to provide a comprehensive examination of the field of global migration, activism and cultural production.
Fault Lines
What is the link, if any, between race and disease? How did the term baster as ‘mixed race’ come to be mistranslated from ‘incest’ in the Hebrew Bible? What are the roots of racial thinking in South African universities? How does music fall on the ear of black and white listeners? Are new developments in genetics simply a backdoor for the return of eugenics? For the first time, leading scholars in South Africa from different disciplines take on some of these difficult questions about race, science and society in the aftermath of apartheid. This book offers an important foundation for students pursuing a broader education than what a typical degree provides, and a must-read resource for every citizen concerned about the lingering effects of race and racism in South Africa and other parts of the world.

Cape Town Harmonies
"Cape Town’s public cultures can only be fully appreciated through recognition of its deep and diverse soundscape. We have to listen to what has made and makes a city. The ear is an integral part of the ‘research tools’ one needs to get a sense of any city. We have to listen to the sounds that made and make the expansive ‘mother city’. Various of its constituent parts sound different from each other … [T]here is the sound of the singing men and their choirs (“teams” they are called) in preparation for the longstanding annual Malay choral competitions. The lyrics from the various repertoires they perform are hardly ever written down. […] There are texts of the hallowed ‘Du...

L’apprenant au cœur du système éducatif et universitaire
Cet ouvrage, centré sur la place de l’apprenant, regroupe une quinzaine de contributions présentées lors du troisième Forum citoyen international de l’éducation qui s’est tenu à Hammamet en novembre 2022. L’approche privilégiée est à la fois pluridisciplinaire et comparative : elle prend appui sur différentes études de cas relatives à la francophonie (France, Québec, Haïti, Tunisie, Sénégal) et se focalise sur les pratiques innovantes, le travail collaboratif et la reconnaissance des acquis expérientiels. Sont également discutés les dispositifs de lutte contre le décrochage et les inégalités scolaires, les défis de l’apprentissage et de la formation ou bien encore la problématique de l’altérité et de l’inclusion.
Danses traversées : carrières, genre, circulations
Cet ouvrage, qui réunit les contributions d’artistes, chercheuses et chercheurs aux ancrages académiques et disciplinaires divers, analyse les dynamiques circulatoires de danseuses et de danseurs, d’hier et d’aujourd’hui. L’hétérogénéité de ces études favorise la saisie de logiques singulières et de comparaisons transnationales et transhistoriques, révélant la fécondité du champ de recherche exploré. L’étude des mobilités chorégraphiques articulée à celle de la construction des carrières et des dynamiques de genre, éclaire les parcours individuels d’artistes qui défient les cadres normatifs et agissent comme des ferments qui innervent le corps social, acti...
