Book donation programmes for Africa: time for a reappraisal? Part II: Le don de livre, mais à quel prix, et en échange de quoi? Un regard sur le don de livre en Afrique francophone

Raphaël Thierry

African research & documentation, volume , issue 127 (2015), 76 pp.

"Dans cet article, je réfléchis à la relation entre don et marché éditorial en Afrique francophone ainsi qu’à son évolution. Comme je l’observe, l’intensification du don et la diffusion de l’idée qu’il n’y a pas de livres en Afrique coïncide avec l’essor de ce que l’on appel...le ‘la mondialisation éditoriale’ à partir du début des années 80. Je relève par ailleurs que cette période correspond à la mise en place du plan d’ajustement structurel (PAS) par les institutions dites ‘de Bretton-Woods’. Dans les années qui suivront, le secteur éditorial sera un des premiers touchés par les mesures d’austérité imposées par les bailleurs internationaux ... Comme je l’observe, le don de livres importé par une diversité de structures occupe une place historique en Afrique francophone, participant à l’omniprésence de l’édition du Nord. L’édition africaine se trouve alors réduite à la portion congrue de 10% des livres présents en librairies. Idem pour le livre scolaire, monopolisé à plus de 80% par l’édition étrangère, essentiellement française. Un des arguments prioritaires du don de livre en Afrique, c’est qu’il n’y a pas (ou pas assez) de livres. C’est en fait, peut-être, l’inverse: il y a un monopole du livre étranger qui ne permettrait pas au livre africain de rayonner suffisamment pour être connu/reconnu dans le monde. Le don serait donc la ‘fin de chaine’ d’un processus de minorisation: il contribuerait à la sous-représentation documentaire, voire à la dévalorisation des productions africaines, véhiculant l’image d’un continent de friche éditoriale… Mais tout comme cette vision est simplificatrice, il est réducteur de limiter le don à un processus strictement inégalitaire et partie prenante d’un système économique et idéologique de domination culturelle: c’est précisément cette diversité du don qui en rend l’analyse passionnante. Dans cet article, je propose une analyse des pratiques de don et de ses différents visages en Afrique francophone. Comme je le montre, son évolution est intrinsèquement liée à une histoire institutionnelle et aux relations de coopération développées entre États africains et bailleurs internationaux, depuis le matin même des Indépendances (fin des années 50/début des années 60). Celles-ci ont tout d’abord concerné séparément les développements structurel et culturel, avant que ne commence à naitre une idée de culture comme condition du développement économique."

Designs, devices and development: audience research as creative resource in the making of an Afghan radio drama

Andrew Skuse; Marie Gillespie

Participations, volume 8, issue 1 (2011), pp. 132-153

"This essay analyses the role of audience research as a change agent in media development interventions in Afghanistan. It analyses how audience research in transnational contexts involves a complex set of intercultural negotiations and translations that contribute to the enduring relevance and sust...ainability of the highly popular Afghan radio soap opera New Home, New Life. This is a ‘development drama’ that has been broadcast across Afghanistan since 1993. It is based on BBC Radio 4’s The Archers and produced by BBC Afghan Education Projects (BBC AEP). Audience research has been vital to forging a dynamic relationship between the creative teams who make the drama, the donors who pay for it, and the audiences who consume it. The article addresses three broad themes. First, we outline how data gathered in formative audience research, prior to the creation of the drama, provides the creative team with the dramatic raw material for the radio serial. The extensive qualitative data gathered by Afghan researchers in local milieux is translated so as to enable culturally diverse teams of writers and producers to ground the serial narratives in the lived experiences of its audiences, and to introduce multiple local perspectives on development issues. Second, we show how evaluative audience research, data gathered in the postproduction phase, plays a key role in providing critical audience interpretations of New Home, New Life’s dramatic themes. In so doing, it creates feedback loops that allow audiences to become active participants in the ongoing creation of the drama. The research designs and devices, developed over the last two decades to document the changing life-worlds of Afghan citizens-cum-audiences, are part of an ongoing set of transcultural encounters that contribute to strengthening the social realist appeal of the drama and to calibrating how far any given storyline can be pushed in terms of cultural propriety. Third, we examine how during periods of military conflict, when routine audience research becomes dangerous or impossible and audience feedback loops are disrupted, the writers and producers have to rely on their own personal and political experiences, often with unpredictable ideological consequences. We draw attention to the limitations and challenges of making dramas for development in highly charged politicised and postcolonial contexts. While, development dramas may be a cheap and effective way of dealing with certain informational needs, such as landmine awareness, they cannot redress social and structural inequalities or, as Western donors wish, eradicate opium cultivation."
