DU CORPS ABSOLU AU SUJET : COMMENT LES AFRICAINS CONSTRUISENT-ILS LEUR IDENTITE AU TEMPS DE LA MONDIALITE ?
FROM THE ABSOLUTE BODY TO THE SUBJECT: HOW DO THE AFRICANS BUILD THEIR IDENTITY IN THE AGE OF GLOBALIZATION?

Summary/Abstract: This text criticises the kind of received knowledge by which the (Black) African was conceived as absolute body and primitive, and also the position allocated to the African in modern socio-cultural space. Furthermore, it confronts the question of how Africans constructed their own identity in the contemporary world since they are no longer treated as absolute body or necessarily as primitive. What ideas do Africans imagine of other peoples, and how do they live out these concepts? In the context of globalization, African identity declines as diversale, relational identity. It is open to the complexity of inheritances and relations in a globalized world entity.
