Language in African Urban Contexts
A Contribution to the Study of Indirect Globalisation
This volume contains the results of the Bayreuth SFB research program
“Effects of globalisation processes on the vitality of languages in West
African cities”. Two towns with different historical and colonial background,
Maiduguri in Nigeria and Banfora in Burkina Faso, were selected
as research areas.
The contrast between language and social institutions is most obvious in
the colonial and post- colonial world in Africa. Colonization was characterized
by the importation of European institutions which were of a
qualitatively new nature linked to the globalising forces. This qualitative
newness is captured in our term “direct globalisation“.
A basic observation is that the globalising forces led to a hierarchicalisation
of languages in Africa which is not obviously attested in the institutions
of direct globalisation. Our term “indirect globalisation” describes the alignment
of local practices to the external forces and institutions introduced
during a globalising colonial and post-colonial experience.

Cultures of Migration
African Perspectives
International Migrations have become a central topic in the Humanities in
the last years. Understanding migration requires a closer look at the migratory
phenomena and the continuities within the societies involved in the
migration process. This volume intends to overcome simplistic views on
migration and the shortcomings of a push and pull-factor analysis. Instead,
the perspective of the migrants themselves orients the approach of “cultures
of migration”. In this view, migration becomes a complex issue, and
motives and acceptance of migration appear to be a matter of negotiations,
in the migrants’ societies of origin and in the host societies as well.
The present volume brings together a number of essays exploring the cultures
of migration in various contexts. It is organised in three sections,
dealing with “Migrations as Encounters”, “Migration as Challenge”, and
“Transcontinental Migrants”. Ten contributions, each based on original
fieldwork in various parts of Africa, examine the validity of the concept of
“cultures of migration”, as explained in the introduction.

Proceedings of the XIX Congress of the International Commission

Austria, Dec. 4—Dec. 7, 2003
Worldwide hunting is subject to a manifest cultural change. Folk hunting
rituals are in danger of disappearing. Therefore the idea this conference
was to connect hunting and celebrating hunting luck all over the world and
to define the social impact of these activities. The different contributions
are focused around the topics hunting as preservation of environment, the
interaction of hunting and cultural change, the controversy of hunting for
food and pleasure, and the social impact of rituals and celebrations on the
hunting community.

Fossil Fuels, Oil Companies, and Indigenous Peoples
Strategies of multinational oil companies, states, and ethnic minorities.
Impact on environment, livelihoods, and cultural change
‘Fossil Fuels, Oil Companies, and Indigenous Peoples’ is a study of oil
production that focuses on the places from which oil is extracted, and on
the problems, both environmental and human, created in those places. Global
public awareness of the devastating impact of oil extraction on local
communities has grown considerably in recent years, due in large part to
Ken Saro-Wiwa’s work on behalf of the Ogoni in south-eastern Nigeria
and his death in 1995 at the hands of Nigeria’s military dictatorship.
This volume consists of eight case-studies, all of them attempting to answer
these questions: What can indigenous people do when faced with the
destruction of their natural and social habitats? And how do oil companies
respond to the various forms of local and indigenous resistance to their
activities? The eight case studies deal with oil-producing regions in Alaska,
Ecuador, Venezuela, Peru, Colombia, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea and
West Siberia and encompass 18 indigenous population groups.
