Matthieu Rey (CNRS, IFAS-Research), Sophie Dulucq (IFAS-Research), and Noor Nieftagodien (Wits History Workshop, University  the Witwatersrand) are currently preparing the co-edition of a special issue devoted to the  history of urban cultures in Southern Africa (19th<\/sup>-20th<\/sup> centuries) for the Revue d\u2019Histoire contemporaine de l\u2019Afrique. <\/em>This volume will gather papers insisting on the relationships between a specific place and stage \u2013 cities and towns \u2013 and the cultural forms that developed therein. From the colonial era to post-colonial times, urban cultures have indeed shaped particular types of sociability and specific worldview, whilst urban stages have provided the setting for artistic creation, leisure activities (music, photography, cinema, sport, etc.), new forms of sexuality, the development of a certain food practices, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to prepare this forthcoming publication (Summer 2021), IFAS-Research organized a study day (journ\u00e9e d\u2019\u00e9tude) via Zoom on the 18th<\/sup> of September, during which the authors presented their papers and the preselected articles were discussed. We also had the pleasure to have with us Odile Goerg, Prof. emer. (Universit\u00e9 Denis-Diderot), as well as Dr. Camille Evrard, member of the editorial board of the RHCA<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n
