Materials &amp; Fieldwork in African Studies.\u201d This special issue is about the \u201cSources of violence\u201d and can be accessed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sources-journal.org\/458\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sources-journal.org\/515\">The introduction<\/a>, written by the two coordinators \u00c9lodie Apard et Cyrielle Maingraud-Martinaud (IFRA-Nigeria), reflects upon the methodological, ethical and reflexive conditions of fieldwork in violent contexts and\/or on violent objects. The authors content that creativity in collecting and producing empirical materials is crucial; it requires a methodological detour as a way to avoid endangering researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The five articles illustrate different ways to implement such a methodological detour, and demonstrate how heuristic this approach is in understanding violent phenomena.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sources-journal.org\/431\">R\u00e9mi Korman<\/a>&nbsp;writes about the controversy that surrounded the responsibility of the Catholic Church in the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, drawing from a large body of press articles. Through notebooks he managed to get access to as well as to process and archive,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sources-journal.org\/386\">Michel Cahen<\/a>&nbsp;sheds light on the day-to-day activities of the Renamo during the Mozambican civil war.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sources-journal.org\/485\">L\u00e9o Fortailler<\/a>&nbsp;grounds his analysis upon a worksheet, used by one of his informants during educational sensitization activities in Cape Town\u2019s townships. He thus illustrates the complexities of the current anti-xenophobic campaigns in South Africa.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sources-journal.org\/412\">Ini Dele-Adedeji<\/a>&nbsp;scrutinizes the dynamics of Boko Haram, using materials he produced during his fieldwork in north-eastern Nigeria. Doing so, he contributes to filling the void of first-hand data on the jihadist group &#8211; one that is a by-product of the repression tactics used against it by the Nigerian State and army. Finally, the team members of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sources-journal.org\/388\">Nigeria Watch project<\/a>\u2014a project that collects and compiles data on violent deaths in Nigeria since 2006\u2014discuss the benefits and limits of quantitative methods in analysing violent phenomena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The issue closes with the \u201cInside the Digital Archives Studio\u201d section that presents an interview with historians and archivists involved in the valorization of the archives of Kayes in Mali: they all recall the fire that destroyed the archives in May 2020 and discuss the necessary protection of archival centers in the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two special issues, one on Environmental Knowledge (2022) and the other on &#8220;Photographing the African Social Worlds: Production and Circulation of Visual Representations&#8221; (2023) are underway.
