La toute nouvelle revue Sources. Mat\u00e9riaux\u00a0&\u00a0terrains en \u00e9tudes africaines<\/em><\/a>, interdisciplinaire, multilingue et en acc\u00e8s ouvert, est le fruit des efforts conjoints des UMIFRE sub-sahariennes (CEDEJ-Khartoum<\/a>,\u00a0IFRA-Nairobi<\/a>,\u00a0IFAS-Research<\/a>,\u00a0IFRA-Ibadan<\/a>,\u00a0CFEE<\/a>,\u00a0SFDAS<\/a>), du laboratoire de recherche\u00a0LAM<\/a> (Les Afriques dans le monde), \u00e0 Bordeaux, et d’une solide \u00e9quipe internationale en Sciences Humaines et Sociales.<\/p>\n

Sources. Mat\u00e9riaux & Terrains en \u00e9tudes africaines<\/em>\u00a0se donne une mission originale au sein des revues universitaires en sciences humaines et sociales : placer au c\u0153ur de la r\u00e9flexion les mat\u00e9riaux de terrain, c\u2019est-\u00e0-dire les objets empiriques produits \u2013 et le plus souvent coproduits \u2013 par les chercheur\u00b7e\u00b7s dans une situation particuli\u00e8re d\u2019enqu\u00eate et selon des m\u00e9thodes sp\u00e9cifiques qui conditionnent le raisonnement et l\u2019\u00e9laboration d\u2019\u00e9nonc\u00e9s th\u00e9oriques. Ces mat\u00e9riaux sont de nature tr\u00e8s diverse, toujours relatifs \u00e0 un objet d\u2019\u00e9tude, aux questions de recherche qui s\u2019\u00e9laborent et se r\u00e9\u00e9laborent \u00e0 son propos et aux conditions contingentes de l\u2019enqu\u00eate.<\/p>\n

Le tout premier num\u00e9ro, volontairement \u00e9clectique, offre un excellent aper\u00e7u de cette approche originale<\/a>. L’introduction, sign\u00e9e par Marie-Aude Fou\u00e9r\u00e9, Marie-Emmanuelle Pommerolle et Oph\u00e9lie Rillon, pr\u00e9sente les postulats \u00e9pistemologiques et \u00e9tiques sous-jacents \u00e0 la cr\u00e9ation de la revue Sources<\/em>. Par ailleurs, les articles seront disponibles dans plusieurs langues (fran\u00e7ais, anglais, portugais).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The new interdisciplinary open access journal\u00a0Sources. Materials & Fieldwork in African Studies<\/em><\/a>\u00a0is the result of combined efforts by French Research Institutes in Sub-Saharan Africa (CEDEJ-Khartoum<\/a>,\u00a0IFRA-Nairobi<\/a>,\u00a0IFAS-Research<\/a>,\u00a0IFRA-Ibadan<\/a>,\u00a0CFEE<\/a>,\u00a0SFDAS<\/a>), the\u00a0LAM<\/a>\u00a0(\u2018Les\u00a0Afriques\u00a0dans le monde\u2019) research laboratory in Bordeaux (France), and a solid international team in the field of the human and social sciences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This peer-reviewed journal has taken on an original mission among periodicals devoted to African studies. Its aim is to focus on field materials<\/strong>, i.e. the vast range of documents encountered, scrutinised or (co)produced by anthropologists, historians, geographers, politicians, etc., in the course of their research. Highlighting these materials of various kinds \u2014personal notebooks, private and public archives, maps, leaflets, pamphlets, audio-visual or digital documents, maps, sketches, posters, objects\u2026\u2014 helps to shed light on research in the making and to unveil the \u2018toolbox\u2019 of researchers. Sources<\/em> has not only chosen to focus its reflections on the materials themselves, but the journal also wishes to work on the archiving and distribution of documents that are often fragile and inaccessible.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The very first issue, deliberately eclectic, offers an excellent testimony to this original approach<\/a>. An introductory text authored by Marie-Aude\u00a0Fou\u00e9r\u00e9, Marie-Emmanuelle\u00a0Pommerolle\u00a0and Oph\u00e9lie Rillon presents the epistemological and ethical positions that underpinned the creation of this new journal. It should also be noted that the articles will be available in several languages (French, English, Portuguese).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
