| Inhalt | As a first task, we will seek to define the specificity of colonialism as a form of domination, with paying special attention to the notion of situation coloniale (G. Blandier.) Health as a notion has been put forward as an area of the assumed benevolence (“the civilising mission”) of the colonial project, with specific reference to the colonial conquest of the African continent (ca. 1885-1994.) As such, we will see the extent to which the uses and deployments of health within colonial Africa has modified at a global level the practices associated with fields such as public health or the different approaches towards fighting specific diseases or epidemics. We will also study the role played by health at the onset of development as policy practice and as a key feature of the contemporary political imagination in and about Africa. |
