| Content | This seminar aims to provide an overview of various issues related to order and security on the African continent over the long term from the colonial period to nowadays: security forces (police, army, para-military forces, vigilantes, etc.), day-to-day implementation of social order and supression of marginality (through confinement, forced labor, psychiatric asylum, etc.), and political dynamic (coup, rebellion, wars against terrorism, etc.) The sessions will be structured around oral presentations and collective work on different materials and sources: scientific articles, audiovisual documents, think-thank reports, press, etc. These sessions can only work with the active investment of the students. |
